Before getting to the fun stuff, you’ll need to create an account at STSBet. Don’t worry – this doesn’t take long. Registering is a three-step process, and during the first stage you’ll need to register your email address and choose a secure password. If you have any bonus codes you can enter them here, but at the time of writing. this isn’t necessary for the welcome bonus.

Thr second step is where you’ll fill in the usual details �first and last name, username, address, city, postcode, country, and mobile number.

The third and final step is where you’ll set account limits. These will help you keep your budget under control. You’ll have to enter maximum daily, weekly and monthly deposit values (these can be changed later). Moreover, this section is also where you’ll decide to opt in or out for alerts via text, email or telephone. Tick the terms & conditions, hit the submit icon and voilà – your account has been created. There's no need to check for any confirmation email, but you will have to head over to the Documents tab in your profile to verify your account. Here, you can upload necessary documentation to prove your age, identity and place of residence.

Above are the 9 payment methods you can use to transfer funds into your STS account. To make a deposit, go to My Profile, click My Wallet and select Deposit. As is the case for most gambling websites, you’re able to deposit money using VISA and Mastercard debit cards. The undisputed number one for online transactions, PayPal, is also offered, as well as Neteller, Skrill, MuchBetter, Trustly and Payz (formerly ecoPayz). If you’re old-fashioned, Fast Bank Transfer will allow you to safely deposit funds directly from your bank account, though this takes 1-3 days. All other payment methods are instantaneous, meaning your balance will b?e topped up immediately.

The minimum deposit amount for each method is £10, while the maximum is £10,000.  No additional fees are charged for deposits.

Withdrawals are just as easy, and these can also be done by clicking on My Wallet followed by Withdraw. The exact same methods (minus Skrill 1-Tap) can be used. As you would expect, it takes longer for withdrawals to be processed than deposits, but not too much longer. E-wallets all take half an hour, debit cards take 15 minutes to 1 day, and Trustly can range from anything between 15 minutes to 3 days. Bank transfers remain the same �1 to 3 days.

As a new STSBet player, you can pocket a £10 free bet. There are a few things you’ll have to do to benefit. After registering, place a qualifying bet of at least £10 on a single or accumulator, minimum odds 1/2 to receive a £10 free bet. It’s important that you don’t deposit using Neteller/Skrill, Payz, Rapid and MuchBetter.  Players will receive a £10 free bet once the bet is settled, regardless of whether it’s successful or not.

The free bets winnings must be wagered x8 on any sports markets. Both in-play and?? ?pre-match bets and both single and accumulator bets count towards wagering requirements.

The free bet is valid for any sports, for 30 days from the date of receiving

We’ve outlined the most important T&Cs here, but we still recommend you look at the other finer details to avoid any problems. Overall, STSBet’s welcome bonus is one of the more generous ones on the market, especially considering the low minimum odds and wagering requirements.

STSBet continue to impress when it comes to their sportsbook promotions. One look at the past and present offers tells us there’s plenty to take advantage of.

At the time of writing, apart from the welcome bonus, there are promotions on French Open tennis?, En??glish football, and accumulator betting. We’ll briefly go through them here to whet your appetite.

Weekly £5 French Open Sports Bonus

Tennis punters don’t get enough love sometimes, so it’s great to see STSBet add to the French Open drama by handing out a free bet. To pick up the £5 bonus bet, players must qualify by placing a total of £50 on in play bets throughout the first or second week of the tournament. The £50 doesn’t have to be placed at once, but it’s important that each bet is placed on odds of minimum 1/2 (1.5). From what we can see, this isn’t a one-off promotion. The completed promotion?s section shows that STSBet did something similar for the US Open, so we can expect tennis fans to ?be nicely catered for overall.

Weekly £10 English Football Bonus

Another weekly offer with a few differences. Players can pocket a £10 by placing exactly £20 on an accumulator of two or more games, with total odds of at least 4/1 (5.00). This must be placed on any Premier League or Championship game taking place between Friday to Sunday. If the bet wins, then a £10 sports bonus will be added to your account the following Monday at 16:00 BST, redeemable for five days.

Extra 6+ (100% Acca Insurance)

Many of us can empathise with the punter who suffers the agony of losing a big acca by one. It happens to the best of us. No kind words can ease the pain, but a refunded stake just might. At STSBet, if you place an accumulator of 6 or more selections and one team lets you down, you’ll receive a 100% match bonus of your stake, given it’s not lower than £2 or higher than £50. All selections must have odds of at least 3/5 (1.6) for you to benefit.

Looking through past promotions, it’s clear to see that the promotions team at STSBet are always trying to come up with new incentives to keep things exciting. The Champions League, the Europa League, the Nations League, the FA Cup and the Championship are some of the tournaments that been the focus of previous offers, and this assures us that the promotions flow throughout the year.

VIP/Loyalty Programme

We made it to this part of the review without finding a fault, but alas- here it is! As the screenshot above explains, STSBet do not have a VIP programme in place right now. We always love to see players rewarded for their loyalty, so we hope this is something STSBet will come round to implementin?g sooner rather than later.

There’s no shortage of things to talk about here, so let’s get to it. With over 30 different options, STSBet is packed with betting options. Besides the usual �football, basketball, tennis and handball to name a few, you’ll find niche markets like sailing, WWE and cross-country skiing. One downside is the omission of horse and greyhound racing, ??so if y??ou’re a fan of these sports, you’ll have to look elsewhere.

As for the sub-markets in each sport, we have to say we’re impressed with the tremendous range on offer. We checked out a Premier League match and found a whopping 323 betting lines to choose from. There were odds on pretty much anything you can imagine, from match result, to Asian handicaps, to total corner stats and so much more. One sub-market that caught our eye is Anytime Goalscorer Double Chance. This lets you wager on 2 players to score; if one finds the net, you win.

What’s more, for each event, you’re able to open a pop-up window packed with useful information to help you make your prediction. So, for example, for a football match, you’ll be able to see the league table, past head-to-head matches, the form of both teams, and stats on goals scored.

While football clearly benefits from the widest selection of betting markets, STSBet also delivers elsewhere. We looked at tennis, handball and basketball and found between 30 �50 markets available for each sport.

Of course, it’s all well and good to be spoilt for choice, but do the odds represent good value? As you might know, this is the stage of the review where we calculate the odds overround. This tells us the bookmaker’s margin (their expected profit) from each sporting event. For any sporting event, the percentage of all outcomes combined is 100%. However, when you calculate this on a bookie, the total will amount to over 100% because it will include the overround. As a general rule of thumb, any value lower than 110% will present the punter with a decent betting opportunity.

Let’s put this in action. Using our betting margin calculator, we worked out the overround of a Premier League match, a tennis French open match, and a basketball NBA match. The results were as follows: 105.98%,106.03%,108.66%. Thus, we can confirm that STSBet back up their great selection with valuable odds.

Esports

STSBet’s esports product is every bit as brilliant as its sportsbook counterpart. It’s got a beautifully designed page where, at the time of writing this STSbet review, players can select between loads of major esports: CS:GO, DOTA 2, League of Legends, Overwatch, Starcraft, Starcraft 2, King of Glory, Rainbow Six and e-football. On top of that, for each game, you’ll find an excellent range of markets to punt on. For example, for the League of Legends World Championship, most matches had over 40 betting lines, including Match Result, Kills Handicap, Both Teams to Slay, Race to Kills and Total Kills Markets.

Other Specials

On top of STSBet’s sports portfolio, you’ll also be able to wager on major political events from across the globe, such as the winner of the next US Presidential Election – you’ll even be able to vote on the winner of every state. On top of that, there are markets for beloved TV shows like Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing with the St??a?rs.

Cash Out & Bet Builder

It’s time to talk about two integral features to sports betting: Cash Out & Bet Builder. Which betting sites offer cash out and how it works?

Cash Out is available on selected events, including pre-match and in-play/live markets. You can tell if Cash Out is offered on the market you’re eyeing if you spot the special ($) icon. If this isn’t there, you won’t be able to cash out at any time. To Cash Out, all you’ll have to do is click on the ($) icon or the Cash Out button in your open bet or bet history details. This can also be done on your mobile or tablet.

On the other hand, STSBet do not offer a Bet Builder feature, which is a shame si??nce it’s become of the key components of many sportsbooks in th?e UK.

STSBet’s live betting arena continues in the same vein as their pre-match product when it comes to the quantity of sports and markets on offer. For every event you click on, you’ll find a scoreboard and a stats section which obviously varies depending on the sport.

In terms of live streaming, you can check which events are scheduled to be broadcasted by ticking the video box in the top-right corner of the calendar page. At the time of the writing, there were no upcoming streams. This could be a case of bad timing, but it also suggests that STSBet aren’t going to shower you with streaming options.

STSBet is a fully licensed operator, holding a permit from the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC). The website is further certified by eCOGRA, a non-profit player protection organisation that oversees fair gaming.

Furthermore, STSBet are dedicated to ensuring responsible gambling, and this is proved by the array of tools players have access to. As mentioned earlier, players are required to set deposit limits when they create an account, and they can also use a betting limit tool to control how much money is spent during a fixed period. Furthermore, the reality check tool is there to avoid you losing track of time by sending you reminders. These can be adjusted from the My Profile section of the site.

From the same section, you can opt to take a break from gambling by using the time-out option, which will let you temporarily lock your account for up to 6 weeks. If you want to lock it for longer or permanently, the self-exclusion option will offer you this. You can also sign up free of charge with GAMSTOP, which will let you restrict your online gambling activities on any UK website.

If you have any question or queries, you can get through to the STSBet assistance team through a variety of paths. Firstly, we found the FAQ page to be quite helpful and designed better than many of the low-effort attempts on other websites. Moreover, the live chat feature is available 24/7, which is an encouraging sign that this bookie is committed to helping their players. We tested it out on a few occasions; we asked about the VIP programme, live streaming, and responsible gambling, and each time we were met by a friendly, responsive agent.

If you prefer a less immediate route, then you can contact STSBet via email on [email protected]. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to have your question answered by an actual voice since STSBet don’t offer telephone support.

We’ll be completely honest here: STSBet has one of the best websites designs we’ve seen. The main blue and orange colours combine magnificently to induce vibrance and energy, and the dark background ??provides perfect contrast for the overlaying white text. On top of that, you have the legendary Peter Schmeichel beaming a smile at you on almost every page. What more ??could you ask for?

On top of having a gorgeous design, the STSBet website is a breeze to navigate through. The main sections of the site are neatly displayed alongside each other at the top of the page. On the left, you’ll find the sports list which functions as a filtering device to narrow down your options. If yo?u know exactly what you want, you can use the search bar to get there quickest.

The STSBet mobile platform is another strength, although the lack of an app is a drawback. Players will have to make do with using the browser, which will irk some more than others.

It’s still easy to flow from one betting market to another since everything is tidily positioned, and placing bets is no hassle at all really. We had no problems with the loading time either, which is key to enjoyable? mobile gamblin??g.

Players who want to spin the reels or play a few hands of poker will be chuffed with the casino side of things at STSBet. The welcome offer is a generous matched bonus up to £100 when you deposit between £10-£100. You can’t take advantage of both the sports and casino welcome bonuses, though, so choose wisely!

As for the library of games, there’s over 1,3000 slots alone to try your hand at, supplied by big name software providers such as Microgaming, Netent, Play'n Go, and Yggdrasil. There are also a host of table games, and a live casino section which offers some fantastic HD action on roulette, blackjack, poker, baccarat and more.

STSBet have built an exquisite website with a wealth of betting options. They displayed competence in all the areas punters need, so we’re more than happy to give them a top rating. That being said, we would love to see a VIP programme, mobile app and more streaming options to elevate them to next level. Make no mistake though �this is definitely a quality operator.

Creating an account with 888sport is a 3-step process which only takes a couple of minutes. First, you are required to enter some general information, including your name and surname, email, date of birth, country of origin and gender. Second, you need to create your username and password, as well as a? security question and answer.

Finally, you need to enter your residential address, mobile number and occupation, and choose which currency you would like to wager in. You can choose between GBP, EUR, USD or SEK. Once all this information is entered, your account will be registered. You are not required to make any deposits when registering with 888sport, which gives you the freedom to explore all the features the betting site has? to offer before spending any of your mone?y.

888sports offers a truly insane amount of payment methods for its players. Some of these options include VISA and MasterCard debit cards, Payz (formerly ecoPayz), iDebit, INTERAC Online, MuchBetter, NETELLER, PayPal, Skrill, Trustly??, and Wire Transfer. You can also make withdrawals into your account when using all these payment methods to make a deposit.

Further deposit options that can’t receive withdrawals include Apple Pay, Bank Transfer, Diners Club, paysafecard, and PurplePay. When making a deposit with a debit card, e-wallet or pre-paid option, you are required to deposit a minimum of £10. Online and offline banking methods are more varied, with minim?um deposit limits ranging from £10 for online bank transfers up to £50 for wire transfers.

Whilst 888sport processes withdrawals within 1 working business day, it can take 2-3 business days for the money to go into your account for internet transfers such as PayPal and Skrill, and up to 8 business days for debit cards. The minimum withdrawal limit for the f?ollowing payment methods is £3 (or the equi??valent in other applicable currencies): Skrill, NETELLER, PayPal, debit card and MuchBetter.

NB: As of April, changes in UK legislation means that online bettors will no longer be allowed to make deposits using a credit card.

For those of you who are still apprehensive about how this all works, we’re going to take you through our deposit and withdrawal process so you can see exactly what it involves.

Firstly, hit the ‘add funds' button clearly marked at the left-hand side of your home screen. From here, you’ll be able to choose your preferred payment option and how much you would like to add. We used VISA and found it worked pretty much instantly. One really important thing to note is that if you want that Welcome Bonus, you will need to enter the bonus code 30f (correct at the time of writing). As you can see, there’s also customer service live chat available to help you if you get stuck at any point. Hit the deposi??t button and you are good to go.

Once this is completed, you shoul??d be ?able to see your balance has gone up by the selected amount, and it should be pretty much instant (it certainly was for us). So, if this does not change in a matter of minutes, be sure to check what is going on with customer service.

From there, you can place your bet on whatever you wish; although do keep in mind that if you want to qualify for that welcome bonus, the odds must be above evens. We went with Manchester City over Real Madrid, because, all thing considered, it felt like t??hey ha??d decent odds.

That bet won, meaning that we now had £23.50 to withdraw. You can check your account after your wager to see your results and winnings.

Head to the same screen as you did for deposit, but select withdrawal on the left-hand side – here you’ll be able to withdraw the amount you want via the same method used to deposit. Simply enter and confirm the amount you would like to take out, as seen in the box above.

Hit the big orange withdrawal button and you are good to go.

On your account you can keep track of your withdrawal process, which as you can see will be processed internally w?ithin one day via your account screen.

After the bet is settled, you should also receive confirmation of your bonus funds via the rewards section next to your account. This will tell you what you have available, what they are valid fo?r and when they expire.

Shortly after we received our winnings, and that was all there was to it. As you can see, 888sport has done everything they can to ?make this process as quick and as simple as possible.

The 888sport Sign Up Offer consists of a free bet bonus to the value of £30. To benefit from this promotion, simply use the code 30FB when registering an account and place your first bet with £10 or more on any market with odds of 1/2 or greater. Once your bet is settled, you will receive your £30 free bet. Your initial £10 wager can include as few or as many selections as you wish, and the £30 free bet will expire after 7 days if left unused. It is important to note that if you make your first deposit using PayPal, Entropay, Paysafe, Neteller, or Skrill, you will be un??able to redeem this promotion. As is the case with most welcome offers, 888sport will not refund you the free bonus stake, but will pay out any profits to you in cash.

In addition to the welcome offer, 888sport offer other exciting sportsbook promotions. At the time of writing, these include a free bet bonus as well as a refunded free bet.

If you are a gutsy punter, then the free bet bonus is the one for you! 888sport will award you with a £5 free bet every day when you back a 4/1+ winner on any market. You will need to need to wager a minimum of £10 to qualify for the offer and each player is el??igible for ?one bonus every day. Awarded bonuses which are not used within 7 days will be forfeited.

VIP/Loyalty Programme

888sport offers its players both a loyalty programme as well as a VIP bonus. With its Premier Player Club, you can win up to £50 in cash depending on how much you bet in the previous week (Monday-Sunday). To benefit from this loyalty programme, all you have to do is play �and the more you play, the more you win! Wagering between ??£50-£249 on single or multiple bets with odds of 1/2 or higher will get you a £5 reward, whilst wagering £3,000 or more can get you £50 back. This p??rogramme applies to selected players only.

888sport’s VIP bonus is called Big Bet Bounty, and consists of a VIP acca competition where you can win up to £888 worth of free bets each week. Each week, players compete against each other for a sha?re of the £2000 prize, so the bigger your winning accas, the bigger your free bet will be. There is a maximum of one leader board entry per member.

At the time of writing, players at 888sports can wager on no less than 30 different sports, ranging from the popular football, tennis, and horse racing to the more niche ones like badminton, sumo and Australian rules. Within each sport, you can choose from dozens of leagues features matches from all around the world. Ever wanted to place a wager on a football match in Uganda? Or Myanmar? Or maybe even Kuwait? Well, at 888sport, you can! The number of markets and submarkets available to play on is equally impressive, with the top football match of the day boasting a solid amount of 385 submarkets to choose from. All popular markets are covered, including the likes of draw no bet, half time/full time, and total team goals.

A great sportsbook means nothing, however, if the bookmaker’s odds are not competitive. In order to assess whether 888sport offers quality margins, we used the odds overround. This is a figure which consists of the probability of all selections in a match coming true. Naturally, this should come to 100%, but it does not take the bookie’s profits into consideration. It is therefore typically understood that having an overround of less than 110% is acceptable. To assess 888sport’s margins, we looked at 3 random football matches from the English Premier League, the Spanish La Liga, and the German Bundesliga. The results came to 104.7%, 104.9%, and 106.5% which suggest that, overall, 888sport does offer quality odds. If you would like to calculate the odds overround for a match of your choice, we’ve created a handy overround calculator o??n our website which you can access using the link above. You? can choose to use fractional, decimal, or American odds on 888sport.

Esports

On 888sport you can bet on a whole host of different esports, including Call of Duty, CS:GO, Dota 2, League of Legends, Magic: The Gathering, Overwatch, and Rainbow 6. They also count to the list of FIFA betting sites, so that esoccer is covered as well. Unfortunately, at the time of writing there are only a couple of markets per match available to bet on. Given the rate at which the world of esports has exploded over the last few years and the huge betting potential that it brings with it, this is definitely an area where we think 888sport could improve its offering.

Other Specials

If you feel like taking a break from sports betting, 888sport gives you the opportunity to bet on a wide range of other specials, including politics, TV & novelty bets. Want to place a wager on who will win the next US general election, get eliminated next on Love Island, or come out on top at the Oscars? You can do all that on 888sport.

Cash Out and Bet Builder

Given its status as a renowned betting site, it should come as no surprise that 888sport offers a Cash Out feature for its players. If you’re feeling uncertain about your choice of bets, cashing out early can mean the difference between getting back some winnings or losing it all. 888sport also provides a very useful Bet Builder feature though which players can create their own bets. You can c??hoose some of the most popular markets from either pre-match or in-play games to build your bet and watch as the odds are compiled instantly. The only limit is your imagination!

888sport’s in-play betting experience is fantastic, with thousands of in-play betting events every single day. Live matches are displayed in virtually all of the sports mentioned earlier, and you can choose to bet on dozens of in-play markets. Once a specific match is selected, there is also an animated graphic which shows live match updates as well as crucial match statistics. In terms of live streaming, if horse racing is what you fancy, you will be pleased to note that 888sport now stream live from every single race track in in Britain and Ireland �that’s 85 racecourses! To take advantage of this feature, all you have to do is wager a £1 or a 50p each way bet. In addition to the their in-play section, 888sport also features a ‘Starting Soon�tab, where you ca??n see what matches are starting shortly and plan your bets accordingly.

When it comes to security of its players, 888sport is way ahead of the pack. The company is licensed and regulated by the Great Britain Gambling Commission.

Ensuring that its players engage in responsible gambling seems to be a big priority for 888sport. The bookmaker adheres to the standards set out by the third-party player protection agency eCOGRA and has set numerous company tools to protect its players. Firstly, the site provides links to internet security providers such as Cyber Patrol and GamBlock which can help parents stop their unattended minors from accessing gambling sites. Secondly, you can set Self-Limits on?? your ac??count to control the maximum amount that you will be allowed to deposit. You can do this online through the site’s cashier service.

You can also set Game Time Reminders to alert you when you have been actively betting for an excessive amount of time. Finally, you can set Take a Break periods or Self-Exclusions. With a Take a Break period, your account will be suspended temporarily for a period of time that you set yourself. This can range from 24 hours all the way up to six weeks. A self-exclusion is a more permanent suspension starting from a minimum of six months. Once enforced, self-exclusions are irrevocable and once the period has ended, you will need ?to contact a member of staff t??o reactivate your account.

888sport also has an extensive privacy and cookie policy which states how your data is collected and used, and provides tips for identifying spoofed emails. The company guarantees that there are no forms of spyware, malware or firmware on its site. Should you for any reason wish to make a complaint, resolve a dispute, or make a legal claim, the bookmaker also has a straightforward complaints procedure which you can use at your convenience.

On the 888sport website, you can find a very robust FAQs section where detailed answers to the most common queries are provided by the bookie to ensure that questions can be resolved in the least amount of time possible. If you think you are unable to find what you are looking for, however, you can contact 888sport’s customer support service 24/7 by toll-free phone, email, or through their live chat function. Support is offered in 8 different languages, including English, French, Portuguese, Polish, Finni?sh, Spanish, Russian, and Norwegian.

However, we weren’t just going to take 888Sport’s word for it and decided to check out each of their customer service options ourselves, beginning with the live chat.

You’ll find live chat either during the banking or registration process, or more generally as part of your account page.

They offer you the option to find answers from their FAQs first, after which you then need to type in “live chat�and once again confirm y??ou wish to proceed before getting throug?h.

We think all these steps are a little bit of an overkill, but overall, it’s a small complaint, and is obviously there to stop their team getting clogged ?up with issues that can otherwise be solved via th??e FAQ section.

In terms of how long you'll take to wait in the queue, we contacted them during peak hours and were given an expected waiting time of 7 minutes; however, they got back to us well within 5.

We asked them whether we needed to meet any wagering requirements for our free bets – they said no, and also went into more detail about relevant terms and conditions. So, they really went above and beyond what we asked them and were very helpful.

We also contacted them via email. There was actually an issue with getting back into the account-  probably just due to a typo on our part – so we emailed them and asked them to reset the password.

They got back to me in around 4 minutes, which is actually a touch faster than live chat, although this was during their off-peak hours. Both options are terrifically quick. And because of this, we were able to get back into the account in around 5 minutes, so two thumbs up for this interaction.

Finally, there’s the phoneline, which is open between 9 am and midnight. One really great thing that we found out was that if they aren’t able to take your call right away, you can get a call back by simply selecting ��on your phone keypad. We did this and got a callback a few minutes later. We asked why our promotions weren’t showing up b?ecause we didn’t realise you had to go into the rewards section to find them, and they were very friendly and helpful in talking us through this process.

It doesn’t take much to see that 888sport’s interface is wonderfully designed. The site has a simple, modern layout, with an orange and black colour scheme that is instantly recognisable and does not rely on any cheap gimmicks to draw attention. All the information is laid out nicely and it is extremely easy to navigate through the different sections of the site. Overall, the site is very user friendly and would likely even appeal to the least tech-savvy individuals out there. 888sport can be used in 7 different languages,?? including English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Russian, and Finnish.

If you are relatively new to the world of betting, 888sport provides a very comprehensive Betting Rules section which explains the different terminology and types of bets that can be made on the different sports. The bookie has also developed a handy Bet Calculator so that you can work out exactly how much you could earn from your bets. 888sport has also created a detailed blog featuring all sorts of content including information a?bout upcoming matches, betting tips, previews and predictions.

What we especially like is the comprehensive sports statistics section of the site, where you can choose a sports, a leag??ue, and/or individual teams and read up on some important information, including team news, league tables, head-to-head records and more. These statistics could prove vital when it comes to making an informed bet.

The 888sport mobile app is available to download for free for both iPhone and Android users. Just like the main site, on the mobile app you can bet on thousands of markets across a wide range of sports, both pre-match and in-play. A key feature on this app is the search bar, which lets you find markets, sports, teams, and prices with a single tap. Furthermore, with one account, you can use the mobile app to play Poker, Bingo and 888 Casino games �perfect for the ultimate gambling experience. We have to say that, when compared to some other top betting sites UK, this app does feel a little slow and occasionally glitchy, though we have no? doubt? that this could be easily resolved with a few bug fixes.

Anybody who is familiar with the 888 brand knows that it is a prominent figure across a wide range of gambling sectors. In fact, the bookmaker operates casino, poker, and bingo platforms for its users to enjoy. Their casino platform is particularly extensive, featuring slot and jackpots, casino games, and live casino.

888 is one of the most trustworthy betting companies in the world, and with more than 1 million registered users, it is clear that their sportsbook product is no different. As we mentioned earlier in this 888sport review, this company really leads the way in terms of player safety and security. The bookmaker offers a vast number of sports to bet on and features some extremely competitive odds, as well as lots of exciting promotions throughout the year. We have to admit that we would have liked to see some more markets to play on; however, this might not be a problem for many bettors who like to stick the most popular ones. 888sport is one of the leaders in payment ??processing and with such an extensive range of payment options to choose from, it is not difficult to se??e why. All in all, this is a bookmaker where you know you are going to get both an enjoyable as well as a reliable betting experience, and if you are looking for a new place to bet, we would definitely recommend checking out 888sport.

BetGoodwin is a relative newcomer to the online bett??ing industry, but it’s clear that it has used its extensive experience from its traditio?nal phone betting service in its website.

As ??someone who enjoys betting on horse racing, I was extremely impressed by its outstanding horse racing coverage, featuring an incredible array of markets, competitive odds, and unique £100 free bet bonuses. Having sampled a number of betting sites, I feel there are? few operators that provide a more comprehensive experience for betting on horse racing.

Although the rest of the product is fine for betting on other sports like football, but you will find a better experience elsewhere as it lacks detail, especially for bonuses. I do feel there are other areas of ?improvement regarding the quality of the overall betting experience both on the desktop platform and the mobile app.

BetGoodwin provides a safe and trusted platform for customers to bet online, offering the latest encryption software to protect personal and financial details. It also provides two-way verification to ensu??re that only you can access your account online on its desktop and mobile apps, including a PIN code and face ID.

With over 25 years�betting experience, BetGoodwin established itself as a reliable operator and is licensed in the United Kingdom through the UK Gambling Commission.

It promotes responsible gambling through GAMSTOP and GambleAware, as well as through various tools?? such as deposit limits, time-outs, and self-exclusions, along with the ability to block gambling payments made from your bank to their platform.

You’ll find all the details of its responsible gambling m?ethods on the site itself, along with a privacy policy that highlights all of the secur?ity measures in place.

A look at Trustpil??ot shows that there have been no issues regarding security breaches online. As a new user, I found the security protocols to be solid, while ?customer support agents were fast to answer any questions I had.

I found the registration process with the bookie straightforward and easy to complete.

It r?equires only two steps where you have to fill out your personal information and create your accou?nt with a username and secure password.

No further details or steps were required, and there is no promo code ?required to unlock the welcome offer either.

To start the sign-up proces??s, click the ‘Jo??in�button on the desktop site or app. After you do so, the below pop-up will appear.

The first step requires your personal details. You’ll need to fill them in in order t?o advance? to the next stage.

You then have to fill out ?your email address before creating your username and password.

Aft?er agreeing to the terms and conditions, you’ll have completed the final part of the pr?ocess!

? There are no KYC requirements for BetGoodwin to complete your registration.

BetGoodwin has a number of horse racing welcome offers that give users up to £100 in free bet refunds. The minimum stake to qualify for these offers is £10, and f??ree bets are credited within 24 ho??urs. These offers apply to cash stakes only.

No promo code is required to unlock the offers, making the process of obtaining and using? the bonuses straightforwa?rd.

Welcome Offer Key Terms & Conditions

18+ If you place a win or each way single bet in any UK or Irish Horserace and your selection finishes second beaten by the official distance of a nose we will refund the win part of your losing stake as a free bet. Minimum stake to qualify for this offer is £10 win or £10ew. Full T&Cs apply. Bet Responsibly. GambleAware.org.

You can easily transfer funds to your account by clicking the ‘Deposit�button on the desktop site or app. Then, complete the simple steps outl?ined bel??ow.

Step 1: Confirm your address, proving?? that you’re a UK resident.

Step 2: Select your chos??en debit card from Visa, Mastercard, or Maestro before entering your deposit amount.

Step 3: Tick the receipt box and click the yellow button to confirm your d??eposit.

I found the process to be simple given the relative lack of options. However, you’re limited to only using a debit card, which is disappointing given the r??ange of alternative methods that are available on othe??r betting sites, including e-wallets.

In better news, though, the minimum d?eposit of £10 is slightly higher than the rest of the in?dustry, where you can be expected to deposit as little as £5, depending on whether you need to unlock the welcome bonus with a qualifying amount.

Th??e welcome offer has no obligatory deposit bonus, but bear in mind you do need to bet at least £30 with three £10 wagers to participate.

You need to place your three bets on the first day of your registration with the bookie, and you can expect up to 50% of your losses returned as a free bet with?? maximum value of £25.

How To Place a Bet

Placing a bet with BetGoodwin is straightforward, and follows the same overall process for any online b?ookie. Simply enter the event page of the game or outright market you wish to? bet on and select the odds, or multiple odds for a bet builder.

?? Your bet slip on the site will appear on the right side of the desktop screen and at the bottom of your mobile screen. After that, enter your wager amount and confirm your? wager.

In a nutshell, I found? placing a bet with BetGoodw?in to be very swift and efficient.

Withdrawing Funds

The withdrawal process ??follows the same pattern as depositing funds. You simply need to click the ‘My account�button at the top right of the screen before selecting ‘Withdraw�

You’ll then have to select your withdrawal amount and payment method, although this part is simple because you can only use a debit card. Once you’ve conf??irmed your amount, confirm your withdrawal from BetGoodwi?n.

However, the negatives outweigh the positives here. I find it disappointing that there are so few payment methods available, and? the processing time to secure your withdrawal can t?ake up to five days, depending on your chosen bank.

I also don’t like th??e fact that withdrawal fees are charged for a lack of betting activity or funds that amount to less than 50% of the amount you deposited. On top of this, the charge is at least £3.00 and can be up to 5% of your requested withdrawal amount.

It’s not good enough compared to BetGood??win’s rivals, who don’t apply charges for withdrawals.

If you love horse racing, BetGoodwin offers the perfect promotions for your betting needs. There are four outstanding offers for betting on a wide range of races, with up to £100 in free bets if your horse loses on the track.

You can claim these offers for beaten by a nose, beaten by under a length in a ?chase, falling at the last, and when second after losing to a horse 50/1 or more.

These promotions all follow the same principle, refunding your wager up to £100 should your horse lose by th??o??se four results.

You must p??lace a minimum bet of £10 on the winner or each-way to qualify for all four of these promotions. Lucky 15?? and other multiple wagers are not eligible in the offer.

Other than these, BetGoodwin also offers a Best Odds Guaranteed promotion for all UK and Irish races involving horses or greyhounds. If the starting price has greater odds than the price you used after 10am on the day of the race, the bookie ensures that it wil??l pay out at the best prices available so you won't miss out on the optimum value of your wager.

?? Unfortunately, there are no oth??er betting promotions available at this time on other sports, including football.

VIP Programme

At the time of writing, the bookie does not provi??de a VIP programme at the time of writing. When I asked customer support about this, they were hopeful there would be one available in the future, directing me to their promotions page as an alternative for the time bein??g.

Loyalty Progamme

There is currently no loyalty programme available for BetGoodwin. Again, this is disappointing as many of its rivals have such schemes in place to r??eward loyal customers. I was again directed to the promotions page upon enquiring further.

Sports

BetGoodwin provides coverage for 30 sports on both desktop and mobile, with its main f??ocus being on horse racing and football. Other sports include American football, basketball, cycling, da??rts, and even alpine skiing.

Football is covered in great depth, featuring over 100 betting markets for Premier League wagering. You can bet on match results, over/unders, handicaps, props and outrights. One aspect that could be improved is its offering for specials such as manager and player transfers markets.

Horse racing is also extensiv?e with markets available on races around the world. The more notable the race, the more betting options will be available. For a standard race, there will be options for betting on the winner, each-way, top two or three finish, and betting without the favourite. For leading races, you can expect a lot more detail, with usually over 20 markets provided.

Both football and horse racing have excellent coverage of outright markets, especial?ly for foo?tball where there are over 50 options available.

Horse racing covers all major races over a year in advance, such as the Epsom Derby and Cheltenham Festival.

 The other sports available d??o not have such extensive coverage, but there are still a good rang??e of bets available. For outright betting, the American football section caught my eye with over 30 betting options available on the NFL season.

BetGoodwin provides competitive value across the board on the prices of its odds. Comparing against one of the leading betting sites bet365 for a slate of upcoming Premier League games, there were minimal differences between the two operators for a wide select??ion of games that I reviewed. This was the same across the board for all sports.

In addition, while there is a minimum stake of £0.10, there is no maximum val??ue.

Esports

Coverage of esports is limited to only a few markets and leagues such as League of Legends, Counter?? Strike: Global Offe?nsive, and VALORANT.

At this time, the markets are limited to mat??ch winner and map winner which is underwhelming compared to other betting sites that cover esports more extensively. However, the odds are competitive in the few markets that are available, though you won’t be able to livestream any matches you bet on.

Others

BetGoodwin offers specials betting on politics, focusi??ng on markets from the UK and the US. There are a couple of outright markets available for betting on the UK such as the next prime minister and most seats in parliament. The US market is straightforward, ta?king outright bets on the next president for a select number of candidates.

Cash-Out and Bet Builders

Cash-outs are widely available on a variety of sports. Both full and partial cash outs are possible, with the latter allowing you to take a portion of your winnings out while leaving the rest pending on the full outcome. This is a solid offering overall, although it would be better if cash-outs were universally available on all sports o?ffered by the bookie.

Bet builders are known as ‘Create A Bet�on BetGoodwin and are only available on footba??ll matches, where you combine multiple markets from the same game into one large bet. However, it could stand to improve its offerings on this feature to include other major sports, however.

Ther??e is a good variety of options for live betting, including football, tennis, cricket, base?ball, American football, basketball, and many more.

For major sports such as football, there are a wide range of markets, almost as many as you would have pre-game.

The odds are just as valuable as you would find before the beginning of the event, although bear in mind they do change to reflect the tone of the game as?? it unfolds in real time. There are also no differences for the minimum and maximum stakes i?nvolved.

At the time of writing, livestr???eaming is only available for horse racing. I would like to see this improved to match other betting sites where streaming for football and others is readily available.

I found the customer services team extr??emely helpful with my range of queries.

I asked about deposits, withdrawals, promotions, and features such as the bet builder. My queries were answered promptly and politely by the custo??mer service agents, who were also informative about the issues at hand.

?The only issue is the lack of phone support, which is no?t available for all customers.

Quality of Customer Service
The only language available for customer service is English. The agents were helpful and in??formative. There is also an FAQ section to use for basic queries.

It’s clear from the home page that BetGoodwin is geared towards horse racing, with the latest markets and odds for the sport being the first thing you see when entering the site. It does make it a tad ?cluttered and tough to find other options.

Navigation across different pages? can be slow and a bit laggy, especially if you’re using livestreaming, while the overall design could use some freshening up to improve th?e platform’s appearance.

To sum up, BetGoodwin’s site is decent and allows you to find the key areas to place wagers, register and deposit your funds. However, there are areas for improvement to f?ine-tune the overall look of the betting site to make all processes that bit smoother.

I found BetGoodwin’s app ?to be a good product when I tried it out on my iPhone 12, allowing me to use all of the functions available on its desktop counterpart, including livestream?ing and cash-outs.

The aesthetics are the same as the betting site on desktop, and over??all, the app functions well enough, although there are ??still a couple of issues with the layout being overly focused on horse racing.

However,? when it comes to design and usability, things are a bit rough around the edges when compared to others on the market.

 You may have trouble finding the ‘Contact Us�page, for instance. They made need to look into? these issues on iOS as there have been a few complaints regarding its quality. The same is apparent on Android too.

BetGoodwin only has a sportsbook as this moment in time??, although that could change in the future as the company seeks to expand.

I’ve given BetGoodwin a score ??of 3.4 in my review. I feel that there is a lot there for fans of horse racing betting, especially with its range of outstanding promotions and livestreaming. You’ll struggle to find a better product in this regard.

But elsewhere, it’s lacking in regards to quality with its range of bets and promotions. The product outsid??e of horse racing needs refining and bringing up to ?the standard of other betting sites.

Gamble Responsibly 

Gambling is only enjoyable when you’re betting responsibly, so only use stakes and funds that you’re comfortable losing. If you feel that you have an issue with gambling online, seek help at //www.gambleaware.org/ for more information.

MobileWins claim that the registration process will take you approximately 2 minutes, and they aren’t lying. It’s as simple as it can get: enter your email, create a secure password and input your mobile number.

Then move onto the next stage, which asks for a few more details. Nothing unusual here: name, gender, date of birth, country, address, city and postal code. You can also fill in your occupation, but this isn’t a requirement. Be sure to choose your preferred currency to avoid any unwanted exchange rates, and if you’ve got a promotional code up your sleeve, now’s the time to use it.

Once you hit the flashy gold submit button, you’ll receive a text message with a 4-digit activation number. Enter this on your MobileWins account, and you’re good to go. Unlike many other betting sites, player verification does not take place during the registration process at MobileWins. Rather, you’ll be asked to submit relevant documentation during your first withdrawal.

There’s no shortage of deposit methods at MobileWins, and these can be accessed through the Cashier icon at the top of the page. The minimum amount required varies according to the method, with the lowest being £10, and all deposits are processed instantaneously.

The options include debit cards, bank transfers, PayPal, paysafecard, Trustly, Zimpler, Skrill, Payz (formerly ecoPayz), MuchBetter and crypto wallet BitPay. It’s also easy to top up on your mobile using PayviaPhone, an app that charges your transactions through your phone bill. Keep in mind that there’s a 15% processing fee deducted from every deposit using this method, however.

The same section allows you to make withdrawals, and the choices decrease here. As mentioned earlier, you’ll need to be verified before a withdrawal can take place. This involves submitting a photographic ID (driving license or passport will do) and copies of a utility bill as proof of address.

The listed methods are as follows: Debit cards, bank transfer PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, Trustly and Payz. Debit cards and bank transfer withdrawals take about 3-7 days till they are transferred into your account, while the other methods shouldn’t take more than 3 days. One major drawback is the £2.50 processing fee for withdrawals, whi??ch won’t please any players to say the least.

Every new player wins at MobileWins, thanks to a free bet with a deposit of at least £10. The offer is only redeemable on your first deposit and does not apply to players depositing using Skrill.

A onetime stake of £30 will be awarded, and this must be placed on a sports bet with odds of at least 1/2 (1.5). Just to be clear, it has to be used as a single bet; it can’t be split into multiple bets. Any potential winnings from this bet must be wagered ten times before it can be converted to real money and subsequently withdrawn. Punters have 7 days to use the free bet and fulfil the wagering requirements.

Here’s the catch �and it’s a big one: the maximum winnings from the free bet are capped at £20. This doesn’t provide much room for good profits, which take??s away from the quality of this bonus.

If you’re on the hunt for a sportsbook that likes to hand out a promotion or two, then this is the place for you. Not only were we impressed with the quantity of promotions of offer, but also with the variety of sports they cater to. At the time of writing, MobileWins were prepared to dish out free £10 bets to players who stake £25 or more in a week on betting on cricket, tennis, rugby or basketball.

We also like the Sports League concept, which rewards the highest ranked players with cash prizes at the end of a month. The more you wager, the fast you’ll climb the leader board. Entry is simple: deposit £10 or more with the code BIB and place a qualifying bet of £50 or more on any sporting event, and you’ll be? promptly added to the leader board.

VIP/Loyalty Programme

As is the case with many betting sites, the Vip Programme is only targeted at casino players.

The MobileWins sports catalogue is brimming with diversity, and the full list is positioned on the left-hand side of the sports betting page. Football, tennis, basketball, volleyball, UFC, cricket, horse racing and more can be found on the list. Each sport is complemented with a selection of local and international competitions, as well as a wide range of betting markets. If you’re wondering what’s on, the Live Calendar does a great job of neatly showing which events to look out for.

Odds are automatically generated in decimal form, but these can be changed to Fractional, American, HongKong, Malay and Indo. Now, are the odds at MobileWins competitive? This is a question only the odds overround can tell us, which is the combined total of priced probabilities across all outcomes of a single event. The larger the overround, the further from the true odds the market in question. Generally, reputable bookmakers do not offer markets ?with an overround above 110%.

At MobileWins, we found the odds overround for a football UEFA Champions League match, a tennis ATP match and a cricket Indian Premier League match. The results were as follows: 105.51%, 108.22%, 105.31%. Although the ATP match came dangerously close to the 110% mark, it appears as though MobileWins�odds are competitive.

Esports

Surprisingly, MobileWins do not have a section dedicated to Esports, so each game is listed as a separate sport. We spotted CS:GO, DOTA 2, League of Legends, Starcraft and Starcraft 2. Each game was rich with exciting tournaments to bet on from all around the world.

Other Specials

If the world of TV & Movies or Politics interest you, then you’ll be happy to find out that MobileWins have a section dedicated to both. In terms of TV & Movies, at the time of writing it was only possible to wager on the Strictly Come Dancing winner. For politics, there were a few more options, with the possibility of betting on presidential elections in France, Australia and the US.

Cash Out & Bet Builder

MobileWins offer cash out on selected events, allowing you to get money back on your bet while events are ongoing. To check whether this feature is being offered for a specific market or event, keep your eyes peeled for the green cash out icon. Some bad news is that there is no bet builder feature at the time of writing, meaning you won’t be able to create your own custom bets.

Live games are located on the left-hand side of the landing page and you can press Live to display them all. Clicking on the Dashboard will show you a schedule for all the upcoming games, and there’s a handy Multiview feature which lets you follow multiple live events at the same time.

When it comes to live betting, there’s an extensive range of markets for in-play matches, although we did notice a lack of fast markets. The in-play graphic is as uninspiring as a football team managed by Tony Pulis, and barely provides any feedback about the game at hand. On top of that, we aren’t sure about which sports can be live-streamed, or whether anything live streamed at all. There is a “with video�icon filter on the events schedule, but no upcoming events were listed.

First things first, MobileWins are licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. The UKGC don’t hand out licenses like smarties; operators have to fulfil several important criteria to obtain one, so this is the first sign of MobileWins�trustworthiness. An extra layer of protection is added with a license from the Malta Gaming Authority, which set standards for online gambling companies to adhere to so that players are protected from exploitation.

MobileWins also demonstrate commitment to responsible gambling. With gambling being as captivating an activity as it is, the danger of getting carried away is always there. That’s why it’s crucial that operators provide players with the right tools and resources to gamble responsibility.  At MobileWins, players can set?? daily, weekly and monthly deposit limits from the Account page.

From the same page, it’s also possible to set reality checks. These are intended to give you the option of setting a time frequency at which you’ll receive a a reminder about how long you’ve been playing. You can adjust the timeframe of every reality check from the Account page.

Players can also set a time-out, which blocks them from playing for a short period of time, or they can go a step further and use the self-exclusion tool to take a 6 to 12-month break. These can be done by sending an email to [email protected]. There are also links to Gamstop and GambleAware – two organisations that can provide expert support – on various pages around the site.

We always start by taking a look at an operator’s FAQ page, and in MobileWins�case it’s quite extensive and covers a ?broad ran?ge of issues.

MobileWins also have a fantastic live chat feature which is available 24/7. This can be accessed by clicking the Support icon followed by Chat with Us. We tested it out on a few occasions to ask about topics such as the welcome bonus and VIP programme, and found the representatives to very responsive, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable.

If you don’t need an immediate answer, representatives can be contacted on [email protected]. However, at the time of writing there is no telephone support available.

The MobileWins website is slick and modern, combining a blend of bold and contrasting colours that look great on the eye. The layout of the site is equally impressive, making it easy to find the event you’re looking for. You can switch between Live and Pre-Match games on the left side of the page, and these can be filtered according to the country and competition.

We also like MobileWins�dedication to providing guides and tips to players on a wide range of betting-related topics, such as different sports markets, blackjack and how to tell if a betting site can be trusted.
