How to Register at BetConnect?
- To sign up, click on the green ‘Sign Up’ button in the top right of this page.
- If you want to bet on sports, there are two options: pro and punter. Pro customers can make their own bets, but they pay a small fee while punters can only follow or copy the instructions of pro bets – they never pay commission fees. If you don’t know which option to choose, try using a different browser.
- Please complete the following fields and click on “confirm”. You will not be able to move onto the next step until you’ve done so.
- You can now log in to your account. It’s as simple as creating a username and password.
- Once you have added your address and phone number to the account details section, you are ready to create your account.
Free Bet Welcome Offer
If you’re new to BetConnect and would like to take advantage of their free £50 betting credit offer, we invite you to register as a punter and deposit at least £10 into your account. After this, BetConnect will hand you a £50 bonus which can be used to match your first three bets.
The £50 limit refers to how much you can wager on matched bets, not the accepted stake. If you have made three requests and used up all of your available credits, you will be able to use any unspent funds for other plays. If you still have some credits after making your third request, those will be removed from your account and added back as part of a bet if you want to use them again. There is no wagering requirement for any profit made so anything remaining in your BetConnect account afterwards is yours to keep.
This offer is only available to new customers who are signing up through the website and cannot be used by anyone who has previously been a pro.
Betting Features
Live Betting
It’s impossible to include in-play betting into BetConnect because the nature of sports betting changes so rapidly. Punters have 15 minutes to decide what they want to do with a bet request, giving them time to do some research and find the best odds available.
BetConnect would have to develop a new system if they were to offer live betting, as odds can change quickly. We do not expect BetConnect to do so any time soon.
How to Lay a bet?
When you log in to BetConnect, you’ll see the BetConnect button on the left. Click it to get a bet request. A few seconds later, the bet request will arrive with the details about the event, contest or race – but with the tip itself hidden. If you’re interested in that event and want to take action on your interest within 15 minutes, click “Unlock”.
If you think the tip given by a particular pro is absolute garbage, or if they’ve lost money in the past (see their ROI figure), then you may want to consider laying your money on another pro.
Bet Request
BetConnect’s professional bettors are willing to put their money where their mouth is. They’ve won too often at traditional bookmakers, so they’re looking for a new place to stay. But with BetConnect they have to share their tips with the punters. When you like the look of a pro tip, be sure to follow the bet request. Let’s say you want to bet £10 on Roger Federer to win at 3/1.To follow the bet request, go to a bookmaker offering at least 3/1 on Federer to win and match the requested stake of £10. Add your own stake of £20 (£30 total) to complete the deal. If you bet on Roger Federer to win, if he loses, you are refunded £30 from your BetConnect account, plus you receive a £10 payout from the pro.
Sports covered
At the time of writing, BetConnect does not provide coverage for every sport in the UK. However, they have made sure to include many of the most popular sports with a high viewership in the country. The full list includes: football, horse racing, tennis, cricket, darts and snooker as well as both codes of rugby and American football and baseball.
Our British-based bookmakers currently offer betting on all the major sports, so punters will never struggle to find a place where they can back a tip. We’re always looking for ways to expand our range of sports and we expect to see some of the more niche European and global sports added in the coming months.
Odds Levels
BetConnect is a revolutionary service for bettors. It allows users to consistently back their selections at the best possible odds, and can be conveniently customized to include additional sites if desired.
Suppose that you receive a bet request for the London Irish rugby team, who are playing at 3/1 odds. This would be an excellent value bet because the bettor is likely to have found a better price elsewhere. You could then seek out a bookmaker who offers this same price on the game, but if you find anything better, you will keep the extra money.
You can make a lot of money if you use this system, but you need to create an account at several online bookmakers in order to get the odds you want. This will take some work, but the payoff is good, because you’ll be placing your bets at market-leading prices time after time.
Mobile App
- Mobile browserFast connection & user expirience no matter of the device & OS.
BetConnect first published their Android app in January 2019, and the iOS version was made available shortly thereafter. Both new apps have received minimal user feedback thus far, but that does not mean you should ignore them.
We tested the mobile apps and found no issues worth mentioning. Players on the go will enjoy the same functionality of the desktop site as well as a sleek, clutter-free design.
We have found a few minor issues with the apps, but nothing that would impact your experience. If you are not yet convinced, remember that BetConnect does occasionally offer app-exclusive promotions.

FAQ
Should I go with a pro or a punter account?
Pro accounts are created for big-money punters and high-stakes players who might find it difficult to open an account with a bookmaker. BetConnect don’t charge their professional punters fees, so they can make as many bets as they want, and if they win well, the company donates their winnings to charity. Punter accounts are aimed at newbies who want to learn how to bet with pro gamblers’ advice.
Can I have a pro and a punter account?
Yes, customers can create both a pro and punter account at BetConnect. However, you’ll need to use a different email address for each account.
How does BetConnect earn?
BetConnect charges pro players 1% commission on their stakes (not winnings), and 2% commission on other sports, like football. Pros do receive 0% commission during their first 31 days, which gives them a chance to take advantage of 0% monthly offers relating to specific sports. Additionally, commissions are never paid on lay bets.
How to verify my account?
BetConnect will ask you to verify your identity and/or the source of your funds. To verify your identity, you will need to send in a copy of your passport, driving licence, ID Card and/or a document confirming your address. To verify the source of your funds, BetConnect can ask for information such as your occupation and salary.
Are you able to accept players who live outside the UK?
As BetConnect only has a license to operate within the United Kingdom, players from other regions cannot register with them. However, they hope to expand outside of the UK in the near future.
What to do if I forgot my password?
After you click the ‘sign in’ button, select ‘Forgot Password?’ toward the bottom of the page. You will get a link to reset your password if you enter your email address.
Can I change the type of bet request that I receive?
Punters can choose how much they are willing to lose per bet, how much they want to bet and whether or not they want to receive each way tips. They can also select whether or not to hide or show any tips that feature odds lower than 1.50 (1/2).
How do I know if the pro providing the tip is any good?
When you receive a bet request, BetConnect provides you with information about the player, including how many weeks they’ve won or lost and how much money they’ve earned/lost. If a player gets back £1000 but only makes £500, that would be a 20% ROI; if he loses all £1000 but gets £400 back, his ROI is negative 50%.
Info
BetConnect, a recently formed company based in the United Kingdom, quickly became the most successful exchange betting platform in Britain by achieving their first £1m in matched bets faster than any other exchange in history. They also surpassed this milestone within eight months of operation, reaching £2m in monthly matched bets by October 2019.
BetConnect makes it easy for regular punters to bet alongside the pros. The world’s first social betting network lets them do so, and it’s a fascinating concept – one in which punter and pros can work together to secure a profit.
BetConnect has raised £1.2m in funding, which will help the company grow faster. The company is claiming that it is the biggest industry innovation since Betfair.
