  ## History
  
  OLBG (OnLine Betting Guide) was established in 2002 to guide UK bettors on where and how to place bets online in the early days of online betting. Between 2003 and 2004, a tipster competition and forum was added to the site and it grew to become the world’s biggest community of sports bettors who share their knowledge to help others improve their betting.
  
  OLBG featured in the Road To Cheltenham series where it sponsored the OLBG Mares' Hurdle from 2012 to 2019, covered live on ITV.
  
  In 2012, the OLBG Sports Betting Tips app was released to help users have easy access to the platform.
