Bet365

Legend has it that the first bet placed at Bet365 was on a car park in the English countryside. Instead of sitting at a desk, the employee who took it was in a booth. It was the fairly distant 2000. A lot has changed since that incident to this day. Too much. Bet365 has since become the world's leading betting platform with over 20 million active players.

In the guide below you can find out everything you need to know about the "English" bookmaker. By the time we get to the end you just need to remember one clue. In betting innovation means Bet365. Or the other way around.

Bet365 About

It was one of the first platforms to enter the era of new licenses in Greece. More specifically, as of May 2021 it secured two licenses, Type 1 HGC-005-LH for betting and Type 2 HGC-006-LH for casino and under the supervision now of the NEC it continues to provide its services until at least May 2028.

Bet365 Registration

Simple and quick is the process of opening a Bet365 account. You start by clicking the "Register" button at the top right of the screen. Immediately a form opens in front of you. You fill in each field with your details such as first name, last name, home address, date of birth, email, and your username and password. You must also select the document for identification (ID card, driving licence or passport) and fill in the corresponding number.

Click on the Acceptance of Terms and Conditions and one more button and you're almost done. You have to make one more confirmation click on the link you will receive in your e-mail. If you do that too, you are a Bet365 account holder.

Identification

Normally the account identification process should be seen as an extension of the account opening process. Because through it you can make it fully functional and take advantage of everything it has to offer. Like, for example, making a withdrawal. The identification can also be done quickly and it is advisable that it is done immediately upon opening and not to exhaust the 30-day window set by law. You just need to send them the following documents:

• Personal Identification: Remember that you have already registered your preference document. It is one of the following three: identity card - driving licence - passport. Now you send them a color copy of the document - front and back if it's an ID card or a driver's license - and you're done with that part.

• Residential address identification: here you need a bill dated within the last three months showing your name and the address you have provided. It can be a utility bill, telephone bill, bank statement or a sworn statement from gov.gr

• Identification of bank details: here you are required to certify that the card, bank, account, e-wallet and any other of the available transaction methods belong to you.

Bet365 Betting markets

And let's now move on to one of the main reasons that have made Bet365 famous throughout the betting world. We are of course talking about the markets or special markets.

Bet365 Football markets

Below are the main football specific markets as categorised by match. Of course as a bookmaker that honours its British origins, Bet365 puts a lot of emphasis on football. Which is, after all, the world's most popular sport. Both for fans and bettors alike.

• Match Result
• Double Chance
• Goals Over/Under
• Both Teams to Score
• Result/Both Teams to Score
• Correct Score
• Half Time/Full Time
• Bet builder
• Asian Handicap
• Corners
• Draw no bet

Bet365 Basketball markets

Bet365 in Greece has a satisfactory sportsbook when it comes to special markets in basketball. In NBA, Euroleague, Spanish and Greek league games they are more than satisfactory. This might be due to the strong betting interest in basketball from Greek players. The fact is, however, that as a Greek player you will have no problem betting on specific basketball markets.

• Money Line
• Point Spread
• Game Total
• Bet Boost
• Bet builder
• 1st Half
• 1st Quarter
• Player Milestones

Bet365 Tennis markets

It is the second most popular - at least in terms of betting - sport in the world. And one of Bet365's favourites. That's why it traditionally devotes so much space and so many special markets to it. Especially in the big tournaments, in addition to the many offers* you can also find a multitude of special markets that will cater to your every betting preference. The following special markets are usually found in every tennis match:

• To Win Match
• Bet Boost
• Match Handicap (Games)
• Total Games 2-Way
• Set Betting
• Total Sets
• First Set – Winner
• First Set – Total Games
• First Set Score
• Match Result and Total Games

Bet365 betting markets in other sports

As a global bookmaker, it is obvious that it adapts specific markets according to the country in which it operates. But what remains unchanged is that it offers special markets in all sports above the average of other bookmakers. Particular attention is paid, however, to some sports that have a British origin or tradition. Such as horse racing, darts etc.

Bet365 Odds

It is its strong point. To be precise, one of its many strengths. Its reputation reached every corner of the globe precisely because it stood out in the odds. How much does its stand out? In the Premier League, say - as a locality perhaps - the vig only on rare occasions goes up to 3%. But in the other European leagues, too,the vig ranges from 4% to 4.5%. The same logic prevails in all other football leagues and even in all other sports. In general, Bet365 in the field of odds is consistently in the top positions.

Special markets

Responding to players' desire to bet on markets with higher odds or to practice their knowledge of a sport/match in the most profitable way, Bet365 has created a number of special markets.

And this in all sports. So you can bet on whether there will be a penalty in a match, how many three-point shots a basketball player will complete in the match, how many double faults a tennis player will make, etc.

You can also simply bet on who will win elections, Oscars, Emmys and all kinds of awards in a specialized area with special bets available at the bet 356 sportsbook.

Bet365 Asian Handicap

Bet365 is the best platform when it comes to Asian handicapping especially in matches of major European competitions and championships, but also in important national team matches.As is normal, the offer is limited to matches of smaller leagues, but the important thing is that there are still there. It may be just one line, but even so, Asian handicaps are still offered by Bet365.

Bet365 Outrights

What's important in this type of betting is the variety of options and odds. They are both at a very good level, which is important since you have to remember that you are tying up your stake, a significant part of your cash, for a long time. And all of the above should make it worth it. At Bet365 you can be sure it's worth it.

Bet365 Live Betting

By far the second best live betting experience you can have. Literally any sporting event going on at that moment anywhere in the world is available for betting. And with the best odds and the most special markets to choose from.

Plus, you can be helped by a range of available statistics (such as Xgoals and other useful stats of the match in progress and the past history of both teams).

And if you add to all of the above the vig that are on par with pre-game picks, live streaming and the availability of cashout at almost every stage of the game, it's safe to say that we're talking about the best option.

Mobile Betting

The key thing to look for in mobile betting is whether the platform has managed to create a mobile site and/or an app that has all the features that exist on the desktop.

In this light, Bet365's app gets an excellent rating. Through it you also have complete control of your account and can bet, deposit, withdraw and generally do whatever you want.

It's fast and it's also available on Android phones and those with iOS software.

Bet365 Cash Out

Bet365 was one of the first bookmakers to introduce the cash-out function to the public. And of course since then they have been constantly working on improving this particular feature.

So far it offers the three versions of it. Total, partial and automatic. In the partial cash-out you can simply secure a profit by "cashing out" part of your initial bet and in the automatic one you create a condition (for example on a bet of 10 euros at odds of 6.50 you set the automatic cash-out to 45 euros) and when it is realized the amount is automatically placed in your balance.

Bet365 Live Streaming

The usefulness of live streaming - especially for live players - is something we don't think needs to be mentioned. It goes without saying how useful a tool it can prove to be. And that is why we are not surprised that it is provided by Bet365.

But what literally impresses everyone who opens a Bet365 account for the first time is the breadth of event coverage.

We are used to other platforms covering European leagues such as Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1, La Liga and a few others. Bet365 doesn't stop there though, as they cover "televised" almost the entire European continent with the well-known exceptions of the Premier League and Super League. Football is once again in the spotlight. But it doesn't stop there.

Basketball from the NBA, Euroleague, Eurocup, ACB, Italian league, German league, Turkish league and several others are a log-in away.

Tennis is not limited to the Grand Slams and major ATP tournaments, but almost every hour and moment a match is broadcast live.

Extremely widespread coverage is also available for volleyball and water polo, and you can still watch darts, billiards and many other less high-profile sports.

Bet Builder

It was in the summer of 2018 just before the start of the World Cup in Russia when Bet365 players saw a new addition to their football sportsbook. In Greek the sign read "Make a Market" and for the first time in betting history, a bookmaker gave you the option to bet on more than two markets for the same match. This revolutionary feature was very well received and so not only did it remain as an option, it was passed on to other bookmakers.

It goes without saying that Bet365 continues to enrich this particular offer* with more and more options. So in major league matches the following betting options are available:

• Goalscorer
• Match Result
• Both Teams to Score
• Double Chance
• Goals Over/Under
• Half Time/Full Time
• Correct Score
• Player Shots
• Team Specials
• Winning Margin
• Goals - Odd/Even

Bet365 Transactions

There are many options available for depositing or withdrawing. From time to time Bet365 adds a new method, as long as it is safe and widely preferred. What you also need to know about your Bet365 transactions is that in the "Withdrawal" section, only the options you have "unlocked" with your deposit are "opened". If you deposit with a card, for example, you will withdraw with the same card. You can add another method if you wish, of course, as long as you identify it first.

Deposits

• Mastercard
• Maestro
• Visa
• Instant Bank Transfer
• Skrill
• Neteller
• Apple Pay
• Google Pay
• Rapid transfer
• Paysafe
• Paypal

Withdrawals

• Mastercard
• Maestro
• Visa
• Skrill
• Neteller
• Bank transfer
• Rapid transfer
• Paysafe
• Paypal
• Apple Pay

Bet365 Customer service

Bet365 maintains a rather laconic strategy in the customer service department. It provides only the absolute necessary means of communication. Certainly the training of its staff and their 24-hour availability can only be seen as positive, but admittedly we expected more.

• Live Chat
• E-mail
• Account message

Bet365 Live Casino & Games

Instead of resorting to the well-known casino providers, Bet365 created its own games. As a result, the quantity is also limited and the player cannot enjoy the popular titles he knows from other platforms.

The same logic applies to Live Casino. It has all the games that one can find on other platforms, but on a more limited number of tables. More specifically it has:

• 25 roulette tables
• 34 tables for blackjack
• 12 TV shows
• 10 for baccarat and sic bo
• 2 for casino poker

Responsible gaming

Responsible gaming is treated with great care and is fully in line with the requirements of the HGC.The platform and its managers are constantly vigilant to ensure the best possible conditions for players. As well as that certain limits are not exceeded by them. They also have the following tools at their disposal:

• Use deposit, casino stay and loss limits.
• Activity alerts: You set alerts based on the limits mentioned above and each time you approach them, you get a message about it.
• Pause time or cooling off time. In simpler language, the amount of time you need in order to calm down and get back to enjoying the game.
• Self-exclusion: by setting a cooling off time longer than the cooling off time, you can simply take a step back and come back when you feel confident with yourself again.

Taxation

Bet365 pays the tax resulting from winnings on betting, Fantasy Sports and Virtual Sports. It is not a universal measure, as this benefit is for selected customers. Whether you are among these selected customers is found out when you place the bet and there is an indication that the entire resulting tax is covered by Bet365.

In the casino Bet365 covers the tax on winnings up to 500 euros. Here again, this benefit does not cover all customers, but selected customers.

Extra Services

For a few years now, Bet365 has also been targeting players who enjoy poker in addition to betting. Not the familiar one you can find in live casinos, but in its most widespread form, that of Texas Hold'em.

Here again, Bet365 didn't rely on an external provider, but created the software required to provide the poker service themselves. The result is extremely satisfying. Many tables with cash games and several tournaments on a daily basis are available to poker enthusiasts.

Sponsorships

In addition to their beloved Stoke City FC, bet365 has occasionally sponsored many important teams in world sport. Mostly from the world of football. It also sponsors sporting events, particularly in the UK.

In conclusion

If you open a Bet365 account one thing is certain. You will never close it. That's because only when you've bet on the Bet365 can you understand what a real bet is. And then any comparison simply won't be fair. For the rest of the bookmakers. So you open the account and just wait and see what the next innovation you will enjoy on this website will be.
