Betsson Review

Betsson is a Swedish gaming company that has expanded rapidly recently, especially thanks to the high-profile takeovers of rivals Betsafe and NetPlay. These aggressive moves allowed Betsson to expand its own sports betting options to become one of the top online sportsbooks in Europe. Overall, we love the site and in this in-depth Betsson sportsbook review, we go into detail on the betting options, Betsson sports app, security, banking and more.

When it comes to options for sports and bets, quantity is key. Betsson has A LOT of options.

You can find all the biggest sporting competitions from around the world, from the English Premier League, to the Super Bowl and the NBA finals to the Olympic Games. If you’re only interested in betting on the top sporting events, Betsson makes it easy.

Find the perfect bet for you

In addition to major events like those above, you can bet on regular and postseason games from a massive list of different leagues. Even if your favorite sport is really obscure, like Irish Gaelic football, Betsson probably has betting markets for it.

The sports menu is endless, and we like how it hides away neatly on the website when not in use. The huge list of sports is complemented by an equally impressive range of betting options.

Similar to how the biggest competitions are the most visible on the site, Betsson displays the most popular bets first. These include single bets like money lines, point spreads and over/unders.

You can find a huge menu of prop bets if you click into any game, including bets on highly technical outcomes like the number of corners in a soccer game.

‘Bet Builder’ and the bet slip

We love Betsson’s ‘Bet Builder’ tool, which helps you build your own customized accumulator or parlay bets. The software guides you through the options for placing more legs, and you can test out different options before deciding to place the bet.

Betsson’s bet slip works in a similar way, but the Bet Builder guides you through the process step-by-step. The live betting section is well designed too. It has color codes to show how the odds are moving, live statistics from every game and even the option to stream some sports live on the site.

Overall, we were very impressed and it shows in Betsson’s score in this category.

We were especially impressed with the welcome bonus. It depends when you sign up and where you’re located, but during our review we got a 100% match bonus on our first two deposits.

A one-off 100% bonus is valuable, but it’s relatively common. Getting it on the two deposits is a much more rare.

Ongoing promotions

There are lots of ongoing promotions too which is great. Every day, Betsson chooses several accumulator bets from different sports to receive enhanced odds. You can find them in the daily specials section of the website.

Betsson has integrated its sportsbook with its online casino games and online poker room too. That means you automatically qualify for the bonuses and promotions associated with each of them.

New users will be given the chance to play casino games like roulette or slots for free, or enter into freeroll poker tournaments.

Betsson launches new campaigns all the time, so it’s worth checking the promotions page regularly to make sure you don’t miss any free bets, money back specials, progressive jackpots or any other bonuses that give you a valuable edge.

We found plenty of options in Betsson’s cashier so chances are good one of the options will work for you. You can deposit using bank cards including Visa and Mastercard, bank transfer, prepaid cards or popular e-wallet services like Neteller or Skrill. During our tests each method we tried worked smoothly. Our payments were processed immediately and we had instant access to our money to bet with.

Withdrawals

When you want to withdraw funds, Betsson gives you basically the same options. Withdrawals are processed within 24 hours. Depending on what method you are using, you might get your money a little later. During our tests, we found that the e-wallet services were the quickest options for withdrawing. Nevertheless, even though the others took a little longer we had no issues with any of the options.

Settling bets

Another issue that can make or break a sportsbook is how quickly successful bets are settled. Betsson says that they aim to settle all bets within 15 minutes, which is great. In our experience, our bets were settled much quicker - instantly or within just a few minutes.

Betsson has repeatedly demonstrated that it takes security and ethics seriously. The company goes out of its way to highlight responsible gambling and provide support for players in this regard.

Betsson is based in and licenced in Malta. Wherever Betsson is available, it operates legally under the regulation of local bodies. For the UK market, for example, Betsson received a licence from the UK Gambling Commission. In our opinion, you should have no concerns about using Betsson from a security point of view.

Customer service

Betsson has a help centre with a very comprehensive list of FAQs. We found them easy to browse and it’s also searchable. We suspect that 90% of the time whatever query or issue you have will be addressed in one of the articles.

If not, or if you just want to get some personalized assistance, you can always contact Betsson directly. There’s live chat, email and phone support. When we had questions we got through to someone immediately. The support representatives were helpful and friendly.

Even with the best website in the world, sportsbooks fall short without an app to match. Betsson’s app is available for Android and iOS devices. In order to review the Betsson sports app we tried it out on a variety of phones and tablets and it works great.

We really like the usability of the app. Similar to the website, the menus are hidden when not in use so the screen space is maximized. This is especially important on the small screen. The app has the exact same capabilities as the website. The promotions, the customer service, the deposits and withdrawals are all easy to access from the app.

The live betting section is even more prominent on the app, you can cycle between in-play bets and other events via the tab at the top. We like that live betting is prioritized. The biggest changes to sports betting in the last number of years have been about the ability to bet quickly on live events as they play out, and the Betsson app does that really well.

We really can’t find many flaws with Betsson. The range of sports and betting is up there with the best sportsbooks we‘ve reviewed. It’s clear that a lot of effort has been put into the design of both the website and the app, and it’s really smooth to use.

We love the super generous sign up offer, and the extra promotions for the casino games and poker are a nice bonus. From a security, banking and customer service perspective Betsson is professional and dependable.

Betsson continues to work hard to stand out from the crowd and we expect it to keep improving and growing in years to come. If you decide to try it for yourself, use the links on this page for the hassle-free way to sign up.
