# Compare UK bookmakers' each-way terms

> How we compare UK-licensed bookmakers on published each-way terms, place options and Best Odds Guaranteed, with tiers A, B and C and the date of every check.

This section compares UK bookmakers on the each-way terms they publish: standard places and fractions, place options, Best Odds Guaranteed, and Rule 4 and dead-heat wording. Tiers A, B and C describe documented features, not the price on any race. On 7 November 2026 no bookmaker's licence or terms are verified yet.

## What we compare, and what we leave out

We compare only features a bookmaker publishes and that a reader can check: the standard places and fractions for horse racing, a permanent option for changing places, a Best Odds Guaranteed policy, and written rules for Rule 4 and dead heats.

We do not compare the daily list of extra places, because it changes within days. Those offers sit in [the extra places section](https://eachwayatlas.uk/extra-places/) with their own date.

**The short version:** the comparison covers documented rules, not the price on today's race.

## Where each bookmaker stands on 7 November 2026

These five bookmakers are the first profiles in the plan. They are candidates: each licence must be confirmed on the register before a profile is published.

**Candidate bookmakers · status of our checks · 7 November 2026**

| Bookmaker | Licence record on the register | Standard place terms read | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| bet365 | Not verified | Not verified | [Profile](https://eachwayatlas.uk/bookmakers/bet365/) |
| Paddy Power | Not verified | Not verified | [Profile](https://eachwayatlas.uk/bookmakers/paddy-power/) |
| Sky Bet | Not verified | Not verified | [Profile](https://eachwayatlas.uk/bookmakers/sky-bet/) |
| William Hill | Not verified | Not verified | [Profile](https://eachwayatlas.uk/bookmakers/william-hill/) |
| Betfred | Not verified | Not verified | [Profile](https://eachwayatlas.uk/bookmakers/betfred/) |

A bookmaker is listed only if its register record shows status Active for General Betting Standard – Real Event Remote on the day we publish. See [how to check a licence yourself](https://eachwayatlas.uk/licence/how-to-check-a-bookmaker-is-licensed/).

## How to read tiers A, B and C

Four yes-or-no checks decide the tier, each taken from the bookmaker's own published pages on the date shown.

- Check 1: standard places and fractions for horse racing are published.
- Check 2: Rule 4, dead-heat and withdrawn-horse rules are published.
- Check 3: a permanent option for changing places is published, with its conditions.
- Check 4: Best Odds Guaranteed on racing is published.

Tier A meets all four, tier B meets checks 1 and 2 plus one of 3 or 4, and tier C meets check 1 or 2. Inside a tier, bookmakers appear in alphabetical order.

These criteria are a draft until the owner approves them; the final text will sit on [how tiers work](https://eachwayatlas.uk/about/how-tiers-work/).

**The short version:** a tier records documented features and never the price of a single race.

## What is in this section

### Rankings and method

[Best each-way terms](https://eachwayatlas.uk/bookmakers/best-each-way-terms/) holds the tiers and the dated table. [Extra-place offers](https://eachwayatlas.uk/bookmakers/extra-place-offers/) and [Best Odds Guaranteed on racing](https://eachwayatlas.uk/bookmakers/best-odds-guaranteed-racing/) cover those two features. [How to compare each-way terms](https://eachwayatlas.uk/bookmakers/how-to-compare-each-way-terms/) shows you how to do it for your own race.

### Profiles and aspect pages

Each profile covers one bookmaker's licence record and published terms, for example [bet365](https://eachwayatlas.uk/bookmakers/bet365/) and [Betfred](https://eachwayatlas.uk/bookmakers/betfred/). Aspect pages such as [Paddy Power's extra places](https://eachwayatlas.uk/bookmakers/paddy-power-extra-places/) go deeper on one feature.

### Pairs

Two-way readings include [bet365 or William Hill](https://eachwayatlas.uk/bookmakers/bet365-vs-william-hill-each-way/) and [Paddy Power or Sky Bet](https://eachwayatlas.uk/bookmakers/paddy-power-vs-sky-bet-extra-places/).

## How we checked

This page records the plan and the method. No operator page and no register entry has been read for it, which is why the table says Not verified. How we collect and date facts is set out in [our method](https://eachwayatlas.uk/about/how-we-check/).

The dated snapshot of register entries will appear in [the licence snapshot](https://eachwayatlas.uk/data/licence-snapshot/). Still unsure what the numbers mean? Start with [each-way betting explained](https://eachwayatlas.uk/each-way/).
