SBK Sports Review

SBK is a brand-new ‘True Price’ sportsbook powered by Smarkets. It focuses on social betting and allows you to share your thoughts and opinions with other users. If you find a market that you reckon has a decent chance of winning, you can share it with the community. Similarly, you can take advantage of other punter’s betting tips.

The operator offers pre-match and live markets on several sports including horse racing, football, tennis, and cricket. What’s more, there’s a decent variety of bonus offers for both new and existing customers to claim.

The SBK sportsbook app is licenced and regulated by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission and the Malta Gaming Authority.

If you enjoy betting on horse racing, we think you’ll be pleased with what this app has to offer. If covers all UK and Irish racing in addition to a selection of South African and French meetings.

When you arrive at the racing section of the sportsbook, the most popular events are displayed in the centre of your screen. However, you can view every single racecard for the day by pressing the ‘Today’ button. Alternatively, if you want to bet on a specific meeting, click the ‘Racecourses’ link.

When you click on a racecard, all the information you need to make an informed betting decision is displayed. For instance, you can view stats relating to weight, form, age, etc. What’s more, the distance of the race and the going is also available.

You won’t just be limited to straight-up single bets either. If you think your runner will finish in the top three places, just press the ‘Top 3’ button. The odds will be much lower, but it’s a great way to protect your bet if it’s a competitive race. You can also place each-way wagers and create multiples.

If any racing projections have been posted by other punters, you can view them by pressing the ‘Tips’ button on the racecard. This will only display the predictions for the race you’re betting on. This saves you from having to scroll through pages and pages of tips.

If you want to place an in-play bet, click the lightning bolt icon at the top of your screen. There are plenty of sports to choose from including football, golf, tennis, and snooker. Moreover, the live and pre-match markets are extremely similar. The only thing that changes is the odds. The longer an event goes on, the greater the odds will be.

The app also has in-play graphics which are useful when you’re placing a wager. You can find out which team has had more possession and shots on goal when you’re betting on football. You can even build multiples if you want to increase your odds. Overall, the live betting section of the app is fantastic.

The platform is relatively new, therefore, new features are being added regularly. Here are some of the things you can enjoy at the moment:

As we’ve mentioned a few times already, you can exchange thoughts with other punters on the ‘Hot Tips’ section of the app. If you’re not particularly familiar with a sport, you can benefit from someone else’s knowledge and expertise. The community can also add emojis to tips. This allows you to separate the wheat from the chaff.

If you’re feeling lucky, you can take advantage of the auto acca feature. All you need to do is select the number of markets you want and the app will randomly generate an accumulator. If you reckon it has a good chance of winning, you can add it to your bet slip. Alternatively, you can make a few alterations. The power is in your hands.

The big selling point of this platform is that it claims to be the world’s first ‘True Price’ sportsbook. What this means is that instead of operating like a traditional bookmaker and adding its own margin onto the markets, the ‘true price’ is taken from the latest odds on the Smarkets betting exchange, which have a considerably lower margin as it’s peer-to-peer betting. This is an interesting concept and it makes the SBK app a very appealing proposition.

Deposits and withdrawals can be made via:

The minimum deposit amount varies depending on your preferred payment option. If you’re using a debit card, for instance, you can fund your account with just £/€ 10 at a time. However, if you’re sending cash via Trustly, the minimum payment required shoots up to £/€ 40.

For a full rundown of the details, press the ‘Funds’ button at the bottom of your screen. Once you’ve acknowledged the terms and conditions, you can make a payment by following the on-screen instructions.
