How to bet on the Betfred app
Placing an accumulator
- Log in to the Betfred app and open the racing (or any sport).
- Tap the price of each selection you want. Each one is added to your bet slip.
- Open the bet slip. With two or more selections, it shows the accumulator option (Double, Treble, 4-fold and so on), along with multiples such as a Yankee or Lucky 15.
- Enter your stake on the accumulator line, check the potential returns and tap Place Bet.
Placing a placepot
- Open the racing section and go to the Tote / Pools area, then pick the meeting.
- Choose Placepot. You need to pick at least one horse to be placed in each of the first six races.
- Pick one or more horses per leg. More picks means more lines, and the cost goes up with each line.
- Set your unit stake, check the total cost and confirm the bet.
See our bet types guide for how accumulators, multiples and the placepot work.

Betfred app FAQs
Is the Betfred app any good?
Yes, for app quality. Betfred’s app is rated 4.6 out of 5 on both the App Store and Google Play, with users praising how easy it is to use, its sign-up offers and fast withdrawals. On Trustpilot, the main complaints are about casino games, bonus terms and account checks.
Why is Betfred rated lower on Trustpilot than in the app stores?
App store ratings judge the app itself: speed, design and ease of betting, where Betfred scores well. Trustpilot reviews judge the company, and most low scores there are about casino and slots results, free bet terms, ID and affordability checks, and customer service rather than the app.
Does Betfred offer Best Odds Guaranteed?
Yes. Betfred offers Best Odds Guaranteed on UK and Irish horse racing from 8am on race day, so if the starting price is bigger than the price you took, you are paid at the bigger price.
Can you watch horse racing on the Betfred app?
Yes. UK and US horse racing streams are free on the Betfred app as long as your account has a balance. Other racing needs a bet of £1 or more on the race.
Is Betfred licensed in the UK?
Yes. Betfred.com is run by Petfre (Gibraltar) Limited, which is licensed by the UK Gambling Commission under account number 39544.
