Online Bookie for UK/Irish Racing

10 years 2 months ago

Hi All

Can you guys suggest an online bookie that a South African can use, which allows us to get a price on UK and Irish Racing?

I have a Hollywood account, but don't like the "Open Win" option on some races. So would prefer a site where I can take a price instead.

I am aware of sites like Ladbrokes, bet365 etc, but not sure how easy it would be to deposit and withdraw from those sites for a resident South African.

Thanks in advance.

BetVictor accept custom from residents of South Africa and also allow you to operate your account in Rand, so I wouldn't imagine depositing/withdrawing would be a big problem.

They certainly list Rand amongst the accepted account currencies on their registration page, so I assume there's no problem on that score.

Only their poker site is closed to SA residents, not their sportsbook. Click on their 'help' icon and then look under 'Can I gamble legally with BetVictor from my country?'

Hi Bob

Some South African sites keep it at "Open Win" and "Open Place" for some meetings. Not sure on the rationale, but I am considering my options as I prefer SP at the very least.

I would say racebets.com are one or if not the best bookies for racing. Plenty ante-posts way ahead of time to get involved in and can get your exactas & trifectas on for uk racing. Playing in Euros or Dollars tho but worth it.

Racebets' odds are quite a bit below average in my experience and, as Bob says, they will limit you very quickly if you start winning.
