iBet Review

Even though there is no Sports welcome bonus at the iBet sportsbook at the moment, it doesn’t mean that punters cannot benefit from a multitude of other promotions. We will break down the current offers in more detail below.

5% Weekly Cashback Every Monday

The unique cashback system from iBet is eligible for all sports and all bet types. Every week, your losses on the platform are calculated, and you get a 5% cashback from €5 to €200. You can redeem your cashback amount at iBet every Monday. There is no iBet bonus code needed to claim the promotion.

Match of the Week

Whenever you bet on the event marked as the Match of the Week, you get a €20 Free Bet! The important condition is that your wager must be at least €50. Once you activate the Bet Slip, you can use it on any sport type or market. Mind that only Single and Bet Builder bets qualify for the promotion and must be placed at odds over 1.5 in order for you to claim a Free Bet. The maximum amount that can be won from it is €100.

Free Bet Club

Profit from accumulator bets with this special Free Bet Club promotion from iBet. All you have to do is create 3 acca bets worth €10 or more, each with at least 3 selections and minimum odds of 3.0 overall. Make sure that your acca bets are placed between Monday and Thursday, and you will unlock an extra €10 Free Bet to spend on another acca bet! Free Bets must be used on any market within 7 days after being credited and the maximum possible win from a free bet is €100.

Price Boosts

Rush to the Price Boost page of iBet to find the hottest sports betting promotions of the week! Those events that are highlighted with orange arrows on the page have boosted odds for increased payouts once your stake wins.

ACCA Insurance

Insure your acca wagers at iBet to get up to €60 in cashback daily. If only one leg on the acca bet lets you down, you will be eligible for the cashback as long as you fulfill the following requirements:

• The bet must have at least 5 selections on any sport
• The minimum odds are 1.20 per selection
• The minimum combined odds are 5.00
• The insurance is enabled (tick the box in your Bet Slip)
• Your bet has 4 winning and 1 losing leg
• You can get up to 3 refunds per day, €20 each

After researching most of the available sports as part of this iBet review, 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.

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.

• Android: No
• iOS: No

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.

It might be a little easy to get lost on the platform when you launch it for the first time but once you get the gist of it, the navigation across different pages and sections of iBet becomes effortless and smooth.

A fast iBet login that pops up on the right-hand side accommodates anyone trying to get right into the betting action. It is worth noticing that although iBet features Live Streaming, it is not available for all matches on the platform, and sometimes you won’t even find a single available game to stream.

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.

Having launched in 2020, 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.

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.

Although iBet provides Live Chat customer support, it can be a quest to find the Live Chat button at times. The black icon can merge with the overall dark scheme of the website or disappear whatsoever so you’ll have to look for the Live Chat shortcut in the footer section of iBet. The Live Chat itself is comfortable to use and fully automatized, the bot allows you to pick the response language and then proceeds with the pre-determined queries. If you can’t find your question on the list, not an issue: you can always type in the request and wait for the response from the agent.

There seems to be no iBet support email in the open access, which we consider rather a downside of the platform’s customer care.

• Live Chat: available 24/7
• Dedicated Help Centre page

Through this iBet review, we have found out that this sportsbook is a neat choice both for new and seasoned bettors: with time, the platform has expanded its range of sports betting bonuses to such offers as cashback, free bets, boosted odds, and more. The variety of betting markets is huge, although the margins do not always work out in the bettor’s favor. The customer support could be more responsible, although we didn’t find any major issues with its operation for our iBet sportsbook review.

Overall, despite the minor disadvantages, this review of iBet shows that it is a sports betting platform worth trying.
