The odds at Fitzdares are pretty much the same level from sport to sport and league to league. The average payout percentage is around 93%, and Fitzdare's odds are generally very competitive.The biggest sports, such as football and horse racing, offer tremendous odds, while the payout is slightly lower in some minor markets. 

The brand does not make the scene about their odds. However, the odds offered by Fitzdares are above the industry average. I feel that I have to look pretty hard to find a bookmaker with better odds. 

Despite being a prominent place for horse race betting in the UK, there's plenty more to be found from the betting markets at Fitzdares. With almost 30 different sports to choose from and all British favourites available, there's never a dull moment when betting at Fitzdares.

Players can find a simple menu for all sports available for betting. Marks are in alphabetical order, which helps you to find your favourite sport quickly. You can find all the popular American sports such as NFL, Baseball, NBA basketball, NHL hockey and English football, Tennis, Horse Racing, Darts, Cricket, Golf, and many others!

Each match has dozens of bet options, especially in competitions from the most significant leagues and sports. I was rather impressed by the depth of the markets on offer, which in most cases, I found compared somewhat favourably to most High Street bookmakers.

Fitzdares prides itself as the quintessential racing bookmaker and won the 2020 Racing Bookmaker of the year. You will find extensive coverage of every UK & Ireland race and Australia, France, and the United States. 

And best of all, you can watch all the best horse races live on a live stream or visit the Fitzdares Club and enjoy the excitement with other bettors.  

Take note: Remember to take benefit of Fitzdares Best Odds Guaranteed. BOG is applied to bets placed after 9 am on the race day.

Like all the finest bookmakers online, Fitzdares lets you enjoy a potentially lucrative cashout function. This means that almost whenever you place a bet on the site, you have a chance of sealing a win from it before it's settled.

Fitzdares offers their cashout feature on both single and multiple bets in their sportsbook (both pre-match and in-play bets), and the more likely your bet is to win, the more considerable the cashout amount available will be. Cash-out odds are, however, always slightly smaller than if your bet was to hit normally, so be sure to be confident in your decision!

Live betting on the Fitzdares platform offered a great variety compared to other bookmakers. You will find that some of the matches need to be covered, but these are the more obscure fixtures.

Generally, the odds on Fitzdares for live betting are on par with pre-match betting. Should your bet have a change in odds after you add it to your bet slip, they will offer you the option to accept or decline the new odds.

In summary, live betting was a relatively straightforward, pleasant experience. However, on a slightly negative note, there are no stats or live streams to help you make your bets besides at horse racing, where you can follow high-quality live stream broadcasts from the race courses.

Most of us use a mobile device to bet nowadays, so Fitzdares wants to bring their personal betting experience to smartphones and tablets via their app. The app has been available for download via the App Store and Google Play for all over 18-year-olds. The easiest way to download the app is to visit Fizdare's main page, click the Play or App Store icon and jump to downloading application.

For the most part, the app worked flawlessly, offering you nearly an identical experience to the website. The layout is uncomplicated, and you will get the hang of it almost immediately, primarily if you have used their website.

There is little available when depositing and making withdrawals at Fitzdares. Still, the most traditional methods, Visa, Mastercard and Maestro cards, are accepted for money transfers going both ways. Apple Pay is also available, but for deposits only.

The minimum deposit and withdrawal you can make at the bookmaker are nice and low, only £10. The maximum deposit is capped at £40,000.

Withdrawal times are fastest using Visa cards, with which you can enjoy your winnings within 24 hours, while with other methods, you need to wait a couple of days.

It is important to note that withdrawal requests must be received by 5:30 pm to be processed on the same day. However, requests after 5:30 pm, on weekends and bank holidays, will be processed the next working day.

Fitzdares prides itself on its customer support and, in some ways, does not disappoint. You can contact customer support via "contact us" at the bottom of every page.

Live chat and email support are open at the bookmaker from Monday to Saturday from 9 am to 9 pm, while on Sundays, help can be received from 10 am to 9 pm. You can also call or send text messages to the bookie, and the helpful support team will stay longer whenever a major sporting event occurs.

At the time of the testing, the live chat had some problems, and I could not contact customer service. I gave up and tested the email - I received a reply in four minutes! Compared to other bookmakers, this was lightning fast, as I had waited hours, sometimes days, for an answer.

Fitzdares is among the most responsible bookmakers, as only players over 18 are accepted to the site. This means that you need to have a way of proving your age, which can be done with a national ID card, passport or driving license. You must also verify your address with a copy of an official government letter, recent utility bill or bank statement with your address and name visible.

Remember, before you are allowed to make a bet, you need to verify your age by uploading your KYC documentation. The required documents need to be uploaded via the website, and once uploaded, it took a mere hour to be verified in a test case. 

Being an old-school bookie doesn't mean modern safety and responsibility requirements aren't met at Fitzdares, which is why the site operates under a UK Gambling Commission license. If you feel like you or someone you know is suffering from a gambling problem, follow the links available at Fitzdares and seek help.

The bookie offers some options to help combat problematic gambling behaviour, like deposit limits that can be set to 24 hours, a week or a month. For more severe problems, full self-exclusion is also available.
