Where we Operate

Betfred is one of the largest independent bookmakers in the UK, with 1,350 betting shops and an online business with over 800,000 active customers.

We have expanded to the USA, offering to play online and in person across ten states.

We have also recently established a presence in South Africa with over 50 betting halls for our customers, plus a state-of-the-art Sportsbook and gaming website to play online.

How did we get here?

Betfred can trace its roots back to 1967. Brothers Fred and Peter Done had fearlessly backed England to win the World Cup twelve months earlier in ’66 and, with the proceeds, set up their very first betting shop in Salford.

After a fruitful and colourful period of hard work and consolidation, fast forward to today, where Betfred is known for its competitive odds, diverse betting options, innovative promotions and expansion into the United States, where we hold betting licences in 10 states, including Pennsylvania, Colorado and Ohio.

In addition to its presence in the UK and the USA, we recently established a new presence in South Africa with over 50 betting halls and have taken a majority shareholding in LottoStar, which offers fixed-odds numbers betting and Live Games on its online platform.

The company’s expansion into the South African market reflects its commitment to growing its global presence and providing customers with a diverse range of betting options, whether they prefer to bet in person or online.
