The Pools Reviews
Editorial assessment: The Pools is now focused on traditional football pools rather than the casino and sportsbook mix shown in older listings. I’d judge it as a pools product, not a direct substitute for a modern fixed-odds bookmaker.

About The Pools
The Pools is a British football pools service operated by The Football Pools Limited, registered in Liverpool. The company holds UK Gambling Commission account 48272. Its historic business included pools competitions alongside fixed-odds sports betting and casino gaming.
In July 2026, the operator publicly confirmed that casino games and slots were no longer available, and stated its focus had moved to classic football pools and other traditional pools games. It should therefore not be described as offering the full sportsbook and casino range in its older Betbench profile. Current general sportsbook minimum stakes, maximum payouts and welcome free-bet terms were not verified. The company remains associated with football pools products in the United Kingdom.
