Sportingbet Casino Review

Launched in 1998, Sportingbet is one of the oldest internet gaming operations. They’ve also developed a solid reputation in the gaming industry for timely payouts and good customer service.

Sportingbet’s reputability is furthered by the fact that they hold licenses with the UK Gambling Commission, Danish Gaming Authority, and Kahnawake Gaming Commission. Unfortunately, all of this licensing also means that they restrict a few dozen countries from playing here, with notable ones including France, Israel, Italy, Norway, Pakistan, Spain, and the United States.

Assuming you can play here, you’ll enjoy a nice mix of games from Elk Studios, Evolution Gaming, Microgaming, NetEnt, Play’n GO, and Playtech. We’ll cover these games and more below, but let’s first discuss the bonus and promotions here.

Sportingbet Casino Promotions

Any information on promotional offers is current at the time of writing and may be out of date. More current bonus information can be found in the bonus area on this page.

Keep in mind that Sportingbet’s promotions are set on sportsbook offers by default, so you need to click the casino tab once in this section. Once here, you’ll find that the welcome bonus (at the time of this writing!) is a 100% match on your first deposit up to £500 + 10 free spins. The wagering requirements on this reward are 50x the bonus.

Other Sportingbet Casino promotions at the time of this writing include: free spins on the Game of the Week, 50% cashback on Bar Bar Black Sheep slot, 20 free spins on Wild Wild West slot when depositing £20, a 25% match bonus up to £25, and 50% cashback on live casino play.

Considering that Sportingbet draws many of its customers from the sportsbook, we’re surprised at how many offers they have for casino players.

Loyalty Rewards

Sportingbet offers a Premier Rewards program that requires you to log into your account and see what your status and points are. Little information is offered, but the main rewards are tied to monthly bonuses worth up to £7,500, along with invitations to events like the Cheltenham Festival. Overall, this is a murky rewards program that requires a real money account and some play before you determine what you’re eligible for.

Sportingbet Games

Many of the slots here are provided by NetEnt and Microgaming, although you can also find games from Elk Studios, Play’n GO, and Playtech. Some of the slots include: 7 Sins, Blood Suckers, Dead or Alive, Flash: Velocity, Gonzo’s Quest, Guns ‘N Roses, Jimi Hendrix, Jungle Spirit, Sam on the Beach, Superman, Tarzan, and Troll Hunters. Overall, we found 200+ slots, which is really good for a sports betting operation.

You can also look forward to playing top jackpot slots like Arabian Nights, Hall of Gods, Mega Moolah, Mega Moolah Isis, and Mega Fortune. All of these slots offer 7-figure jackpots that can change your life.

The live dealer casino games are provided by Evolution Gaming, which is one of the best in the business. As a testament to this, you can find a wide range of live dealer games, including 3-card poker, Blackjack Party, Caribbean Stud, Immersive Roulette, London Roulette, and Silver Blackjack. Of course, you can also look forward to plenty of virtual table games and video poker variations here as well.

Download and Registration

You can find the registration area by clicking Open an Account on the Sportingbet homepage. Provided you’re not from one of the restricted countries, you can fill out an account, then quickly get started through Sportingbet’s instant play casino.

Banking Options

Deposits can be made through Bank Wire, Laser, Maestro, MasterCard, Money Transfer, Neteller, Paysafe Card, PayPal, Skrill, Switch, Ukash, Visa Debit, and Visa.

Withdrawals can be made with Bank Wire, Neteller, PayPal, Skrill, Visa Debit, and Visa. Expect up to a 48-hour wait on eWallet withdrawals, while credit card cashouts can take up to 7 days.

Customer Service

You can reach Sportingbet through email, live chat, and phone. Please note that live chat is only available from 10am to 8:30pm GMT. Also keep in mind that you must use a specific code when calling support from your country. Of course, you can clear this up simply by using live chat, which is the most-convenient method.

As for complaints about Sportingbet’s customer service, we found very few. This is surprising for an operation that’s been online so long.

Verdict

Normally we’re not impressed with sportbook casinos because they put way too much emphasis on the sports betting crowd. But we were pleasantly surprised with everything that Sportingbet has to offer, from the promotions to the games.

You’ll find over 200 slots here from a variety of providers, including Elk, Microgaming, NetEnt, Play’n GO, and Playtech. This means that you also get to enjoy some of the biggest jackpot slots in the industry.

Another thing we like about Sportingbet is their live dealer casino, which offers all of the basics along with variations that you w35on’t find everywhere else.

While the casino promotions aren’t the best the industry has to offer, Sportingbet has enough to appease the average player. The only bad thing we can say in this department – as well as overall – is that the 50x wagering requirements are a little high when compared to the industry.

Other than this, we like Sportingbet Casino and fully recommend it.

Sportingbet Casino Bonuses

Please note: New Sportingbet Casino customers Only. 18+. T&Cs and wagering requirements apply. Game contributions may vary.

100 free spins
10x
