NetBet Review 2025: Great For UFC Betting

Gambling.com Rating: 9.3/10

Our Verdict: Ireland's top UFC bookie delivers an elite MMA betting experience, along with promotions for betting on lots of other sports.

Quick Summary: NetBet at a Glance

For me, NetBet is the best UFC betting site in Ireland.

I found more UFC markets than big names like bet365 and Betway offer, with good prices and lots of dedicated UFC promos.

Outside the octagon, NetBet has betting odds for 39 sports. These come with a good selection of promotions as well.

There are lots of football and horse racing offers, from early payout deals to extra places and money-back specials for racing. 

The prize draws here are unique – I spun the UFC 'Wheel of Sportune' to win free bets, while every €10 I bet (on any sport) earned me an entry into a draw for VIP concert tickets.

Overall, I've been impressed by this site and I definitely recommend NetBet to UFC fans looking for a top fight bookie.

NetBet Welcome Offer vs Offers From Competitors

NetBet’s Bet €20 Get €20 welcome offer is well worth claiming, even if it isn't the highest-value offer out there.

For example, I claimed €50 in free bets by placing a €10 qualifying stake with LiveScore Bet, while Quinnbet's offer gave me €40 to play with. 

On the plus side, NetBet's deal is simple to claim and doesn't have any wagering requirements to play through.

Here's how it compares to the competition:

Top 5 NetBet Offers For Existing Customers

NetBet has a good range of promotions for existing customers across various sports. 

I took each one of these offers for a spin and chose five that stood out: 

NetBet UFC Betting

NetBet’s status as the official UFC partner in Europe underpins an outstanding MMA offering. 

I bet on a fight between Dustin Poirier and Max Holloway and found 21 pre-fight markets and 11 in-play markets, more than both bet365 and Ladbrokes offered for the same fight.

Prices are among the best I’ve seen and there is plenty of opportunity to squeeze extra value from promotions. 

I like the UFC acca boosts here, which can add up to 50% extra profit, depending on the number of legs in your bet. 

And I particularly like the €4k UFC predictor game, which gives you the chance to win up to €4,000 cash if you can predict five fight outcomes.

You can also spin the UFC Wheel of Sportune for more free bets and other prizes.

NetBet Horse Racing Betting

NetBet’s horse racing section has improved a lot with recent updates to the site.  

I can now get best odds guaranteed for all UK and Irish races, along with some decent money-back specials and weekly profit boosts, which wasn't always the case. 

Live racing streams are also now available, bringing NetBet in line with the best horse racing betting sites in Ireland.

Horse racing odds are on par with competitors, while each-way punters will appreciate the extra-places promos offered for major races. 

NetBet Football Betting

Football remains one of NetBet’s core strengths. 

You’ll find all the markets you’d expect, with prices that compare favourably to more established football betting sites like BetVictor.

Meanwhile, promotions like acca boosts and two-goal early payouts offer plenty of opportunities for extra value. 

However, I found more live betting markets and better in-play prices at bet365.

NetBet GAA Betting

When it comes to GAA, NetBet covers the basics, but doesn't offer the same market variety as specialists like BoyleSports. 

I looked at an All-Ireland Football Championship game and found only win and points handicap markets.  

If you are looking for a GAA betting site that covers basic markets at good prices, NetBet delivers. 

But if you value market variety and dedicated GAA promotions, I'd suggest a site like BoyleSports or Ladbrokes.

NetBet Rugby Betting

NetBet's rugby betting section is pretty comprehensive. 

I bet on a Lions Test match and found 81 markets available - more than Betfred, which is usually my go-to site for betting on rugby. 

A few dedicated rugby promos, such as early payouts or boosted accas, would bring NetBet in line with the best rugby betting sites in Ireland. 

NetBet Odds & Market Variety

In my experience, NetBet’s odds are generally quite strong across the board and are unmatched for UFC fights.  

NetBet’s overall margin sits at 6.5-7%, a tad above the 6% average, putting it mid-pack on football where big matches hover around 6.5%. 

However, in MMA the margins tighten to around 5.5%, better than the majority of rival sites.

Market depth is strong, with 20-30 bet types available for UFC headline fights, while Premier league football games generally come with around 150 pre-match markets. 

Horse racing spans every major UK and Irish race with lots of opportunity to grab extra value through promotions.

NetBet Bet Builder

NetBet’s bet builder is a versatile one that stacks up favourably against the competition.

It is available for nine sports: football, basketball, American football, baseball, rugby league, rugby union, cricket, ice hockey and Australian rules football. 

Up to six selections can be combined in each same-game acca.

My only gripe is that UFC fights don't come with a bet builder, which feels like a missed opportunity.

Live In-Play Betting at NetBet

NetBet has in-play markets for the majority of sports, with UFC pinned prominently on fight nights. 

I placed an in-play bet on a pay-per-view fight between Charles Oliveira and Ilia Topuria and was able to track the action through an impressive live event viewer.

It gave me up-to-the-second information on live strike counts, significant strikes, takedowns and an octagon timer.

I’ve found similar helpful stats and graphics when betting in-play on golf, tennis and football. 

NetBet doesn’t offer many live streams - which is a bit of a negative for me. 

User Experience & Site Design

NetBet is an intuitive site to use. My favourite feature is the 'Bet AI' tool.

The AI can answer any questions you might have about bet types or upcoming fixtures. 

I used it to help me place a bet builder. It told me the markets that I could combine in my bet builder - It also gave me up-to-date information on the match I was betting on.

In terms of design, NetBet’s dark-themed layout keeps the focus on odds - three columns for sports, markets and your bet slip. 

UFC events get dedicated banners and quick jump links, so I never missed a Fight Night card. 

The most popular sports like football and horse racing also feature prominently on the homepage, with quick links to latest events and odds.

Depositing & Withdrawing Funds

NetBet Betting App

Compared to super-smooth betting apps like the one from LiveScore Bet, the NetBet app feels a small bit clunky to me at times.

I’ve experienced minor glitches when betting in-play, although I have noticed an improvement over time as NetBet continues to roll out app updates.

Over two weeks of use, the app never fully crashed on Wi-Fi or 4G. 

The live stats and graphics always load quickly, while adding picks to the bet builder is simple.

Fingerprint login and push notifications (game reminders, settled bets) ensured I didn’t miss anything. 

Overall, it's a functional app that could use a little more polish.
