I thought it would be worth doing a thorough review of the bet365 website to see if the standard and quality of their product lives up to their status as one of the big players in the industry. To begin the review, I followed the website’s registration process.
How I registered with bet365
I've found that whenever I decide to place a bet online, I was required to register with my personal details. However, from my experience the simplicity of this process can vary. On the bet365 website, I clicked on the sports logo on the landing page. Of course, I couldn’t place a bet yet as I had not signed up but I soon found the registration button.
Clicking this revealed a screen where I entered my details to create my account. The process was simple enough although there was a help available should I have got stuck. With everything filled out correctly, all that was left was to confirm my details. Once this was done my account was created and I could start using the site.
It should be noted that I still had to upload some documents to verify my identification before I could have access to the full features such as withdrawing funds. I feel this is standard practice across betting sites and I could do this from within the account page on bet365.
My experience starting out with bet365
Having a verified account meant that I could now start exploring the site and placing my first wagers. I like to bet on football, tennis and horse racing and I found all three disciplines were easy to access thanks to the very clear and simple layout of the screen.
I feel user experience is key to any website, both for the user, in terms of the satisfaction they get from using the sit, and also for the company, who do not want their clients feeling frustrated and heading off elsewhere. And this is where bet365 get my first real nod of approval.
Finding my way round the site was easier than I ever expected. I found the minimalist approach works and all the main features are all easy to access. The main page is populated with all the live and upcoming events so I could get straight down to exploring the depth of markets available on the weekend’s football action.

Bet365 choice of sports and bet types
In my opinion there is certainly no shortage of choice on bet365. All the major sports, plus many minor ones, I found are covered in the sportsbook, with leagues and tournaments from all over the world featured. For someone like me, who has an interest in South American football, this is great, with so many top and lower tier divisions covered. As I looked deeper into the range of events available, I was staggered by the choice. I also found myself perusing lesser known leagues in other countries and was quite amazed at the number of markets available, even at this level.
I noticed the horse racing section benefits from the same smooth layout and easy user interface and is also backed up by a very good selection of statistics and a strong selection of markets. I felt the site would make regular punters feel right at home but would not be too overwhelming for newcomers.
I knew bet365 were big on betting but it is not until you explore the site that you realise just how much effort has gone into this particular product. The interface, the graphics, the game statistics and the choice of markets puts them right at the top in my book. Of course, as with all their features, the ultimate range of events will be dictated by the country in which you are based but for a UK customer like me the choice was more than enough to meet my requirements as a casual punter.
Overall, I found the live betting section was just as easy to use as the main betting site. In fact, all the sections work seamlessly together.
Mobile betting with Bet365
With apps available for Apple and Android devices as well as mobile version of the main site, I think bet365 have mobile betting covered. I found the transition from main site to mobile to be totally seamless and was able to enjoy the experience just in a smaller package. I really thought the mobile app is so well designed that there was no period of adjustment for me here. Everything I wanted was just a top of the screen or two away.
My Summary
To sum up I would say the bet365 website is without a doubt one of the best out there. I found it well designed and works at lightning-fast pace.
