Betfred Goodmayes Lane, Goodmayes opening times
Betfred, 99 Goodmayes Lane, Ilford, IG3 9PL. Licensed by the London Borough of Redbridge, with the premises licence held by Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Limited.
This listing gives the address as 99 Goodmayes Lane, the same premises as the 99 and 101 entry above with the same postcode. It is the same neighbourhood setting in Goodmayes. It opens in time for the morning race cards and stays open until 22:00 for the evening football and greyhounds.
| Day | Opens | Closes | Time open |
|---|
Why 22:00? Betting premises licences in England and Wales carry a default condition under the Gambling Act 2005 that bars gambling between 22:00 and 07:00 unless the licensing authority removes it, which is why most high-street bookmakers close at 22:00. Individual branch times can still change at short notice, so check before a late trip.

| New Year's Day | 1 January | — | 10:00 – 20:00 |
