At Joe Jennings, we’ve been taking bets the personal way since 1961. There’s no app to wrestle with and no faceless account — just experienced traders on the end of the phone, and our popular messaging services when you’re on the go. Whether you want the latest prices on the day’s racing, want to place a bet, or simply wish to check your balance, we make it simple, fast and secure.
You can place a bet with us in three ways: by Telephone on our Freephone number, by WhatsApp, or by Telegram. All give you competitive odds on all major worldwide sporting events — UK and Irish horse racing, football, greyhounds, and both the US and European PGA Golf Tours — along with Best Odds Guaranteed on every UK and Irish race.
Placing a Bet by Telephone
Our telephone service is the quickest and most reliable way to get your bet on, especially close to the off. Simply call our Freephone number, tell one of our experienced traders your selection and stake, and they’ll confirm your bet there and then. We offer prices on all sporting events and in-play markets from around the world, and our operation is designed to cater for everyone’s betting needs.
For security, all telephone conversations are recorded. These recordings remain the property of Joe Jennings Tele-Bet and are never shared with any third party, except an arbitration service where applicable.
Freephone: 08085 521 421 / 01279 625 900
Placing a Bet by WhatsApp
Fast, secure and familiar, our WhatsApp service puts your account in the palm of your hand. Message us to get the latest prices, place a bet, check your balance, or deposit and withdraw — all without leaving the app you already use every day. Once you’re registered, getting a bet on takes seconds.
To get started, simply message us on WhatsApp at 07743 788396. If you’d rather speak to someone, our phone lines are always open during business hours.
An Important Note on WhatsApp Bets
Please be aware that telephone betting is a more efficient and secure way of placing a bet than WhatsApp. If you choose to send your bets by WhatsApp, Joe Jennings may refuse all or part of a bet at their discretion, and you may not always receive a confirmation before an event starts. A WhatsApp bet is only considered struck once we reply with a “Bet Confirmation” message.
If you have not received a confirmation before an event begins, it is your responsibility to call the office on 08085 521 421 to check whether your bet has been received and accepted. For this reason, we always advise placing bets over the phone when close to the start of an event.
Placing a Bet by Telegram
Simple, fast, reliable and secure, our Telegram service gives you complete control over your betting from your phone. You can get the latest prices, place bets, make a balance enquiry, and even deposit and withdraw directly from within Telegram — giving you total flexibility in how you run your account. Getting your bets on couldn’t be easier once you’re registered. It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3.
To find us, simply search @JoeJenningsBookmakers on Telegram. If you’d rather speak to someone, our phone lines are always open during business hours.

How Your Account Works
Opening an account takes minutes. Complete our online sign-up form, or simply Freephone 08085 521 421 and let one of our traders set you up.
All accounts default to Top Up Manual accounts, which means there’s no need to leave a deposit. If you have no balance when you place a bet, payment is taken from your card at the time the bet is accepted. Any winnings are credited to your balance so you can place further bets with them, and you can request a withdrawal of some or all of your balance at any time by contacting one of our traders. Your account stays open whether or not you hold a balance.
Please note that a minimum stake of £10 (or currency equivalent) applies per telephone call.
Safer Gambling & New Customers
As part of our ongoing commitment to Safer Gambling, you are asked to consider setting a financial limit that is appropriate for you. You can choose either a Deposit Limit or a NET Deposit Limit, over a daily, weekly or monthly period. You can also choose a combination of all three. Whilst a Deposit Limit would NOT consider any withdrawals that you may make. A NET Deposit Limit would take any withdrawals into account.
If the Deposit Limit or NET Deposit Limit you request is higher than the maximum limit that we would permit for a new customer, a temporary Deposit Limit will automatically be applied. This will remain in place while your requested limit is considered or until further checks have been completed.
