How to choose an online bookmaker?
At Legalbet.uk, we have developed our bookmaker ratings to help each punter find the right fit for their betting needs. These ratings are based on many crucial criteria, including both expert opinions and empiracle data which should help provide valuable guidance in your search for an enjoyable online betting site. The key criteria that we look at when choosing sports betting sites are:
Essentially the odds a bookmaker offers is the gambling equivalent of the price charged by any other good or service which you buy. Where as there the lower the price the better, here the higher the odds the better. There are many other things to consider of course but if all else remains equal, the higher the odds the better. Therefore the odds ranking is valuable for those keen to find bookmakers offering higher odds on sports bets. This rankingis based on actual data gathered by our researchers for the major betting sports and kept up to date throughout the year.
Obviously different people like to bet on different sports, and therefore we have grouped the best bookmakers for the main UK sport of football. Although horse racing has more money wagered on it football leads the majority of national surveys as the nations favourite past time and it is the main betting sport when it comes to the number of wagers placed each weekend.
Not yet as popular as the more established gambling sports, the new category of Esports has fast been growing in popularity. This trend was accelerated during the Covid19 pandemic and the range of games covered has continued to go from strength to strength, with the spectator element for major competitions becoming mainstream.
A key part of the UK online gambling scene, especially for new users, is the promotional bonuses on offer. Our 'Bookmakers with Bonuses' list is another useful resource, detailing where new players can receive welcome bonuses with all the key terms and main pros and cons clearly laid out. It's worth noting that although we do our best to keep this list up to date, things can change at anytime and it is the information given to you by the betting site on the day you join that matters, rather than our reviews.
When taking everything into account and looking at the bigger picture, we have listed 100 of the UK regulated bookmakers that we consider to be the best. The full list is available below.

How to choose a betting offer
The Legalbet.uk betting offers section is an area on the website where users can find a variety of betting offers provided by different bookmakers. This section provides a comprehensive list of current promotions, bonuses, and special offers available to both new and existing customers. These offers might include welcome bonuses, free bets, cashback offers, enhanced odds, and more. Each offer is accompanied by a brief description, the significant terms and conditions, and instructions on how to claim it. This section is regularly updated to ensure users have access to the latest deals in the betting market.
How to choose an offer will involve looking at the features that are right for you, and there is no universal best choice. Our betting offers pages are aimed to be a helpful resource for anyone interested in sports betting, whether they're beginners or seasoned bettors, but they can not tell you what it is you should do.
