Offers change often and can differ depending on how you reach the site. The bookmaker's own terms apply. How to read an offer
What it does well
The Betfair Sportsbook launched in 2012 alongside the older Exchange, and the two now share one app. That matters if you like to check whether the exchange is offering more than a fixed price. Safe Sub, the 90 Minute Guarantee and Best Odds Guaranteed on UK and Irish racing are all documented in the app listing, and tokens such as Ghost Leg and Second Chance add some cover to bets.
Prices
Betfair Sportsbook sat about a point above the sportsbook average in our sample. We hold fewer compared markets for it than for most brands, largely match result prices, so read that with some caution.
Trust
PPB Counterparty Services Limited holds the betting licence. The regulatory history is the same as Paddy Power's: a £2m shared settlement in December 2025 and a £490,000 fine in May 2023.
What we could not check
Betfair's site and support pages refused our checks, so we have not scored payments and do not quote deposit or withdrawal details. The Trustpilot score of 3.2 covers Betfair as a whole, not the Sportsbook alone.
