BetPack Sportsbook Review

BetPack burst onto the bookmaking scene in the early noughties to much acclaim and fan fair. Based and operating in Ireland, the company is fully licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, and also adheres to the ethical and responsible gambling organisation GamStop and GambleAware.co.uk. BetPack completely focuses on its Irish customers, and as such, UK players are currently not eligible for an account on the site.

Betting Markets

Betpack is definitely packaged up as a no frills bookmaker focused on sports, which is why your out straight into the action for sports betting when first entering the site. The site has all the most popular sports available in the world today, including Football, Rugby, Tennis and even UK and Irish Horse Racing, an old favourite of the Irish. The only major sport segment missing here is E Sports, but hopefully this is something the bookie can look to add into its offering in the near future. A handy toolbar and filtering system can allow you to search and explore via Sport, Competition and Major Upcoming Events, and within each event there’s a reasonable level of depth to the betting markets, with enough on offer to satisfy most punters – particularly on the footie and the races. You can place singles, doubles and even 10_+ selection Accas, so if you make the right picks you could get lucky and win big off small stakes. Disappointingly, BetPack doesn’t currently offer any form of Promotion to either new or existing and loyal customers, we told you it was a no frills bookmaker. In general the site is as simple as they come, a platform where you can focus on placing your sports bets without distraction.

Live Betting

BetPack incorporates Live in play betting into its online platform, giving a boost of excitement and upping the intensity of your betting experience. All the events are highlighted which are currently taking place around the world, with the respective odds updating as the game progresses and the score line updates. You can click on a specific event to get some additional statistics and information on what’s going on in the game, with info like cards, corners and possession helping you to make a better decision about what to place your in play bet on. Live Streaming is not something currently available on the BetPack website, so if you want to want your game in real time its recommended to utilise a third party site for this.

Casino

BetPack has both a Casino and a Lotto section on offer for customers to explore. The games however aren’t the best out there for top notch, fast paced entertainment, they’re all quite outdated, although Game of Thrones is definitely a decent slot worth checking out. You can explore Slots, and Blackjack only, none of the other table games are available. The lotto section of the site is a nice feature, they do a draw every day to encourage customers to return each day to see if they’ve won.

Usability of the Site

BetPack has modern and distinctive branding and a theme of green, definitely giving a nod to Paddy and their Irish heritage. The site is intuitive and easy to navigate, with drop down menus and toolbars in all the right places. You can deposit and withdraw funds visa debit card, and also a range of E Wallets incuding the biggest two – Neteller and Skrill, so lots of flexibility here. Customer support is available by Live Chat, Email, and Phone, with existing reviews reporting its generally of a high quality.

Conclusion

In conclusion, BetPack is a pretty decent bookmaker when in comes to the overall layout and setup of their site, and their Sportsbook. There’s two big issues the company needs to focus on if it wants to improve and expand in the future. The lack of Promotions or price boosts is a big negative in the current market where offering a variety of these is the standard for all customers to enjoy. Additionally, it would be positive to see the site open up to the UK market, vastly increasing the number of possible customers available to target and allowing them to use the site for betting.
