The main focus of the promotions is on casino games, as evidenced by the fact that only three offers are available for sports betting.

Rewards and loyalty programs at PMbet

There is no dedicated loyalty or VIP program on the platform; however, regular and active players can participate in the Super Royal Sports promotion, where 3,464,800 TZS is awarded every week and a Toyota IST is given away every five weeks.

To participate, players need to place sports bets. The higher the percentage of winning bets and the greater the betting turnover, the more points are awarded.

Calculation formula:

Points = (win amount * number of events) / 1000

Example:

You place an accumulator bet of 100,000 TZS on seven events with a total odds of 53.00.

Your points = (5,300,000 * 7) / 1000 = 37,100

Important: Points earned during the qualification period are displayed on the leaderboard and reset at the start of each new reporting week.

PMbet Licensing & Security Information

10/10

PMbet's website is operated by Playmaster Gaming Corporation Limited, licensed and regulated by the Gaming Board of Tanzania under Licence No. SBP000000011. The company is registered in Dar es Salaam, Kinondoni District, with its main office in Ilala District. All services are legally protected, ensuring secure and reliable betting for Tanzanian players.

Usability and user experience

8/10

The PMbet website features a familiar interface similar to other bookmakers. Registration and login buttons are at the top right, with a toolbar for quick access to key sections. 

Although there’s no event search, filters let users organise selections by time, category, and country. The footer contains rules, responsible gaming info, contact details, and licence information. 

Overall, the platform is intuitive, offering a smooth experience for both new and experienced users.

Navigation

All game sections and services are clearly visible and easily accessible. Pre-match bets are found under “Sport", and live events under “Live.” The screen is divided into filters on the left, events in the centre, and the active event with all markets on the right. The bet slip appears automatically and can be collapsed or expanded.

Design

PMbet's website design uses a primarily dark purple background with white and green accents for text and buttons, creating a visually appealing interface. Despite its relatively simple design, the platform avoids clutter and is easy on the eyes. Navigation between sections is smooth, and in the live section, players can follow event updates and track statistics effortlessly.

Sports betting overview

8/10

By assessing factors such as sports coverage, quality of odds, and betting markets, we can provide insights into the standard of services available to players in Tanzania.

Sports coverage

There are over 20 sports available in PMbet's sportsbook, including bets on eSports and virtual sports. Football is the most extensively covered, featuring 74 national leagues, including the Tanzanian Championship, as well as more than five international competitions, such as the UEFA Champions League. Other sports offered include hockey, basketball, cricket, volleyball, and kabaddi.

Sports odds

Bookie offers competitive margins, with football matches at 2.53% – 5.5%, below the market average of 6%, and floorball at 6.3% – 7.4%, close to the market standard 7%. The overall average margin is around 6.23%, making it attractive for players. PMbet's odds are further enhanced by the recently introduced Boosted Odds, giving all users the chance for better returns on selected bets.

Live betting and streaming

All pre-match events automatically move to the live section once they begin, covering all available sports. PMbet's live betting allows players to view real-time odds, access match statistics, and follow a live text feed of key moments when opening a specific event. Please note that live streaming is not available.

Limits

The minimum stake is set at 500 TZS, while the maximum reaches 4,000,000 TZS. Potential winnings are displayed directly on the bet slip for full transparency. Please note that a 12% tax is automatically deducted from players’ returns.

Betting markets

On average, PMbet's sportsbook offers between 50 and 200 markets depending on the sport and tournament. However, for popular events such as football, the selection can exceed 700 markets, while hockey matches usually feature around 200 and tennis about 150.

Esports betting overview

We will now take a closer look at the esports betting options, focusing on key aspects such as the range of disciplines covered, the competitiveness of the odds, the availability of live betting, and the overall depth of markets. 

Esports coverage

At the time of writing, PMbet's esports coverage included only two disciplines: League of Legends and Valorant. It is also worth noting that the virtual sports section offers around 100 games, including 3x3 basketball, greyhound racing, horse racing, and Boomball.

Esports odds

According to calculations, PMbet's margin on esports matches ranges from 7% to 8%, which is considered acceptable not only for the Tanzanian market but also compared with global leaders, where esports margins typically hover around 9%.

Esports live betting and streaming

Live betting is available for esports, with key match statistics displayed in real time. While PMbet's live streaming is not offered, players can follow events via the live text feed, making it easy to track game progress and adjust bets accordingly.

Esports betting markets

On average, each match offers around 20 betting markets, which can increase to 30 in the live section thanks to minute-by-minute markets, such as the number of kills within the first 10 minutes. The most popular bet types include Match Winner, Total (per map or kills), and Handicap.

Casino overview

8/10

The operator holds a licence to offer legal gambling, including online casino games and live dealer titles. Next, we will review key aspects such as the number of available games and the number of providers.

Software providers

There are over 70 licensed providers available, including brands such as Play'n GO, Red Tiger, Fazi, and PGSoft. It is worth noting that not every competitor can boast such a large number of providers.

Selection of casino games

The platform offers over 1,000 slots with various gaming mechanics, including classic slots, video slots, and progressive jackpot slots. Players can also enjoy traditional card games such as poker and baccarat, or try their luck at roulette. Additionally, the popular game Aviator is available.

Popular titles include Crazy Time, Lightning Storm, Monopoly Live, Auto-Roulette VIP, and Super Sic Bo. Stakes typically start from around 100 TZS and can go up to 500,000 TZS, depending on the game and table type.

Conclusion

8.6/10
