Our take
bet365 is a sportsbook and makes no secret of it. The strength is depth. There are markets on nearly every sport and league, and the in-play side comes with live streams on thousands of events.
For this magazine's readers that is also the limit. We rate for casino players first, and the operator lists no casino library for us to score, so it drops stars on the floor. If you bet on sports as well as play, it makes a strong second account.
