Vernons Review

WELCOME TO VERNONS

If you have been betting for some time, or are one of the older generation then you will know that Vernons started life as a football pools company which was founded nearly 100 years ago back in 1925.

Every Saturday people and families up and down the country would check their pools coupons to see if they had predicted the results correctly for either a home win, away win or draw. A draw was what you were looking for.

Scoring schemes varied over the years. The current Classic Pools game uses a scoring scheme which awards three points to score draws (matches where both team scored the same number of goals), two points to no-score draws (matches where neither team scored a goal) and one point to both home wins (matches where the home team scored more goals than the away team) and away wins (matches where the away team scored more goals than the home team).

Of cvourse football betting has developed massively and Vernons have a deep rooted history in the sport which is why their site id very football focused.

Because of this they have one of the best football offers on the market with their “Score Draw” money back offer a cracker. If you have a first goalscorer bet and it loses, but teh match ends in a draw then Vernons will give you a free bet up to fifty pounds.

Now the site itself is not the most modern but in play and live betting fans will like the fact that all upcoming games are shown at the very top of the main page.

For football punters they have a great stats tool that can be accessed at the bottom left of the page.

Vernons has been an established, trusted name in gaming since 1925. Today, Vernons operates as one of the proud names within the broad-based NetplayTV plc group of gaming-related brands in Alderney. Netplay TV Group Ltd is a fully owned subsidiary of Betsson AB, a Swedish company with many years of experience in the gaming business. Betsson AB is listed on the ‘Nasdaq Stockholm Mid Cap List’ Stock Exchange (BETS).

Vernons offer fractional decimal and American odds formats. For a full explantion about odds types, you can check out our extensive betting guide.

Betting limits

It is important to read the terms and conditions of Vernons relating to maximum winnings. Below you will see one of their clauses which is very unclear.

“We reserve the right to impose limits on the Winnings accruing from any one bet placed on a particular event or sport (regardless of the stake or whether the bet has been placed through more than one separate channel), such limit to be notified by Us to you from time to time”

Types of bets

Vernons provide all the standard types of bets such as singles (wein and each way) combination and system bets as well as LIVE in-play betting with a
wide range of Asian Handicaps.

Sport coverage

Vernons currently provide a wide range of sports to bet on with more than 25 different sports that you can place a bet on and win big.

In-play experience

The Vernons live offer includes in-play, fast markets and Asian handicaps for live betting. We think the interface is way too congested though. It
has a lot of white space which will appeal to many people but events are not very clearly laid out.

Live streaming

Vernons does not currently supply any live streaming of events.

The Vernons website has quite an old fashioned look to it on the main splash page where you will find their main offers of casino, sports and bingo.

Once you click through on sports then it takes you to a much more modern betting interface. The colour scheme uses blue as its main colour with red and white used in heading sections and text.

The layout has a left side which is split into a number of sections and these include:

– Favourites
– Quick Links
– Featured Bets
– Football Quick Links
– Sports
– Betting Services

The centre section is where you will find all the In-play betting where you will have Live Now, Upcoming Bets and Upcoming Races. At the top of this section you will find a set of tabs which allow you to drill down to a specific sport.

On the right side of the page you will find the bet slip section and here they have a section called “Popular Bets” and this contains 5 selected suggestions as an accumulator. There is also a calculator tool which allows you to enter a stake from £1 to £250 and see potential winnings.

In terms of other content, the statistics and live score tools in the bottom left menu offer punters some help in determining some vaue bets.

When we looked and compared prices on top level football matches, we found that Vernon’s were consistently lower in terms of odds value. Looking at a selection of premier League matches we found that the odds were shorter for the home win, shorter for the draw and much the same for the away win when compared to other mainstream online sportsbooks.

Although the odds were not the strongest point, you will find a very good selection of markets on football betting.

In terms of world-wide football, thwey offer betting from 73 different countries with a combined amount of leagues that goes well over 200. For the major European Leagues you will see anywhere from 140 – 160 separate markets on every game.

The In-Play interface will not appeal to all punters as it has a bit of an old fashioned feel to it, but if functionality and ease of use are important to you, then the Vernons In-play betting interface is really very good.

All live events are held in a left hand menu with the middle section holding all the odds info and match data. The match data section shows all what has already happened in the game and is updated very quickly. This section gives you the opportunity to spot short price betting opportunities.

At present Vernon’s have just one sports offer which is on European league darts.

Vernons provide the customers and users with avery wide range of deposit and withdrawal options. They cover debit and credit card options and also a great selection of e-wallets and e-payment methods.

Well this was a very poor experience when trying to contact by telephone. The main number on their site came across as not existing. We then tried another number and was on hold for four minutes without an answer before ringing off.

Clicking on the live chat bought up this set of information:

Our Customer Service is always open! You can get in touch with us via email, phone or chat.

Alternatively, you can call us on 0203 727 3916 or chat with us during our opening hours: Mon-Sun 17:00-04:00 UK Time.

Overall a very poor experience
