Football

We’re getting our results by taking into account the odds for final result outcomes measured in line with the total goals scored for different football leagues. By getting the average results using this method, we were able to obtain the margins for each league and also the overall betting margin for the bookmaker.

Sportnation has an overall margin of 5.00% for football and falls in the good value category. In the first section using odds from the Premier League, the margin is at 3.57%. The second section with Spanish La Liga and Italian Serie A, the margin is at 5.24%. Finally, by counting the English Football League One, Austrian Bundesliga and Polish Ekstraklasa into account, the margin is at 6.20%.

SportNation has seen a remarkable growth over the past few years and the main reason for this has been their variety of betting sports and bonuses they have to offer. The most popular sports are clearly displayed on the left-hand side of the home page, giving the customers the ability to access their favourite sports with just one click. This bookmaker has a great selection of sports betting markets, allowing its users to wager on popular sports such as football, tennis, horse racing, cricket, and also on more obscure ones like Aussie Rules, Bandy or Badminton.

Football betting

The football section is definitely the main point of discussion at SportNation, as this bookie covers a huge variety of football competitions including the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Champions League, Europa League, etc. In addition, a decent range of less popular leagues is available and here we can mention the likes of Bulgarian First League, the Croatian 1.HNL or the Mali Premier Division.

The number of betting markets available will differ from league to league, which at the end of the day it’s something more than normal. A game in the English Premier League will have more than 150 markets to choose from, while a match from an obscure league will offer under 100 markets.

Furthermore, SportNation have implemented competitive odds on several sports to ensure that their clients will find value across a vast range of betting markets. In addition, the SportNations customers will benefit from loads of enhanced odds bets on a daily basis.

Horse racing

The horse racing section can be easily accessed from the left-hand side of the homepage by clicking on the “Today’s Racing” button. Horse racing is clearly a favourite on the SportNation website as it includes a fantastic variety of both domestic and international race meetings.

There is a wide selection of races from the UK and Ireland available every day, which is definitely a must for any respectable bookmaker that focuses on the UK market. 

Each race card contains useful information about the horse’s recent form, who the jockey is and recent changes about the odds.

Furthermore, SportNation offers best odds guaranteed on selected races so you need to check out regularly on the promotions page to see what events qualify for it. In addition, SportNation customers are able to wager on singles, doubles, forecast and tricast, but also to create lucky 15’s and lucky 31’s.

Betting limits: The maximum winning limit at SportNation is high as it can go up to ₤500,000 in football and ₤250,000 in horse racing.

The minimum deposit is ₤10 and the maximum deposit per one transaction is ₤20,000. Meanwhile, the minimum withdrawal amount is set at ₤20 for debit cards.

As expected, SportNation has a first class in-play betting section with all the categories being listed at the top of the In-play page. The sports are ordered by popularity, which means that football comes first and then it’s followed by tennis, cricket, baseball, basketball and so on.

The odds are updated in a fast-paced manner and the tiny statistics icon will display a new tab with some useful info about the team’s current form, past results, league standings and H2H records.

In terms of live streaming, SportNation does well to cover most of the UK and Irish horse races, but they don’t have too many live streams when it comes to football, tennis or other popular sports.

There is also a Live Schedule button that will allow the customers to check what events will be available for live betting over the coming hours or even days.
