Overview
While LiveScore Bet itself is a fairly new online sportsbook, the general LiveScore sports media business – known for its real-time sports updates and live streaming – has been around since 1998, so there’s a fair amount of heritage and reputability to this bookie. And as you might expect, the site serves up an impressive variety of sports betting opportunities across various in-demand markets.
Promotions
The promos that a given sportsbook offers tend to be fairly central to its appeal, and the ones you will find at LiveScore Bet are a little wider ranging than you might have expected, given the relative newness of this sportsbook.
Naturally, the exact promos available are liable to change over time. But when we visited for the purposes of writing this review, we saw the likes of:
- Free bets
- Free-to-play games
- ‘Best odds guaranteed’ promos
- Prize draws
Features
You can expect to take advantage of some of the following perks and features if you become a member of LiveScore Bet:
- An easy-to-use bet slip
- Plentiful in-play betting opportunities
- Free bets
- A daily free game
- The free ‘Squads’ game
- Responsible gambling features, such as deposit limits and ‘reality checks’
Sports Betting Types and Betting Markets
Almost any vaguely popular sport that you can think of, you will be able to have a flutter on when you join LiveScore Bet. The below are just some examples of the disciplines and competitions that members here can bet on:
- Football, including accas, outrights and specials for the likes of the English Premier League, Europa League, Australian A-League, and many more key competitions
- Horse racing around the UK, Ireland, and wider world
- Greyhound racing at venues such as the Suffolk Downs, Central Park, and Romford
- WTA, ATP, and ITF tennis
- Virtual sports encompassing football, horse racing and greyhounds
Betting Coverage
LiveScore Bet gives its members the chance to bet via their mobile devices – whether on the smartphone-optimised site accessible through their device’s web browser, or the downloadable app – as well as on desktop computers. This allows them to take advantage of betting at moments when they may suddenly be in the mood or confident enough to do so.
In-play betting and live streaming are also key features at LiveScore Bet, with football, tennis, and horse racing among the disciplines for which the latter is available. That could be a key consideration if, during your in-play betting, you want to feel as informed as possible about what’s really going on in the given sporting encounter.
Software and Graphics
Whatever ‘form’ of the LiveScore Bet site you choose to access, you can expect an interface that is classy, presentable, and intuitive to use. The site design is an understated and prestigious-looking black and grey effort with all the key navigational options logically laid out, so you’re hardly likely to get lost trying to get from one part of the site to another.
Extra Value
We have mentioned the ‘Squads’ game a few times already in this review, and it might just be LiveScore Bet’s most distinctive feature. It’s a game whereby as many as five players will make up your ‘Squad’, and whenever they score in the matches listed by the site, you will earn cash.
Other Offerings
If you have been on the lookout for an online sportsbook that could also make a fine casino site for those times when you become a little bored of the football or horse racing markets, LiveScore Bet could be a strong candidate.
That’s because you really will get a reasonably well-stocked casino portal to immerse yourself in when you register an account here. You can expect more than 350 slots, for instance, encompassing both widely recognised and lesser-spotted titles ranging from Rainbow Riches Rainbow Frenzy and King Kong Cash to The Goonies Return and Thai Flower Megaways.
Other key casino-game categories are also represented here through such games as European Roulette La Partage, Single Deck Blackjack, and Baccarat Remastered.
Deposit and Withdrawal Methods
It’s a fairly straightforward process to put down money as a player at LiveScore Bet, although the range of accepted payment methods isn’t quite as broad as that offered by some rivals.
Payment Method | Fee | Processing Time | Limit Per Deposit |
---|---|---|---|
Visa | £0 | Instant | £5-£20,000 |
Mastercard | £0 | Instant | £5-£20,000 |
PayPal | £0 | Instant | £10-£20,000 |

Payout Policy
In common with other gambling sites these days due to legal and regulatory requirements, LiveScore Bet operates a closed-loop policy. This means that if you put down a deposit here using a certain payment method, you can expect any withdrawals you request to be made back through the same payment method.
Withdrawal Method | Fee | Processing Time | Limit Per Withdrawal |
---|---|---|---|
Visa | £0 | Up to 27 hours | £10-£20,000 |
Mastercard | £0 | 2-4 working days | £10-£20,000 |
PayPal | £0 | Up to 24 hours | £10-£20,000 |
Bank | £0 | 3-6 working days | £10-£20,000 |
Customer Support
If you find yourself needing some assistance at any point while you are using LiveScore Bet, all that you need to do to seek help – presuming you are on the desktop site – is click on the orange ‘Support’ bubble in the bottom left corner of the page. This will bring up a convenient facility for looking up entries in the site’s database of frequently asked questions (FAQs), and you will find a link to the ‘live chat’ feature here, too – just the thing if your query remains unaddressed.
During your times on the mobile site, the process of finding this help will work slightly differently – tap on the head-and-shoulders icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen, and then ‘Help’. You will then be greeted with the information database.
There does also seem to be a support telephone number and email address, but they aren’t super easy to find on the website, so we have included them with this review.
Who Can Bet?
Unfortunately for those who might have hoped to start placing bets here from other parts of the world, the site’s terms and conditions make clear that people will only be permitted to sign up as members here if they reside in Great Britain.
Licence
The company responsible for operating LiveScore Bet (UK) is LiveScore Betting & Gaming (Gibraltar) Limited – and that company, in turn, is licensed and regulated in Great Britain by the hugely respected Gambling Commission.
In Gibraltar, meanwhile, the site is subject to the licensing and regulation of the Gibraltarian government and the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner.
Bottom Line
LiveScore Bet ticks more-or-less all the boxes for a great online sportsbook. There’s a wide range of sports betting markets here, the site is pleasant and easy to use for both desktop and mobile users, and there are enough distinctive features and promos here to keep things really interesting in the longer run, too. The support database is also comprehensive and informative, and the casino section will further help ensure longevity for some enthusiasts.
Register an account at LiveScore Bet, then, and you are likely to be as satisfied by the site as you would have been by any of its much better-known competitors.
