Bet365 seems to tick the right boxes regarding what a betting platform offers punters. From the welcome package through sports coverage to banking and support, we’ll mention at a glance how Bet365 fares.
The welcome package is a 100% bonus of up to $30 in Bet Credits with a min $10 deposit. After placing $15, I received $15 in Bet Credits which I put bets worth the amount. Unfortunately, after staking my Bet Credits, I wasn’t able to withdraw any returns from it but had to use them in fulfilling playthrough requirements.
A walkthrough in the sports coverage section captured my attention. There’s a pretty good number of sports which you can bet on—soccer, rugby, cycling, cricket and table tennis—you name it. Soccer is my favourite sport, and I was able to place my stake on Liverpool clinching the UEFA Champions League, but I was on the losing end. The accumulator bet is impressive as it allows you to stake on multiple games at a go.
Any bettor will want to have as many markets at their disposal before placing their bet. The betting markets at Bet365 are many as you can consider aspects such as Outright Winner, Top Scorer or Draw No Bet, whichever floats your boat. The odds are competitive, too, so you’re assured decent wins even for a straightforward bet.
Once you have your single or accumulator bet in place, you need to load your account with cash. I chose Visa as my deposit method, filled in the required details, and my balance was automatically reflected in my account a few seconds later. I still used my Visa card as per Bet365 requirements and got my cash in three business days for the withdrawal.
Customer support was a big letdown as only email, live chat, and post were the only options. The live chat is prolonged, considering the traffic from Ghanaians visiting the site.
Bet365 doesn’t have a direct-to-download mobile app from the App Stores but rather an apk file that will allow it to install after lifting app restrictions on your device.
