Betfred.com Sportsbook Review

The Betfred sportsbook is our highest rated online sportsbook that we have reviewed.  Betfred is based out of the U.K., which has a highly regulated and competitive market place for online bookies.  This is great, because not only are you playing at a financially secure place, but you will also be placing wagers with reduced juice.  The competition is so great in the U.K., that many successful offshore sportsbooks can't even come close to competing in the United Kingdom.
    The Betfred sportsbook is a massive company that was founded in 1967 and has grown to accept close to four billion pounds worth of action in a single year.  With that amount of action, this sports bookie can work on some of the smallest of margins and still make a decent profit.  Why is reduced juice important? It is important, because it will allow you to risk less to earn the same profit or it will let you earn profit more with the same risk.



Betfred Sports Promotions

Betfred is known as the Bonus King in the UK and online.  Most of the sports betting bonuses are geared toward European based sports, but there is a £50 free bet that you can use to wager on NHL hockey.  To get the £50 free bet, you will need to be a new customer at Betfred.com.  You will also have to make a wager of £5 or more.  After making a wager, Betfred will credit you give you a free bet equal to your previous bet, up to £50.  This free bet must be settled within thirty days after you have opened a Betfred account.  You will also not get the free bet if you are making a deposit via Moneybookers or NETeller.



Types of Hockey Bets Accepted

Here, at Betfred.com you can wager on individual games, the winner of the Eastern Conference, the winner of the Western Conference and the Stanley Cup winner.  For the futures, Betfred has the better pay out odds for the majority of the NHL teams.  For individual games, it would be wise to shop around for the best line, but Betfred.com does come out on top more often than not.  You can also use your £50 free bet to place a bet on NHL hockey.




Betfred.com Navigation

The Betfred website has just recently been revamped.  Now it is much more easier and quicker to navigate throughout the website.  You can click on the buttons on the top to go the casino, bingo room, virtual game room, poker room, sportsbook or check out the lines on the live games.  You can also click on the promotions button and search through a variety of different promotions including the £50 free bet available in the sportsbook.



Payment Methods

Lets face it, if you can't make a deposit or withdraw your winnings, it will not matter how great the pay out odds that a sportsbook is offering.  Betfred has a wide variety of payment options for their customers including credit cards, MyCitadel, Moneybookers, bank drafts and bank transfers, which are deposit options available for Canadians.  Outside of Canada you can also use NETeller, Paypal and debits cards.
    You can withdrawal your winnings by using the same e-wallets or debit cards, that you used to make a deposit.  If you didn't use an e-wallet to make a deposit, then you will either have to request a bank transfer or have a check mailed to your residence.



Betfred.com Recap

Although the Betfred.com sportsbook is not very well known in Canada, I would still rate this as the best online sportsbook for Canadians.  This online bookie is owned and operated by a strong management team.  They are regulated and have been operating in the UK since 1967.  The pay out odds are generally above average and they have a wide variety of betting options available.  There is not a better or safer place to bet online and you will be able claim a £50 free bet on your first bet at Betfred.com.  Betfred is good for punters who bet on the NHL, but if you are looking at placing a bet on any of the European based sports, then the Betfred.com sportsbook would be by far the best place to place your wager.
