Ranked #8 of 16
bet365 review
The world’s best-known sportsbook, with a solid but secondary casino.
Our verdict
bet365 is about as established as online gambling gets: running since 2000, licensed in the UK, Malta, Gibraltar and many national markets, and home to a world-class sportsbook with a casino and live casino in the same app.
As a pure casino it is middling. The library is smaller than the specialists, casino promotions are weak, and there is no public VIP programme. Independent sites also show many unresolved complaints. Choose it for sports first, casino second.
