William Hill are one of the Big three UK bookmakers and have everything you'd expect from them. They also have a Casino, Games, Poker, Bingo and Vegas sections which run from the same account. The customer support is competent and the odds given for EP horse races are good. Along with the good odds there are regular enhancements, free bets and risk free casino offers that offer a great chance of making some money. Withdrawals and deposits are always free and received within 3 working days (although annoyingly they don't process the withdrawals until 11pm each day).

Paddypower is one of the best sportsbooks you will find online. Though their advertising may be controversial at times, there's no denying the quality of their site. They have excellent customer support with a dedicated help centre, free phone number and 24hr E-mail support. Plus if you need to call them you get to speak to a nice Irish person. They have very frequent cash back promotions (note that's cashback, not bonuses which most sites trade in) which are well worth taking part in as well as Horse Racing Best Odds Guaranteed. Withdrawals are quick, free and received the same day, or within minutes to Skrill.

Ladbrokes is one of the largest and one of the best bookmakers in the UK, although they may have lost some ground to their big rivals by being slow to develop the mobile and casino platforms customers want. That said, they have a huge range of markets available on every possible Sport. They take large bets, and have very generous odds on most Horseraces. Payments back to Skrill are near instant and all other methods are fast and free with no maximum limits. They have a freephone number for support, or emails are answered quickly and efficiently if you'd rather.

Coral have fast payouts and are a UK household name so you can be sure that your money is safe. They have decent odds on football matches and take very large wagers on the Major leagues. Horse racing can also be very lucrative but they are likely to limit accounts if believed to be "arbing" this. Payouts are always swift and free, sometimes within hours. Customer Support is available over the phone or via a very efficient internal messaging system, with answers received within a few hours.

Due to betting regulations in the US Pinnacle Sports can't take players from there anymore, but they were for many years the number one US bookmaker. The US's loss is the rest of the worlds gain. They always have the tightest lines (basically the best odds) and won't flinch at large bets. They have first rate 24/7 customer service reachable by email only, but they are swift in response. You are allowed one free withdrawal a month, beyond that there is a nominal charge, and once requested they are paid within the hour. There's no sign up bonus, this is the place for the best odds not the best bonuses.
32Redbet are owned (not suprisingly) by the 32Red Plc Group who have long been the number one Casino operator on the Internet. They are a Britsh company but incorporated and based in Gibralter. There is an instant chat, phone, skype, post and email customer support who are swift in response, if a tad bureaucratic! Odds are taken and seem to mirror those of Betdaq so are never quite as good as those on the exchange. Deposits and Withdrawals are swift and free but using the "Cashier" as the main wallet between accounts can be confusing. They have occasional enhanced odds offers and promotions and very very occasionally "freebet" offers too.
StanJames offer an excellent Sportsbook for both casual and experienced UK customers. They have 24/7 freephone and E-mail support, with the addition of live chat support once you have logged in. They have a huge range of markets and offer very competitive odds. They run regular promotions on the website for active players, with cash prizes for correct "Spot the Ball" answers, etc etc.
