Online Bookies FAQ
What is an online bookie?
An online bookie (or online bookmaker) lets you place sports bets through a website or mobile app rather than in a high-street shop. Online bookies offer features like Cash Out, Bet Builder, live streaming and in-play betting, and are available 24/7.
Which bookmakers are online only?
Online-only bookmakers operate exclusively on the web with no betting shops. Brands like Bet365, Sky Bet, BetVictor and Novibet are online only, which means they focus all of their resources on their app and website.
Are online bookmakers legal and safe in the UK and Ireland?
Yes. Online bookmakers are fully legal provided they hold the appropriate licence. In the UK that means a UK Gambling Commission licence, while Irish-facing operators must be registered with the Irish Revenue Commissioners. Every bookmaker in this directory is licensed and offers responsible gambling tools.
Can I bet online with high-street bookmakers like William Hill or Ladbrokes?
Yes. The major high-street chains — William Hill, Ladbrokes, Coral, Paddy Power, Betfred and BOYLE Sports — all have full online sportsbooks and apps as well as their shops, so you can bet online or in person with the same brand.
