Karamba Review

Karamba was established in 2005, and although it was initially best known for its casino, the sportsbook has steadily grown to be just a popular in its own right. 

Karamba.com is operated by AG Communications Limited in the UK and by Aspire Global International LTD across the rest of the world. The United Kingdom Gambling Commission handles the licencing and regulation in Great Britain, and the Malta Gaming Authority is responsible elsewhere.  

Karamba also uses industry-standard 128-bit SSL encryption technology to keep your personal details and information safely locked away. 

Along with these sports, there is also a ‘Specials’ category covering world politics, reality TV, awards ceremonies and more.

Karamba has a very impressive range of football options with over 50 countries to choose from. Most have several leagues available, which all adds up to a huge number of wagers. There are also a number of international competitions such as the World Cup, along with all the big UEFA tournaments.

Overall, the market depth is good with over 100 wagers for the big matches but it does drop-off when looking at matches from less-popular leagues. There aren’t as many individual player markets as you would see at some sportsbooks, but nonetheless, all the main bases are covered.

If there is a big tournament underway, chances are Karamba will be running a few bonuses relating to it. If you’re a footie fan, these will definitely be worth checking out. There will likely be offers which can be used to boost your returns or insure your stake. 

Tennis is the most popular sport at Karamba after football with competitions from all over the world. Each of the major WTA, ATP, and ITF singles and doubles tournaments are covered, such as the US Open, French Open, Australian Open, and Wimbledon. There is also coverage of international competitions such as the Davis Cup and Fed Cup. Big singles matches such as the Wimbledon final will have over 40 available markets, but this will drop down to single figures for the doubles matches. 

You can tell that this is a UK-centric sportsbook because after the top 3 categories of football, tennis, and basketball; cricket is fourth on the list. Volleyball is fifth, which is a standard inclusion, but we would usually see ice hockey among that number.

We wanted to see how Karamba had priced its wagers so we took a few random samples from the most popular sports. We then compared these to a couple of similarly-sized sportsbooks, and as you can see the Karamba odds are a little low at times but overall competitively priced. This is also a good indication of why you should always shop around for the best odds on your wagers.

The Karamba live betting platform covers all of the available sports along with a graphical match tracker and real-time statistics. 

It’s easily accessible by clicking the ‘in-play betting’ link in the header menu, and you can choose between an overview or an event view of the available matches. There is also an in-play schedule that shows you which upcoming matches will support live in-play betting. 

The market depth does vary greatly from sport to sport. Popular football matches between two well-known teams will often have around 80 wagers, but a volleyball match may only have 20 to 30.

Karamba has worked hard to ensure that this sportsbook is as easy to use as possible. There is quite a lot of information on-screen at once, but the way it is divided up and categorised makes it very simple to understand at a glance what it is you’re looking at. The use of coloured headers, icons, and individual panels in the market column means that even a complete novice would be able to navigate the options. 

The Karamba login is equally as straightforward. The green ‘login’ button in the top right of the homepage will prompt you to enter your username and password, and there are links here that you can use if you have forgotten either of those. 

Not content with just having a world-class casino, the Karamba founders set out to create a top-quality sportsbook, too. They achieved this by offering a well-curated range of betting products, and here are just a few of them.

The Karamba Cash Out feature enables you to take full control of your wager, whether it’s a simple single bet or a complicated accumulator. Perhaps your bet looks like it is in danger and you want to secure part of your stake, or your acca is in profit and you want to settle it in case the last selection lets you down. You can choose from a full or partial cash out at Karamba, which means that you can leave some money still in play if you wish. You can find out more about the Karamba cash out feature from the ‘Cash Out’ link in the header menu. 

KaramBOOST is a feature which is added to all accumulator bets and it can increase your winnings by up to 77%, which is quite a mark-up. This is free money in a sense because you are getting extra returns for the same level of risk. Certainly worth a closer look if you enjoy placing acca wagers.

The Karamba Fast Markets feature is a really fun addition to the live betting section. Currently, it only applies to football and tennis, but it enables you to bet on a set number of outcomes to occur in the next five minutes of the match. For football, it’s a goal, a corner, a booking, a penalty, a throw-in, a free-kick, or a goal kick. And for tennis, it’s who will win the next game, who will win the next point, the exact score of a service game, and if a game to go to deuce.

The Karamba casino can be accessed by clicking the option at the very top-left of the screen. You’ll instantly be thrown into the action with an incredible amount of video slots. Although there is no poker on offer here, you can play a number of different versions of roulette and blackjack. The live casino also has a good amount of choice, with multiple varieties of blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and Dream Catcher to choose from. 

The range of payment methods at Karamba covers all the main methods. Whether you prefer traditional credit cards, prepaid cards, or e-wallets, you will find a suitable option among these:
