18Bet Sportsbook Review

Everyone loves a bonus, bonuses are quite literally good (that’s what the word means in Latin, btw) and agree very much. If you also agree with this assessment, you will be glad to know that 18Bet doesn’t disappoint in this department. There’s a quite a few offers, both for new and old players. Let’s take a deeper look. In the beginning, there was the welcome bonus. Perhaps the most important offer any casino will ever make, this is the thing that is meant to entice and make a punter decide to take a punt. In this venue, for sportsbook players, there is a 100% deposit match up to €100. That is a tasty little offer as experienced gamblers know there’s quite a few wagers to made with all that extra cash. When it comes to the wagering requirement, we are very pleasantly surprised. The turnover is 16x of deposit plus bonus, which is on the low side compared to the industry at large. Players will have to be aware, however, that the maximum conversion on this offer is five times the bonus awarded. That means that your maximum winnings, once you complete the playthrough are €500. More delights await those who wager on sports in the form of a €30 bonus available to those who join the brand’s Telegram group and a 20% cashback on soccer bets. If you lose the bet, you get 20% back up to €500. Sadly, this cashback comes with strings attached. You will need to roll it over 12 times. Another cashback offer is there, this time up to €18. This time however, it is returned to the player as a real money extra bet. The amount may be small, but the lack of high wagering requirements more than makes up for it. Yet another extra bet is available with a deposit of €50. A tasty little bit with a €5 value but the best thing is that there isn’t a wagering requirement. Whatever you win (by following all the bonus terms of course) is yours. Interestingly, the establishment offers a personal bonus too. Simply get in touch with the customer support and ask for your own bonus. The management promises they will do their best to meet your expectations. On the casino side… …there is also a bag of goodies. A welcome bonus starts things off, naturally. 100% match up to €500. Not a lot of surprises there, the wagering requirement is 30x, and you should keep in mind that the maximum conversion is set at €1,250. In fact, if not otherwise stated, casino bonuses at this operator all have limited conversions of 10x the bonus amount. On Mondays, to help you beat the blues, there is a reload bonus. It’s 25% up to €50. The best thing is that one you’re finished, you can claim it two more times. Tuesdays are lucky too, with a 50% match up to €100. And yet another offer on Wednesday, 40% up to €100. There’s one on Friday too and a weekend cashback. So, there’s almost a casino bonus for every day of the week. An important thing to consider is that all of these offers have their own rules and requirements, therefore make sure to read the terms of each promotion to make the most out of it. And is if all this wasn’t enough, 18Bet also participates in network promotions. Currently, Pragmatic Play’s Drops & Wins are available (in the Slots and Live Casino versions) and Spinomenal is holding a large tournament with a total prize pool of an incredible €300,000.

Despite a large and varied offering of bonuses, this online sports betting site does not currently have a VIP plan or a loyalty scheme. This is unfortunate and negative aspect of an otherwise great offering that is to be found here. A VIP plan is something that many operators have been adopting as a way to reward loyalty and give players something to work towards as they wager.

Now we come to an important consideration in any online sportsbook review. What sports and events are actually available here? Football, tennis, basketball, ice hockey, all the greats are here. And quite a few events too. Just looking at the football section there is at the time of writing 1183 available events, spanning big-name stuff such as the Bundesliga and Serie A all the way to the Scotland League Two and the Albanian Super League. It’s similar across other sports too. A lot of stuff to pick from, although the football category is by far the most populated. Outside of the big sports, you can also wager on darts, rugby union, table tennis… Then there’s the fight sports, boxing, MMA… If you like eSports online betting, 18Bet has you covered. There’s a good selection of the major game titles. CS:Global Offensive is front and center along with DOTA2 and League of Legends. These are by far the most popular eSports titles to bet on. Valorant, E-soccer, and a few others round out the offering. We’d have liked to see some less prominent games available, but what is here is definitely enough. Outside of sports betting, this is a fully featured casino too. Microgaming and NetEnt form the backbone with their many titles. But others such as Pragmatic Play, Wazdan, and Booming Games are also there with their varied and interesting video slot titles. Table games are also available. Live casino as well. And if you’re a fan of live dealers, there’s quite a lot to hold your attention with offerings from Pragmatic Play, Evolution, Ezugi, AsiaGaming, Vivo, and betgames. It’s not often you see a place with such a rich live catalogue of games, so if this is your thing you will love this online betting venue.

To deposit monies at this casino, you will have an array of options. MasterCard, Neteller, Skrill, Visa and so on. Those are just a few of what is available. With most payment providers the deposits are instant but if you’re using a bank wire you need to allow up to 3 days for everything to clear. When you are ready to withdraw you should know there is a €5,000 limit weekly. Winnings here are capped too. Per ticket it is €30,000 and the maximum daily payout cannot exceed €100,000 daily. Further restrictions on withdrawing are placed for those accounts that are deemed insufficiently active which here means a rollover less than five times (further note: sports wagers with odds less than 1.5 do not count toward the rollover) and there will be fees associated with the withdrawal. They depend on the roll over and you can see the details in the T&Cs.

Mobile devices rule the world. And they will soon rule iGaming as well. Rest assured that the unstoppable march of smartphones into every facet of human life is continuing with this online sportsbook site too. Simply visit the address in your mobile browser and you’ll see a mobile version of the site where you can do everything you can at its desktop sibling. All the bets, all the video slots, all the time. Wherever and whenever, top online casinos are now portable and easy to access.

In order to register to play this site, you will have to supply the basic info about yourself. This means identity, age, address, and email. That’s to start you off. As in any other regulated casino, the management may (and after a while of playing probably will) ask you to confirm your identity by supplying additional verification. This most often takes the form of sending scans and sometimes perhaps a selfie. It may be a bit annoying to have to do so, but rules are rules, and they help keep iGaming safe and secure for everyone. In any case, we haven’t noticed that this establishment has any unusual requirements in the registration process. It’s about the same as you’d have to do anywhere else.

In this area, it is about what you’d expect. Email and live chat support is offered to players to resolve their questions or issues. A nice, if a bit old fashioned surprise, is that phone support is also available. Sometimes, we all need to talk to a real human being in real time, and the management here acknowledges that, obviously.
