About Sportingbet

Active since 1998, Sportingbet is owned by GVC Holdings and serves more than two million customers worldwide. It’s an online casino and bookmaker offering an extensive line-up of sports betting.

As everyone expects these days, the website is fully optimised for mobile access wherever you are, whenever you have a free five minutes.

What’s more, for added peace of mind, it’s licensed in Gibraltar and in the UK by the Gambling Commission.

What can I play on Sportingbet?

There are thousands of daily betting selections, encompassing dozens of different sports alongside numerous special bets. If you’re a basketball fan, you’ll love the range of odds, handicaps and point bets, plus the results and stats on offer for all events.

Other activities include tennis, football (on which this operator is especially strong), and just about any other sport you can think of, including virtual ones. Take your pick from a great selection of matches, leagues and tournaments from Royal Ascot to FIFA’s World Cup, the Australian Open to the Bundesliga.

What’s more, the options when it comes to live betting are second to none.

The operator works with a range of software platforms, mainly NetEnt but also others including Playtech and Betsoft. And while it (understandably) doesn’t offer all games from all providers, it certainly has an impressive range.

You’ll find a diverse catalogue of slots, including some very new releases, as well as classics like Starburst and Jack Hammer.
If table games are more your thing, there’s a decent number of offerings, mainly focused on roulette and blackjack, although you’ll also see some poker and baccarat here. (Video poker, however, is somewhat limited.)

Prefer the adrenaline rush of a more realistic online casino experience? This operator also runs a live casino incorporating an interactive chat feature – you can talk to your fellow players as well as the dealer. Choose from roulette, blackjack or baccarat; it’s hard to see how you could come closer to being in a real venue without actually being in one!

What about the bonuses?

It’s worth staying tuned, since these change every day. But there’s a nice little £10 offer for new UK players, while for sports punters there are accumulators and other deals. Meanwhile, casino players unwrap mystery parcels of cash prizes and free spins, and enjoy daily prize drops and other deals like Friday Payback, alongside weekend promos on the live casino.

How’s the customer support?

It’s not bad at all, and includes live chat. There’s also a phone service, and you can be in touch by email, although customer service isn’t offered 24 hours.

And the banking arrangements?

There’s good choice when it comes to payment options. Deposit using a slew of methods, including Apple Pay, bank transfer, MasterCard, Visa, PayPal, Skrill, Neteller and others. Withdrawals are equally varied, and also include Trustly.

Withdrawals are free, as are deposits apart from those via Skrill and Neteller, for which a 4.9% fee applies. As with most operators, you’ll need to make a minimum deposit. Withdrawal times vary from 24 hours to up to five days – and actually one reviewer has mentioned that these transactions take too long.

Summing up

Sportingbet is considered one of the industry’s most trustworthy online operators, with plenty of variety in terms of betting markets, some excellent promotions and a commitment to constantly updating and improving its services. It also takes fairness and customer security seriously.

With any new moderator, it’s no bad thing to kick off with a few modest bets. Give Sportingbet a sporting chance – and let us know how you get on!
