T&Cs, time limits, and exclusions apply.
The sportsbook spans a wide range of markets covering sports such as tennis, basketball, soccer, hockey, golf, and horse and greyhound racing. Bets on lesser-known sports such as futsal and floorball are also accepted, as bet365 continues to expand its sports betting offering to suit different customer preferences.
The sportsbook section offers a wealth of markets yet is organized clearly enough for inexperienced bettors to navigate. Registered members benefit from a variety of useful features, including an in-play section where wagers on ongoing events are accepted, a live streaming service, statistics, betting news, and a history of previous results. bet365 also has a reputation for being one of the first operators in the industry to add esports to its list of products.
You can back your favorites on the go because the sportsbook is fully mobile responsive and offers downloadable mobile apps dedicated to sports betting. The betting provider runs a multilingual website with 19 available languages, making it accessible to customers who are not fluent in English.
More than 15 currencies are supported, and payments are processed through a wide variety of secure methods. The promotional section at bet365 offers a selection of bonuses designed for customers who follow different sports. Read on to learn more about the sports betting bonuses you can claim at bet365 and the conditions attached to them.
Promotions and Bonus Terms
The bet365 website hosts an extensive promotional section. It is divided into separate categories, each dedicated to a different sport. Some of the sections include soccer, horse racing, and greyhound racing, but the available offers depend on which events and championships are currently in progress. We outline some of the available offers at bet365 in the sections below, starting with the First Deposit Bonus.
100% First Deposit Bonus
- 100% First Deposit Bonus of up to £100
- Minimum deposit of £5 required
- Payments with Skrill and Neteller do not qualify
New customers can begin their betting journey at bet365 by claiming the 100% Welcome Bonus available to those who deposit a minimum of £5 into their newly registered account. New members who qualify for the offer can receive up to £100 in Bet Credits. The bonus credits cannot be withdrawn from your bet365 account; they can only be used to place bets.
If you place a bet with multiple selections, at least one selection must have odds of 1/5 (1.20) or higher. If you win using the bonus funds, the Bet Credit stake will not be included in your returns and will be removed from your balance once the bet is settled.
Tennis Accumulator Bonus
- Up to 50% boost on winnings
- Applies to pre-match accumulators only
- Winnings capped at £100,000
This offer is aimed primarily at tennis fans who enjoy betting on multiple selections and allows them to earn up to 50% extra on all pre-match accumulators involving matches from major tennis tournaments and events, including Grand Slam tournaments, the ATP Tour, and the Davis Cup. Selections from in-play tennis markets do not count toward the offer.
The maximum bonus you can receive is capped at £100,000 or the equivalent in your chosen currency. The bonus percentage depends on the number of selections in your accumulator. For example, double and treble accumulators earn bonuses of 5% and 7.5%, respectively, while accumulators with four selections come with a 10% boost.
The bonus percentage increases by five percentage points for each additional selection in your tennis accumulator until the maximum of 50% is reached for accumulators with 12 or more selections. If one of your selections is voided or postponed, you remain eligible for a bonus, but the percentage will be reduced.
50% Parlay Bonus on Accumulators
- Between 5% and 50% profit boost on successful accumulators
- Applies to North American sports markets only
- In-play games are excluded from the offer
Fans of American and Canadian sports can use this special offer to earn up to 50% extra on pre-game accumulators (parlays) for popular North American events such as basketball, hockey, baseball, and American football. The bonus applies to winnings from accumulators that contain at least two selections on two-way markets such as 1st Half Totals, 2nd Half Totals, Game Totals, Spread, Run Line, and Puck Line, among others.
The maximum bonus available through this offer is £100,000 or the equivalent in your chosen currency. You are not eligible if you have cashed out your winnings from the accumulator. Editing your selections to include in-play bets is not allowed and will void the bonus. Your selections qualify for the winnings boost regardless of their odds.
The structure mirrors the tennis offer: the more selections you include, the higher the bonus percentage. The bonus starts at 5% for successful double accumulators, while parlays with 12 or more selections can earn you up to 50% extra, provided all selections win.
The Bore Draw Money Back Promotion
Note that the refund does not apply to stakes that have been fully cashed out. If your stake has been withdrawn only partially and the match ends in a draw, you still qualify for the promotion, but only the remainder of your active stake will be refunded.Claim Bonus
General Bonus Terms and Conditions
While each sports bonus at bet365 has its own terms, many conditions overlap and apply to several sportsbook promotions. Matched deposit bonuses generally require bettors to add a specified amount of their own funds to their sportsbook balance and place qualifying bets of equal value.
The offer terms specify when bonus credits become available and how long they remain valid before they expire. For example, new members have 30 days after registration to claim the First Deposit Welcome Bonus.
Some offers are valid on all sports and markets, but qualifying bets must meet certain minimum odds. In other cases, in-play markets are excluded, and placing wagers on events already in progress will disqualify you from the promotion. The tennis and parlay accumulator bonuses, for instance, are available only on multiple-selection bets placed before the match starts.
Remember that bonus funds are not withdrawable and can be used only for qualifying bets. If you win, the stake provided by the free bet will not be included in your returns, meaning that only the net winnings will be transferred to your withdrawable balance.
The payment method you use to fund your account also matters, as transactions processed through certain methods are excluded from some promotions. For example, e-wallets such as Skrill and Neteller do not qualify for the First Deposit Bonus, so you should choose another option if you wish to claim it.
Bettors should also remember that free bet bonuses apply solely to bet365’s sportsbook and cannot be transferred to other products such as the virtual casino or the poker and bingo rooms. In most cases, free bets cannot be used in conjunction with refund or prize boost bonuses. Some offers, including the First Deposit Bonus, cannot be combined with any other sports betting promotions on the site.
Banking
As one of the leading sports betting brands, bet365 accepts customers from many jurisdictions and offers a variety of easy, secure ways to deposit and withdraw funds. Payment solutions range from standard credit and debit cards to popular digital wallets, online payment processors, prepaid cards, and bank transfers. Even checks are accepted for those who prefer them.
Most banking options support both deposits and withdrawals, but the minimum and maximum limits vary depending on the method. You can read more about the most popular options below.
Credit and Debit Cards
The bookmaker allows registered members to make secure online payments with a wide range of credit and debit cards, including those issued by Maestro, Visa, and Mastercard. Funding your account with a card is as easy as paying a bill online or making a purchase from an online retailer.
There are numerous advantages to using your card to fund your sports betting account at bet365. The operator does not charge its customers for card transactions, and payments are normally transferred immediately. All you have to do is select your card from the list of supported options in the cashier menu, enter its details and the deposit amount, and then confirm the payment. Card payments are supported in a variety of currencies, including GBP, EUR, USD, CAD, and SEK. The minimum and maximum limits may differ depending on the currency used.
Entropay
The operator maintains a high level of security for all financial transactions. Even so, some bettors are wary of using their physical cards for sports betting. bet365 offers an alternative in the form of virtual prepaid Visa cards provided by Entropay.
If you are interested in depositing with this option, you first need to visit Entropay’s website to register an account and create your virtual card. Once you complete your registration, you can load money onto your new virtual card using either your standard credit or debit card or a bank transfer.
When depositing with Entropay at bet365, your account is credited instantly, and the sportsbook charges no additional fees. No currency conversion is needed, as bet365 accepts Entropay payments in more than 20 currencies, including less common ones such as TWD, INR, and THB.
PayPal
PayPal is one of the oldest digital wallets in the world and is widely used as a deposit method by bettors residing in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Finland, Sweden, and beyond. Its popularity is easy to understand. PayPal is a fast, reliable, and secure way to fund your sports betting account without exposing your sensitive card details.
The only downside is that bettors must create a PayPal account and fund it in advance. Registration, however, is easy and takes only a couple of minutes. Deposits with this method are processed instantly and involve no extra charges from bet365. You can even enable the One Touch feature to stay logged in to your PayPal account, allowing you to make subsequent deposits more quickly and easily.
Skrill
Skrill is another popular e-wallet that works similarly to PayPal. If you already have an account, you simply need to select Skrill from the menu of supported banking methods and enter the deposit amount. After that, you will be automatically redirected to Skrill’s website, where you must sign in and confirm the transaction. Your money will appear in your bet365 balance within moments.
By using Skrill’s Remember Me feature, you can process your deposits and withdrawals faster because you remain logged in to your e-wallet account for subsequent payments made using the same browser and computer.
Bank Transfers
Bank transfers are among the oldest methods of paying for long-distance purchases and remain popular among many sports fans, including bet365 account holders. This method enables you to transfer money directly from your personal account to the betting operator’s account. The operator does not charge bettors for bank transfer transactions, but make sure you contact your bank beforehand to ask about its policies, as your financial institution may impose additional fees.
The main shortcoming of bank transfer deposits is that they normally take longer to complete. The timeframe depends on the currency used and your country of residence. Deposits from Australia, the United Kingdom, and accepted European countries, made in AUD, GBP, and EUR, normally take between one and three business days. Bank transfer payments from other countries or in other currencies take longer, as the money is usually received within two to ten business days.
Additional Banking Methods
As one of the major operators in online sports betting, bet365 supports a secure and diverse banking platform that includes a variety of country-specific methods to meet the needs of its customer base.
Online banking has gained significant traction among sports bettors following the emergence of numerous third-party processors that allow them to transfer funds directly from their personal bank accounts. To do this, you need to hold an account with one of the participating banks partnered with the processor.
Customers from Germany and Austria can use their local processing platforms, Sofort and Giropay. Bettors who are permanently domiciled in the Scandinavian region can use the local online banking processor Nordea, which works with some of the largest banks in the Nordic region. This method is primarily used by bettors from Sweden, Finland, Norway, and several Baltic countries. Those who live in Sweden may also use the online banking services offered by the local payment processing company Trustly.
The timeframes for completing your payments largely depend on the methods you use. Deposits are generally processed immediately, except when bank transfers and checks are used. In those cases, you need to wait several business days before the funds are added to your balance.
Withdrawals take longer because of verification, but digital wallets are generally the quickest way to cash out, with the money arriving within 24 hours of the request. Checks are the slowest option, with some bettors waiting up to 28 business days before their winnings become available. The table below may help you make a better-informed decision when selecting a payment method at bet365.

Loyalty and VIP Program
At present, bet365 supports several loyalty programs, including the Casino Comp Point Program, the Loyalty Club in the poker room, and a separate Loyalty Club for bingo players. Those who play for real money collect points that can later be redeemed for free credits to use in these sections of the website.
As of this writing, the betting operator has not set up a separate loyalty scheme specifically for sports betting, but this may change in the future.
Sportsbook Features
With its long operating history, bet365’s sportsbook offers a wide variety of sports and live events on which bettors can place wagers. Some of the most popular sports on the comprehensive list include soccer, boxing, basketball, cricket, golf, baseball, hockey, and snooker. Those looking for something out of the ordinary can wager on less conventional options such as futsal, darts, netball, surfing, and trotting. Esports are also gaining traction among registered customers. Bets on greyhound and horse racing are accepted as well.
All options are organized into separate categories so that bettors can quickly find what they are looking for. The range of available markets is extensive. Some popular options among registered bettors include moneyline, over/under, and handicap markets. Accumulators are also accepted, but all your selections need to win if you wish to collect a payout.
Those who prefer betting on games that are already in progress should head to the in-play section of the sportsbook, where they can choose from an extensive range of options. You can check when events are due to begin so you know when to return and place your bets.
One of the sportsbook’s key features is its live streaming service, which enables you to watch thousands of fixtures in real time directly from your desktop computer. Streaming is accessible only to those who have registered real-money accounts at the sportsbook.
The live stream works seamlessly on desktop devices running Windows or macOS. Do not forget to keep your browser and Flash Player up to date if you wish to enjoy high-quality streaming. The live stream section is compatible with handheld devices, including iPads, iPhones, and Android-based smartphones, so you can follow your favorite sports on the go. For the best picture quality, you need a wireless or 3G connection.
The sportsbook has a well-structured layout. You can choose your odds format from the drop-down menu. The website supports the three most commonly used options: decimal, fractional, and American odds. There is a separate section where you can read the latest news about your favorite teams and athletes. Statistics are also available and can help you make informed betting decisions.
Bettors do not need to be fluent in English to manage their sports betting accounts and place wagers. The sportsbook section is available in a variety of languages other than English, including Bulgarian, German, French, Romanian, Swedish, and Italian. The website responds seamlessly to mobile devices and can be loaded on smartphones and tablets running iOS, Android, and Windows.
Licensing Info
Those who are new to the sportsbook should know that bet365 is a legitimate operator. The well-known betting provider runs its website under licenses awarded by the Gibraltar and UK gambling authorities. Under the terms set by these regulators, the sportsbook is expected to comply with important guidelines concerning banking security, customer privacy, and responsible gambling.
From the beginning of the registration process, bettors are prompted to set their own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. This enables them to stay in control of their gambling activities and reduces the risk of betting beyond their means. Reality checks are also available to bet365 customers, enabling them to track how much time they spend gambling on the website. This feature allows bettors to set alerts that remind them when they have remained logged in to their accounts for a specified period. You can take short breaks from gambling by using the self-exclusion and time-out features.
Another guideline imposed by the two regulatory bodies concerns how payments are processed. In compliance with its regulators’ requirements, bet365 must protect all banking transactions to and from its website using SSL encryption to ensure customer funds are not exposed to fraudulent activity. The sensitive information you share with the operator while opening your account is kept private and is never shared with third parties.
Customer Service
The brand has extensive industry experience and understands that longevity in this business depends on keeping customers satisfied. For this reason, bet365 places great emphasis on providing courteous and prompt support to bettors who require additional information or assistance. bet365’s support team consists of friendly, helpful, and skilled advisors who have undergone extensive training to answer any questions you may have.
Customer service at bet365 can be reached in a variety of ways, the easiest of which is the live chat feature on the website. When all advisors are busy with other customers, you may be asked to wait briefly, but a representative will normally contact you within moments. To help the advisors handle your request, select the category from the list of options that best corresponds to your query. This will reduce the likelihood of your request being transferred to another customer support department.
Bettors who are not facing urgent issues can receive the information they need via email, with responses typically arriving within a day. Contacting the support team by telephone is also possible, but before doing so, you can check the FAQs available in the Help section of the website. The section contains a comprehensive range of common inquiries, so you are likely to find answers to your questions there as well. Whatever method you choose, you can expect to receive the information and assistance you need.
