Gentleman Jim Review 2024

Written by
Last Updated: 

Gentleman Jim is a new addition to the long list of betting sites UK punters have to choose from, arriving on our screens in March 2024.

Owned by Lovell Brothers Limited the company behind the Welsh-centric online bookmaker DragonBet, Gentleman Jim markets itself as a premium sports betting and online casino for what they call 'proper punters'.

At first glance, you can instantly tell it's a new betting site. There's a lack of promotion, which will presumably arrive in time, while their betting app has only been downloaded a handful of times on iOS and Android platforms.

With less than 100 followers on ‘X’ at the time of writing, Gentleman Jim seems to have a long way to go before it can be compared to some of the more established popular online betting brands.

But the early signs are promising, with a solid sportsbook and app to build off as they seek to carve out a spot in a crowded marketplace.

Gentleman Jim Pros
  • Good range of sports betting markets
  • Simple layout and easy to navigate
  • Dedicated sports betting app
  • UK and Ireland horse and greyhound racing streamed live
Gantleman Jim Cons
  • No Esports betting available
  • No promotions at launch

Gentleman Jim Sign up Offer

I will assume that the Gentleman Jim website will follow suit behind DragonBet.

There are currently no new customer signup bonuses or free bets on either website, which is surprising in this highly competitive environment. DragonBet does offer some good promotions for customers, though, and these could be mirrored at Gentleman Jim at any given time.

Considering that, there is no harm in checking the Gentleman Jim website to discover what new customer offerings are added.

Gentleman Jim Promotions for Existing Customers

DragonBet run promotions daily and the expectation is they will be added to Gentleman Jim sportsbook in the near future. 

As an example of what Gentleman Jim users can expect, Dragonbet run specials on various sports or price boosts on selected events, with a particular focus on Welsh teams and horse racing. 

One vital feature of most horse racing betting sites is the best odds guaranteed (BOG) service.

Best odds guaranteed means that if you take an early price on a horse and the starting price (SP) is bigger than the price taken, you will be paid at the more advantageous price if the horse wins.

If, on the other hand, you take a price and the SP and the horse are subject to solid support and go off at shorter odds than taken, you still get paid at the more significant price taken. It's a no-lose promotion, and I rarely bet on websites that do not provide BOG.

Winning Lucky 15 bets carry a 10% bonus, Lucky 31 bets have a 15% bonus, and Lucky 63 has a 20% bonus when all selections are successful.

These kinds of promotions would be easy to replicate on the Gentleman Jim website, and I look forward to their introduction in the coming weeks and months.

In-Play Betting Options & Features

In-play betting at Gentleman Jim is easily located. The in-play tab at the top of the page takes customers straight to the action.

As each sporting event goes live, it is added to the list of in-play events, where customers can bet on the outcome before the event has concluded.

Gentleman Jim does feature in the list of betting sites with live streaming, giving punters the chance to bet and watch UK and Irish horse racing, as well as selected greyhound meetings.

Bet Builder

One area where Gentleman Jim scores well among bet builders sites. Currently, bet builders are only available on football, but there are many games where you can build your bet.

Most of the major European leagues are covered, as are selected matches in other leagues from the rest of the world. Each game has a ‘Popular Build-a-Bet’ tab, where customers can pick from a range of ready-made bet builders.

With bet builders continuing to grow in popularity, Gentleman Jim has started well by providing an excellent service in bet builder sports betting.

Gentleman Jim Mobile Betting Review

Gentleman Jim can be found on both the App Store and Google Play Store.

The Gentleman Jim app downloaded remarkably quickly on Android and was pleasantly easy to navigate. The betting markets I was looking for were easily located on a clear and well-designed app.

Not all apps are as responsive as the Gentleman Jim app, which is worth downloading to discover its excellent range of betting markets that can be accessed.

Some reviews did not react favourably to the Gentleman Jim app, but I found it as efficient as many other betting apps on the market and I've added it to my list of online betting apps on my mobile device.

Customer Support

No evidence of a customer support section was found, and users with queries do not have access to a helpline or live chat. An FAQ section is available and provides solutions to many general queries and questions.

The only way I could contact Gentleman Jim was through the ‘Give us Feedback’ link at the bottom of the desktop site, or through their social media channels.

When clicking on the feedback link, those wanting advice on various matters concerning the website are provided with an email address for the support desk.

Even among new betting sites, more is expected from a bookmaker when it comes to dealing with its customers.

Responsible Gambling at Gentleman Jim

I could not find any links to their safer gambling section except on the home page, where there is a link in the banners at the top. It can be easily missed as it is the last scrolling banner on the list.

If customers are anywhere else on the Gentleman Jim online betting site, they cannot access the responsible betting page directly.

However, when located, there are details on accessing all responsible gambling tools associated with keeping betting habits under control. These include:

  • Daily/Weekly/Monthly Deposit Limits
  • Transaction History
  • Time Out
  • Reality Check
  • Self-Exclusion

Users can also refer to Gambling.com’s responsible gambling guide if they have concerns about their gambling habits.

Why Should You Bet with Gentleman Jim?

Although Gentleman Jim has apparent shortcomings, it is early days, and things will surely improve with time. It already has some bright spots, and the vast number of bet builders available on football is reason enough to open a betting account with them.

While they have yet to introduce bet builders on other sports, there are still all the sports betting markets you would expect to find on a new betting site, and most likely, many more to come.

Promotions and offers are sure to follow in the coming weeks and months as Gentleman Jim expands what it has to offer bettors.
