VBET Review

Simple Sign Up

Getting on board here is really very simple and as you would expect, the link to sign up is prominent at the top right edge of the homepage. The first form asks for a username, email and password and once complete, full contact details are required. From there, it’s a simple case of validating those details and VBET should then welcome you on board. The whole process took less than ten minutes so this is a positive start for this VBET review.

A New Way to Navigate

If you’ve used a number of sportsbooks then the layout of the VBET site might be a little unfamiliar. It doesn’t follow the traditional format where a full list of sports is shown on the left side of the page but instead, when you log on, a small list of upcoming football matches was listed. From here, players can click on a link and navigate to pre-match or in-play markets depending on their preference and from here they will be met by a more ‘traditional’ looking screen. At this point it is easy to navigate around and find your sport and all of the additional information regarding licenses and funding options are where you would expect them – at the bottom of that homepage. Once players get past that initial holding page they will find that the VBET site is very similar to all sports betting portals so overall, the functionality gives the operator another tick in the box.

VBET Promotions

I really was delighted to see that VBET offered new players like me an excellent welcome offer and that deal can be backed up by ongoing promotions for the life of the account. That welcome bonus for UK players is a 100% match on an opening deposit and it can reach all the way up to a generous £75.00 at the top level. There is a low entry level of £5.00 too for those who don’t want to commit too much at the early stage and although the qualifying bets are a series of 3 accumulators, it’s still a generous deal and quite easy to get hold of. But it doesn’t stop there because those who are here for the longer term can get additional promos too. At the time I signed up in August 2019, the deals on the table involved a free bet up to £25.00 in the event of 0-0 draws in football while there was also an acca insurance with bets refunded for six-folds and above where one selection doesn’t win. Many readers will have headed straight to the bonus section of this VBET review and hopefully this will be good news. There are terms and conditions to follow so I would suggest checking these carefully but it was a good start to life with this sportsbook.

How Pleased was I with the Markets?

My own preference is for traditional betting so I like to punt on football first, along with some horse racing, cricket, rugby, darts and others. I was certainly happy with football as there is a wide choice with hundreds of games and thousands of markets available at any one time. The one downside for me was the absence of horse racing but I know that this is a sport that some sportsbooks are keeping clear of and I do have lots of options elsewhere. Those are my choices but I think that most punters will be happy with this section of the VBET review because it’s a good overall mix of those traditional sports along with many smaller, niche events. Others would like to see eSports included but there are some TV and other entertainment markets for those interested in non-sports betting so overall things are mostly positive when it comes to the choice of VBET markets.

Live Betting Experience

At the top of the homepage you will find a link marked ‘in-play’ and this will guide you to all of the events that have started and are available for live betting. Like all bookies who offer this service, VBET’s live betting experience is dominated by football bets while tennis also gets a lot of coverage. The so-called minority sports are included too so there’s certainly a good choice of markets and having checked a range of odds, the pricing for in-play looks to be competitive right across the board. In summary, this VBET review suggests you should certainly consider this bookmaker if you are a serious live bettor or you simply want to try things out.

How to Deposit and Withdraw at VBET

If you like flexibility when it comes to deposits and withdrawals then you’ve found a home at VBET. Like all bookmakers, this operator accepts debit and credit cards so if you prefer Visa or Mastercard, all the major providers are welcome. But the list doesn’t stop there as we have one of the wider range of eWallet options under this VBET review. Skrill and Neteller are the major operators and they are here, along with SafeCharge, EcoPayz and for those who want to play with Cryptocurrency, MuchBetter is here for all your Bitcoin needs. The minimum amounts are set at £5.00 or currency equivalent and VBET do not charge for any transaction. Deposits are instant while withdrawals can take up to 2-3 days but can be quicker too so overall, the key word in this section is flexibility.

Safety, Licensing and Other Credentials

The VBET operation is licensed and registered in Malta while it has also been approved by the UK Gambling Commission(№47868) and can therefore accept customers from the UK. We know this because all of this information is clearly displayed at the bottom of the homepage. When looking to sign up with a new brand, that kind of transparency is important because it helps to build trust. All transactions are carried out over a safe and secure server and the company carries out strict checks to ensure that nobody under the age of 18 can access their site. Links to GambleAware are also provided for anyone who feels they need help with addiction so the security aspect of the VBET review offers another encouraging insight into the operation.

Customer Service

The Frequently Asked Questions section is a good place to start because while it is a little basic, it is set out in a very easy to follow way and the answers are straightforward and to the point. For those who like a little more assistance however, there are plenty of additional options. As of August 2018 there was no Live Chat operator here so the first method for many will be to use the online form. We tested this with a straightforward question and got a full answer within a couple of hours so it is quick and effective. Alternatively, customers could try getting in touch via Facebook or Twitter: I didn’t test this out but it could be another option if you want a faster reply.
