Standard Jack Tanner 2 minutes ago From a Stoke-on-Trent Portakabin to one of the world’s biggest online betting sites, bet365 have come along way in a short space of time, but are they still deserving of their self-proclaimed title of the world’s favourite bookmaker?

We’ve taken an in-depth look at the bookie, starting with the bet365 welcome offer, which features up to £30 in free bets , and moving on to bet365’s range of promotions, the app, paymention options and live streaming service.

Payment methods : Apple Pay, Google Pay, Pay by Bank, debit card, PayPal, Paysafecard

The bet365 welcome offer is a little different to what you might find at other online betting sites . Bettors can deposit and wager any amount from £5 to £10 and get back treble what they staked in free bets.

For example, a £7 qualifying deposit and bet will reward £21 in free bets once the qualifying bet is settled. The maximum reward from the offer is £30 in free bets.

A bet365 promo code is not required for the promotion, although customers must place a qualifying bet within 30 days of registering a new account.

Min odds 1/5; no PayPal or paysafecard; paid as Bet Credits, stake excluded from returns; 7-day expiry

Debit card only; min odds 4.0 on 4+ leg bet builders and accas; 7-day expiry

Min odds 1/2; qualifying bet within 14 days; free bets valid 7 days; no Neteller, PayPal, Paysafe or Skrill

Debit card, Apple Pay or Truelayer only; min odds Evens (2.0); credited within 10 hours; 7-day expiry

Bet365’s welcome offer may not match certain competitors, but it is definitely a healthy bonus, especially when considering that there are fewer restrictions on the bet credits compared to other sign-up promotions.

The fact that there is both no minimum odds on the bet credits, plus low minimum odds on the qualifying bet works in the customer’s favour.

Bet365's existing-customer promotions provide plenty of boosts and guarantees, such as early payouts on football games where one team goes two goals up and their tennis retirement guarantee.
