Sportsbet.io Review

You may have noticed Sportsbet.io as the Main Club Partner for Watford FC for the 2019/20 season. It is owned and operated by mBet Solutions NV, which is fully licenced and regulated by the Curaçao Gaming Control Board. The CGCB is one of the main governing bodies in the online betting industry, so anything they put their name to is sure to be a legit operation.

You can place wagers using either traditional currency or crypto at Sportsbet.io. This is made possible by the Coingaming.io Bitcoin Sports and Casino Gaming platform, however, it is not an exchange. You can’t convert money from one currency to another, e.g. bitcoin to dollars.

With 30 sports to choose from, you have plenty of choice at Sportsbet.io. All the big global categories are here along with some niche favourites: 

The specials market, rather than covering the usual TV shows, elections, and awards ceremonies, is more like a ‘bet of the day’ category. It will have wagers such as “will player X or player Y score in regular time?’. 

Soccer is the main draw at Sportsbet.io, so you’ll find it atop the list of sporting categories in the sidebar on the left of your screen.

There are over 30 countries to choose from, along with some amateur and international leagues and tournaments. These cover both national and club competitions, such as the World Cup and Copa America as well as the Champions League and the UEFA Super Cup. 

The market depth does vary considerably depending on the popularity of the league and the teams that are playing. Most reasonably-popular matches will have at least 40-50 markets, with bigger games, such as Manchester United vs Inter Milan for example, attracting around 90. The most popular international matches may have over 100. 

Due to the popularity of the big soccer tournaments, Sportsbet.io will often advertise bonus bets and promotions to encourage punters to sign up and bet. These can often be used to boost your bankroll, but remember to always read the terms and conditions before you claim anything.  

Tennis is second on the list of sporting categories, and again it has a great selection of choices. There are options for all the ATP, WTA, ITF, Challenger, and Davis Cup matches, with many of the games being streamed live on the website. You’ll find all the most popular tournaments, such as Wimbledon, the Australian Open, the French Open, and US Open.

The big singles matches here will have over 20 markets. This will drop to only a handful for the less popular players and right down to only the ‘match winner’ market for the doubles. 

Below football and tennis in the popularity rankings at Sportsbet.io are cricket, baseball, and basketball. It’s unusual to see cricket among this number as ice hockey is usually up there, but with the Watford FC deal Sportsbet.io is obviously pushing to appeal to the UK fans.

There is currently only English, Indian, and International cricket, but this is likely to increase as demand requires. The market depth is good, with over 80 wagers on some of the big English matches.

Baseball has a similar amount of choice with the USA, Japan, and Mexico being the available countries, however, there are only around 15 wagers for most matches. Basketball fares slightly better, with USA, Philippines, Uruguay, and some International competitions available. The big matches here will have over 40 markets. 

We know that Sportsbet.io has a great range of sporting categories, but we wanted to see how the prices compared to its competitors. We took a few random samples from some of the most popular sports and checked them against a couple of similarly-sized sportsbooks.  As you can see, Sportsbet.io appears to be offering very competitive odds right across the board. With the use of the Price Boost offer, which we’ll explain later, these odds could be made even better.

Live in-play betting can be accessed at Sportsbet.io by clicking the ‘in-play’ button at the top of the sidebar. You’ll be presented with the current available sports displayed as icons along the top of the page, and clicking your selection will bring up the matches which are being played.

Most games will have 20-30 markets, depending on their popularity, and keep an eye out for the green ‘watch live’ tag. These matches are being streamed on the website, so if you’re a registered punter you can watch them for free. Even if your match isn’t being streamed live, all games have a graphical match tracker and live statistics updates to keep you informed of what’s happening. 

The Sportsbet.io website has one of the cleanest and most intuitive layouts that we’ve seen. Everything is easily accessible and easily understandable, even for a complete novice, with every menu and options exactly where you’d expect it to be. The navigation around the website is smooth and Sportsbet.io hasn’t tried to cram too much information onto each page. 

The Sportsbet.io login is equally simple; just click the sign-in button in the corner of the screen and input your username and password. You can even sign in using Facebook or Twitter, which is even easier. 

The range of betting products at Sportsbet.io is one of the things that lifts this sportsbook head and shoulders above its competitors. Here are just a couple of the features that we loved.

The Sportsbet.io fantasy section is like an entirely separate betting site within the Sportsbet.io sportsbook. There are a huge number of pools per sport, each with their own entry fee and a prize total which can be up to $10,000. All you have to do is select your chosen players without going over the salary cap, then watch the game unfold and see if you can climb the leaderboard to win the top prize.  

The Player Props feature is an innovative betting product which allows you to build a customised wager for an individual player of your choice. Currently, this is only available for the AFL, NFL, MLB, EPL, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and NCAA basketball and football. There are currently three varieties: stat, head-to-head, and trios. Stat is in the form of ‘Player X will have at least/over/under Statistic Y’, whereas head-to-head is ‘Player X will have more Statistic Y than Player Z’. Trios is where you choose three players, then place them in order of who will get the most Statistic Y. 

The Sportsbet.io price boost promotion is an offer which is too good to ignore. It allows you one price boost per day on every sport, so that’s potentially 30 enhanced wagers every single day. The higher the odds are initially, the greater increase the boost will have. For example, a wager at 2.41 may boost to 2.51, but a wager at 4.60 may boost to 4.85. That’s enough to turn a good bet into a great bet, so use it wisely.

The Sportsbet.io casino is by no means an afterthought to the sportsbook. This is a world-class operation with video slots, progressive slots, blackjack, roulette, baccarat, video poker, scratch cards, lottery, and a live dealer section. Sportsbet.io has gathered games from 30 of the top developers in the industry so there’s a huge amount of variety and choice. The casino also has its own standalone promotions and bonuses, so be sure to take advantage of those if you’re having a break from the sports betting. 

Sportsbet.io has a range of deposit methods for traditional currency covering credit cards, prepaid cards, and e-wallets:

Bitcoin is one of the main selling points of Sportsbet.io, but please note that if you make a bitcoin deposit you cannot convert it to regular money. It must be wagered and withdrawn in bitcoin, and this goes for other currencies, too. 

Although Sportsbet.io doesn’t have an email address or phone number listed, we get the feeling that with 24/7 live chat support those options aren’t really required. Here are the contact methods for the Sportsbet.io customer service department:
