Optibet

Optibet sports is a bookmaker getting the stabilisers off their bike, being formed four years ago in 2013. They provide a range of sports for customers to bet on and primarily focus on Scandinavia, Lithuania and the rest of Europe. This Maltese licensed firm are looking to really penetrate the online betting market – do they have what it takes?|

Optibet have gone for the tried and tested three column layout that is ubiquitous with sportsbooks around the globe. Utilising a red, grey, black and white theme, they have the list of sports down the left-hand side of the page, the odds in the centre of the page and the bet slip on the right hand side. Players can flick between promotions, sports, live bets, casino and live casino at the top of the page. Clients will be familiar with the layout of the website and will find it easy to navigate around. There is a search bar on the left-hand side of the page enabling customers to directly access their desired markets, and for those who want to see which events are coming up soon, there is a drop down menu enabling bettors to filter the matches and odds by starting time. There is a statistics section on the website, which is a little hidden away – players will have to scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the link.

Optibet sports have made their website available in English, Russian, Finnish and Lithuanian. Odds are presented in a decimal format. In addition to their .com website, Optibet also have a dedicated website for Latvian customers, which is Optibet.lv.

Sign Up Bonus?
OptiBet sports offer new customers a 50% bonus up to a maximum of €50, which is decent. There are terms and conditions attached to the offer – the deposit must be a minimum of €20 and has to be turned over a certain amount of times. The rollover requirement are fairly strict, but that is becoming par for the course in the industry as bookmakers look to crack down on bonus baggers – customers are required to wager the deposit plus bonus amount a total of 10 times (with odds of 1.80 or higher), in order to make the bonus balance withdrawable.
