Best UK Betting Sites for Darts 2026

Looking for somewhere to bet on the darts? Our community has put bet365 top of the list, followed by Paddy Power, Sky Bet, Betfair and William Hill.

The votes give you a starting point. From there, it's worth looking at what each bookmaker actually offers. bet365 has a darts Bet Builder, Paddy Power offers #WhatOddsPaddy specials, and Betfair lets you back or lay players on its Exchange.

Below, we've gone through the features that matter for darts, including the free bets you can actually use on the sport.

Our darts bookmaker ranking comes from ABC's community poll. The five bookmakers shown received a total of 2,330 votes, with bet365 taking 1,016 of them. That is just over 43% of the total.

The order comes from those votes. Our reviews explain the differences between the bookmakers, so you can see why one might suit the way you bet more than another.

We wouldn't choose purely on the welcome offer. A darts Bet Builder, a weekly reward you can use on the sport or the ability to lay a player can be more relevant than a larger bonus restricted to football.

Think about the bet you want to place first. If you mainly bet on 180s, compare those markets. If you want to watch along, look at streaming. And if you're claiming free bets, make sure the tokens cover darts.

bet365

First in ABC's darts poll: 1,016 votes (43.61%).

bet365 is the clear Andy's Bet Club community favourite. Its darts Bet Builder is one of the features that makes it worth a look, especially if you like combining different angles from the same match.

Its published darts picks show combinations of total legs, total 180s, highest checkout and bull finishes. For example, you could combine over a set number of legs with over a set number of 180s, rather than having to pick the match winner. The available selections depend on the fixture.

It also offers live streaming on selected PDC events. To access an available stream, you need to be logged in with a funded Sports account or have placed a bet within the previous 24 hours. Look for the play button next to the match. Read the bet365 sign-up offer and terms.

Paddy Power

Second in ABC's darts poll: 803 votes (34.46%).

Paddy Power is worth a look if you enjoy darts specials. Its #WhatOddsPaddy section includes session bets, such as a nine-dart finish during a particular evening's play, rather than only markets on individual matches.

It is also the title sponsor of the PDC World Darts Championship. That gives it a clear connection to the sport, although sponsorship alone doesn't tell you who has the best price.

For existing customers, Paddy's Rewards Club has a genuine darts use. Its sports reward can be used on sports markets and lasts seven days. The standard qualifying requirement in its published terms is five cash bets of at least £5 at evens or greater across the week, although your account's reward and requirements can vary.

The main limitation: Boosts and cashed-out bets don't qualify for the Club. If you mainly place boosted darts bets, those stakes won't help you qualify. Don't increase your normal betting just to reach the target. Read the Paddy Power sign-up offer and terms.

Sky Bet

Third in ABC's darts poll: 305 votes (13.09%).

Sky Bet is worth a look for its combined darts markets. Its match trebles combine a player to win, hit the most 180s and record the highest checkout. It also has match doubles combining two of those outcomes.

That suits a specific view of the match: you think one player will win and lead the scoring or finishing too. All the parts need to land, and Sky Bet's rules say a tie for most 180s or highest checkout loses the relevant match-double or treble selection.

If the selection you want isn't listed, Sky Bet lets you request a price through @SkyBetHelp or customer support. A request doesn't guarantee that the bookmaker will offer it. Read the Sky Bet sign-up offer and restrictions.

Betfair

Fourth in ABC's darts poll: 117 votes (5.02%).

Betfair’s Sportsbook is the place to start if you want to use its welcome offer on darts. The Betfair sign-up offer gives you five £10 tokens after a qualifying £10 bet at evens or greater.

Those tokens can be used on eligible Bet Builders, accumulators or multiples across any sport, including darts. If you like combining selections from a night’s matches, that makes the offer worth considering.

The main limitation: You can’t use the tokens on ordinary singles. If you only want to back one player to win their match, this offer won’t suit that bet.

Betfair also has a darts Exchange, where you can back or lay players against other customers. It’s another place to compare prices, allowing for commission on net winnings.

William Hill

Fifth in ABC's darts poll: 89 votes (3.82%).

William Hill has some useful darts markets if you like following the whole session. Its published rules cover most 180s on the night, the player with the highest checkout on the night and total 180s across the evening's matches.

It also covers more specific finishing bets, including the first 100+ checkout in a match. Under its rules, that bet is void if neither player produces a three-figure finish.

Those are different options from backing the match winner, and a reason to look at William Hill's darts coupon if your angle is scoring or finishing across the session. Market availability depends on the event.

The main limitation: You can no longer submit new #YourOdds requests. William Hill stopped accepting requests on 14 September 2026, although it continues to offer selected #YourOdds markets. You can choose from those listed, but you can't ask it to price your own combination.

The ranking tells you who our community picked. This comparison shows the features we'd look at for different types of darts betting.

How to Find the Best Darts Odds

There's no single bookmaker you can rely on to have the biggest price for every darts bet. However, when we post our tips, we show a bookmaker comparison where available so you can compare prices before placing the bet.

Use the bookmaker icon in the bottom-right corner of a tip to see the available options. If only one bookmaker appears, we're only showing a price from that bookmaker for that selection. It doesn't prove that no other betting site offers it.

For example, imagine bet365 offers 6/4 on a player to win and Sky Bet offers 7/4. A £10 cash bet would return £25 at 6/4 or £27.50 at 7/4 if it wins, including your original stake. That's a £2.50 difference on exactly the same result. Those are illustrative prices, not live odds.

The detail matters with darts. A +2.5-leg handicap isn't the same bet as +3.5 legs. Most 180s in one match isn't the same as most 180s across the night. And a match treble needs more outcomes to land than a match-winner single.

Watching Live Darts on Betting Sites

Yes, you can watch selected darts events through bet365. It offers streams for a range of PDC events, with access dependent on your location and the event's rights.

To open an available stream:

1. Log in to bet365.

2. Open the darts event and select the play button.

3. Have a funded Sports account or have placed a bet within the previous 24 hours.

You don't have to place an extra bet on each darts match to meet that published account requirement if your Sports account is already funded.

Sky Bet also offers a Watch & Bet service: its help page says you only need to be logged in for available streams. However, that general streaming service doesn't establish which darts tournaments it currently shows.

Don't assume that taking in-play bets means a bookmaker streams the same match. You can bet in-play while watching a separate TV broadcast, and the pictures can be behind the market. Sky Bet says its streams normally have a two-to-five-second delay, which can sometimes be longer.

Darts Tournaments We Cover

Our darts tips follow the World Darts Championship, Premier League Darts, World Matchplay, World Grand Prix and Grand Slam of Darts. We also cover events including the UK Open, World Cup, World Masters and Players Championship Finals.

You can find outright previews, match picks, doubles and 180s selections, depending on the tournament and markets we're covering. Each tip explains the thinking behind the bet, with bookmaker prices shown where available. Follow our analyst Ramis Ibrahim for his latest selections and analysis.

Can you bet on 180s?

Yes. bet365's darts Bet Builder includes 180s selections on selected matches, while Sky Bet covers most 180s and total 180s markets. William Hill also lists rules for most 180s across a whole night's play. The exact options depend on the event.

Which darts bookmaker is best for beginners?

bet365 is a reasonable starting point because it leads ABC's darts poll and offers match betting alongside its more detailed markets. If you're new to darts betting, a match-winner single is easier to understand than a combined bet that needs several outcomes to land. Either can lose.

Which betting site is best for the World Darts Championship?

Our community's top darts bookmaker is bet365. Paddy Power is another option to compare for the Worlds: it sponsors the tournament and offers darts session specials. We'd compare the price for your chosen bet before picking between them; our poll isn't a separate World Championship ranking.

Can I watch live darts on betting sites?

Yes. bet365 streams selected PDC events. You need to log in with a funded Sports account or have placed a bet within the previous 24 hours, and the event must be available to stream in your location.

Are these darts betting sites legal in the UK?

Yes. The five brands listed here operate sports betting services licensed by the Gambling Commission for customers in Great Britain. You must be 18 or over to bet. Their licences cover the operators behind the brands, rather than a separate licence for darts.

Do all five darts betting sites have mobile apps?

Yes. bet365, Paddy Power, Sky Bet, Betfair and William Hill offer sports betting apps for iOS and Android. Betfair has Sportsbook and Exchange apps, so choose the product you want to use. You don't need a separate darts-only app.

Can I use Sky Bet's £40 free bets on darts?

No. The offer terms currently displayed on ABC restrict its three £10 BuildABet tokens and one £10 accumulator token to football. Don't choose that welcome offer expecting to use those tokens on darts.

18+. Please gamble responsibly.
