Bet-at-Home Review

The Obligatory Sports Welcome Bonus

A player can receive up to €100 as a welcome offer when they enter the bonus code “FIRST” under the “redeem bonus” options in their account settings. The bonus is valid for customers who have transferred money to their betting account, and a 100 € is the maximum amount that can be matched; should a customer deposit more than €200, Bet-at-Home will give them a €100 bonus (recurring bonus). If you do decide to opt in for the Bet-at-Home bonus, you need to claim it in the first 10 days of registering an account.

Be Mindful of the Bonus Conditions

If your account has an active Bet-at-Home sports sign up offer or another bonus, any redeemed promotion will be showed. Additional bonuses may be activated under “my promotions”, only when wagering requirements (turnover rate) of the current bonuses have been met. Clients who have not chosen € in their registration method, will receive the sum equivalent in their selected currency – 150 CHF, 90 GBP, 140 USD, 750 DKK, 350 PLN, 2500 CZK, 200 YTL, 200 BGN, 4000 RUB, 400 RON, 1000 SEK.

Wagering Requirements Aren’t Exactly Standard

Also known as rollover rate, you will be required that prior to any withdrawal of any winnings, the bonus and deposited sum needs to be rolled over x4, with minimum odds of 1.70 within 90 days after redemption. Multi bets and system bets can be used for completing the wagering requirements ONLY of bonus funds or linked funds. Clients that have deposited €200 will need to roll over a maximum of €1200. Bear in mind that Bet-at-Home reserves the right to cancel any bonuses or winnings should you fail to complete the requirements. Only linked funds or bonus funds contribute to the completion of the requirements.

Promotional Fine Print

Another bonus rule in the bet at home sportsbook, is that you can be granted a bonus only if no withdrawal was made before redeeming the bonus. Any deposited sum of money from which the bonus has been calculated along with resulting winning funds are completely bound to the lifespan of the bonus and cannot be withdrawn; so basically, your best chance, is to successfully complete your wagering requirements.

Countries That Benefit from Special Promotions

Some countries such as Great Britain, Sweden, Ireland and others, listed on the Bet-at-Home website, are having country specific types of bonuses, targeted to better suit the preferences of the players from those countries.

Popular Markets to make Your Wagers On

In the quick navigation panel to the left, you will see markets arranged by popularity (also dubbed “top sports”); Football, Tennis, Basketball, Handball, Volleyball, Ice Hockey, Darts, Counter-Strike, League of Legends, Dota 2, PUBG, and Alpine Skiing. Over the course of a few years, the e-sports scene has grown quite exponentially, and this is the reason we see so many computer game titles in the top market picks of Bet-at-Home.

E-Sports Have Become Exceptional

Over the last decade, competitive computer and video gaming have become a business phenomenon by introducing a brand-new market section to sports betting operators everywhere: e-sports. Today, many popular e-sport games have their own championships and leagues, which are featured as available markets at Bet-at-Home. In terms of visual representation, there isn’t any difference with other sports; when a punter chooses a game, they will be able to see all the event markets, odds, etc.

The Big Market Picture

While the remaining markets aren’t so many in number, they do enjoy their fair share of attention by punters – Ski Jumping, Biathlon, Cross Country Skiing, American Football, Baseball, Motorsports, Rugby, Politics, Cycling, Aussie Rules, Boxing, Combat Sports, Table Tennis, Overwatch, Call of Duty, Bandy, Floorball, Snooker, Cricket, Golf, and Society. Another interesting thing about the “Society” betting is that they might not involve any sport at all, but long-term betting lines on events, such as: the first human mission to Mars and Character outcomes on Game of Thrones etc.

Live Betting Section

Here, you can review and wager on markets that are being played out in real time. Also known as “live betting”, there aren’t any restrictions or limitations regarding how many games will be displayed at the same time. Whenever regular and/or e-sport matches are played, you can expect them to be displayed with all their available betting lines and statistics. The live betting window itself has several view modes for better user experience – Classic, Multi, and Combi.

Bet-at-Home Customer Service

The live chat button was a bit tedious to find; nevertheless, the agent of the bookie was more than swift and helpful with their answers. In addition to having a quickly-responding representative, bettors can post their inquiry via Bet-at-Home’s contact form, which features separate sections for asking questions, sending messages of praise or criticism, and a “report technical problem” section. If that wasn’t enough, there is a banner on the right side of the contact window which has phone numbers and e-mails of the bookmakers’s different departments.

How Good is the Bet-at-Home Mobile App?

While Bet-at-Home does offer a mobile app for its customers; however, it only features the online casino offered by Bet-at-home. Upon official inquiry from the staff, no news were announced about the development of a sports betting app – furthermore, we were informed that even if the company was developing a dedicated sports betting app, the information about it would be classified. Basically, people will find out more IF one day an app would be released. Until such a time comes, users are encouraged to utilize the mobile version of the website.

A Simulated Practice Environment

Some sportsbooks offer a virtual betting simulator. The basic principle here, is the same as with an online casino’s “practice mode”. The brand gives you a large amount of fake currency or chips, so you can experience the mechanics and functions of the game a player has chosen. This gives players the ability to try out new betting strategies and systems, without risking their own money; sadly, Bet-at-Home doesn’t offer a simulated environment for practice.

Virtual Betting Is Up and Running

In addition to upcoming and live markets, Bet-at-Home also offers virtual sports. At this point, the available virtual markets are Football, Basketball, Tennis, Greyhound racing, and Horse Racing. A major advantage of virtual sports, is that the games will always take place; even if the real weather outside is not fit for hosting an actual sporting event. Another benefit is that with virtual sportsbetting there are a lot more possibilities – additional markets and betting lines are almost always available. A strong entertaining factor is that while regular markets do not have live streams of the events, the virtual sports do; the quality of the simulated environment is so good, that when it is combined with the classic direction camera angles, it looks very close to the real thing. Switching between virtual events and markets is easy, and almost instantaneous; virtual teams have their own track record when they play, so a punter would be able to calculate their bets even better.

Bet Slip

When you are making a selection of markets you would like to wager on, they will be displayed on the far right side of the screen under the Bet Slip. You will see that next to it, there will be a button designated “my bets” which will take you to a more extensive menu where you will be able to review your betting history. The slip itself, has a variety of “bet types”, those are; 1 click bet, single, combi, system, and multi-way bet. The variety provided by this bet slip variant is much larger than that of other sportsbooks.

The License of Bet-at-Home

As a reputable establishment, Bet-at-Home is properly licensed to conduct gambling activity on its website. The company possesses not only one, but four licenses issued by the Malta Gaming Authority. Additionally, Bet-at-home has a special Remote Bookmaker’s License that is issued by the Irish government, so residents of Ireland can play. The company is also backed up by eCOGRA, and has a license for its British website version issued by the UK Gambling Commission.

Depositing and Withdrawing Money from Bet-at-home

Like with most popular betting sites, Bet-at-Home offers a variety of options when it comes to making a deposit. You can use regular and e-banking options, e-wallet platforms (PayPal, Skrill and Neteller), debit cards (Visa, MasterCard and Maestro). Bear in mind that some of the methods may or may not be available to users from specific countries.

Account Fund Management

Since Bet-at-Home offers a large variety of betting environments, they have designed a function which allows you to transfer your funds to the betting section of your choice. By default, your deposits will be stored in your “betting account” from where you can redirect the desired amount to “casino”, “live casino”, “Vegas” and “Poker”. You will notice that when you do transfer some money to any casino-style section, the format of your balance will be displayed as chips.

Currencies with Which You Can Register Your Account

So far, eleven currencies are available for each sportsbook client, and once you register with one of your choice, you can’t change it later. They are; Euro, Swiss Franc, UK Pound, US Dollar, Danish Krone, Polish Zloty, Czech Koruna, Bulgarian Lev, Russian Ruble, Romanian Leu, and Swedish Krona. The downside here, is that while those currency formats are available, some of the countries they belong to are banned from playing at Bet-at-Home.

Minor Annoyances and Great Advantages

Straight away, the countries that are limited from registering in the Bet-at-Home are: France, USA, Turkey, Albania, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Czech Republic, Romania, Bulgaria, Australia, Greece, Russia, Israel, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Afghanistan, Hungary, and North Korea. While this isn’t something that would make things better for punters that can’t log in, there are benefits (check the list below) that most likely redeem the fact that the players of some countries are prevented from playing here.
