Background
Betclic was one of the very first operators licensed by the French authority when the market opened in 2010. Its main strength remains live betting: a depth of markets that is rare on Ligue 1, the Champions League and ATP tennis.
We opened an account at our own expense, made a €50 deposit, placed eleven stakes across football, tennis and basketball, then requested a full withdrawal in order to measure the real processing time.
Deposits & withdrawals
Bank card, transfer and e-wallet. Withdrawal credited within 24 to 72 working hours during our test.
Mobile
iOS and Android apps, one-handed navigation, open bets tracked from the home screen.
Protection
Adjustable deposit limits, session control, self-exclusion and direct access to French support organisations.
Verdict
The default choice for a regular bettor on European football and tennis. Betclic remains the French benchmark for in-play betting.
