Grosvenor
In the UK, Grosevnor Casino operates over 50 physical casinos, making them one of the biggest “high street” casino brand names. Established all the way back in 1970, Grosevnor is one of the UK’s most loved operators.
Recently, the company has expanded its operations into the world of online sports betting. In comparison to their high-quality physical casinos, however, how does the Grosevnor online sports betting experience stack up? After all, running an online casino and online sportsbook is a lot different to operating physical ones.
That is what we are going to cover in this brief review of the Grosevnor online sportsbook.
Grosevnor Betting Markets
Despite the fact that Grosevnor has only recently launched its online sportsbook, the platform comes with a very good selection of markets and betting options.
At the time of writing, there are over 30 different betting markets on offer. This puts Grosevnor up there with some of the industry’s bigger and more established names. All the important “must-have” markets such as football, tennis, cricket, and horse racing are each available, and all of them come with a good selection of betting options. There are also ample “smaller” and “lesser-known” markets available, too, such as surfing, eSports, and your novelty markets such as TV and political specials, amongst others.
Navigating between the many different markets is very simple, too—all you need to do is use the left-hand toolbar and select from the available options. The most popular and in-demand markets are found at the top, immediately prior to the alphabetical A-Z list.
When it comes to betting options for each market and sport, it depends on the sport in question. For example, major football fixtures such as the Premier League will have hundreds of betting options available. Some of the smaller markets, sports, and games, however, can offer considerably less. This situation is pretty much the same across the entire industry.

Given that Grosevnor has only recently begin its foray into providing an online sportsbook service, the odds on offer are actually very good. Many markets are well above the 90% mark, with tennis taking the top spot with odds of around 96%. This places the Grosevnor platform up there with bigger names such as BetVictor and Betway.
Odds are consistently good across most markets. That being said, we always recommend checking current odds via a third-party tool or website (e.g. Odds Checker) to make sure you are getting the best deal. This is because sportsbooks can (and often do) change their odds.
Back to top ↑In-Play Betting and Streaming
One place we like to look, especially with new sportsbooks, is at in-play betting and streaming options. Often, the more of these that are available, the better the betting platform will be. Why? Because in-play betting and streaming functionality isn’t something that is easy to do a great job of.
At Grosevnor, they are a very attractive and well-covered feature.
There are plenty of easy-to-use, easily accessible, live betting options available, however, there are no live streaming options available at the time of writing. This is one of the platform’s biggest let downs and we hope that they will introduce it in the near future. All major leagues, tournaments, and competitions are covered in addition to plenty of smaller ones.
Back to top ↑Smartphone Compatibility
Grosevnor recognizes the importance of having a strong presence on mobile devices and to meet market demand, the company has made its own dedicated app for Grosevnor sports betting. Available on Android and iOS, the Grosevnor Sport – Bet on Sport app provides the same high-quality experience as the desktop-based website.
For those of you who don’t want to download and install an app, you can also play via your smartphone and/or tablet by navigating to the Grosevnor website. Their website has been designed and optimised for both desktop and mobile usage.
Back to top ↑Off To a Good Start
All in all, Grosevnor is off to a good start with its online sportsbook. Still, it doesn’t come close to beating some of the better, newer operators out there such as MoPlay.
Still, if you are an existing Grosevnor customer and want to stay loyal to the platform, there is no harm in signing up. When push comes to shove, it is a good sportsbook.
