Complete Guide to Sportsbet: Features, Payments, and User Experience

The project was launched in 2016, combining an online casino (slots, Live machines) and an online bookmaker (real, virtual, and cyber sports). The distinctive feature of Sportsbet is that it is a multi-currency gaming wallet emphasizing cryptocurrency. For deposits, gambling, and betting, you can use 12 types of tokens. At the same time, gambling and betting for fiat money are available to players from several countries. As we have checked, the Brazilian gambling public can play with cryptocurrencies and real money (BRL).

Licensing Information

Since its launch in 2016, Sportsbet has been operating based on a master certificate 1668/JAZ issued by the Curacao eGaming regulator. The CEG trademark belongs to Cyberluck Curacao NV, and the company's activities are authorized by the Government of the island's autonomy. The Sportsbet IO owner and the sublicense holder (B2C-GZ29CVGD-1668/JAZ) is mBet Solutions NV. The company is registered in Curacao. The payment operator of the online gambling platform is located in Cyprus. The organization is affiliated with the establishment's owner (subsidiary company) and has a similar name - mBet Solutions Ltd.

In our experience, casinos with an offshore license are less reliable than clubs certified by a national regulator. However, eight years of work experience and a separate payment operator add rating points to the Sportsbet project.

Offer localization

The project is aimed at Asian, partially European, and South American audiences. This is confirmed by the fact that the official Sportsbet website is displayed in 12 languages:

• English, French, German – European audience;
• Spanish, Portuguese – for Latin America;
• Turkish, Arabic – East;
• Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Korean – for Asia.

We have studied the Sportsbet user agreement, and there is no list of prohibited territories. However, you can only play in the club from jurisdictions where gambling and betting are legal at the legislative level (clauses 3.2 and 3.3 of the offer). At the same time, we discovered a useful option. If you try to register from a prohibited territory, the bot on the site issues a corresponding notification and blocks the creation of an account.

Therefore, our team recommends against using VPNs and other IP substitution services to avoid the confiscation of funds (paragraph 3.3 of the user offer).

Safe use

Network packets exchanged with Sportsbet web resources are carried out using the encrypted TLS 1.3 protocol. Activating the Google Authenticator option will provide an even more reliable level of protection for financial savings and personal data. This is a two-step verification feature with an additional access code activated via a QR code. Our team strongly recommends that active players take advantage of this option.

Sections of the site

The Sportsbet home page is designed stylishly and is as informative as possible. The side control panel on the left will help you switch to the required gambling section. The module allocates 10 points for the bookmaker:

• In-play – bets on matches that have already started, an analog of Live;
• Upcoming – bet on upcoming events, the same as pre-match;
• Esports, Rapid Betting, Virtual Sports – three sections for virtual competitions in various sports and racing, racing or running;
• Euro 2024 – a section with the current TOP tournament (content changes periodically);
• 4 sections with lotteries, tournaments and jackpots – Bet Free-6-6, 10M USDT Predictor, 4-3-Free, Sportsbet Jackpots.

The control panel allocates four categories to the casino: slots, favorite machines, Live dealers, and fast (Turbo) games.

Registration process

Persons over 18 years of age can create an account on the project. Registration is implemented in two ways. The first option is the standard one, using email. In the form that opens, you need the following:

1. Indicate nickname, email address, and date of birth;
2. Set password;
3. Highlight the box about reaching 18 and agreeing to the club's rules.
4. Two more fields—country code and telephone number—are optional. We recommend entering this data as well so that you do not have to enter it later.

The second method is automatic (2-3 clicks) registration through a personal account in Google, Telegram, X (Twitter), Metamask, and Line. Both methods are comfortable for the user. The entire registration process takes up to 30 seconds and only requires a small amount of information to be entered.

Verification is carried out at the establishment's request. To do so, you need to send a digital copy of your ID (ID, passport, driver's license) and a selfie with it in your hands.

Player Account

During registration, a single account is formed with a standard gaming account for the casino and bookmaker (real, virtual, cyber sports). Your personal account has five sections; for clarity, we display the account structure in a table.

The personal account focuses more on sports betting than casino games. Another feature is that the cash register is displayed separately and is called up by pressing the Deposit button or the balance status line.

Website usability

The home page design is informative, easy to navigate, and not overloaded with graphics and animation. As a result, the site loads quickly on PCs and mobile devices. The user can switch the theme (day, night) and choose one of 12 languages. These and other settings, including sections (casino, bookmaker) of the project, are displayed on the side panel, greatly simplifying navigation.

Optimization for mobile devices

You can visit the Sportsbet IO website on your phone using a web browser or installing a proprietary application. The mobile version of the home page has similar functionality and differs from the full version in terms of design. The interface and design are adapted to smaller smartphone screen sizes.

The Sportsbet online platform offers two free versions of the mobile application for Android and iOS devices.

Payment and withdrawal methods

Sportsbet clients can make deposits and withdraw winnings using fiat money or cryptocurrencies. Immediately after registration, a user from Brazil receives a universal gaming wallet. The uniqueness of the account is that transactions can be made in natural or 12 types of tokens.

As our team has found out, making fiat money deposits for players from Brazil is only possible after checking the CPF (taxpayer number).

Additionally, we remind you of the standard gambling and betting rules. Withdrawal of money is possible using the method (currency) in which the last deposit was made.

Another helpful note for players. To unblock payments, confirm the email address specified during registration. Just follow the link in the welcome letter from Sportsbet IO.

A standard limit is set for a specific type of token for transactions in cryptocurrencies. There are no maximum limits in this case. AboutThe table shows the limits on financial transactions related to Brazilian reals.

Transactions through cryptocurrency wallets are carried out within 5 – 10 minutes. As our team noticed, messages from the cashier periodically appear in the lower left corner of the home page.

We recommend reading them, as the notifications contain information on which cryptocurrencies are not currently available for transactions.

Customer support

The project has a 24/7 online chat. The main languages ​​of communication with consultants are English, Japanese, and Portuguese (which is especially convenient for Brazilian players). Additionally, information can be obtained in the FAQ knowledge base or upon request via email.

To request a consultation, go to the Help Center section. Next, choose one of the options: Live Chat or Email Us.

In our experience, the chat operator's response is almost instantaneous, regardless of the time of the call.

Casino

The slot machine hall combines slots, tables with Live dealers, and a Turbo Games section. The last section will interest site visitors because it contains slot machines created directly for Sportsbet. Even though the casino is an auxiliary platform for the project, the range of gambling games is quite impressive. Regarding the number and diversity of the lobby, the club is equal to other offshore platforms.

Variety of slots

More than 60 providers represent gambling games in the Sportsbet IO lobby, including eight platform developers with Live dealers. The user's location determines the exact number of suppliers. The total number of halls exceeds 3000 slots. Additionally, the Live Casino section has more than 500 tables with Live dealers.

A solid arsenal of games does not affect the ease of navigation. Classifying the machines by type and other parameters helps you select the right group of machines. Separately displayed:

• reel slots;
• simulators of board games with a bot as a dealer;
• machines for virtual sports (at the same time, this section is available from the bookmaker);
• slot machines with Crash mechanics;
• games with jackpot;
• slots equipped with a bonus purchase function – Buy Feature;
• lotteries and Scratch cards in Instant Win Games format.

Regarding the Live section, our team notes the presence of games from the Evolution provider. The developer is represented by hundreds of tables, including roulette, blackjack, baccarat, gambling shows, and a new type of slot - drum machines, where a professional dealer plays the bonus round. Most machines have two game formats - for money and demo with free credits.

Bonuses and promotions at the casino

This is the project's Achilles heel. Our team did not find any bonuses intended for playing at the casino. The main promotions focus on betting at the bookmaker and in the loyalty program called VIP Clubhouse. Accordingly, the public who comes to play at the casino does not receive a welcome bonus for registration, incentives with free spins or money for deposits, or loyalty program terms aimed at bookmaker clients.

Conclusions

The range of gambling games on the project is not inferior to other offshore clubs with a Curacao license. All types of gambling are represented in the lobby. These are slots, tables, quick games, Live dealers, Crash machines, Scratch cards, and more. Most slot machines have a demo mode with free bets. But you have to play at Sportsbet casino without bonuses. On the other hand, there is no need to transfer money from the prize balance to a real account; wagering incentive amounts 20–50 times.

Sports betting

We found the bookmaker's home page interface very convenient. The side navigation panel allows you to select the type of competition—real (live, pre-match), virtual, or E-sports. The top module focuses the user on a specific discipline. Next, a panel with available events and betting odds is displayed directly.

Games

The bookmaker's range covers 42 disciplines, including current bets – Featured. A separate section is created for TOP competitions - the World or European Football Championships and the Olympic Games. Separately, our team highlights the bet constructor. This option is helpful for advanced players and allows you to create your bet on several events simultaneously:

• outcome of the fight;
• whether both teams will score goals;
• total – more, less, or exact amount;
• number of corners, yellow cards, offsides, free kicks, etc.

The constructor works both in total and for each opponent individually. According to the type of bet, there are two betting options - single and express.

Bonuses

The Sportsbet bookmaker's reward policy is the same for bets on actual events or in the Esports section. Like a casino, the platform offers no registration bonuses (Welcome or no deposit). You can earn cash in cryptocurrencies only with the help of amplifiers (increase the bet odds by 10 - 50%) or in tournaments held regularly on the project.

By the time the review was published, our team had discovered two competitions. The first tournament is the EURO '24 Gateway Show, with a prize pool of 150,000 USD. The winners are rewarded with cryptocurrency credited to the user's account. The second tournament – ​​Euros Group Stage Jackpots, allows you to get free bets and tokens. The competition prize fund is 20,000 USD.

Loyalty program

The project has organized a VIP Clubhouse, where participants are distributed across seven levels. To increase your rank, you must collect loyalty points awarded for bets in a casino or with a bookmaker. We discovered that points for VIP Clubhouse when playing slots and sports betting are calculated differently and depend on status. The details of the loyalty program are shown in the table.

We immediately warn you about the program's main drawback. At the end of the month, all previous achievements are canceled, and the player moves to the initial level and begins to accumulate points again.

Live betting

The option is implemented through the In-play section on the side control panel. It displays matches that have already started and events that will begin at specific intervals. We discovered that the bookmaker has a window for broadcasting live fights, but the option needs to be fixed. Instead of an image, the current event statistics are displayed.

Limits and restrictions

Betting limits are determined by a complex of factors, which include:

• sports discipline;
• league;
• type of tournament;
• player level in the loyalty program;
• time of placing the bet.

For example, the minimum payout for a Euro 2024 match is 0.29 BRL.

Conclusions

The bookmaker offers betting on real sports in 42 disciplines. Both types of betting are available—real-time (In-play) and pre-match. Navigation through bets is implemented perfectly; the interface is intuitive. Bets are accepted in real money and in 12 types of cryptocurrencies. Active players receive boosters (10 - 50% to the odds), participate in tournaments, and earn prizes within the VIP Clubhouse. Among the shortcomings, we note the lack of broadcasts in Live bets and the monthly reset of loyalty program levels.

Betting on Esport

The site for quick bets consists of three sections: Espots, Rapid Betting, and Virtual Sports. This division makes it easier for users to select specific games. Additionally, each section has its internal navigation by disciplines, leagues, and other parameters.

Games

The Espots section contains bets on eSports competitions. Navigation through the section is convenient for players. 18 filters allow you to select events based on several criteria:

• favorite games;
• the entire arsenal of cyber fights;
• simulators only;
• game type – 15 options.

The most representative bets in e-sports are on League Of Legends, Counter-Strike, and Dota2 matches.

Such as Rapid Betting and Virtual Sports; other sections offer bets on virtual sporting events. These are beneficial for players because the time between the bet and the end of the match usually does not exceed one minute.

Limits and restrictions

There are no general limits on the amount of bets. Each slot machine or quick bet event has minimum and maximum limits. Another limitation is related to the player's location. Certain quick games may not be available in some jurisdictions due to local regulations.

Live betting

In the Espots category, you can bet on future and current battles. A broadcast of the match accompanies live bets.

The streaming stream opens automatically in a separate window. The broadcast can be watched without sound or with professional commentators. Fights in other sections of virtual sports are always held live, and video streaming is available.

Conclusions

The range of virtual and cyber sports events on the Sportsbet IO platform is equal to that of well-known bookmakers. You can bet on 15 popular games, including CS, Dota 2, and League Of Legends. At the same time, the bookmaker offers quick bets on virtual sports in various disciplines and leagues. Broadcasts accompany all fights in the listed categories. Another attractive factor for players is the well-organized navigation through virtual and cybersports.
