22bet Sports Review

Founded in 2018, 22bet is disrupting the industry by putting a new spin on traditional online sports betting. Our experts have gone through every aspect of the site to figure out exactly what works, and what doesn’t. 22bet combines a big menu of sports (over 600 markets) and bets with some really creative promotions. The banking options are great and the site security and customer support continues to grow as the site matures.

Being able to bet on a lot of different sports is important in a practical sense, but it’s also a good indication that the sportsbook is professional and comprehensive in general.

22bet has one of the longest sports menus we’ve come across. From the top European sports to all the US conferences as well as the biggest international tournaments, 22bet offers a lot of choices. There are even markets open for non-sports events, like TV programs.

It’s clear that 22bet is pushing the envelope with the number of sports available. The same goes for the types of bets offered by the site.

Pick your best bet

No matter what kind of bet you want to place, 22bet will have a number of options for you. Lots of players will stick to simple bets like singles on individual games, or futures on the winner of a tournament. These types of bets are the easiest to find and place.

However, it’s in the sheer number of prop bets that impressed us the most about 22bet. We’ve been reviewing sportsbooks for a long time, and we’re not sure we’ve ever seen this many betting options.

During our 22bet sportsbook review, we picked a random premier league soccer game, and found over SIX HUNDRED markets available. Super specific bets like which team will reach five corner kicks first are just the start. If you can imagine it, you can probably bet on it at 22bet.

Multi-bets are easy to place too. You can add selections to the bet slip, choose what kind of multi-bet you want to place, and test out how much you would win by adding different stakes before placing the bet.

To top it all off, the in-play betting section offers a really slick way to bet on sports live. All the current markets are clearly visible at the top of the screen. There are even themed graphics showing live updates and statistics.

Promotions are a big deal. They make the whole betting experience more fun and they can make a big difference to how much you win over a long period of time. 22bet got the memo and they responded with great bonuses for new and existing players.

A good sign-up bonus is essential for every sportsbook. 22bet has a 100% sign up bonuses, in which they match your first deposit once it has been gambled once. Depending where you live this deal is good to a maximum of $350.

Weekly bonuses

Depending on when you check the promotions page, 22bet will have selected markets from the biggest upcoming games and tournaments to receive enhanced odds, insurance specials or other valuable promotions. If you select the promoted markets, you should have a good chance to make your money back in free bets even if your bet doesn’t win.

The “Event of the Day” is a different match or competition every day which receives a really valuable odds boost. 22bet also has an interesting weekly points-race that awards big cash prizes. You can earn “bet points” with your wagers to climb the leaderboard.

22bet has loads of regular promotions for its casino games too. If you intend to also play these in addition to sports betting, you can expect money back specials or free spins on the virtual slots every week.

During our 22bet review, we were impressed with the number of banking options. 22bet has a “closed loop” banking policy, which means it’s recommended that you withdraw funds using the same method as you deposited them. We like this policy, as it keeps things smooth and tidy and you only need to worry about one payment method.

In terms of options, all the most popular methods are available. You can use a bank transfer, a prepaid card, your credit or debit card or e-wallet services like Neteller or Skrill. In our opinion, there will be an option for everyone here.

Remember, whatever way you deposit is the same way your withdrawal will be processed. If you use a bank transfer, your winnings will be transferred right back into your account. With a prepaid card, the money is placed back on the card, and so on.

22bet doesn’t charge any fees for their banking services, which is always good.

Having quick access to your winnings is key. During our tests, we found that our bets were settled very quickly, always within a couple of minutes. This means your winnings are free to withdraw or to bet with again as soon as possible.

It’s worth noting here that during the early days of 22bet’s existence, some users had issues withdrawing their funds. This appears to have been an internal problem with 22bet’s payment system, which has since been fixed.

During our tests, we had no issues withdrawing our funds from 22bet. We believe and hope that those teething problems are behind the sportsbook.

Similarly, 22bet had a few problems with licensing in the early days. It’s common for such issues to arise when new sportsbooks are getting off the ground.

Today, 22bet is operated by Marikit Holdings Ltd and registered in Cyprus. The sportsbook has received multiple licenses for different jurisdictions. For example, in the UK 22bet is regulated by the UK Gambling Commission. The site also holds a license from the government of Curacao.

22bet also guarantees that all the personal data that the site collects is kept secure and protected, and not shared with any non-affiliated third parties without your consent. The payment company Wirecard is used to process all transactions.

Customer support

The sportsbook has a help section with lots of useful customer support information. You can find an FAQ section addressing the most common queries, along with loads of articles about betting regulation, betting rules and responsible gambling.

If you want to contact 22bet directly, your best option is to use the live chat feature. The icon is always visible at the bottom of the screen. When we had a few questions, we were put in touch with a helpful agent immediately.

There is also the option to send an email for longer questions, but we preferred live chat for resolving our issues.

If you’re like us, you do most of your online betting on your phone. 22bet’s dedicated mobile app has exactly the same features as the website, but scaled down nicely to fit on your phone. The same huge menu of bets is right there, as well as the in-play section for live betting on the go.

The app makes really effective use of hidden menus, which you can access by swiping. This makes good use of the limited space on the small screen and it never feels too cluttered.

It’s really easy to customize too. Many bettors just stick to one or two sports, and aren’t interested in seeing so many different markets. If you click the settings icon on the app you can choose exactly what sports you want to appear and hide all the others.

This is a really useful feature and makes the whole user experience more personalized. The promotions section is also easy to access from the app, so you can easily find the latest bonuses. The 22bet app also gives you access to the site’s casino games.

We tried the app on a number of different phones and tablets, including Apple and Android, and it worked well on all of them.

22bet is still a young sportsbook, and it did run into a few issues in the early days. However, with a couple of years in operation under its belt, things have steadily improved. In terms of sheer number of bets, particularly prop bets, we can confidently say that 22bet is hard to match. We love the software, both the website and the smartly designed mobile app. The site’s bonuses and promotions are solid too.
