LiveScore Bet

LiveScore Bet Review

Overview

LiveScore Bet launched in 2018 under the LiveScore Group, one of the world's largest sports data companies. The bookmaker has built something genuinely useful: a betting platform integrated with the LiveScore app, which means you can watch live scores, check stats, and place bets all in the same place. This isn't just another online bookmaker trying to capture market share - it's a natural extension of what millions of people already use to follow sports globally.

The licence is solid (UK Gambling Commission), and the parent company has real financial backing. LiveScore Group operates the scores app on millions of phones, so they've got the infrastructure and user base to support a serious betting operation. For UK punters, LiveScore Bet represents a relatively fresh option with genuine integration advantages.

Welcome Offer

The welcome offer is £10 Bet £10 Get £30 Free Bets. You'll receive £20 in sportsbook free bets and £10 in Bet Builder free bets. To qualify, you need to place a bet of at least £10 at minimum odds of 2.00 (Evens). The free bets are valid for 14 days, and you won't get your stake back when you use them, which is standard practice across the industry.

This offer sits comfortably in the mid-range for welcome bonuses. It's not the largest available, but £30 total gives you genuine value to explore the platform. The split between sportsbook and Bet Builder bets shows they want you trying multiple bet types.

Sports Coverage

LiveScore Bet covers all the major sports you'd expect: football (domestic leagues and international), horse racing, tennis, golf, basketball, cricket, boxing, rugby, and esports. The football coverage is particularly strong across European leagues, with competitive odds on the Premier League, Champions League, and major continental competitions.

Horse racing gets full attention with Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG), so you're protected if the odds shorten between placing and the off. The tennis and golf markets are solid for major tournaments, though you'll find more niche markets on larger bookmakers. The esports inclusion is a nice touch for younger bettors.

Odds Quality

Odds on major football matches are competitive with the market leaders. On pre-match football, you'll rarely find better odds elsewhere, though you might spot marginal differences on specific selections. The overround is tight enough that you're not paying a massive premium for using the platform.

Horse racing odds are backed by BOG, which gives you real protection. If you back a horse at 10/1 and the odds drift to 12/1 before the race, you get paid at the better 12/1. This is a genuine edge and one reason racing punters should pay attention to any bookmaker offering it.

On niche markets and less popular leagues, odds can be slightly wider, but this is normal across the industry. Smaller bookmakers don't have the financial resources to price every obscure market as tightly as bet365 or Betway.

App and Mobile

The app is available for iOS and Android and works smoothly. Because LiveScore Bet is built by the same company as the LiveScore scores app, the integration is seamless. You can jump between checking live scores and placing bets without any friction. This alone makes it worth downloading if you're the type who follows matches live.

The mobile website also functions well if you prefer not to install the app. Bet placement is quick, odds load fast, and your account information is easy to access. For a relatively newer bookmaker, the app experience is genuinely polished.

Features and Functions

Cash out is available on most bets, letting you exit positions early if the match is going differently than expected. Bet Builder functionality allows you to combine selections from the same match, creating custom accumulators with your chosen odds. Live streaming is available through the LiveScore app integration, so you can watch matches and check bet status simultaneously.

Multiple payment methods make deposits simple: Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, and Apple Pay all work. Withdrawals take 1-3 days typically, which is standard across UK bookmakers. There's no withdrawal minimum mentioned, and the process is straightforward through your account.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Genuine integration with the LiveScore app creates a unique experience
• Strong football odds across major European leagues
• Best Odds Guaranteed on horse racing
• Modern, responsive app and website
• Bet Builder available
• Cash out functionality

Cons:

• Smaller brand means fewer niche markets than market leaders
• Fewer promotional offers running compared to major bookmakers like Betway or bet365
• Fewer alternative bet types on some sports
• Limited live streaming on markets outside football and racing

Verdict

LiveScore Bet occupies an interesting position in the UK bookmaking landscape. If you're already using the LiveScore app, the integration makes this a natural choice. The welcome offer is competitive enough, odds on major sports are solid, and the app experience is genuinely good. The platform won't compete on promotional frequency or niche market depth with giants like bet365, but it doesn't need to. For football punters and racing fans, the odds are tight enough and the functionality is complete enough to justify regular use.

The strength here is focus rather than breadth. LiveScore Bet does the core betting experience exceptionally well and adds real value through app integration. If that appeals to you, it's worth signing up.
