18bet Sports Review – How Does This Bookie Hold Up

The Available Markets Offered at 18bet

One of the significant drawbacks of the bookie is the small number of sports. You can find all 11 of them situated on the left side of the homepage. They go as follows: Soccer, Tennis, Basketball, Volleyball, Handball, Ice Hockey, Baseball, Snooker, Boxing, Rugby League, Rugby Union. Although the selection of sports could use a bit of an update, players still have access to more than 1000 betting market opportunities.

Every sport listed on the 18bet’s roster has its own markets the number of which you can seein front of every title. Of course, the sport with the largest number of available markets, is Soccer – with a current staggering value of 1024. This number does change every single day, given the fact that Soccer is the most popular sport on the planet. 18bet offers multiple football championship markets, such as:

• Germany Bundesliga and Regional League
• Spain La Liga
• Europe UEFA Championship
• English League
• AFC Cup
• Norway First Division
• And many others

All other sports have less or approximately 100 markets to offer. Tennis (108), Snooker (63), and Basketball (57) seem to have the most markets after soccer, with all other sports falling (not-so-closely) behind. Bear in mind, that 18bet constantly updates its sports roster, so it won’t come as a surprise if in the future we see a lot more available markets.

Licenses and Legal Recognition

18bet is licensed in Malta by MGA (malta Gaming Authority), and has met the necessary requirements in order to conduct business operations. Malta is considered to be one of the first jurisdictions to start issuing licenses and regulate gambling operations online. The rules set up by the licensing administration are upheld rigorously, in order to ensure that all bettors are receiving fair markets. We’ve listed a few of the requirements that a sportsbook needs to cover, in order to conduct their legal business.

• Using an RNG application whose fairness has been proven
• Confirmation that the RNG application is worthwhile via third party certification
• Protecting user data
• Providing thorough information about problem gambling on the site
• Blocking access to minors

Bet Types You Can Expect

You will find the most general and some less common markets and bet types like total goals, over/under, Asian Handicap, correct score, home team total, both teams to score, half time/full time, draw no bet, etc. Clearly, the market variety isn’t as big as it is on other betting sites, but it does provide the punter with the ability to calculate between several wagering schemes, and choosing the best course of action. Additional bets include Moneyline, System Bets, Odds/evens, Multi-Bets, and a few others which are usually sport-specific.

The Bet Slip Explained

Simple yet functional, 18bet’s bet slip provides sufficient information for a punter to follow its wagers. Standardly situated in the mid-top-right corner of the webpage, it has two tabs, respectively designated “bet slip” and “my bets”. Once you make a selection of a few markets, under the first tab will unlock three others; single, combo, and system bets. Under the secondary slip tab, you will be able to follow the wagers you’ve confirmed.

In-Play and Live Streaming

Few sports are on offer when it comes to 18bet in-play betting. They may vary day after day depending on the available events, but the main sports are Football (soccer), Tennis, Basketball, and Volleyball. When you select a sport, a list of all events will be displayed. If you want to get a glimpse of the markets, hit “All Markets”. There are different view types in case you want to personalize your 18bet sports live betting page.

Banking Options – Deposit and Withdrawal Options

18bet covers a range of payment options allowing customers to top up their accounts with whichever method they are accustomed to using. It has to be said that the options here vary from country to country, therefore your deposit and withdrawals list may look a little different than what you will see here; this also applies to any potential transfer fees that might or might not be present.

Banking options include e-wallets, credit/debit cards, and bank transfers. Some of the brands you will encounter at 18bet, are: WebMoney, Boleto, QIWI, Yandex Money, Sofort, Trustly, Skrill, Skrill 1-Tap, Neteller, PaysafeCard, ecoPayz, Entropay, VISA, MasterCard, Rapid Transfer, and many others. When you choose your method, make sure you pay attention to the information depicted in front of it; you will find out the minimum and maximum limits, as well as processing times.

The Initial 18bet Sports Bonus and Current Promotions

The welcome bonus boosts up your balance up to €/$/£100 by claiming the 100% match-up upon signup. When you finish registration, fill up your account with a minimum of €/$/£10 and enter a code which will unlock the promotion and the funds will travel to your account instantly. x12 rollover requirements must be met before you make that cash withdrawable; make sure you read those terms and conditions before you claim the bonus.

• Free Bet Bonus

Go to the Campaigns page of 18bet, select “Activate Coupon” and enter the code 18FREE to unlock your bonus. Place a minimum of a €/$/£10 bet on odds of 1.8 or higher and if you lose, you will receive a free bet which will be worthy of 20% of your wager. The following markets are allowed: both to score, half time/full time, odd/even, 1×2, 3way handicap, total goal, double chance, and correct score. Other terms and condition may also apply, so be sure to visit the site of 18bet for more details.

Additional Bonuses

In addition to these offers, the operator also provides monster combo cashback, correct score mania and a lucrative reload bonus. The following bettors are eligible for the latter: people who for some reason did not succeed in meeting the turn-over requirements of other bonuses on the site; people whose balance is drained down to €/£/$1; and 18bet users who have placed a minimum of 5 bets on sports with the last deposit. Other terms and conditions still apply.

Private Sports Bonus

And there is even such a thing as a private sports bonus. It will be tailored to meet your needs and expectations. To claim your very personal bonus, contact the staff via email or live chat (all contact details provided below) and ask them about the promotion. Based on your account status and gaming history, you might be eligible for the receival of a truly exhilarating bonus.

Customer Support is Always On Point

The company customer support department of 18bet is open around the clock to answer questions, receive feedback and help members on the site with any issues they may be running into. The agents can be reached by live chat. Click on the banner that reads “Live Chat” on any page that you can see it, enter username or email and begin chat. No matter what type of inquiry you might have, you can be sure that the assistants of 18bet will address it promptly.

Another way to have a word with customer support is by sending them an email to support@18bet.com. It won’t be handled immediately as live chat messages are, but it will be addressed within 24 hours or sooner, depending on how busy the operators are. If your request is reviewed during less busy hours, you might be able to receive a reply in no more than a few hours. Whenever a question arises, you may also have a look at the FAQ page.

18bet Sports App is Coming Soon

While at this moment there isn’t a dedicated application for 18bet, the sportsbook’s customer service agents assured us that one is currently in the works. After being encouraged to use the website’s mobile version, we were assured that it would be as functional as the computer-based one. This leads us to believe that when the application comes out, it will have the same functionality as 18bet’s sports platform.

In Conclusion – Grade Explanation

At last, we will tell you the ranking which we gave 18bet. As seen above, the website has some great features, and a few drawbacks. The Sports section needs more exotic sports to be added. There are no single non-sport, or e-sports category; although the live chat is present, there is no telephone line. Live streaming is yet to be introduced.
