Betfred Opening Times, 74 Commercial Street, Rothwell, Leeds LS26 0QE

Betfred Rothwell (Commercial Street) opening times

Betfred, 74 Commercial Street, Rothwell, Leeds, LS26 0QE. Licensed by Leeds City Council, with the premises licence held by Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Limited.

Commercial Street is Rothwell's main street, running through the town centre past the shops, pubs and the war memorial. This branch has the street frontage that the Jail Yard Parade shop lacks, and it trades an hour later into the evening as a result. Between them the two shops give Rothwell better betting shop coverage than most towns of its size.

Weekday opening times

Monday to Friday this branch trades from 09:00 through to 21:00.

The main-street position gives this branch better passing trade than its sister shop round the corner, and the extra hour in the evening means it catches the end of the midweek football.

Weekend opening times

Saturday opens earliest at 08:30. Sunday runs 10:00 to 19:00.

Saturday is the busiest day, with Commercial Street at its fullest through the morning and the racing running all afternoon. Sunday closes at 19:00.

Bank holiday opening times

Every bank holiday except one is an ordinary trading day for betting shops in England and Wales. Christmas Day is barred by a condition the Gambling Act 2005 writes into every premises licence, so no betting shop in Great Britain opens on 25 December.

Commercial Street is quieter on bank holidays than on a normal working day, but the shop's local trade holds up and it runs its usual Monday times.

Easter opening times

Good Friday trading has been lawful for betting shops since the Gambling Act 2005 came into force, and Easter Sunday has never been restricted in Great Britain. Expect the normal weekend pattern across the Easter weekend.

Good Friday has no British racing, so the day is carried by football, greyhounds and the Irish and overseas cards. Easter Monday is one of the fullest racing days of the spring and a busy one on Commercial Street.

May bank holiday opening times

Both May bank holidays are normal Monday trading days at 09:00 to 21:00.

August bank holiday opening times

The August bank holiday brings a heavy afternoon racing card. Expect the shop to be busy from lunchtime through to the evening.

Christmas opening times

Christmas is the only stretch of the year where the pattern here changes. Christmas Day is closed by law. Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve finish early, and the days between run close to normal because 26 and 27 December are two of the biggest racing days of the year.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve keeps the normal 09:00 open with an early close at around 18:00. Commercial Street is busy that morning and the shop follows the same pattern before clearing out.

Boxing Day

Boxing Day is the busiest single day of the betting shop year, anchored by the King George VI Chase at Kempton. Expect a full day here, closing at 20:00.

New Year opening times

New Year’s Eve

New Year's Eve mirrors Christmas Eve, with a normal morning open and an early evening close at around 18:00. Place anything for the New Year's Day cards during the afternoon.

New Year’s Day

New Year's Day opens later at around 10:00 and closes at 20:00. There is a full jumps card, so the shop trades a normal if slightly compressed day.

How the live opening times panel works

Everything in the panel above is worked out live: the script reads the clock in Leeds, checks it against this branch's own times, and re-draws the status, the closing time and the countdown as the day moves on.

What the status means

A green Open means Rothwell (Commercial Street) is trading right now. Closed means the current time falls outside the published window, and the countdown switches to the wait until the next opening. In the final hour before 21:00 the countdown is the number to trust over the table.

Last bets and settling up

Expect the counter to stop writing cash bets a few minutes short of 21:00. Settling the day's slips and cashing up takes time, and it happens before the advertised close rather than after it. Collections are worth making earlier in the evening.

Getting there

The buttons at the top of the page pin the shop, route you from where you are standing, and open Street View so you can pick out the frontage. There is on-street and off-street parking along Commercial Street, though it fills up during the day.
