Fitzdares Welcome Offer: 25% Odds Boost Every Day
Fitzdares has no free bet for new customers. Instead every customer can boost the odds on one three-fold or bigger accumulator or bet builder on football or tennis by 25% each day, up to a £25 stake, with winnings paid in cash. A £25 accumulator at 4/1 pays at 5/1, so £25 extra if it wins and nothing if it loses. The offer scores 2 out of 10: 3 for a boost-only offer, minus 1 for the £25 stake cap.

Markets and Betting Types
Fitzdares prices 24 sports, racing above all, with 120 or more markets on a Premier League match, cash out, a bet builder, live streaming for a minimum stake, Best Odds Guaranteed on racing and esports in the schedule, plus daily accumulator boosts. Members can place bets by phone, which no other bookmaker on our list offers as standard. It is not in our price feeds, so the depth figure is our own count. Markets score 9 out of 10: 4 for breadth, 1 each for cash out, bet builder, streaming, Best Odds Guaranteed and esports.
Odds and Payout
Fitzdares 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.

Our Verdict on Fitzdares
Fitzdares scores 4.7 out of 10 on four criteria. It is a service proposition, phone betting and an account manager, rather than a value one: no free bet, a card-only cashier, and odds unmeasured while it sits outside our price feeds. The book itself is fuller than the old rating suggested, with streaming, cash out and Best Odds Guaranteed.
