Markets
There’s a heavy focus on domestic favourites such as football, cricket, rugby, tennis and horseracing but there’s also the chance to bet on athletics and American sports if you wish. BetFred may not offer quite the extensive range of sports you might expect from other online bookies but you won’t find bonuses and specials like you do on BetFred.com anywhere else.
If the sportsbook doesn’t happen to tick the right boxes then you could always try your hand at Fred’s catalogue of instant games, such as: video slots, table tennis and arcade games. The BetFred website also houses one of the best online casinos and poker portals you could wish to find.
Transactions and Security
You can start betting with BetFred as soon as a deposit has been made and there are plenty of options to do that.

Mobile Betting and Apps
There’s an official BetFred app for iPhone only but you don’t really need it as the great website accommodates Android, Blackberry and iPhone users just through their phone’s internet browsers.
However, if you are an iPhone or iPad user you’ll be able to download a number of apps to accompany the official betting app, such as the Fantasy iTeam App (Fantasy Football) and the ‘Football on TV’ app for all the latest news and gossip.
