Full T&C's applyUnibet horse racing customers can be in no doubt that they have found a sportsbook that regards the sport as highly as they do. From the moment you spot the racing tab on the top navigation bar as the first dedicated choice of sport, it’s clear that you are in a place that really values your custom.
Unibet has long been respected as a great friend of horse racing, a highly regarded brand that has major sponsorships of the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham, as well as Epsom’s Derby Festival.
It’s a sportsbook with a serious amount of extra value for racing punters. It starts with a broad choice of meetings, from all the action in the UK and Ireland to action in South Africa, France, Dubai, South America, the USA, Australia and more. It is one of the top providers of live streaming and Unibet racing fans get the benefit with live video available on a significant proportion of that worldwide action. There’s a lavish level of detail with form guides, newspaper selections, a well-written guide to racing betting and the rules governing punting on the sport - as well as regular blogs on racing. You can even customise your page to include greyhound racing, while there’s a simple vertical list of upcoming races in time order.
Odds boosts appear with pleasing regularity - you can even find video tutorials on risk-free bets and more. This chimes in neatly with the Unibet sign up offer for new customers. Deposit funds in your account, place a first bet of up to £40 and if it loses, you get your stake back as a free bet.
The site is extensively easy on the eye, with a simple white-on-black set-up and the company’s distinctive green appearing as a spot colour. It’s also easy to navigate - as is the app, which crams all the features and detail into the smaller real estate of a mobile screen without ever feeling cramped.
With such a high level of user experience, and a clear focus on their sport, it’s small wonder horse racing enthusiasts feel welcome with a brand that is one of the very best on the market.

Full T&C's applyLive streaming is one area where Unibet scores incredibly highly compared to many of its rivals. As long as you have money in your account, or have placed a bet in the previous 24 hours, you will be able to watch any of the meetings in the Unibet horse racing list that carries live streaming.
And there are plenty of them. As well as all UK and Irish meetings, live streams are available from territories including France, Australia, the USA, South Africa and South America. The video on the website player and on the app are top quality.
The good news for Unibet horse racing customers is that Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG) applies from 8am on the morning of a race. If you back a horse at 4/1, then its odds lengthen, and it wins at 6/1, your payout will be at the longer odds.
Similarly, if your selection’s price shortens and it goes off at 2/1, you’ll be paid out at your original 4/1 price.

Full T&C's applyThe ability to bet through your mobile device is considered a right, rather than a privilege, by the modern punter. Unibet clearly buys into that expectation and delivers a mobile experience on Apple and Android devices that’s first class.
The depth of detail that characterises the Unibet horse racing package on desktop is on offer on your mobile too. So too is the high level of functionality. This is one of those apps that responds instantly to your touch and whisks you from race to race and sport to sport without any lag.
When it’s time for your selection’s race to get under way, Unibet’s excellent live streaming service is available so you can watch the action on your phone. Such a high level of user experience is key for today’s horse racing punter, who will find so much at Unibet - both online and on mobile - to hold both their attention and loyalty.
In-play betting is at the core of the modern sports betting experience. Punters love the fact that betting no longer has to stop when the action starts. Unibet offers in-play betting on many sports, though unfortunately not usually on racing.
Cash Out is a close relation of in-play betting. If you feel less confident about a single wager, or fear the last leg of a multiple might let you down, Unibet will offer you a sum to close the bet down before the action is over.
There are many examples of a Unibet review that speaks extremely highly of the experience of using the website. “Excellent odds and other promotions,” wrote one visitor to Trustpilot. “I have been using this site for years and am very satisfied with it.”
In a similar vein, another comment declared Unibet “by far the best site I have been on” and another said: “Really easy site to use, always great bonus offers and never hard to contact if you need help or have any issues.”
There are also plenty of Unibet reviews that display a high level of satisfaction with the company’s mobile offering. “Really enjoy using this app!” raved one visitor to the App Store. “It offers a variety of sports betting to choose from and is extremely easy to use. The occasional free bets are really attractive as well.” Those sentiments were echoed by the reviewer who said: “I really like this app. Easy to use and works very well - much better than other sports betting apps I tried before.”
That comparison clearly struck a chord with another visitor, who said simply: “I wish other apps were this good.”

How does Unibet work?
Extremely well. The sportsbook has established itself as one of the very best on the market since it launched in 1997, and the app is of a similarly high quality for Unibet horse racing enthusiasts. The functionality is excellent, making finding a selection and placing a bet easy.
How do you cash out on Unibet?
Look out for the cash out option on your bet slip. That will tell you what Unibet is offering you to settle your bet early. This may help you to limit your losses, or to close down a multiple bet and take a profit if you feel less confident about your final selection.
Is Unibet safe?
Yes. Unibet’s security standards are as high as any online betting operator in today’s crowded market. It is regulated and licensed by the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner, and by the Gambling Commission for customers in the UK. It has stringent measures in place to safeguard your data and finances.
How long do Unibet withdrawals take?
This depends on the banking method you use - and there may be some restrictions over how much you can withdraw at once. For all banking options, though, the money should be within your account within three working days.
Do Unibet offer best odds guaranteed?
Yes, Unibet racing customers can take advantage of best odds guaranteed on UK and Irish races from 8am onwards on the day of a race. This means if a horse’s price gets longer, you receive that bigger SP; and if it gets shorter, you’re paid out at your original price.
