Paddy Power is strong on racing and in-play betting, but it was part of a £2 million settlement in December 2025 and its UK help pages are closed to visitors from abroad. These licensed bookmakers have cleaner records or publish more.

Ladbrokes
Its app listing promises Best Odds Guaranteed on every UK and Irish horse race. We couldn't read its help pages from outside the UK, so it isn't ranked.

Run by the same licensee as Ladbrokes, Coral's app listing also offers Best Odds Guaranteed on all UK and Irish racing.

Stick with Paddy Power if you bet on racing and like to cash out part of a bet: its Best Odds Guaranteed was the most open offer in our top five, if its 2025 terms still apply.
