Sky Bet website review

Sky Bet is run by Bonne Terre Limited, a BSkyB Group company licensed and regulated by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission. As the bookmaker is backed by Sky, which is a member of the FTSE 100 group of leading companies, it is no wonder then that the operator is a leader when it comes to online gambling.

The website provides a variety of opportunities in which to place your sports bets or play one of the many online Poker, Vegas and Casino games available from your PC. You can also benefit from live TV streaming of sports and up to date news from the Sky Sports Centre.

Why bet with this bookie?

Gambling is certainly fun when you place bets on sport with this bookie. Sky Bet offers a number of exclusive features and online facilities to keep sports fans amused.

The operator provides punters with a good selection of markets on top sports such as football, rugby tennis, cricket and horse racing. You will be sure to find your favourite sports on the Sky Bet website and there are plenty of options when it comes to in-play betting.

For news and up to date results, the service on Sky Bet is second to none. Due to its affiliation with the Sky Sports channels you can keep abreast of the latest happenings in the world of sport.

The customer service aspect of the site is also top notch. You will find that help is available at any time of the day and an advisor is always on hand via email to answer any queries you have. Betting by mobile phone is also available with Sky Bet.

What about the website?

The Sky Bet website has certainly improved somewhat since it was first launched. You will not find it hard to find your sport from the A-Z listing down the left hand side of the page and site navigation is not an issue.

The latest offers and promotions are displayed at the top of the page for easy viewing. This includes details of upcoming events as well as live betting facilities.

Sky Bet is not short of features either. As well as the usual features you would expect, such as a betting calculator, stats and latest score service and a horse racing form guide, you can also take advantage of Sky Sports News reports which are available on the site at various points in the day, a YouTube video channel plus an interesting feature that you can use to switch the page to an Excel spreadsheet whenever the boss is around!

The operator is also one of the few bookmaker sites that support the live viewing of sports games online, right from your screen, although you do have to be a Sky Sports subscriber.

Free bet offers from this operator

New customers can claim 3 x £5 Free Bets. Sky Bet offers a number of promotions on its main sports like horse racing and football, with the latest specials including enhanced odds, money back guarantees and the Refer a Fan scheme for the World Cup. The operator does not have many offers for many other sports though and so its promotions are mainly geared towards the football fan and horse racing punter.

In order to see if you qualify for a free bet with Sky Bet you need to register with the operator through the link on the FreeBetting.co.uk website. By doing this you are opening yourself up to a wider range of possibilities when it comes to free bets and getting the most value for your money.

The Verdict

Sky Bet is a great place to come for those looking for an online sport betting service combined with their satellite television package, as you can watch the action and bet as it unfolds. The operator is well equipped to provide a top service for football and horse racing however some markets are given special attention over others.

There is an abundance of quirky and useful features on the Sky Bet site which are very impressive. However, the special offers on the site are nothing to write home about, unless you are betting on the two major sports featured on the site.

Overall, the site is extremely good at playing to its strengths, with a focus on selected sports and plenty of features, which are enhanced for those betting on Sky Sports-featured events.
