Betdirect is the online sports betting face of Littlewoods Gaming (football pools) and are completely owned by Sportech plc. As one of the most established names in UK betting, Littlewoods have created a good online presence and offer punters a range of options with the Betdirect free bet from sports betting through to Casino games and Poker. Littlewoods have also created an effective In-Running system with their 'betLiVE' section, which allows punters to bet live on matches and events as they unfold. Betdirect further offer mobile betting as well as an extensive games section.

The Betdirect Sports Betting Website

The Betdirect sports betting website has one of the cleanest layouts we've encountered, with a good clear arrangement of sections. Although the sportsbook navigation itself may not seem to have as many options as other betting sites, all the major sports are covered and Betdirect still offer a wide range of betting markets, as well as some specials covering TV events and so on. A drop-down menu allows quick navigation to current markets. Besides the sportsbook section, Littlewoods have sections for Casino, Poker, Gaming, Mobile devices, and even a section where you can download wallpapers and screensavers. The layout of the betLive section is functional enough, although we found that we had to set our browser to allow pop-ups to operate their In-Running system.

Registration for the Betdirect Free Bet

Registration for the Betdirect free bet is done via a pop-window which asks the punter for standard address and email details. There seems to be an emphasis on security here as Betdirect will ask you to create a personal pin number plus an answer to a security question (mother's maiden name) should you forget your password. A couple of other plus points during registration are the options to set your preferences for either decimal or fractional odds, and another option to set deposit limits for your account - the latter obviously designed to encourage responsible gambling. For financing your online sports betting account, Betdirect accept Visa, Mastercard, Switch and Delta.
