Sportsbet.io Sports Betting Review (2024)

Founded in 2016, Sportsbet.io bases itself on three core principles – fun, fast, and fair. This sportsbook offers a plethora of live events to punt on every month and a variety of betting markets. Sportsbet.io is the main club sponsor of Watford Football Club and the official shirt sponsor of the Brazilian football club, Flamengo.

The purpose of this review is toও rate 🎉the boomaker's various offerings and to determine whether Sportsbet.io is indeed a worthy option for you, the bettor. 

To register at Sportsbet.io, you must click on the green ‘Join now' button, which is present at the top-right hand side of your screen. As can be seen from the above image, the first step of the registration process requires you to select your gender, enter your full name, enter your date of birth, and enter your email address. Click on the green ‘Next' button after you have correctly entered these details.

The second step of the registration process requires you to select your country of residence, enter your mobile number (+44), and enter your full address. Again, click on the green ‘Next' button when you have correctly entered these details.

The final step of the registration process requires you to create a unique username, create a password, confirm the created password, select the representation of odds that you prefer (fract🐻ional), select your preferred currency, enter a bonus code (if any), and set a deposit limit, if you wish to. Yo✅u can set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit, capped at £100,000.

Once you have correctly ente💟red these details, you must tick the box that confirms that you are at least 18 years of age, and that you have understood and accepted the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. If you would like to receive bonus and marketing information via email, SMS, phone call, mail (or a🌸ll), you can tick the respective boxes.

Once you have entered these details, click on the green ‘Create my account' button.

At th💃is stage, your registration is complete. You can choose to d𝓰eposit funds into your account on an immediate basis, or check the odds on offer first. It must be noted that you cannot withdraw funds from your account until or unless your identity has been verified.

You must confirm your identity by uploading a ꦰcopy of your ID card or passport, and a bank statement or recent utility bill that bears your name as proof of address. As soon as the operator has verified your documents, you can withdraw funds from your accountﷺ.

To deposit funds into your account, you must click on the green ‘Deposit' button which is present at the top-right hand side of your screen. Sportsbet.io offers limited payment options – Debit Card, Skrill, and Neteller. The minimum deposit amount starts at £♕10 (£10 for Debit Card, and £20 for Skrill and꧙ Neteller). Deposits are processed instantly.

Unfortunately, the United Kingdom ver🐬sion of Sportsbet.io does not permit cryptocurrency deposits and withdr𝓡awals.

The minimum withdrawal amount starts at £10 as well (£10 for Debit Card, and £20 for Skrill and Neteller). You can withdraw funds via the same payment methods – withdrawals may take up to 5 working days to be processed. As has been mentioned before, you cannot withdraw funds (for the first time) until or unless your identity has been verified. You may have to upload documents to prove 🌄your identity when you initiate a large withdrawal.

Sportsbet.io is not offe💞ring a welcome offer at the time of writing. We h﷽ope that this will change in the near future.

At the time of writing, Sportsbet.io is offering a variety of sports-based promotional offers. You can win up to 50% extra winnings on a placed pre-match accumulator bet. You must place an accumulator bet with 3 or more selections on any sport at individual odds💖 of ½ or greater to qualify. 

Here is how the winning boost scheme works:

You cannot cash out a placed accumulator bet. The maximum extra winnings that you can win, is capped at £10,000. Pulse Bet is an excellent feature, exclusive to the Sportsbet.io's sportsbook app. With the help꧑ of Pulse Bet, you can win big prizes by predicting whether a goal will be scored in the next 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, or 10 minutes of an ongoing football match.

The clﷺoser the goal is to the end period of your chosen time interval, the larger you💖 prize will be. 

Here is how Pulse Bet works:

P𒈔ulse Bet can be used in conjunction with free bets and bonus funds, but is not subject to cashing out. At the time of writing, Sportsbet.io is also offering several other exciting promotional offers which are constantly being updated.

VIP Programme

At the time of writing, Sportsbet.io does not offer a VIP/loyalty programme. A good V♔IP/loyalty programme plays a hand in attracting new customers while keeping old customers happy. While the betting site does offer several attractive promotional offers on a consistent basis, we hope that Sportsbet.io offers a good VIP scheme in time to come.

Presently, Sportsbet.io offers odds on over 15 sporting disciplines. You can punt on a plethora of sports-based betting markets, including football (soccer), horse racing, and tennis, and relatively less popular sporting disciplines, lꦕike snooker & pool and futsal.

A variety of sports-based betting markets is essential when it comes to catering to punters of varying tastes. The minimum stake that you can place on a sports-based betting market is £1. The maximum amount that you can win in a single d🐠ay is capped at £50,000.

On that note, before placing a bet, you should determine the margin of profit that is being charged. You should punt on a ꦉbetting variant with a margin which is nearer to the ideal market mark of 100%, rather than on bett༒ing variants with a margin which is nearer to (or exceeds) the 110% mark.

In essence, the higher this margin is, the lower your chances are of winning a placed bet. To determine this margin of profit, you should calculate the odds overround for a betting variant in question. Check out our dedicated odds overround calculator.

To calculate the odds overround for a betting variant, the first step is to convert the fractional outcomes of a betting variant in question into the decimal form. The second step is to divide each of these individual outcomes by 100. The final step is to add the resulting numbers – with the help of this number, you can determine the margin of profit being charged.

To help you better understand this concept, we calculated the odds overround for a match to be contested between Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig in th꧟e German Bundesli✅ga. The odds overround were found to be 104.58. This is a clear indication that Sportsbet.io offers a good quality of odds, which are competitive in nature, coupled with active betting markets.

Esports

Sportsbet.io offers odds on Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2, League of Legends, Call of Duty, Overwatch, , Warcraft III, Rocket League, King of Glory and StarCraft II.

The number of esports-based betting markets on offer is very high – odds are on offer for several popular tournaments throughout the year. Before punting on an esports tournament, you should go through official rankings, past match results, head-to-head guid𝄹es, past tournament results, team form guides, and even play the underlying game of the ♔tournament in question.

Other Specials

Presently, Sportsbet.io offers odds on TV & Novelty betting markets. You can bet markets such as the winner of Britain’s 🌠Got Talent 2020 and the next James Bond.

Cash Out and Bet Builder

Sportsbet.io offers both Cash Out betting and Bet Builder.

Cash Out is a handy feature that allows you to retrieve a placed bet and potential winnings if you have alre♒ady reaped a significant profit off a placed in-pl𒊎ay bet, or if you feel that you may go on to lose a placed bet.

The amount of money that you retrieve via Cash Out depends on the odds in favour of your placed bet at the exactly when you initiate▨ the cash out. It should beꦛ kept in mind that you should cash out before an event has finished, and that you could end up retrieving more or less than your placed stake.

Bet Builder allows you to create a custom-made bet by combining several selections and outcomes of your choice into a single bet. This feature is available for football🍌 and basketball only – you can combine up to 6 sꦛelections into a bet of your choice.

The bookmaker also offers fast markets for select matc🐭hes. Fast markets allow you to bet on an event which may occur in the next 1 or 5 minutes of an ongoing match. For example, you could bet on the possibility of a free kick, corner, penalty, throw-in and so on being awarded in theℱ next 1 or 5 minutes of an in-play match. If the event goes in your favour, you will win a placed bet.

Unfortunately, you cannot live stream select matches when betting at Sportsbet.io.

Having gone through the betting site’s offerings in detail, we have come to the conclusion that there are many better bookmakers to choose from. That being said, the platform does enough to🎃 be considered a prospect for football punters. There are several pros and cons to betting at Sportsbet.io; however, at the moment, its drawbacks unfortunately outweigh any highlights the bo♛okmaker has to offer.
