Sky Bet Review

Is there any niche of society that Sky isn’t taking over? They have the largest network of television stations in the country, comprehensive broadband network and now they are also one of the largest providers of online betting in the UK too! But how good is the service that they offer to those wanting to gamble on the various sports that they have odds on..?

Registration for Sky Bet is incredibly easy, meaning that you can join up and start betting in a matter of just minutes. Simply log onto the site, click on “Register” under the logo and fill out your details – that’s all there is too it! Should you have problems registering – which is very unlikely – then they have a dedicated support line for this purpose, so even when you have issues, they will be resolved straight away.

With the amount of money that Sky have and the huge amount of experience they have in giving people exactly what they want, you would expect them to have a site that is easy to use and completely intuitive: in this assumption you would almost be 100% correct. The site is rather simplistic when compared to other sites of the same niche, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing, because other sites can sometimes look cramped and therefore become difficult to navigate around. The only thing that could be improved upon is the homepage – it would be nice to see more information, instead of just lots of lists of matches/markets.

As you would expect from a site the size of Sky Bet, the number of markets that this site has is rather large. It isn’t as large as a few of the other sites though, such as 888Sport and Bet365, and it would be nice to see them include a few sports that are less popular. This means that they are a great site for those looking for more mainstream betting opportunities though, and the odds that they offer are nearly always of the same level as the other sites on the internet too.

Perhaps the most impressive aspect of Sky Bet though is the live betting that they offer to all punters, therefore meaning that you can bet on games as they evolve and use all their knowledge to decide on the next developments. Also, because Sky has the rights to show most live sports on television, they manage to integrate this with the markets that they have to create seamless coverage across the board.

Bonuses are an incredibly important aspect to any online gambling site, so here are the most important ones that Sky Bet offers…

Welcome Bonus: The Welcome Bonus offered by Sky Bet is disappointing to say the least. While other sites offer £150-£200 on a regular basis, Sky’s is only worth £10. Come on Mr. Murdoch, make signing up a more profitable experience!

Racing Concessions: If your horse should fail to start, get left in the stalls, gets injured mid-race or any one of many other options, Sky will refund your stake.

Loyalty Points: The more you play, the more loyalty points you build up. Once you reach a certain level you can either get £20 free or money taken away from your Sky bill!

Super 6: If you can predict the correct score of six different matches, you could win £100,000 – they even run this promotion for free on some days!

In conclusion, Sky Bet offers a great service for those looking for more popular sports, although those interested in more obscure ones should perhaps try somewhere else. Their odds are very good and their in-play service is fantastic, but if you’re looking for a meaty welcome bonus then don’t expect one here!
