Cricket Odds in the United Kingdom
For cricket odds in the United Kingdom, the sharpest average margins in our sampled data come from Betfair (roughly 4.6%), Ladbrokes (5.9%) and Coral (5.7%) — meaning more of the true price is passed back to you on match markets. Every operator listed here holds a UK Gambling Commission licence, takes debit card and typically PayPal, and processes withdrawals within 0–24 hours. Below you'll find the next Test fixtures, a plain comparison of who prices cricket keenly, and which bookmaker fits how you like to bet.

Which bookmakers price cricket keenly
Margin is the clearest signal of value on cricket markets, and our sampled odds data separates the field.
- Betfair: lowest sampled average margin at about 4.6%, and it topped best-price share in 49% of sampled markets — the strongest raw pricing here. Odds rating 8.9.
- Ladbrokes: about 5.9% average margin with a 20% best-price share. Odds rating 7.6.
- Coral: about 5.7% margin and the highest best-price share in our sample at 27%. Odds rating 7.5.
- Unibet: about 5.9% margin, odds rating 7.8.
- bet365: strongest overall market coverage (9.6) and sports depth (9.5) with an odds rating of 8.8, though its sampled margin (~7.4%) sits higher than the value leaders.
Best-price share tells you how often a book led on a given market in the sample; margin tells you the typical built-in cut. A high best-price share with a low margin — as with Betfair and Coral — is the combination worth line-shopping for on individual cricket bets.

Best fit by how you bet
Choose bet365 if you want the widest cricket coverage and depth of markets, live streaming and a Bet Builder, plus a top-rated app (9.3). Its margins aren't the tightest, so line-shop your headline bets elsewhere.
Choose Betfair if price matters most. It has the lowest sampled margin and most frequent best price, plus live streaming and fast payout. Note it isn't listed here with a Bet Builder, so combine selections yourself.
Choose Coral or Ladbrokes for consistently keen match-winner pricing with Bet Builder, Cash Out and Live Streaming across both.
Choose Sky Bet or BetMGM if in-play combinations are your thing — Sky Bet rates 8.4 on Bet Builder and BetMGM 8.5, with BetMGM also offering Same Game Parlay and strong market coverage (8.7).
Avoid the smaller-sample books (10bet, LiveScore Bet, Virgin Bet) for headline value: LiveScore Bet and Virgin Bet posted the highest sampled margins (~8.5% and ~8.3%). They can still suit you if you prefer their app or already hold an account.
Live betting, cash out and streaming
Test cricket rewards in-play tools because prices swing session by session. bet365 rates highest for live capability (9.4) and offers Live Streaming, so you can follow and bet on the same screen. Betfair (8.7 live), Unibet (8.4) and BetMGM (8.5) also score well for in-play.
Cash Out is available at every operator here, letting you settle a Test bet early — useful across a five-day match when conditions change. Live Streaming is offered by bet365, Paddy Power, William Hill, Ladbrokes, Coral, Betfair, Sky Bet (as mobile betting), Unibet, LiveScore Bet and BetMGM among this list; check the individual event, as streaming rights vary by series.
Payments, withdrawals and safety
Every bookmaker on this page is licensed by the UK Gambling Commission and set to an 18+ minimum age. bet365's UKGC licence number is 39563; the others are UKGC-licensed per the register.
All listed operators take Debit Card with a £10 minimum deposit and quote withdrawal times of 0–24 hours. PayPal is widely supported (bet365, Betway, Paddy Power, BoyleSports, William Hill, Ladbrokes, Coral, Sky Bet, Betfair, BetVictor, Betfred, Unibet, 888sport, LiveScore Bet, 10bet, BetMGM). Apple Pay is common too, while Trustly appears at bet365, Betfair and Unibet.
Paddy Power and Betfair carry a Fast Payout tag, which can matter if you cash out mid-series and want funds back quickly. For licence checks, the UKGC public register is the source of record — verify any operator before depositing.
