Free Bets on Totepool

The tote was founded in 1928 and introduced tote pool betting to major race meetings in July 1929. The tote continued to provide pool betting on British racecourses as an alternative to SP betting and traditional on-course bookmakers and following changes in gambling legislation in 1961, opened two shops to accept tote pool transactions off-course.

In 1972 the tote was allowed to accept bets on all sports and it was able to start competing with the major off-course bookmakers on the high street. In 1992 the tote launched on the internet with its totebetXpress website and in 2005 was rebranded totesport to coincide with the launch of its online casino.

Betfred acquired Totesport in 2011 and rebranded the website Totepool as part of the process of merging the two companies.

Website

Totepool’s website is somewhat removed from the conventional layout shared by many online bookmakers, however it remains easy to navigate while bringing its own distinctive flavour.

Horse Racing, Football and Golf are immediately accessible from the left sidebar but to locate other sports you are required to use a drop down menu. The main body of the home page features; live betting, the next three horses races and upcoming sports events. This layout allows for the use of larger buttons advertising the odds of each selection and clear graphics to help identify each sport.

Registration is quick and uncomplicated. We liked the bet slip which can be expanded and collapsed as we browse and provides access for registration and to account information.

The range of live betting markets has become more extensive lately and the staple of UK sports such as English football, cricket, golf, tennis and both rugby codes has been supplemented with Ice Hockey, Basketball and Baseball to make a wider global appeal.

Totepool does not offer the opportunity to watch selections with live video streams which puts it a little behind the leading online betting websites and a number of a number of independent operators. However, there is audio commentary for horse racing, football and greyhound racing.

Odds can be displayed in fractional or decimal format and the website can only be viewed in English. Totepool has a mobile application to provide access to the site when out and about, with customers having the ability to bet into tote pools via their mobile.
