What is Best Odds Guaranteed and which bookmakers offer it?

Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG) is a promotion where the bookmaker automatically pays you at the Starting Price if it turns out to be higher than the early price you took when placing your bet. Bet365, William Hill, Betfred, Coral, and Ladbrokes all offer BOG on UK and Irish horse racing.

Are horse racing betting sites in the UK safe to use?

Yes, provided you use bookmakers that are licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC). All legitimate UK-facing horse racing betting sites must hold a UKGC licence.

Can I use credit cards to bet on horse racing in the UK?

No. Since April 2020, the UK Gambling Commission has banned the use of credit cards for gambling transactions.
