Had an account for 3 weeks so far

Had an account for 3 weeks so far. Getting used to the layout etc and cant fault it so far. Withdrawals pretty quick to debit card within minutes, settling fast, everything works. Even had an issue with a bet that they settled positively as a gesture of goodwill and was a nice surprise.Support are not 24x7 but then doesn't need to be does it? Prompt response the following day. The KYC side will take place soon, but thats all bookies now in UK. I just bet on horses, football and a little roullette. To be honest, never heard of them before but really glad I found them and so far they seem pretty straight and uncomplicated. Thanks very much gang.

Poor odds rubbish casino returns


I've been using Ken Howells for around a month now and overall I'm pretty disappointed. Here's my honest breakdown:

**Sports Betting & Odds**
The odds across the board are poor, particularly in-play where they are well below what you'd find at the major bookmakers. I compared them regularly and the only area where they hold up competitively is horse racing — but let's be honest, that's the same with pretty much every bookmaker these days. Football odds are by far the worst I've seen, I'd strongly recommend shopping around elsewhere if football is your main betting market.

**Casino**
This is where it gets really bad. In over 1,000 spins across a month of use, I can count my wins on one hand — I think I won twice. The return rate on the casino games is the worst I have ever come across. Avoid if you're a slots player.

**Promotions**
The promotions look appealing on the surface but don't be fooled. They are few and far between, and when you dig into the small print the terms and conditions are so restrictive that they are almost worthless in practice.

**Summary**
There are far better bookmakers out there offering better odds, fairer casino returns and more genuine promotions.
