In short, SBOBET seems to operate within the law and abides by any rules and regulations put forth that call for fair odds and a reliable gaming experience.

Virtual and Live Sports Betting
SBOBET has a decent sportsbook with thousands of games available for players to bet on every day. They also offer virtual sports betting if that’s your thing too. The live sportsbook updates in real-time every second, ensuring that you are getting the most current odds and information when you go to place a bet.
The sportsbook itself has categories for just about every sport you could imagine. You’ll be able to find your standard basketball, baseball, football, etc. but also bet on darts, water polo, hurling, and more. Football was clearly the most popular sport at SBOBET, as they had nearly a thousand games for players to bet on. Table tennis was also very popular, with around 300 different games available.
Virtual sports betting is another way people like to gamble and involves a random number generator and a powerful program creating a virtual match between fictional teams with fictional players. Look at the teams ahead of time, learn the virtual players, and bet on who you think will win. The virtual sportsbook only covered football, basketball, gold, and horse racing. It’s clearly not as popular as other games on their site.
Esports
Esports is absolutely booming in popularity, and SBOBET has a decent eSportsbook if that’s your thing. They have tens of different markets available on big tournaments and matches in popular games like League of Legends, CS: GO, Dota 2, Valorant, Overwatch, and more. In total, we counted 18 different video games available on their site, with more probably on the way as Esports betting becomes more and more popular.
Fishing Games
Fishing games are common at online casinos around the world. They’re fun, interactive, and the chance of a big payout is always there. If you’ve never played a fishing game, we suggest you give it a go. Some fishing games offer free demos, and you might get ‘hooked’ from the very first cast.
| Software Providers | Fishing Games |
|---|---|
| Eurasian Gaming | Li Kui Pi Yu, Insect Paradise, Yao Qian Shu |
| JDB | Dragon Fishing 2, Five Dragons Fishing, Cai Shen Fishing |
| Spadegaming | Zombie Party, Fishing God, Alien Hunter |
| SimplePlay | Fishermen Gold |
| Funky Games | Inferno Sea |
Keno
SBOBET does support Keno if you’re interested in betting on a lottery-like gambling game offered at most online casinos. It’s fast, it’s fun, and there’s a chance you can hit it big and walk out with way more money than you put in. There are a few different Keno-esque games at SBOBET, and they include Number Game, TLotto, RNG War, Ding Dong, Atom, Atomwar, Kenosoccer, and Kenowar.
Bonuses and Promotions
Welcome bonuses, referral bonuses, and more. SBOBET definitely has some bonuses and promotions you can take advantage of to increase your bankroll and potential winnings. They’re not the best bonuses we’ve seen at an online casino, but they’re definitely miles ahead of the worst ones out there.

Deposits
There are a few different methods available depending on which country you list when you register yourself with the site. The following is a general list of the methods available, but just know that they may vary depending on your location. When in doubt, contact SBOBET through their easy 24/7 Live Chat to get a quick and accurate answer for your situation.
| Method | Accepted Options |
|---|---|
| Method | Accepted Options |
| Bank Transfer | Affin Bank, Agro Bank, Am Bank, Bank of Islam, Bank Simpanan Nasional, CIMB Bank, Hong Leong Bank Berhad, Maybank, Public Bank, RHB Bank Berhad, HSBC, Alliance Bank, OCBC Bank, United Overseas Bank, Standard Chartered |
| eWallets | Touch’n GO, Shopee Pay, DuitNow, Boost, MAE, GrabPay |
| Cryptocurrency | Tether (USD-T TRC20) |
Withdrawals
The only withdrawal method we could find was a bank transfer, which is slightly disappointing. In today’s age, it’s definitely helpful to have a variety of different withdrawal methods. Being able to withdraw funds through crypto or an eWallet would have been nice.
Customer Support
There are a ton of different ways to contact customer support at SBOBET. The first and easiest way is through their 24/7 Live Chat. We tested it out and quickly connected to a customer service agent who quickly answered our questions. You do have to answer a question in the beginning about what type of problem you’re having, but you’ll quickly connect to a representative after that.
The other methods are by email, a variety of phone numbers, WhatsApp, LINE, Kakao Talk, Viber, Skype, Employment, ZALO, and Telegram. The best part is that their customer support agents speak different languages. SBOBET has representatives that speak English, Chinese, Vietnamese, Burmese, Korean, and Indonesian.
Mobile App
There is no mobile app at SBOBET. There is a link on their site that seems like it will be a mobile app, but instead, it just redirects you to the SBOBET mobile site. The mobile site isn’t bad and should run smoothly on just about any device, but we would have liked to see a mobile app. Mobile apps make betting on the go easier than ever and are becoming increasingly popular among online casinos.
How to Sign Up at SBOBET
Signing up at SBOBET is easy, but you’re going to have to be 18 years of age or older and reside in a country accepted by SBOBET. Some countries aren’t accepted, but SBOBET doesn’t look too hard at where you’re from. Take this information how you want and then enter the following after clicking the sign-up button at the top of the site:
- Country of residence
- Username
- Password
- Full Name
- Gender
- Date of Birth
- Nationality
- Valid mobile number
- Security question
- Promo code – INSERT PROMO CODE HERE
Conclusion
To wrap it up, SBOBET is a decent site if you reside in one of the countries that they focus on in South East Asia. They offer a good amount of deposit methods but seriously lack withdrawal methods. Their sportsbook, eSportsbook, live casino games, and slots are all entertaining and varied. They have a nice selection of software providers to keep players having fun, and their customer support is pretty helpful and quick to respond.Â
They also have valid gambling licenses from PAGCOR and the Isle of Man, which definitely helps put players at ease and says that they care about their players. The bonuses and promotions could definitely be better, as a 10x turnover requirement on a sportsbook welcome bonus is fairly high. All-in-all, you should give SBOBET a try if you’re in South East Asia and are looking for a reliable online casino to bet with.
