This story was published more than 12 years ago.

The independent internet competitive intelligence monitor Hitwise has rated the Betfair group the most popular online gambling site for UK players through 2010. Based on the number of visits its sites received between January and December last year, the company managed to outstrip strong rivals like Ladbrokes and William Hill, the monitoring firm found.

Matthew Booth, head of UK marketing for Betfair says that 2010 was a big year for sports, and that this is reflected in the number of players frequenting his company's operations in search of better odds and bigger wins.
