Our bookmaker review found that Baloo only offers rewards and a loyalty program for casino players, not sports bettors.

Baloo is owned and operated by Throne Tech Limitada and launched in December 2025. The company is based in Costa Rica and also has a Costa Rican license. This allows the platform to offer sports betting activities and games of chance.

Baloo for the Netherlands, Belgium, and Greece is protected with SSL encryption, ensuring personal and financial data is kept secure. Crypto payments also have the added security features that come with blockchain transactions.

The Baloo platform is simple to use for both newcomers and experienced bettors. Account creation can be completed using Google, Apple, or Telegram, or just by entering a few personal details. Placing a bet takes minimal clicks, and there is even an option to share your bet choice with friends via email or social media. Deposits and withdrawals are also simple, with the cashier layout being easy to follow.

Navigation

The Baloo homepage features casino games, but the menu to the left allows you to visit the sportsbook. Once there, sports are listed on the left-hand side, and expandable menus show the range of events and leagues on offer. A separate ‘live’ tab takes you to the sports events that can be wagered on as they are happening.

Design

The Baloo site design means that you can easily access all of the information you need. Events, markets, and odds are clearly displayed, and your bet slip remains visible once a selection is added. This also prominently displays the minimum wager that can be placed.

The site loads quickly, and this benefits the in-play betting experience when it comes to securing changing odds. A nice touch here is the fact that there are upward and downward pointing arrows that flash when the odds move either way.

There is no download for iPhone or Android for the Baloo sportsbook. Instead, mobile betting is accessed via the mobile site, and there is the ability to add a shortcut to the homescreen of any smartphone. This makes it easier to access the site.

When accessing the platform on a smartphone, all of the desktop features are present. Everything adjusts to fit on the smaller screen, and users can navigate the site using taps and swipes.

We looked at customer complaints and ratings on Reddit and Trustpilot, and found that the latter gave a 3.5/5 rating.

We put the live chat to the test with a query about live streams. An agent joined us in less than a minute, and all responses were almost instant. The agent was able to resolve our query and was polite throughout.
