Jamie Clark is the more senior member of the HorseBetting.com team, having first started writing about horse racing for his local newspaper 20 years ago. However, Jamie soon recognised that print journalism was not necessarily the key to the future of covering the sport. He started writing online back in the days when LiveJournal was a thing, covering the latest races and giving tips to his small-but-dedicated group of followers.
Over time Jamie has taken his insights – honed over years of fascination with horse racing, as well as his experience working at racing yards in his youth – across a variety of different platforms. Twitter, Facebook, and even Tumblr have hosted his horse racing speculations and thoughts, so he was a natural choice to head up our coverage on HorseBetting.com. While Jamie contributes across a range of different content types of the site, he is particularly skilled at finding the hidden value in our betting tip coverage.
Even when he isn’t working, Jamie’s life continues to revolve around horses: both of his daughters have their own, so Jamie’s spare time is usually spent playing taxi back and forth from the yard. When he does have a moment to himself, Jamie is working on a novel he’s certain will never see the light of day, but which he enjoys writing regardless.
In order to receive a recommendation from HorseBetting.com, operators must show that they are completely trustworthy and offer a fair gambling experience. Our industry experts carefully review all of the key factors that contribute to an operator’s trustworthiness. We aim to give you full peace of mind before you sign up for a betting operator. Read on to find out how we evaluate sites to bring only the best to you.
Security & Licensing
THE number 1 consideration
Security and licensing are the single most important factors to consider when assessing online betting operators. Simply put, you should never use operators that are not fully licensed and regulated.
This is an area that is always fully covered by our reviewers. For a start, we check the operator’s licensing situation and ensure that they are fully regulated. Operators have to display this information on their website, and it can usually be located on the homepage footer or an About Us page. Furthermore, we also check to ensure that operator websites are fully encrypted to ensure that players’ financial and personal data is fully secure.
Payment Methods
Assessing the options
At most online betting sites, you can find a variety of payment options. These options range from traditional methods such as debit/credit cards, through to more modern methods including a selection of eWallets.
Our experts provide comprehensive details of all the available payment options at each operator we review. We give you the full lowdown on how reliable and secure each payment method is. Our guides also assess withdrawal speeds and tell you about any associated transaction fees you may have to pay.
Bonus Offers
Add value to your account
Bonus offers are a great way of enhancing your online gambling experience. A fantastic welcome offer can really kickstart your betting adventure, while regular existing customer promotions help to add value to your account.
Our betting gurus run the rule over the full range of promotions offered by each betting site. This involves looking at the full terms and conditions of promotions, in particular areas such as wagering requirements, stake limits and expiry dates. The overall aim is to tell you how appealing each offer is and to help you decide which promotions to opt in to.
Game & Betting Market Variety
Find your perfect games
The range of online casino games and sports betting markets available to customers is bigger than ever before. But whether you like to bet on major sporting events, obscure fixtures from around the world or try your hand at online slot games, we’ve got your back.
Our reviewers carry out a full review of every game and betting market offered by an operator. When it comes to sports betting, this covers the quality of odds on offer, the range of events covered and the variety of markets. For casino games, our experts review the return to player (RTP) of games, as well as their stake limits, volatility and the size of the prizes on offer. As with all aspects of our reviews, our mission is to give a full rating of the operator and help you to decide which online gambling sites to use.
