The First Past the Post is a rule that can apply at certain bookmakers in the UK. Also this benefit is also available in irish and other international bookmakers, like those from Dubai, US or other European countries.

Overall if you’re planning to place some online horse racing bets, it’s always best to take a look at the rules related to this situation, as they might differ from one site to another. Some of the most popular online sportsbooks are going to offer you some soft rules regarding this situation and this way you can be sure that you will get paid even during this situation.

The bookies who always pay out for first past the post are Betfred, Ladbrokes, Bet365, Coral,  Betvictor and Unibet
