Bluefox Betting Line and Features

This operator provides several features, including a wide betting line, live streaming and functions like Cash Out. Let’s take a closer look at each of these in detail.

Sports and Markets

The site may lean toward casino games, but its sportsbook is surprisingly extensive. It covers over 40 sports, from mainstream disciplines like football to niche options like sumo and bandy. You can also wager on TV shows and Esports, although only four cyber disciplines are available, including popular titles like CS2 and League of Legends.

Here’s what the platform has to offer for the major competitions:

• Football: With over 100 tournaments across 80 countries, the operator covers eight competitions in England, including the Premier League and the Championship. Major events have more than 1,800 results, featuring combos, player specials, and more.
• Horse Racing: Bluefox offers horse racing meetings from 16 countries, including the UK, Ireland, Italy, and Chile. The race cards provide in-depth information, including weather conditions, horses’ age, weight, and form. You can also place future bets on major competitions like the Cheltenham Festival.
• Greyhounds: Dog races, with numerous UK and Irish events, are available in the Racing section. Punters can access standard wagering options such as winner, trap winner, forecast, and tricast.

Streaming and Live Betting

The In-Play section offers an impressive lineup of events across various sports. Some games have more outcomes than in Pre-match. You can check the live calendar to see upcoming matches that are available for real-time wagering. However, the bookie doesn’t offer streams. A filter in the live section allows you to view only events with broadcasts, but we found no options, even during peak hours. Instead, the site provides detailed statistics and visual graphics, but mainly for football and tennis matches.

Navigating the Bluefox’s live betting section can be a bit tricky. Most of the screen is taken up by markets from random matches, while the list of fixtures is in a small menu on the left, which is very inconvenient. This layout makes it difficult for users to find their favourite games and events quickly.

Margin

Generally, the operator’s odds are average, with a margin of around 5-6% on top games. For less popular matches, the commission can be up to 7-8%, which is already relatively high.

We have also noticed that the margin on totals is often lower than on the 1×2 market, which means that the odds on over/under bets are higher. Let’s take a look at the commissions for the main competitions:

Sports	Tournament	Average 1×2 Margin	Average Total Margin
Football	English Premier League	5.93%	4.52%
Tennis	ATP Metz	5.42%	5.40%
Basketball	NBA	5.23%	4.76%

Additional Features

The bookie doesn’t offer a massive range of features. However, it does have standard features such as Cash Out and an option similar to Bet Builder. Let’s see what’s available:

• Cash Out: The operator provides a full-stake Cash Out function, allowing you to settle your wagers early to lock in winnings or reduce potential losses. Eligible markets are easily identified with a dollar icon ($).
• Quick Bet: This feature speeds up the betting process, letting you place wagers instantly by selecting your stake and clicking on your chosen outcome. It’s a handy tool for those who prefer rapid stakes but double-check your selections to avoid accidental placements.
• Combo Bet Creator: It works like the Bet Builder, combining different markets from a single football or basketball game into one wager. Look for the chain icon, which indicates compatible markets. Each icon shows a number representing a market group, and you can only mix options from different groups, with no maximum limit.

Deposits and Withdrawals

The bookmaker provides various transaction means, including bank cards, e-wallets, and even phone bill payments. Top-ups are free of charge, except for those made via PayviaPhone, which incur a 15% processing fee. 

Withdrawals come with a 1% processing fee, capped at £3 per transaction. The operator processes all cashout requests within 24 hours, with final transfer times depending on the selected method. Also note that for most methods, minimum withdrawal information is only available after a deposit has been made through this system. Further information on payment options is detailed below:

Payment Method	Deposit Limits	Min Withdrawal	Payout Time
Visa/Mastercard	£10 – 5000	£5	3-7 business days
PayPal	£10 – 5000	N/A	3-7 business days
PayviaPhone	£10 – 40	N/A	N/A
Instant Bank Payment	£10 – 5000	N/A	1 day
Paysafecard	£10 – 700	N/A	3 days
Skrill	£20 – 5000	N/A	up to 24 hours
NeoSurf	£15 – 5000	N/A	N/A
Neteller	£20 – 5000	N/A	up to 24 hours
Payz	£20 – 5000	£5	up to 3 business days
Apple Pay	£10 – 5000	N/A	3 days

Bluefox Customer Support

The platform features a convenient help centre filled with valuable information and solutions to common questions. Additionally, you can reach out to customer support through the following channels:

• Live Chat: available 24/7 through the Cashier/Account menus.
• Email: customersupport@instantgamesupport.com.

Overall, the bookmaker’s support service is efficient, providing quick assistance when needed. Upon starting a chat, a bot initially greets you with standard questions. However, if you select ‘my question is not answered’ and type your query, you’re promptly connected to a real person. When we tested this, an agent responded within seconds, and our issue was resolved in under a minute.

Bluefox Betting App

The application is available for both Android and iOS, accessible from Google Play and the App Store. Despite its “casino” label in the title, the programme fully supports sports betting, with the same functionality as the desktop version.

The mobile interface feels more intuitive than the website. The main page offers quick-access tabs for Pre-match and Live games, with all events displayed in a single list—starting with popular options like football and basketball. There are also dedicated tabs for trending games and major competitions, allowing you to find events with just a few taps. However, for fans of niche sports like kabaddi, finding your selection may take longer, as categories aren’t arranged alphabetically.

The navigation in the In-Play section is notably improved compared to the site. You can easily select a sport from a top menu and view all related events without the clutter of unrelated game markets.

Overall, the Bluefox app runs smoothly on both platforms. Though some pages may take a moment to load on the first launch, the application leaves a positive impression with its speed and ease of use.

Security and Licence

Bluefox has been a licensed UK operator since 2014, operating under licence No. 39335. It employs SSL encryption so that all data exchanged on the site remains private and secure. Additionally, the site features a PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) logo, which signifies compliance with rigorous standards for handling card transactions.

The operator offers self-exclusion options, age verification, and deposit limits to support responsible gambling. For enhanced payment security, the platform also utilises 3D Secure—a payer authentication protocol that prevents fraud by using a 3-domain structure for card transactions.

Responsible Gambling

Bluefox supports responsible gaming, offering a variety of tools and resources to help players maintain control over their betting activities. These tools can be accessed directly in your account settings and include the following:

• Deposit Limits: You can set deposit limits to control how much you can add to your account over a period. Decreasing a limit takes effect immediately, while activating any increase takes 24 hours.
• Timeout: This feature lets you temporarily deactivate your profile for a period ranging from 1 to 42 days, providing a short-term break from wagering.
• Reality Check: Keep track of session duration with regular reminders. Even if you don’t enable this feature, Bluefox sends a pop-up reminder every hour while you are logged in, asking if you wish to continue playing. It helps to keep track of time spent on the platform.
• Self-Exclusion: Players can choose to self-exclude for at least six months, during which they are prevented from accessing their account. This is ideal for those seeking a longer break.

In the “Play Responsibly” section of the website, the bookie offers detailed guidance on how to manage your betting habits responsibly. This section also provides contact options for external support if further assistance is needed.

Our Opinion

Although Bluefox leans heavily towards casino gaming, its well-developed sportsbook features over 40 sports and many football markets. You will also find competitive odds, particularly on totals, with margins around 4-5% for top-tier matches. There’s also a dedicated section for horse racing and greyhound events.

It provides a decent bonus for new customers, but Bluefox promotions for existing players are relatively limited. Apart from cashback across various sports and a weekly bonus, there’s a noticeable absence of enhanced odds or specific rewards for horse racing.

The platform offers around 10 payment methods, which adds flexibility, but the 1% withdrawal fee (capped at £3) is less appealing. In addition, navigating the website can be challenging, so we recommend using the app, which is more intuitive.
