Each-Way AtlasCompare UK bookmakers' each-way terms
Which UK bookmakers offer the best each way terms on horse racing?
On 7 November 2026 no bookmaker has been placed in a tier on this page, because the register and terms checks are not complete. A bookmaker reaches Tier A only with an Active Gambling Commission licence and four documented features. Tiers describe documented features, not the price on any single race.

What criteria decide the tiers?
We judge only what a bookmaker publishes, and only for UK horse racing. A bookmaker must first hold an Active licence for betting on the Gambling Commission register. Then we look for four documented features, each answered yes or no.
- K1: standard places and fractions for racing are published.
- K2: the rules for Rule 4, dead heat and non-runners are published.
- K3: a permanent option to change the places is published, with its conditions. This is a standing feature, not an offer of the day.
- K4: Best Odds Guaranteed on racing is published.
The short version: four yes-or-no criteria, and a bookmaker must first be Active on the register.
What do Tier A, B and C mean?
The tiers follow from the criteria. Within a tier, bookmakers are listed in alphabetical order, and no numerical score is used.
| Tier | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Tier A | K1, K2, K3 and K4 are all documented |
| Tier B | K1 and K2 are documented, plus one of K3 or K4 |
| Tier C | K1 or K2 is documented |
Extra-place offers change daily, so they are not part of a tier. They appear in a separate column with the date they were read, and the full list sits on extra-place offers at UK bookmakers.
Payment does not set the order: it is the tier first, then the alphabet.
The short version: tiers come from the four criteria, and the order inside a tier is alphabetical.
What does the dated table show?
The table holds the bookmakers whose profiles are published first. Every cell is Not verified on 7 November 2026, because we have not yet read the register entries or the bookmakers' terms.
| Bookmaker (candidate) | Licence checked | K1 standard terms | K2 Rule 4, dead heat | K3 place option | K4 BOG | Tier | Extra places on the date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| bet365 | Not verified | Not verified | Not verified | Not verified | Not verified | Not assigned | Not verified |
| Paddy Power | Not verified | Not verified | Not verified | Not verified | Not verified | Not assigned | Not verified |
| Sky Bet | Not verified | Not verified | Not verified | Not verified | Not verified | Not assigned | Not verified |
| William Hill | Not verified | Not verified | Not verified | Not verified | Not verified | Not assigned | Not verified |
| Betfred | Not verified | Not verified | Not verified | Not verified | Not verified | Not assigned | Not verified |
The first profile, for bet365, shows how each cell will be sourced. A tier is only shown once at least five bookmakers have been checked.
The short version: no tier is assigned yet, and the table says so in every cell.
How do we read a bookmaker's terms?
We read the bookmaker's own pages, not a summary written by someone else. For each criterion we record the exact wording, the address of the page and the date we read it, so a reader can open the same page and check.
Terms are given a shelf life of seven days. A row older than that is shown as Data out of date, or removed, until it has been read again.
Licence records have a shelf life of 30 days and are read again on the day a page is published. The register is the Gambling Commission's public register of businesses, and we read the status, the activity and the dates.
The short version: every cell will carry a source and a date, and a stale cell is flagged or removed.
What do the tiers not say?
A tier says which documented features a bookmaker publishes. It does not say that the bookmaker pays the most places, or the best price, on any race you choose.
It also says nothing about how a bookmaker settles a particular bet, how fast it pays out, or how it treats customers. Those are outside this page. The word best in the question is answered only through the criteria and the date above.
We do not give selections on any race, and no tier is a recommendation to place a bet.
The short version: a tier is a record of published features on a date, not a verdict on any race.
Who did we leave out, and why?
Ladbrokes, Coral, Betfair Sportsbook, BoyleSports, Unibet UK and Betano UK are on our candidate list. They are not in the table because their profiles are not yet published, and a bookmaker without a published profile does not enter a tier.
This is a matter of order of work, not a judgement. Each will be added once its register entry and terms have been read and dated. Names on the list are candidates, and the licence of each remains to be confirmed.
The short version: six candidates wait for profiles, and leaving them out says nothing about their terms.
How do you compare on your own race?
A tier cannot tell you the best price for one race on one day. Three figures decide that: the number of places, the place fraction and the win price.
Put them side by side for the race you are looking at, as set out in how to compare each-way terms across bookmakers. The sums are in how to work out each-way returns. See also Best Odds Guaranteed on racing.
The short version: compare places, fraction and win price on your own race, at the same moment.
What changed?
7 November 2026: page created with the criteria and tier definitions. No bookmaker has been tiered. The table will be updated weekly because terms are read with a seven-day shelf life, and licence records are re-read on the day of publication.

The short version: the criteria are published first so that every later tier can be checked against them.
