Fitzdares was founded in 2005 by Balthazar Fabricius with the aim to put old-fashioned customer service back into the increasingly impersonal bookmaking industry. It started with private telephone betting and not long after it became the first bookmaker to introduce text betting. In 2016 they acquired Sunderlands a betting company with over 100 years of history. Their online sportsbook was launched in 2018. Fitzdares also has an exclusive, members-only gaming club in Mayfair.
Registering at Fitzdares
Now you have deposited it’s time to place your first bet. If you are going for the welcome offer you will be looking for a bet at least evens (2.0) or greater. Odds are displayed in fractions, but you can always change them to decimals if you prefer them. To do this from the home page on the left-hand side scroll the menu bar to the bottom and you will find the “odds” options.
Fitzdares like a lot of others has a long list of sports to bet. The main menu is on the home page. There is a search bar at the top of the home page so if you know the exact event you wish to bet on search for it here. (A). There is then a “Popular” list of sports below the search bar (B) and then a full A-Z list of all the sports they offer odds to bet on (C). All sports qualify for the welcome offer.
If you have been lucky enough to win, you will be able to make a withdrawal. Your deposit method will be your only withdrawal option at this time. Other withdrawal options will become available once you have withdrawn an amount equal to your deposit. If you have made multiple deposits using various deposit options, the same rules will apply.
For example: You have deposited £20 via Visa card and £10 via Mastercard. Let’s say you now have a balance of £50. Your preferred method of withdrawal is to your Mastercard but before you can withdraw more than £10 back to your Mastercard, you need to first withdraw £20 back to your Visa card. Once this is done you can withdraw £30 or more back to your Mastercard. To withdraw from your account follow these steps.
Gambling is something that should be enjoyed responsibly and safely at all times. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced gambler playing online can become a problem. It’s important to have a great experience and enjoy the entertainment of gambling and if at any point it stops being fun seek help.
Fitzdares like a lot of other bookmakers has a range of “Safer Gambling” tools available. There are numerous links to these tools, At the bottom of the main menu (A), at the bottom of the home page (B), and finally on the betting slip (C). Click any one of these to take you to the Safer Gambling tools.
Any one of the links will bring up the Safer Gambling page.
Here you will find the various features available on Fitzdares.
The first is to self-assess your gambling. It recommends using GamCare’s self-assessment tool, which is free to use and is a test designed to pick up any early signs of risky gambling behavior.
Deposit Limits are a common feature on most sites, You can set daily, weekly, and monthly Deposit Limits This will certainly help you stay in control of the amount of funds you’re transferring into your betting account and help you keep within your budget.
Reality Checks can help you manage how much time you spend playing. The check will generate a pop-up notifying you that you have hit your desired time limit. You’ll need to accept to continue playing. An automatic Reality Check of 60 minutes is set as default and that is the maximum that is allowed. If you feel a quicker alert reminder would be more beneficial you can reduce it via the Reality Checks page.
You can decrease the time at any time and this will be applied to your account immediately.
Timeout is another option. You can take a 1 week, 1 month or 6 week break. During this time you will not be allowed to access your account. You also won’t receive any marketing material during this break.
Self Exclusion is similar to a Timeout but much longer breaks apply 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years. Once the chosen time has expired you will need to get your account reactivated.
We highly recommend you consider using the tools described above, you should bet safely and securely and take advantage of the help tools available to you.

Fitzdares has a wide range of sports to bet on In-Play. To get to the In-Play screen simply click on the In-Play button on the home page (A). This will bring up the In-Play screen and show you the events that are happening at the time (B).
A very helpful feature at Fitzdares which not all bookmakers have is the option to see all events that will be In-Play over the next day. You can see anything from 3-24 hours ahead. We have clicked to see all available over the next 24 hours (A). Which as you can see brought up a lot more sports and markets.
At Fitzdares the main focus is Horse racing with live streaming of races from the UK, France, the US, Australia, and more. Greyhound racing is the only other sport available to live streaming.
In conclusion, live betting at Fitzdares is a very positive experience if your sport of choice is Horse Racing with high-quality streams available. They offer a wider range of sports to bet on than a lot of their competitors. If live streaming is what you need to enhance your live betting experience there is none unless you are betting on Horse or greyhound racing.
The Fitzdares app doesn’t stray too far away from the look and feel of its website so users should find it easy to switch between the two. It is easy to navigate and you can use the same login details as the website. All promotions can also be found on the app. Live streaming is also available on Horse and greyhound racing
We found the Fitzdares app to be just as user-friendly as the desktop site. They share the same brand aesthetics and features and there is very little difference as the app has virtually the same layout as the desktop site. This means you should be able to swap between the two if needed with no problems. Promotions are just as easy to find on both the app and desktop site there isn’t a lot of difference between them so which you choose to use will be down to user preference.

In conclusion, Fitzdares is a mediocre sportsbook. Their focus is clearly on Horse racing with more races than most and higher quality live streaming than most. Yet there is no live streaming for other sports except Greyhound racing. Strangely despite a focus on Horse racing a “best odds guaranteed” offer is not available to all customers
Their live betting range is better than average yet their number of pre-game markets is below the standard. The customer service overall really depends on your contact preference they boast 24/7 telephone support and have live chat as a contact option. The email response was very quick. Their website and app are both user-friendly although there is room for improvement. Their welcome offer is not the best and although they have lots of reload offers none are of any real value. Deposit options are extremely limited with them only accepting debit cards.
