BetStars Sportsbook Review

Betstars, is the sports betting and casino branch of the well-known and well-regarded online poker provider, Pokerstars. Thousands of customers use the sites for all three online entertainments on a regular basis, cementing the company’s status as one of the major bookmakers around the world. Betstars takes its reputation as an online Sportsbook seriously, which is why its licensed in Malta, part of the Gambling Commission and actively promotes responsible play through GambleAware.

Betting Markets

Betstars has an extensive range of betting markets for respecting bettors to get their teeth into. As a customer, you can choose from all the major sports such as that old favourite, Horse Racing, the beautiful game, Football, and the real man’s sport, Rugby. Many other more obscure sports (and even E-Sports) are also available, and all have considerable depth in terms of betting markets and bet types for various upcoming events. Betstars has a very cool and innovative feature to its betting not seen on any other bookmaker – the Spin & Bet feature. On certain bets, you can choose to spin for a chance to enhance the odds by up to 10x – for customers this is very engaging and entertaining. The bookmaker also has a large and varied range of customer promotions and offers on current events and regular sports. As a new customer if you place your first bet of £20, you can get two £10 free bets to use on other sports, a great offer to draw in new punters. The site offers BOG on the horses, profit boosts on winning Accas and a range of insurance offers to entice and give value to regular customers. The account area of the site has a comprehensive loyalty tracker, where you can work through challenges to gain points and level up for better rewards and bonuses.

Live Betting

As one would expect from one of the larger bookmakers in the Sports Betting scene, a full and detailed Live Betting experience is available on the Betstars website. You can have a clear overview of all the events current inplay, or deep-dive into many more betting markets for a specific game that you might be interested in. Real-time odds, detailed statistics and a beautiful event visual work well to provide a strong overall betting experience. You can cash out on both pre-match and inplay bets, adding another layer of strategy to your play.

Casino

Betstars also has both an online and a live casino with the newest and most popular video slots, jackpots and tables games to choose from. Again, a huge range of promotions aim to entice players into here and keep them playing for longer – there’s even global and local leaderboards and rankings to add a further element of competition to wagering. To play on Pokerstars, you can navigate via the top menu to the main site, and can join a range of online poker tables and tournaments on at all hours of the day, every day of the week.

Usability of the Site

Betstars is generally an attractive, appealing online bookmaker to use. The interface is clear, logical, and has useful cross-platform links in all the right places to allow for easy and quick navigation across Casino, Poker and Sports. At time maybe a little cluttered, the site has an unbelievable amount of content on display, keeping users informed of currently available offers, major sporting events and even major Pokerstars/Betstars news. One negative found from using the site, which is disappointing for any regular sports bettor, is the lack of competitiveness in odds across all sports – Betstars lags behind its competitors in this respect. All sports bettors want to get the best available odds for their selection, so this could cause some of the more shrewd customers to use their money elsewhere. Also, Betstars has been very ambitious with its User Accounts area and the offering, which is tailored to each individual customer. At times it feel like it’s trying to do too much, and becomes clunky, cramped and disorganised. Points sometimes don’t update as they should, and graphics are slow to load. Customer support and Live Chat has sometimes been slow in the past, however you rest assured that all complaints are logged and get resolved in a timely manner.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Betstars has a solid offering in terms of its Sportsbook currently available to customers worldwide. The site offers all the right Sports and markets, with some cool additional features, and a mass of promotions to attract even more customers. In future, it could be good to see both Llve streaming of major sporting events, and more competitive odds on offer to its users. Aside from polishing off a few minor flaws, Betstars offers a high quality betting outfit that everyone should experience.
