Best Betting Sites UK | Top Online Bookmakers in 2025

Gambling.com Weekly Pick: Best Betting Site (December 1st-7th)

Each week, we highlight one standout bookmaker as our expert Weekly Pick.

The choice is led by Cathal Austin, our Lead Betting Site Reviewer, with input from the Gambling.com review team - recognising the betting site that delivers most for this week's sport.

Best Betting Site to Use This Week: Ladbrokes

With its impressive variety of promotions and markets across major sports, Ladbrokes is our top pick this week.

The '2-Up & Win' promo is perfect for betting on midweek and weekend Premier League football - if your team goes two goals ahead, your bet pays out early.

And you can play their free '1-2-Free' game for a chance to win up to £100 by predicting three correct scores.

Racing punters get best odds guaranteed from 8am daily on all UK and Irish racing - useful for this weekend's Tingle Creek Festival at Sandown.

You can watch and bet in-running on the entire Festival as Ladbrokes offer free live streaming of all UK and Irish racing.

If you want to bet on the UK Snooker Championship, Ladbrokes' odds compare very well to the best snooker betting sites in the business.

Best Betting Sites by Sport

Another busy week of sport is underway with football, horse racing and snooker to bet on.

The mid-season football calendar is in full swing with a packed schedule of midweek and weekend Premier League fixtures.

Jumps racing gets serious at Sandown Park for the Tingle Creek Festival at the weekend.

Meanwhile, snooker fans can tune into the climactic stages of the UK Championship.

Football Betting Site of the Week: BoyleSports

BoyleSports is a smart choice for Premier League betting this week thanks to its selection of offers and its pricing.

There's a '2up' early payout deal, which pays you out as a winner if your team leads by two.

They also run a strong rewards offer for acca bets, letting you either boost your potential return or protect your stake if one selection falls short.

Add in regular boosted offers on key Premier League games, and BoyleSports shapes up as one of the best options for the midweek and weekend fixtures.

Horse Racing Betting Site of The Week: Tote

Tote stands out for this week's horse racing at Sandown because of its unique pool betting model and its racing-focused features and promotions.

When you bet with the Tote, all stakes on a race or event go into a shared pool.

If your horse wins, you get a share of that pool instead of a fixed-odds payout.

The most popular option is the placepot, where you pick a placed horse in each of the first six races at a meeting - it's a great way to bet on popular meetings like Sandown.

You get live streaming, the Tote Guarantee (Tote's version of best odds guaranteed) and a decent range of racing offers.

Snooker Betting Site of The Week: Unibet

Unibet is our pick for snooker this week because it’s the easiest place to follow and bet on the UK Championship as it reaches the decisive stages.

The main advantage is that you can watch every match live on the platform, which makes betting during frames much simpler.

Even though snooker doesn’t attract many dedicated offers, Unibet still gives you a simple way to improve a price on any player you want to back.

Combine that with reliable in-play betting and larger selection of snooker markets than rivals, and Unibet remains the best choice for the tournament’s closing rounds.

How We Keep Our Betting Site Rankings Updated

We update our betting site rankings at least once monthly to keep them accurate.

Every site gets retested regularly, and we edit our reviews and ratings based on our latest findings.

When new betting sites launch, we try them straight away and review our full list to see where they fit. 

We also track how existing sites perform. If a bookmaker improves its service, it can move up the rankings, or vice-versa if it goes the other way.

This ensures the rankings you see on this page are fresh and up to date.
