iBet bonuses & promotions

9 / 10

The ibet sportsbook particularly lacks in sports bonuses, as it is mainly focused on casinos. So, our score for this reflects how much of the bonuses are actually offered for sports bettors. Although disappointing, there is a nice welcome bonus offer that can help make your experience better. There doesn’t seem to be any iBet bonus code.

Check the sportsbook for more promos to find out an iBet bonus that catches your eye.

100% Welcome Bonus up to €100

This bonus involves your first deposit with iBet, and similar offers are available on many new sports betting sites Canada. They give you a 100% bonus of up to €100 (C$400) to bolster your wallet ahead of starting your betting adventures with iBet. To trigger this bonus, you must opt-in when you visit the rewards page; it will then be added once your deposit is complete.

There is also an additional second deposit bonus available for some countries, so don't hesitate the exact terms and conditions for your location.

Odds & Margins

7 / 10

After researching most of the available sports at iBet, we have calculated margins hiding beneath the odds. As you can see, darts and hockey in general have higher margins than football, meaning the more popular the sport the lower the margin. This approach is entirely normal for bookmakers; however, iBet's football odds on average are higher than these of their competitors, which indicated that you have a chance to find a better profit margin here.

The trick here is to find some good basketball, ice hockey and darts fixtures to add to your betting slip, then to make some decisions regarding what kind of bet you prefer. The NHL market is said to be one of the best on iBet, so the margins here are useful for kick-starting your iBet sports betting.

Mobile apps

9 / 10

The iBet website can also be used on the phone, but the big question remains: are there applications for either Android or iOS?

The answer is no, however, you can still make use of iBet via the mobile website, which can be slightly less optimised than an app but can be used nevertheless. It is just as simple as the desktop site and even has the same colour scheme, while offering easy navigation too!

Although we would love to see iBet applications that embrace both Android and iOS to increase mobile usability.

Usability & features

8 / 10

Upon access, you will notice the red-black colour scheme of iBet. It is a recurring theme for a lot of bookmakers nowadays to blend in a black background to create a ‘night’ scene for their customers.

Advantages

Limitations

Can have long loading times

Although we believe that the whole set-up and slick combination of colours complement the site, the loading times can be an issue. At the time of writing of this iBet review, the first time loading up is a little longer than it should be but, once you start opening and closing the different pages on the site, it will warm up, although can still sometimes have hiccups.

A fast iBet login that pops up on the right-hand side accommodates anyone trying to get right into the betting action.

Betting markets

8 / 10

Looking into the iBet betting markets shows that there is not as much to look at when compared to other, bigger bookies. You can tell from the drop-down menu that there are not that many sports to bet on.

You have the most popular sports such as basketball, football and baseball, which is great, but the variety is lacking when compared to the more popular bookmakers. Although one thing that makes up for this is ice hockey!

Yes, the iBet website is a heaven for ice hockey bettors. The margins are high and there is a big selection of games and information you can enjoy if you are an avid ice hockey bettor.

Credibility & Safety

9 / 10

Having launched in 2021, the iBet bookie is a new website that has experienced some growing pains. Some people have been put off due to issues like spelling mistakes, which make it look vaguely unprofessional in some respects.

iBet operates on a license obtained from MGA Malta, meaning that they accept players from the likes of Canada, Norway, Finland and Sweden. Restrictions from big countries like the UK do not help their popularity, although iBet Canada is drawing punters.

From the look of things, however, there are not many complaints on the web.

Payment methods: iBet deposits & withdrawals

7 / 10

Deposits

There is a fair amount of deposit methods available at iBet. We are pleased to see that MasterCard and VISA are there, but these two are nowadays the usual dynamic duo for topping up your account. The sportsbook, however, doesn't stop there and offers a variety of other methods such as Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard and even more localised Sofort. As you can see from our list, the selection is rather varied, but not in ways that we've seen from some other bookmakers. It is modest at the most, and some bettors may even find it lacking depending on what they're used to.

Withdrawals

The iBet withdrawals bear a similar – if not the same – story as the deposits. Sofort doesn't have withdraw possibilities, but everything else on the list - with an asterisk for bank transfers - will provide you with an opportunity to move won money to your account.

Support

8 / 10

You can find the iBet customer support similar to anywhere else, by scrolling down to the bottom of the page and finding the ‘contact us’ link. Alternatively, if you want to fast-track to the live chat, you may do so by clicking on the drop-down menu to your left and selecting the live chat option.

There is no phone number provided for iBet, which sadly means we have taken some points off for this. It would be better to see a phone number for the iBet help center sometime in the near future.

Overall

8.1 / 10

Though not perfect in every way, our iBet sportsbook review can confirm this is a nice choice for anyone starting off with their betting ventures. We have explored how iBet approaches their usability, which is genuinely positive. The bonuses lack at the moment, however, as the site is much more focused on casinos.

We also found that the margins are rather up-and-down, but when it comes to hockey iBet is your bookmaker.

There is definitely some way to go for this bookmaker, however, this isn’t all negative, as it will prompt future growth.

This concludes our iBet review, happy betting!
