Greatodds

Rather than a review, this page is more of a preview of Greatodds. Excitement has been building for some months now as to when exactly Greatodds will launch. It’s now been set that this online bookmaker will start taking bets early in 2020.

It will be operated by Sportingbet South Africa. This means it has the advantage of using that bookmaker’s online platform, which as we know, is one of the best in the business.

Greatodds is live and there's a lot for African punters to like about this sportsbook.

In addition to offering betting on a wide range of sports, both pre-match and live, there's a generous welcome bonus on offer when you open an account.

Opening an account takes less than two minutes, and once you make a deposit, you can qualify for a huge 125% deposit bonus.

If Greatodds is available where you live and you're serious about betting, you'll struggle to find many sportsbooks better than these guys.

Football is the most popular sport for betting on in Africa, so it’s no surprise to see Greatodds putting a strong focus on this. The powerhouse European leagues such as the English Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and Serie A tend to dominate but there is much more besides. This includes action from South America, Asia, Scandinavia and, of course, Africa.

Market depth is another key component to assess. You will get well over 100 betting options on the big matches, with all the markets like BTTS, match result, O/U total goals, correct score, double chance, handicaps, half-time and many others. The choice of markets decreases when viewing smaller matches from less-talked-about leagues, but this is standard through the industry in our experience.

Live betting is available on football leagues from around the world, every day.

From Grand Slam events through to ATP, WTA, ITF and Challenger tours, there’s plenty of tennis action to feast on most weeks of the year. Once again, the variety of betting markets is dependent on the players and the event. When the big names are in action, there are always more betting options than you’ll get with a doubles match with unknown names. Many customers like to bet live on tennis because you can wager on a game-by-game basis which is arguably more thrilling.

Popular sports in Africa such as rugby union, cricket and golf are well supported, and there is an abundance of US sports betting opportunities coming from the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL. However, if handball, darts, snooker, volleyball or cycling is what you’re after, Greatodds has you covered there, too. 

There is no live streaming option, but live matches have an animation console, which allows you to follow the action and there are green and red arrows on the bet selections showing you when the odds change.

Greatodds offers a slick betting experience, backed by Sportingbet’s software which is one of the top platforms you can find. Everything is neatly placed to make navigation effortless. There is a highlights section filled with quick links to the most popular events and features, plus a search bar, which is great if you already know the match you want to look at. Along the top, you have the ‘Promotions’ page. We recommend you check this out each day to see what the latest offers are.

Innovation in user experience is what all online bookmakers are continually striving for. Greatodds sportsbook promises a wealth of products and features to make your time spent on its platform both entertaining and rewarding. The promotions currently available are limited, but expect to see many offers launched in due course, including:
