Grand National Bookies

When choosing a bookie for your grand national bets there are important factors to consider

• Does the bookmaker actually offer horse racing odds? Not all online bookies do!
• Are they a reputable and trustworthy bookmaker?
• Is the process of placing a bet on the national easy? If you don't bet online regularly, this is crucial.
• Does the bookmaker offer good odds? Especially on the selection/s you are interested in
• Does the bookmaker offer good terms? For example the number of places paid out on each way bets varies by bookie
• Is the registration and deposit process easy?
• Are there high limits to the minimum deposit and bet amounts? You may not want to place a large bet on the grand national! 
• Is it worth having an account with this bookmaker long term? Even if you dont bet regularly, you may be interested in big events such as the European Football Championships coming up

At Grand National Guide, we have done the homework for you. We have over 20 years experience in understanding online bookmakers. All bookies recommended here will offer grand national betting, are trustworthy UK licensed bookmakers with good reputations, offer good offers and each way terms and easy registration and bet placement processes. 

If it is too complicated to open an account and place a bet then we won't list that bookmaker for Grand National punters. 

So whilst all bookies listed here are suitable for grand national betting, some are better than others! Look at our summaries on this page and the specific ratings we have given. The higher the rating, the better bookie we think they are for the purposes of grand national betting. 

Many people who open accounts for their grand national bets aren't that bothered by either! Often they just want a reputable bookmaker with a quick and easy process so they can get their bets on and enjoy the race. 

But do consider the odds as these vary from bookie to bookie. Even if you are betting £5 then a difference between 12/1 and 16/1 will cost you £20 in winnings. 

Free bet offers can often be a great pull to open an account but you need to weigh up other pros and cons of a bookie. If a bookie offers a £10 free bet but the odds on your selection is a lot lower, is that worth it? 

The each way terms are also important. 16/1 may be available with a bookie that only pays out on four places. If 14/1 is available with a bookie which pays out on the first 6 places, you may prefer the option of a higher chance of getting a return versus the possibility of a slightly bigger win. 

The minimum deposit with most online bookies is only £5 or £10 which is normally ok for most people betting on the grand national. Look at the list of bookies above and we have highlighted some where it is just £5.

The normal deposit methods for online betting are bank card or online payment providers like Paypal, Neteller or Skrill. 

Bookmakers are no longer allowed to accept credit cards as deposit methods.
