Sportsbet Bookmaker Review

Sportsbet is one of the leading companies in its market - sports betting using cryptocurrencies. Sportsbet also accepts some common currencies. The bookmaker was created in 2016 and is managed by mBet Solutions NV, registered in Curacao. Sportsbet is an official partner of several clubs and offers bets on a variety of sports, even the most exotic ones.

In addition to betting on sports and non-sports events (though the line on them is very small), there are also online casino. Here you can find more than 250 gaming disciplines with products from the best developers: Betsoft, Pragmatic Play, Endorphina, Evolution Gaming, Yggdrasil, Microgaming.

Separately, we note the stylish design of the site, simple and clear navigation through the sections. The official Sportsbet website is available in several languages.

Sportsbet promotions and bonuses

The more promotions and bonuses a bookmaker has, the more enjoyable it is to play. When choosing between several bookmakers, many choose a service that offers nice bonuses for registration, cashback and various promotions from time to time.

As for Sportsbet, bonuses are located in the Promotions section - there you can find offers for both sports betting and casino. Note that bonuses and promotions are mixed here with news, for example, about the appointment of a new brand ambassador, which is a little confusing. Let's take a look at some of the bonuses that Sportsbet offers.

• Price Boost – enhanced odds are available once every 24 hours for each sport. Simply select an event and bet amount, click on Price Boost, and get a higher odds than originally indicated. The bonus can only be used once per event.
  
  
• Free bets for bets on the Champions League and Nations League. The more winning bets, the more free bets you receive. Freebets are awarded in BTC, even if you bet using regular currency. For example, if you make 5 winning bets, you will receive a free bet worth 5mBTC. And for 25 winning bets you can get as much as 1 BTC for further bets! Moreover, if at least one bet loses, you will have to start collecting the winning chain from the beginning.
  
  
• Enhanced odds for accumulator bets of more than 5 events. For 5 accumulator bets the odds increases by 10%, for 6 by 12%, and so on, up to 30% for an acca bet of 12 events.

In addition, different thematic bonuses are offered with a limited period of validity. In general, it can be said that the bonus policy is quite good. Also there is insurance of bets and Cash Out.

Sportsbet odds

Odds directly affect your winnings, so when choosing a bookmaker, it’s worth analyzing them to understand how profitable the bets in a given bookmaker are. At Sportsbet, the odds are quite average, but you can still find interesting options for some events.

Selection of bets

Sportsbet has a fairly wide selection of bets. There are almost all existing sports here, from the usual football and tennis to the most exotic (for example, kabaddi and pesäpallo). In total, you will find about 30 sports on the site. You can select the sport you are interested in from the main page at the top or using the search. You can also view the most popular events, matches that are about to start, etc.

A good selection of bets is offered for popular events, with up to 150 betting options, including yellow cards, totals, handicaps and others. The most bets are offered on football, table tennis, snooker, hockey and basketball.

In addition to regular sports, there are virtual and e-sports. The latter includes disciplines such as Dota 2, League of Legends, Rocket League and StarCraft.

There is also a Specials section where bets on non-sporting events are presented, however, at the time of writing, there are very few of them there, and all are related to British politics.

Bets are available in Prematch and Live modes. In addition, Sportsbet has live broadcasts of matches, but they are only available to those who have made a deposit.

How to register with Sportsbet bookmaker

Opening an account is quite simple. You can fill out the registration form, or you can log in through an account on social networks - Google, Facebook, Line, Metamask, Twitter or Telegram. Upon full registration, you will need to enter the following data:

It is important that for some jurisdictions, replenishing a wallet in euros is available only from Visa cards, and for some, only from MasterCard. There is no commission charged by the bookmaker for depositing and withdrawing funds using cryptocurrencies. There is a 1.95% processing fee for fiat currency transactions. Verification is required to withdraw funds. You can go through it in your personal account. You must upload 2 documents:

Mobile version and application

Sportsbet has an excellent mobile version, it works quickly and all functions are available. There is also a Sportsbet application - although so far only on Android. It is available for all smartphones with an OS older than Android 7.0, and you can download it directly from the Sportsbet website. It is not available in the official Google Play market, since Google rarely allows applications of this type. As for iOS users, they will have to wait a little - the application is still in development. But, we repeat, the mobile version is in no way inferior to the application.

License and reliability

The first thing to consider when choosing a bookmaker is its reliability. If a player bets with real money, he should know that the bookmaker will not disappear with his money, will correctly calculate the bet and, if something happens, will answer for its obligations. Therefore, the first thing you need to look at is the company’s registration data, reviews about it, reputation and availability of permission to operate.

Although cryptocurrencies have long been considered a means of payment for the black market, this is no longer the case. Today, cryptocurrency is used in completely different projects, including betting. This is confirmed by the Sportsbet bookmaker, which accepts bets using popular cryptocurrencies and is officially registered.

The company is called mBet Solutions NV, it is registered in Curacao at the address Kaya Richard J. Beaujon Z/N Landhuis Joonchi II and has received license No. 1668/JAZ in this jurisdiction. Despite the fact that Curacao is an offshore jurisdiction and is generally considered unreliable, it is a common place of registration for many gambling projects.

The Sportsbet office appeared in 2016, it uses the power of the crypto-gaming platform Coingaming.io, and is an official partner of the Bitcoin casino BitCasino.io. In addition, Sportsbet is the official partner of two football clubs: Newcastle United from the English Premier League and Southampton from the Championship.

As for reviews of Sportsbet, they are mostly positive. It should be noted that this is one of the top bookmakers that accept cryptocurrencies. It is used by many crypto enthusiasts who share a love for sports betting.

Customer service

Technical support should be easy to contact, because problems can arise suddenly, at the most inopportune moment. In addition, the quality of technical support itself is important - how quickly the specialist responds, whether he helps resolve the issue or simply gives pre-written answers.

At Sportsbet, for starters, you can contact the Help Center - there are ready-made answers to various questions. If you have not found the answer to your question, you can contact a specialist in the following ways:

• By email by writing a letter to cs@sportsbet.io.
• In Live chat on the website.

Communication by phone number is not provided, as well as communication on social networks or instant messenger. But technical support does an excellent job, responds quickly and resolves issues.
