Bet365 is one of the world's largest online betting platforms, serving millions of users across the UK and beyond. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Stoke-on-Trent, it offers sports betting, live streaming, casino, and poker. Bet365 holds UKGC licence #39563.
Bet365 outages typically occur during high-demand periods such as Premier League match days, Grand National, Cheltenham Festival, or Champions League fixtures. The platform may also go down briefly for scheduled maintenance, usually during off-peak hours between 2am and 6am GMT.
Unlike general-purpose tools such as Downdetector, IsBetDown is built specifically for online betting. We monitor bet365.com from multiple server locations every 30 seconds, providing faster and more accurate status updates tailored to punters. We also check whether the issue is on Bet365's side or caused by wider infrastructure problems (Cloudflare, AWS, Akamai), giving you the full picture in seconds.
If you have placed a bet before an outage, there is generally no need to worry. Your bet is recorded on Bet365's servers and will be settled as normal once the service is restored. Under UKGC regulations, licensed operators must honour all confirmed bets regardless of technical issues.
However, if you were in the middle of placing a bet or using a cash-out feature when the site went down, the transaction may not have completed. In that case, check your bet history once Bet365 is back online. If there is any discrepancy, contact Bet365's customer support and reference your bet slip or confirmation number.
Unfortunately, no. Cash-out requires a live connection to Bet365's servers to calculate and process the current offer. During an outage, this feature is unavailable. If you are concerned about a live bet, note the current score and odds — once the site is restored, cash-out will become available again (provided the event is still in play).
Sometimes what appears to be a Bet365 outage might be a local issue. If our monitor shows Bet365 as operational but you cannot access it, try these steps: clear your browser cache, switch to a different browser or device, try disabling your VPN (some bookmakers block VPN traffic), check your internet connection, or try accessing bet365.com from mobile data instead of Wi-Fi.
Most Bet365 outages are resolved within 15 to 30 minutes. Scheduled maintenance windows are typically brief. However, during major incidents (DNS failures, CDN outages affecting multiple sites), downtime can extend to several hours. We display real-time infrastructure status above so you can see if the problem is wider than just Bet365.
If Bet365 is experiencing an outage and you need to place a bet urgently, consider using one of the UKGC-licensed alternative bookmakers listed above. All alternatives hold valid UK Gambling Commission licences and are monitored in real-time on IsBetDown. Remember to gamble responsibly — never chase losses due to frustration with a site outage.
