What are Bresbet all about?
Bonuses
Welcome bonuses usually involve sites handing out free bets if a £10 bet is placed, however, Bresbet have opted for a slightly different offer.
They offer new customers 50% back on any first day net sportsbook losses as a free bet up to £25. To qualify you must use their promo code ‘welcome25’.
Bresbet also has a 'regular offers' section on their promotions page and they're worth checking out.
If you land four different winning accas in a calendar month (a double, a treble, a 4 fold and a 5 fold or bigger) you’ll receive a £30 free bet.
You can also get a 10 per cent bonus if all your selections win on a pre-match accumulator with four or more picks.
They offer a few decent horse racing offers too.
You can get your money back as a free bet if your horse comes second by a nose in a flat race, while the offer is also available if your pick comes second to the SP favourite.
Available sports
Bresbet has a solid range of sports and markets available. Popular sports like football are covered as well as more niche sports including Gaelic games.
They have a great array of football markets including player and team options. One slight negative is that football bet builders are unavailable for cashout. Most other bookmakers will offer cash out options.
When you head to their horse racing section, they have all the big meetings and races covered but the markets are limited (race winner, forecasts and tricasts). It'd be nice to see place options or betting without markets.
Bresbet also has decent in-play options. They have a dedicated in-play tab and their live markets are front and centre on their homepage. All major sports are covered and tidy graphics partner their markets and odds.
Bresbet unfortunately doesn’t offer markets on esports and while they have numerous American sports events including the NBA and NFL, they don’t seem to offer player props markets which may be off-putting considering other major bookmakers will have an abundance of markets.
User experience and interface
The Bresbet site offers a decent user experience. It has a slick theme with a blue and pink colour scheme which is easy on the eye.
At the top of the homepage you’re greeted with their carousel of new customer offers, other promotions and a responsible gambling section.
You’ll then find a list of different sports (football, horse racing, greyhounds, cricket etc) with their horse racing section taking centre stage below.
Bresbet’s in-play odds are below the horse racing section and it’s followed by a ‘Starting soon’ slot of upcoming sporting events.
The Bresbet site is easy to use and you won’t struggle to find what you’re looking for whether you’re a beginner or an experienced bettor.
Mobile and app compatibility
Bresbet’s desktop and mobile sites boast the exact same layout and theme.
The one minor difference is you have to click on a drop-down menu to get the A-Z list of sports on mobile. As there’s more space on the desktop version, it’s on the left hand side of the screen.
The Bresbet app, which is user friendly with slick graphics, has an average rating of 3.7/5 (33 reviews) on the Apple App Store.
App Store: 3.7/5 (33 reviews)

VIP programmes and loyalty rewards
Bresbet say they like to mix it up with different offers and boosts based on upcoming events. They also offer a loyalty reward programme where bettors can receive free bets and casino cash drops each week.
You’ll need to place at least three qualifying sports bets by midnight on Sundays to earn the bonus for the following week.
You’ll receive two free bets but the value is on a sliding scale depending on your stakes during the qualifying week.
Pros and cons of Bresbet
| Pros | Cons |
| Bresbet’s site and app is simple to use and easy on the eye | Welcome bonus could be improved compared to other major bookmakers |
| Number of sports and markets available on sports, both popular and more niche sports, is decent | No cash out on bet builders is a slight negative |
| Great array of offers and promotions including a solid weekly loyalty reward programme | Lack of esports coverage isn’t ideal and no player props on American sports sets them back slightly from rival bookmakers |
| In-play section, which has graphics and statistics, is worth checking out | |
| Horse racing specific promotions are a plus as not too many bookmakers will have them |
