There’s absolutely no doubt that betting companies anticipate this event months in advance and angle their strategies optimally for The Grand National but which bookies do so the best? With the Grand National coming up this year on April 10th, we’ve analysed the top bookies and their best betting offers as seen on topbettingoffers.uk for The Grand National so you can make sure you’re putting your money in the best place for the best price.
We’ve broken down our top three racing bookies based on filters that matter. Those include: best odds, best promotions, best features, and best customer experience. Though many bookies were offering attractive perks, such as Betfair’s claimable £100 in free-bets and 888 Racings incredibly lucrative sign-up offers, the main contenders boiled down to just three: BetVictor, William Hill Racing, and Bet365
BetVictor Racing
BetVictor Racing boasts the second best odds guaranteed of our top three making it a safe place to put your money if it’s value that you are looking for. They offer an attractive 600% bonus on their sign-up promotion, up to £30, when you bet £5 and their promotions extend beyond horse-racing and into other areas of their site. In addition to great odds, they offer money back specials and daily racing specials to keep up the excitement and their live streaming service makes them a generally great all-rounder bookie to place your bets with.
William Hill Racing
Though their sign up promotions are not as enticing as other bookies, William Hill certainly stands out as a great quality bookie when it comes to horse racing, and they are one of the most established bookmakers in the UK. With okay odds what makes William Hill stand out is their extensive market offering, live streaming services and well designed website and mobile app for you to watch and bet on the go. William Hill offers you a choice of 8 markets to bet on, which is double the average number of markets for other bookies and they also offer insurance betting. They currently have a sign-up promotion that entitles you to £30 in free bets when you bet £10 which is not bad at all and their website and mobile app feature a clean and organised layout that makes placing your bets easy and quick.
Bet365
Bet365 undoubtedly tops our list of best horse racing bookies by a country mile. They are offering a very attractive £100 in bet credits for new customers, the current biggest new account bonus, and ongoing free bet opportunities after sign up which includes free bets for winners on ITV. They have consistently held the title of actual best odds guaranteed and they also offer extra places in the big races. Though William Hill impressed us with 8 betting markets, Bet365 offer a grander 9 as well as early/overnight odds availability and rewards for picking winners. If it’s a well trusted and great value for money bookie you’re after, Bet365 is your answer.
Despite not being part of our top three, Betway’s free-to-play racing predictor is certainly worth a mention. To take part it requires no deposit or active bet and there are daily cash prizes on offer if you succeed in correctly predicting the winners of four randomly chosen races. The prizes range from £1000 for the regular racing predictor, to £10,000 for the ITV racing prize. There’s no splitting the pot if there are multiple winners however, it’s a fight to the death to claim that grand prize so brush up on your knowledge if you’re set to win!
