Bet365 Review

Bet365.com has been developed to very high level in last years with many useful changes. Web site layout is set in pleasant soft green color. Interface is very intuitive and friendly one. Users have fast access to the betting tree in the left side of the page, current live events and different promotions links in the center, and the always-seen bet slip in the right. Bet365 have changed betting markets design in February 09 for good, making them clearer and faster to load. There is a live-betting link, which loads the console in a separate window. The console itself has been developed to a very high level in 2008, and Bet365 web designers continue adding new features and tools constantly. Especially live video and audio streaming of live-betting events is worth mentioning, it’s absolutely free moreover (you just have to be logged in your account). Following a sport's link from the betting menu, users can choose between all currently available events and markets for this sport. There is a drop-down menu for faster access to the different events of a market. Bet365.com offers many helpful features such as stats, bet search and livescore. Bet365 Mobile betting platform offers you the opportunity to bet anytime and anywhere, using your mobile phone. Platform is developed in two versions (downloadable one and WAP version), please see web site for full instructions how to use it. The site isn't the fastest for navigation though, this being a result of the many betting markets and options available. Still you will hardly ever experience some traffic problems with bet365's site, even in pick hours. Users can choose their favorite odds format: decimal, fractional or american style. Site is available in 14 languages: English (UK and American), Spanish, German, Italian, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Bulgarian, Greek, Romanian and Chinese.

Bet365 reserves the right to set individual betting limits for every account holder, which is a common practice for nearly all European bookmakers unfortunately. Bet365 trading department decision for limiting certain accounts is based on factor as: average size of the wagers placed, events played (small and unknown leagues are considered more dangerous for the bookmaker), arbitrage betting, etc.
