Betmaster review

There are several Betmaster promotions and offers available.

There is a sports loyalty free bet that gives you a free bet of $20 if you bet $25 every day of the week. The reward starts at $5 for four days of bets and then goes up incrementally.

There is also a healthy first bet promotion. Your first bet will be matched 100% up to a figure of $160 though this is not available for those using Skrill or Qiwi payment methods.

There are loyalty bonuses that you can take advantage of the more and longer you keep gambling.

Overall, there are some good odds to be found on the likes of the English Premier League and some other popular football leagues. Some of the odds on offer in less popular sports are not quite so generous. Tennis seems to have improved in recent months as has basketball, but both could be better.

In general, the odds at Betmaster are decent but do not catch the eye.

The Betmaster mobile experience works well with menus clearly labelled, and it is quick to move around the site. What does work well, though, is a system where you can click on the symbol (usually a ball) of the sport you want across the top of the screen and then a map of the world at the bottom to show you where games are taking place that day. You can do the same with matching sports to the ‘live’ tab. It works well and is fun to use.

There is a Betmaster app for both major operating systems that make mobile betting a more comfortable and more convenient experience. Placing a bet can take just a few seconds, and it is quick to move around the app and keep track of what is going on. It doesn’t look great on the mobile, but works just fine.

Betmaster`s website review shows it is nothing spectacular, but works well enough, even if it does not feel very welcoming. It could also be slicker. It is easy to see what sporting events are taking place that day. You can quickly move between the different sporting events.

What would make a difference is a cash out facility, but that does not currently exist. There is no live streaming on Betmaster, but a live widget instead, which keeps up to date with the latest scores and it seems to work fairly well.

While it can lag behind some other sites in terms of the sheer number of bets available, Betmaster has a good selection in the sports you would expect and is strong than some of its competitors in MMA, UFC and virtual sports and some of these are available virtually around the clock. It is also influential in Russian and Asian sporting spheres. The lack of a quick cash-out option is something that could improve the overall engagement level of the site.

It has been in operation since 2014. Betmaster was initially focused on Russia and had been expanding towards Africa. It has acquired operating licences in some countries there such as Kenya and Mozambique, and this helps to explain the plethora of deposit options.

Betmaster says on the website that it is available in all countries, but this is not the case with the USA, UK and France being significant omissions. A little more information and transparency would be an advantage, but the site offsets that by emphasising how it protects the anonymity of customers.

There are a lot of different options with which to pay with some of these depending on the region in which you are in.

There are three usual credit such as Mastercard and Visa, and there is also Apple Pay. There are bank transfer options, such as iDeal and POLi. Then there are shops such as Walmart and 7 Eleven in which you can pay cash to top up your account. There are also mobile payment methods, such as Tele2 and several e-wallets such as Neteller, Skrill, Qiwi and Russia’s Yandex Money.

The minimum bet on all of these is 100 rubles. It is 1,000 when it comes to the many crypto-currency options such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Monero, and several others. The maximum daily withdrawal is 150,000 RUB, and it is possible to withdraw without commission once every 48 hours. At other times the commission is 5%.

Online support was not quite as fast as advertised on the site, but it was still pretty good.

The help desk said that help typically arrives in a few minutes but a bot took three to four minutes to arrive and then after entering an email address noted that the answers would be sent as part of the chat and by email. The answer to the simple questions was given by real people about 15 minutes later though were the answers would be apparent after registering.

All in all, it took around 20 minutes to receive the basic information and with no other means of contact, at least in English, it could have been better.

Betmaster contact section claims that there are various languages supported and that support is listed all around the clock and seven days a week. There was no other way to contact the company; however, with no phone numbers or email addresses listed, at least in English.

The tagline of the website is an ambitious one –’ Betting Reinvented’, Betmaster does not quite live up to that though. It offers a reasonable amount of sport; it provides a lot of deposit options and enables you to withdraw your winnings quickly and easily. There is a good promotion and Betmaster bonus section. There is also Betmaster tips section.

The option to gamble anonymously will appeal to many people. The website works reasonably well with decent support. It’s just not quite at the level of some of the best in the business. More events, more support methods and wider availability may make a difference if it wants to become one of the major players.
