You could soon be busting out those moves like they’re going out of fashion (don’t worry, they aren’t).
We're good at what we do. With more than 20 years under our belt, some might call us the OGs of fun. Our award-winning casino shows we understand entertainment, and we've put that same know-how into practice to create a sports betting experience that places fun first.
We keep it light and enjoyable. Sports betting should add a bit of zest to your favourite sports, not complicate them. We see it as a way to make watching even more exciting, whether you're following Wimbledon, Royal Ascot or the latest season of your favourite reality TV show.

A Straightforward Guide to Getting Started
What is sports betting, you ask? Put simply, you pick something you think will happen in a sport and put some money on it. If you're right, you get more back. That’s it!. No need to make it more complicated.
As for understanding odds, when you see a figure like 3/1, it just means you'd win £3 for every £1 you bet. So a £5 bet would return £20 total if it wins (your £15 winnings plus your £5 back). Bigger numbers mean bigger potential wins but lower chances of it happening.
Start small and have fun. There's no pressure to bet big amounts. A cheeky £1 bet on your favourite team can be just as exciting as anything else. Take your time, browse what's available and only bet when something genuinely interests you.
The best part about sports betting isn't necessarily winning money. It's that bit of fun when you're watching your selection and being more involved in sports you already enjoy.

Popular Ways to Get Involved
For those with busy lives, here are some of the most popular bets:
Match winner
Simply pick who you think will win. Works across all sports – but might look slightly different, in horse racing it’s a ‘to win’ bet – and it's as straightforward as it sounds.
Player performance
It's not just teams you can bet on. Individual players offer lots of opportunities too.
Back individual achievements like a tennis player to win in straight sets, a footballer to score (and how many they do), or a horse to finish in the top three. Great when you've got a feeling about someone specific.
Live betting
Plenty of excitement is available both before an event gets going and while the action unfolds.
See a tennis player finding their rhythm? Horse racing getting tight? With live betting, you can place wagers on what you see happening in front of you, and what you think will happen next.
Each sport offers its own special moments for live betting. Tennis has those momentum shifts, horse racing has that final furlong and football has those feels-like-a-goal-is-coming moments.
Looking After You
We want you to have the best possible experience, which means keeping things safe and fun. Here are some things you can do to make sure you’re always in control.
Set your limits
Before you start, decide what you're comfortable spending and stick to it. We have tools to help you do exactly that.
Take breaks
And take them whenever you need them. Set time-outs if you want some space, and we'll remind you when they're up.
Keep it enjoyable
If sports betting stops being fun, that's your sign to step back. As part of our Game in Good Hands pledge, we’ve got fully trained staff you can talk to for free if you stop enjoying things.
Remember, only bet what you can afford to lose and never chase losses. Sports betting should add to your enjoyment of sports, not take away from it.
