Common Questions About Betting Shops in Bristol

What is a betting shop?

A betting shop is a high-street premises licensed to take bets in person. Every shop needs its own premises licence from its local licensing authority for the address it trades from, which is why a chain holds one licence per shop rather than one nationally. The Gambling Commission publishes the register of those licences, and this directory is built from it. Shops are also known as bookmakers or bookies.

How many betting shops are there in Bristol?

The Gambling Commission premises register lists 6,200 licensed high-street betting shops in Great Britain. 58 of them are in Bristol. Every one of them holds its own premises licence for the address it trades from.

Why do some shops show no opening hours?

Because no operator publishes hours we can read for that shop. We list it with its address, licence and directions and say that its hours are unknown, rather than guessing them or copying a chain-wide time onto a shop that may not keep it. The typical hours by bookmaker above are the nearest honest answer for those shops.

Are betting shops open on Sundays?

Yes, though on shorter hours than the rest of the week. Ladbrokes shops typically open 09:00 to 20:00, William Hill shops typically open 09:30 to 20:30, Coral shops typically open 09:30 to 19:00. These are medians across the shops whose hours we hold, from records collected to 20 October 2026. An individual shop can differ.

Is a shop listed here definitely still trading?

Every shop listed holds a current premises licence on the Gambling Commission register, which is where this directory starts. A licence can outlast trading, so a shop may be shut while still licensed. Where a shop appears on the register but not on its own operator's shop finder, we say so on the shop page rather than quietly dropping it.

Each chain answers shop enquiries on one national line. Individual shops do not publish direct numbers.

Each time is the median across the shops of that chain whose hours we hold, so half open earlier and half later. The count in the last column is how much of the chain the median was measured across from records collected to 20 October 2026. An individual shop can differ, and a shop page states its own hours where we have them. We publish no typical hours for Betfred (78 of 1,405 shops), JenningsBet (1 of 98 shops), The Winning Post (0 of 14 shops) or Backhouse Bet (1 of 12 shops): too little of the chain to speak for the rest.

Who Licenses Betting Shops in Bristol?

Bristol City Council licenses most of the betting shops in Bristol, and three other licensing authorities license the rest. Betting shops in Great Britain hold two separate licences: the local licensing authority issues the premises licence under the Gambling Act 2005, and the Gambling Commission issues the operating licence to the business that runs the shop.

Bristol City Council issued 39 of the 58 premises licences the register records for Bristol, ahead of South Gloucestershire Council with 17. A premises licence follows a betting shop's street address, not the town name.
