Mark Jarvis Review & Test 2018

As we touched on above, Mark Jarvis started out in the East Midlands city of Leicester in 1963. There’s a dual-purpose racecourse in the Oadby area there which always attracts plenty of betting interest. Nowadays there are around 75 Mark Jarvis betting shops across the Midlands and South Yorkshire, including one in Doncaster. The racecourse there hosts the final Classic of the British flat season, the St Leger and other Group contests, as well as a number of Grade and Listed National Hunt events including the Grimthorpe Handicap Chase – a key historic trial for the Grand National. Through a deal with fellow bookies Corbett Sports, MarkJarvisBet was launched bringing this firm online. Both are licensed by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC).

There’s some great news for punters looking to Mark Jarvis for horse racing betting, as they offer the best odds guaranteed on all UK and Irish meetings when taking an early price on racedays. There’s more on that below as it’s just one many things we assess here.

If you’re ready then, it’s time to get our teeth into this Mark Jarvis horse racing sportsbook review. That usually speaking involves a discussion of a welcome bonus offered to new customers by the bookmaker, but the trouble here is that this one no longer gives one away. Mark Jarvis ceased their new customer offer back in 2017 and are yet to launch another one. That is hugely disappointing, especially as they used to match your first bet up to £10. Seeing it discontinued before we got round to conducting our review is a shame and we hope that it is something they shall look to address sooner or later. Punters want to feel valued right from the start of their gambling experience with a bookie. It’s hard to feel that way without a welcome bonus!

Is Mark Jarvis horse racing reliable when it comes to payments? There are a smaller range of options available than at larger firms, again reflecting the size and scale of this bookmaker. If you like to use eWallet services when gambling, then this bookie just isn’t for you. Mark Jarvis are strictly traditional when it comes to payment methods, accepting major credit or debits cards and bank transfers. This ensures you won’t be charged any fees by them at least. There’s more on payments in the table below and check out the betting limits section below for further details on deposits and withdrawals.

Once again you’ll have make allowances for this bookmaker, as their customer support options are limited. It is indicative of the size of Mark Jarvis’ operation compared to bigger players in the sports betting industry. There is no Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section, but a help tab is available. Use the Mark Jarvis contact number to phone them with your queries, while you can also contact them by post. It’s freephone for the UK, but limited to 9am to 5pm Monday to Sunday and 10am to 5pm on Sundays. You can also email them, but there’s no live chat function with this bookmaker.

We’re at the end of our Mark Jarvis horse racing review 2018, so what conclusions have we drawn? Horsebetting.com reports a mixed bag really. While there’s some specific catering for horse racing punters through the best odds guaranteed, daily specials, forecast and other multiples bonuses, this bookmaker is also out of touch with bigger and more illustrious competitors. No welcome offer or app are clear negatives, while there is massive room for improvement in customer service and opening up more payment methods.

From just a gambling perspective, Mark Jarvis betting odds for horse racing do offer plenty to punters who like this particular sport. As highlighted again above, you get the best prices guaranteed on racedays, while regular specials and the forecast and multiples bonuses allow you to get great value on any winnings. On the other hand, you are overlooking a service that is clearly lacking in certain other areas, but does reflect that is not a huge firm.
