Deposit £20 and place a single £20 bet at odds of 2.00 or longer.

The £20 entry point is the highest in our top ten. The offer scores 3 out of 10: 6 for the £20 headline, minus 1 each for the 2.00 minimum odds, the £20 stake and the seven-day expiry.

Markets and Betting Types
247Bet prices more than 40 sports, with 100 or more markets on a Premier League match, cash out and esports among them. Existing customers get 10% cashback on tennis, a booster wheel and cash drop tournaments sharing £500, £10,000 and £30,000 prize pools. Markets score 7 out of 10: 5 for breadth across 40 sports, 1 for cash out, 1 for esports. 247Bet is not in our price feeds, so the depth figure is our own count.
Odds and Payout
247Bet is not in either of the price feeds behind our monthly odds test, so it has no measured payout and the odds criterion is left out of its overall score until its prices are in a feed we can measure.
None
Overall score calculated on welcome offer, markets, payments and app until an odds measurement exists.
Mobile App
247Bet has apps on both platforms, iOS 15 or later at a 22MB download and Android 6 or later, but their ratings are the lowest of any bookmaker we have scored: 1.8 out of 5 on the App Store and 1.6 on Google Play. The app scores 3 out of 10: 3 for both platforms and nothing for the ratings. There is no live streaming.
In-Play Betting and Live Streaming
In-play betting runs across the main sports. There is no live streaming.

- 10% cashback on tennis for existing customers

Payments score 6 out of 10: debit cards 2, PayPal 2, Neteller 1, Paysafecard and bank transfer 1. Nothing for the £20 minimum deposit or for withdrawals of up to four days, and no Apple or Google Pay.

Our Verdict on 247Bet
247Bet scores 4.7 out of 10 on four criteria. Forty sports and a cashier with PayPal and Neteller are the strengths; a £20 minimum for deposits, withdrawals and the welcome offer, and apps rated 1.8 and 1.6, are the reasons to look elsewhere until the November odds measurement adds the missing piece.
