To place your bets, you can either use an existing betting account with one of our partner bookmakers or register for a new one. To see the list of bookmakers, simply navigate to the Accounts tab on the Racing Post app. From there, log in with each bookmaker to manage your accounts, including deposits and withdrawals. For those interested in betting options outside the traditional framework, bookies not on gamstop provide alternative avenues.
When you use Swift Bet through the app, you can enjoy the same concessions you would on a bookmaker’s app. These include extra places, money-back offers, and Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG). If you’re opening a new account, make sure to check out the latest free bet and registration promotions to get the best deal available.
Best Odds Guaranteed automatically applies to your bets, ensuring you receive the best odds for the horse you’re backing. For example, If you place a bet at 3/1 and the odds drift to 5/1, you’ll be paid at 5/1. However, this doesn’t apply to SP (starting price) bets, which will be paid out at the price when the race starts.
To place a bet, go to the racecard for the event you’re interested in. Select the horse you wish to back by tapping the odds button next to the horse’s name, adding it to your bet slip. You can choose multiple horses for various bet types such as multiples and forecasts by clicking +Add Selections and exploring additional racecards.
Decide on your stake and choose whether your bet is to win or each-way. If multiple horses are selected, decide on the type of multiple bet you’d like to place. Your estimated returns will be displayed based on your total stake. Once ready, click Place Bet. To watch the race live, you need to bet £1 or more on it. Head to the racecard and look for Watch Live to start viewing 2-3 minutes before the race begins.
You can also use Racing Post’s website to place bets using either your existing account or by creating a new one through partner bookmakers. Access the Accounts tab on racingpost.com to see the list of bookmakers. Log in and manage your deposits and withdrawals from there.
Utilizing Swift Bet on the website offers the same advantages as the bookmaker’s site, including extra places, money-back offers, and Best Odds Guaranteed. Again, if registering for a new account, look for the latest free bets and registration offers to ensure you receive the best promotional deal.
When ready to place a bet, locate the racecard for the desired race and click the odds button to add your selection to the bet slip. You can add multiple horses for various types of bets by clicking Add to Bet Slip and checking other racecards for more selections.
Select your stake and decide if your bet is to win or each-way. When multiple horses are chosen, determine which multiple bet you’d like. The estimated returns from your total stake will be shown. Click Place Bet when ready. For live race viewing, place a £1 minimum bet and look for the Watch Live option on the racecard to start watching 2-3 minutes before the race begins.
