Maximum Payout - Football

Maximum Football Betting Payout

In today’s football betting market where huge accumulator payouts are commonplace, it’s important to know the daily maximum football payouts across the varying leagues offered by the biggest online bookmakers. Punters be warned, online bookmakers will only pay out to their daily maximum payout limit which, for football, varies by competition and the variances between bookmakers can be eye-watering.

Accumulator punters also need to be aware as including matches from different competitions can seriously impact on your winnings. Here’s a statement from a well-known online bookmaker’s terms of business, “Where a multiple bet has been placed which involves events with different maximum winnings limits then the lowest limit will apply.” Now that can limit ACCA payouts to as little as £50,000 with a couple of leading bookmakers.

A summary of what you need to know about both William Hill and bet365 is below and if you don’t have at least one of their accounts, we strongly recommend them to ensure you maximise your potential football profits.

Maximum Payout by Football Competition - England & Scotland

Online bookmakers have differing maximum payout levels across the varying competitions. Naturally they offer the biggest payout ceilings across the Premier League and English Football League which sees by far the largest amount of betting. Below is a table highlighting current Maximum Payouts for the Premier League –  you’ll see that the maximum daily payout for just the Premier League varies between a market-leading £2 million and £250,000. That’s a huge gap and a pitfall to avoid. But the story doesn’t end there – take Scottish football as an example.

We all love our Saturday ACCA and it’s not uncommon to include Scottish matches. Where William Hill continue to give a £2 million payout ceiling on the Scottish Premiership, the lowest maximum payout on Scotland’s top division is £100,000. Remember that an online bookmaker within an accumulator will only pay out to the lowest division maximum limit. Include a Scottish Division 1 or 2 clash and the worst payout limit currently falls again to only £50,000. So take time to read our English and Scottish football maximum payout summary below, which highlights both good and bad online operators:

Full maximum payout details across English football can be seen below:

  • Premier League Maximum Payout: Best: £2 million: bet365 & William Hill; £1 million: Betfair Sportsbook, Betfred, Coral, Ladbrokes, Paddy Power; Worst: £250,000: 888Sport, Unibet.

The English Premier League is dominated by bet365 and William Hill at a £2 million maximum payout level. A host of big brands offer up £1 million, with 888Sport and Unibet offering the smallest daily ceiling at only £250,000.

From an English Football League perspective, bet365 and William Hill continue with their £2 million payout ceiling. Compare and contrast though with 888Sport and Unibet, who offer a further reduced £100,000 top payout, for the Championship and £50,000 for EFL Leagues 1 and 2. And accumulator punters who include National League (the old Football Conference) fixtures should beware. William Hill offer a market-leading £1 million, whereas Boylesports only offer a rock-bottom £10,000.

Scottish Football

For those who like to have a bet on Scottish football, look no further than William Hill who top the maximum payout charts across all competitions North of the Border. It’s worth noting that if you include a Scottish match in your ACCA, the maximum payout ceiling drops to the lowest payout ceiling, so beware. For example under the terms of BetVictor, any accumulator with a Scottish Premiership match within it, would see a maximum payout of just £100,000 active.

Televised European Football Maximum Payout by Competition

For those living in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, there’s now masses of live football action from around Europe. Clearly the UEFA Champions League is the premier club competition and all online bookmakers give punters their biggest maximum payout ceiling. However other competitions such as the UEFA Europa League are subject to much smaller ceilings – so read on for our summary of maximum payouts by live televised competition.

European Football

Yes it’s a familiar story, but again bet365 and William Hill offer a £2 million maximum payout ceiling across both the UEFA Champions and Europa Leagues. On the negative side, watch out for Boylesports who offer £500,000 for Champions League but only a £50,000 maximum payout for the Europa League.

  • UEFA Champions League Maximum Payout: Best: £2 million: bet365 & William Hill; £1 million: Betfair Sportsbook, Betfred, Coral, Ladbrokes, Paddy Power; Worst: £250,000: 888Sport, Unibet.
  • UEFA Europa League Maximum Payout: Best: £2 million: bet365 & William Hill; £1 million: Betfair Sportsbook, Coral, Ladbrokes, Paddy Power; Worst: £50,000: Boylesports.

Only bet365 ensure that you can gross the very biggest profits across Europe’s premier competitions with a £2 million maximum payout ceiling across the Champions League, Europa League and the top domestic divisions in France, Germany, Italy and Spain . On the negative side, Paddy Power offer only £100,000 across all Italian football including Serie A. That very low ceiling could affect payouts, especially for ACCA punters who include Italian games in their selections.

  • Spanish La Liga / German Bundesliga / French Ligue 1 Maximum Payout: Best: £2 million: bet365; £1 million: Betfair Sportsbook, Betfred, Coral, Ladbrokes, Paddy Power, William Hill; Worst: £250,000: 888Sport, Unibet.
  • Italian Serie A Maximum Payout: Best: £2 million: bet365; £1 million: Betfair Sportsbook, Betfred, Coral, Ladbrokes, William Hill; Worst: £100,000: Paddy Power.
