An Introduction to Bet365
One of the oldest online betting sites, Bet365 has been in business for more than two decades since its establishment in 2000. Still owned and operated by its original founders, it is a legitimate and reputable site. Since its creation in the United Kingdom, they have since expanded its operations to include more betting options.
Licensing and Security
Bet365 is currently licensed by the Government of Gibraltar and regulated by the Gibraltar Gaming Commission. Besides that, they are also affiliated with the International Betting Integrity Association and eCOGRA (the eCommerce and Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance testing agency), an independent agency that focuses on upholding policies such as protection of consumers, prevention of underage gambling, fair gaming, and more.
Game Selections
While Bet365 started off by exclusively offering only sports betting options, their expansion over the years means that they now also have online casino games, live casino games, bingo, and many more. Join 80 million users from more than 150 countries and take a look at their collections:
Virtual and Live Casino Games
If you are interested in virtual casino games, Bet365 has blackjack, roulette, and baccarat games offered. When it comes to live casino games, the classic table games and the different variants are available as well.
What we really appreciated was that the number of seats or players are displayed on the banner, giving players an idea of what to expect before clicking on it. Besides live table games, live game shows such as Everybody Jackpot, Football Card Showdown, The Money Drop, Spin A Win, and live slots, are also exciting options for their players.
Games are hosted by dealers in English, Italian, Colombian, and various other languages.
Poker
Unlike most online betting sites focused on players in Asia, Bet365 has a designated poker section for their players. Members can choose from cash games, twister games, and more. Like their other games, we love how information on the game is displayed. For their poker games, info such as buy in and stakes are displayed. Clicking on the info button tells you what to expect of the game you choose.
Online Slots
Bet365’s online slot games are available under their casino tab. You can choose from original games, dual drop jackpots, and more. The dual drop jackpot games guarantee two exclusive jackpot prizes. At the time of writing, their weekly jackpot was at $21,014 while their community jackpot was at $84.346!
We loved the “i” icon that players can click on to display more information about the game. Once you click on it, it tells you the reels, lines, features, and RTP of the slot game involved. Explore thrilling titles such as Spin Reely, Book of Horus, Sizzling 7s Fortune, Tapestry Tumble, Call of the Samba, Untamed Gorilla, Ancient Gods, Shamrock Reels, Curse of the Bayou, and many more.
The platform also has an “8 Immortals” collection which consists of different progressive jackpot slot games! The 8 Immortals games have 3 jackpots: Mini Jackpot, Major Jackpot, and Mighty Jackpot. The mighty jackpot payout was certainly alluring at a total of $1,417,154!
Sports Betting
Their sports betting page is easy to navigate and has a stylish modern look. Unlike most classic sports betting sites where it can be overwhelming, Bet365 has managed to make their page seem less busy and pleasing to the eyes.
Offering betting on around 40 different sports, members can expect to bet on soccer, tennis, basketball, cricket, table tennis, and more. Less popular options such as politics, darts, Gaelic sports, trotting, and winter sports are offered as well.
Virtual Sports
Virtual sports betting is also an option on Bet365. However, the choices are limited as bets are only accepted for football, basketball, and hockey. At the time of writing, there were only 26 different matches to bet on. Punters can also filter the matches based on different leagues such as Europa Conference League, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, NBA, and NHL.
Bingo
Bet365 also has a designated Bingo section for their members with popular titles such as Rainbow Cash Pots, Dynamite Digger Eureka, Big Fishing Fortune, Lost Tomb of Cleopatra, Havana’s Secrets, and My Bingo Hall Jackpot. Like the slot games, clicking on the information icon displays more info about the game including volatility, RTP, features, and more. To learn more about RTP and Volatility, you can also click on the link provided to understand further.
Bonuses and Promotions
Accessing the bonuses and promotions was quite a challenge as we could not find the tab for it anywhere on the menu. Instead, we had to scroll all the way down to the page before seeing “Promotions”. Based on our observation, their incentives are mainly focused on sports as there were no promos for online casino games. At the time of writing, some of their offers include:
Bonus / Promo | Description |
---|---|
Open Account Offer | Get 15% of your qualifying deposit in bet credits up to $60. |
70% Multi Sport Accumulator Bonus | Available on any MMA bout plus top leagues worldwide for American Football, Basketball, Ice Hockey, and Baseball – up to 70% bonus for successful accumulators. |
70% Soccer Accumulator Bonus | Available in a wide range of selected leagues and competitions. |
Baseball Early Payout Offer | Get your single bets paid out if the team you back goes 5 runs ahead – for multiple bets the selection will be marked as a winner. |
Racing Value | Pay out on disqualified horses, does not include bets placed Ante-Post. |
Other promos on soccer, horse racing, greyhounds, Australian racing, and other sports are available as well.
Deposits
The deposit options for Bet365 are very limited as well. While our team members in Singapore were unable to create an account to explore what options are offered, our Malaysian team found that they accepted debit cards, credit cards, e-wallets, and bank transfers. Since transaction methods differ for each country, this is our best guess at this time.
Withdrawals
Similar to deposit options, the withdrawal options for Bet365 are quite limited. With help from our Malaysian team, our best guess is that this operator accepts debit cards, credit cards, e-wallets, and bank transfers.
Customer Support
Although Bet365’s customer support is only available via email or 24/7 live chat, the response time on their live chat was impressive. Upon submitting our query, we managed to get a response within 5 minutes and a definite answer soon after that. The agent was very helpful, knowledgeable, and extremely efficient.
Mobile App
Bet365 has a mobile app for both Android and iOS users as long as the device meets the technical requirements. To download the app, open the app store of Google Play store and download Bet365. Android devices need to be updated to Android 8 or higher while iOS devices are required to have iOS 13 or higher.
How to Sign Up at Bet365
Unfortunately, joining Bet365 for players in Singapore is not possible due to the gambling restrictions. However, you can check out our list of Best Online Casinos in Singapore or Best Online Sports Betting Platforms for 2023. Reviews on other online betting platforms are available as well.
Conclusion
Bet365 is a great gaming platform with decades of experience in the online betting industry. Offering a wide variety of betting options, members can enjoy online casino games, live casino games, online slots, and sports betting.
We highly recommend this site for players who love sports betting as their promos are focused on sports and online slot fans as the graphics and themes seem highly immersive. However, Bet365 is unavailable for players in Singapore at this time due to certain restrictions.
