Best UK betting sites November 2026: top 20 ranked

The Betano app has an impressive 4.8/5 rating on iOS (one of the highest on this list). The qualifying window is one of the tightest on this list, so make sure to claim the offer soon after signing up. Betano arrived in the UK market in 2024 and quickly made a name for itself, sponsoring several notable football tournaments, including currently the UEFA Europa League and Conference League. Customer support hours are limited, and some payment methods are excluded from the welcome offer. Football fans who want Bet Builders on other sports may prefer a rival. Its Trustpilot score is 1.2/5 from 4,300+ reviews, joint lowest on this list, and there is no VIP sports betting not on gamstop or rewards scheme.

• Swifty Sports suits mobile-first bettors who prioritise a clean, uncluttered app over promotions or live streaming, and racing punters who’ll use the 10am Best Odds Guaranteed.
• Football streaming is functional but limited to non-UK leagues like the Bundesliga and Serie A, so it isn’t the account for streaming Premier League football.

• Best Odds Guaranteed applies to all UK and Irish races from 9am, and you can stream 33,000+ races a year from 53 UK tracks for a £1 stake.
