Online Betting Guide

"Let's Beat The Bookies" became a strapline which resonated with both those who seek out our great tips content and those who provide it.  

Many people refer to "beating the bookies" when they have a winning bet, just like they talk about "losing to the bookies" when they have a losing bet. OLBG takes responsible gambling seriously and we urge our users to never bet more than they can afford to lose. 

Whilst OLBG covers tips across more than 20 sports, it is the horse racing tips provided by the best horse racing tipsters for which the site has become particularly well known. 

OLBG has sponsored horse racing around the country including the OLBG Mares race at the Cheltenham Festival.  Each year, millions of people seek out our famous Cheltenham tips. The Cheltenham Festival is a great time of year for punters to consider opening a new betting account. The bookmakers compete strongly for your business and often provide better account opening offers than at any time of year. Check out our list of cheltenham offers. 

Royal Ascot l is the next big event on the racing calendar so be sure to visit our Royal Ascot tips from the OLBG members. 

Then later in the year we look forward to the World Cup in Qatar. We'll be running a big tipster contest for this to focus all our top football experts on recommending great bets for the event and these will be available on our World Cup Betting Tips page.

Sports bettors need to know the best betting sites to use to place their bets online as there are some big differences between what the different online bookmakers provide. 

With our users help we have built some useful bookie guides to help people to choose the online betting sites which are best for them. 

OLBG's regular sports bettors share their knowledge and real life experiences of online betting sites by adding real user reviews and discussing them on the forum. 

There are now over 80 licensed bookmakers in the UK so this information is much needed. 

If you would like to try out a new online betting site then read the reviews and once you have made your choice, see the latest offers on our free bets page. 

More recently, OLBG has expanded to also provide betting guides for online casinos. You can see a list of the best casino sites all with detailed reviews and choose from a wide range of casino offers. 

Sites like OLBG can offer a lot of support to help people navigate the world of regulated online betting. We only recommend licensed operators and understanding which operators have the right licenses isn't that straight forward. This is particularly the case in the US where offshore bookies & casinos still operate. OLBG is here to help, for example we help those in the US by listing the locally licensed and regulated casinos by state for New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Michigan. 

As the use of mobile phones grew, so did the popularity of betting apps.  

OLBG invested in building fantastic app products to showcase the great tips provided by our tipsters.  

The OLBG app has been downloaded more than 1 million times and carries average star ratings of more than 4.6 out of 5 across the stores.
