Horse Racing Betting FAQ
What is the minimum stake for a horse racing bet?
You can get involved from as little as €1 on most bets. Some exotic bets like forecasts or tricasts might have a slightly higher minimum, but we keep it accessible so everyone can enjoy the thrill of the race.
What's the difference between a Win and an Each-Way bet?
A Win bet is straightforward – your horse must finish first. An Each-Way bet is essentially two bets in one: a bet to win and a bet to 'place' (usually finish in the top 2, 3, or 4, depending on the race). If your horse wins, you collect on both parts. If it only places, you still get a return on the place part of your bet at a fraction of the win odds. It's a savvy punter's favourite for backing an outsider.
How do I place a bet on horse racing?
Find the race, click on the odds next to your selection, enter your stake in the betslip, and confirm. For Each-Way bets, just remember to tick the 'Each-Way' box in your slip before placing.
