The company’s business is under the jurisdiction of Curacao. It is licensed there but operates in many countries around the globe. The site has restrictions by the US and several other countries but otherwise targets a very wide international audience. With excellent offers and very well-built platform 18bet currently ranks in top 100 of the most recognized bookies in the world. That increases the trust in the company which sometimes needs a little boost. The owner of the brand is Bellona N.V.
The company offers wide variety of betting options with the sport bets. Such options are the casino, live casino and other games. Some countries in Europe however, such as Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Hong Kong cannot take advantage of the options the casino games give.
The website of the bookie is simple, well informative and beautiful.

Betting Information

If you have never seen sports betting site 18bet would be a very good choice for you. The platform is really clean and easy to understand. Every menu you need is situated at the top of the page. When you enter the sports section, you’ll notice a very long list of sports at the left side of the page. There you will find major sports like Soccer, Tennis, and Basketball. But there’s even something for the most demanding players with markets for Bandy, Table Tennis and Badminton available. Now, we can’t say that the list of markets is vast, but there’s a great chance you’ll find the events you need. 18bet doesn’t offer markets for entertainment events and Esports for now, but they will sure update to it eventually. The live betting feature is also something that stands out. Even bigger names in the industry sometimes lack this feature.
In the Live casino, you’ll find Black Jack, Roulette, and Baccarat while in the Casino page you’ll find the Slots and Table games. The casino offers great jackpots and tournaments for anyone interested in these games to take his/her chance to win a fantastic prize.
There are tens of casino games and live betting options in the live casino. Live roulette offering guarantees great and real casino experience for anyone on the website. The bookie also offers tournaments and great jackpots.
The owners of the site know that nowadays you can’t go far without a mobile device. That’s why they have a dedicated mobile version of 18bet where you can place your bets on the go (and they even offer bonus for it).

Odds Information

Being a reputable betting site is not easy, and that’s why 18bet claim that they put a lot of effort in offering the most competitive odds on the events. Odd formats are Decimal and American. Soccer is very heavily supported (compared to other sports) with more than 500 markets every day. For most of the sports, they offer Match result, Under/over and Handicap options (the also apply for half-times). The Asian handicap is missing which is a surprise (because of its popularity), but otherwise all famous odds are present. The bookmaker margins are slightly above average (EPL margins between 6.7% and 7.0%).

Security and Customer Services

For security, 18bet have chosen the SSL encryption that is very nice to see. It means that your personal data is protected and secure. The site supports English and German as the main languages. A big plus, regarding customer service, is the Live chat option where you can contact a company representative right away. For now it only supports English but most of the betting sites have only one supported language. Not only that but the support is 24/7 which is something rarely seen in even bigger betting platforms. Other ways to contact the company is through email or find them on social media (Twitter and Facebook). There haven’t been any major complain about the bookmaker over the internet so all in all we can say 18bet is doing a pretty good job for now.

Deposit and Withdrawals

As far as deposit options go 18bet provides an unmatched selection of currencies to use. There are about 40 currencies supported which is well above average for any bookmaker. A full list of these can be found in a table aside. With quite a few deposit methods available the company is aiming to ease their international customers a lot. All of these methods can also be seen in the table. Starting with the usual Bank transfer method and going through debit/credit cards, you can also use digital wallets. The Paysafe card is also supported by deposits, but you can’t use it for withdrawal. Minimum deposit funds are $10 to $135 depending on the chosen method. There are no fees for depositing funds no matter that method you choose. When things come to the withdrawal of funds, you can pretty much use the methods you transferred the money into your account. 18bet has very strict policy about withdrawing funds and you might want to take a look at their “Rules and regulations” page. Usually, they don’t charge any fees for withdrawal especially if the players aren’t doing it regularly. But they do reserve to charge administrative fees for players who like to withdraw more than twice a month.

Deposit Bonus and Loyalty Programs

18 bet has a very generous offer for new players which encourages new users to make an account. When you create an account, you become eligible for a 100%  bonus up to 100€ (or equivalent currency). It's quite a lot compared to other bookmakers. Other bonuses are for the Casino where you can get up to 500€ (or currency equivalent) welcome package. It is very nice to see that they try to update their promotions frequently and have bonuses for Christmas, Halloween and other famous holidays.
