Favbet Sportsbook Review

Favbet is a bookmaker which has been in existence in the hectic sports betting marketplace since 1999.

Favbet is well regarded in the Eastern European gaming market and has over 1000 betting shops. It operates thanks to its Curacao International Gaming Licence and offers punters sports betting, casino, and Virtual Sports too.

FavBet is closely linked as a partner with Betinvest, a firm which is based in London but has an operational office in Ukraine and employs over 180 people.

Favbet gets involved in social media as all bookies tend to do these days, though the Favbet Twitter has less than 1500 followers so a far cry from the Paddy Powers and Ladbrokes of the world.

Betting markets

Favbet offers its punters the following sports markets: American Football, Aussie Rules, Badminton Baseball, Basketball, Biathlon, Beach Volleyball, Boxing, Chess, Cricket, Cycling, Darts, Esports, Football, Formula 1, Futsal, Golf, Handball, Ice Hockey, Motor Sports, Olympics, Rugby Union, Rugby League, Tennis, UFC/ MMA and Water Polo.

It somewhat oddly refers to esports as Cybersports. It also has Specials which include novelty markets such as TV and awards.

In-play betting

Favbet TV makes betting live at Favbet quite the experience. You need money in your account to watch the streams or to have placed a bet on the specified event.

The Favbet inplay product is generally easy to get to grips with, there are no interesting graphics as some bookmakers include to make it more entertaining but then the live streaming diminishes the need for this.

Usability of the site

You can download the Favbet mobile app to bet with on the go or when out and about on your phone or tablet. It’s a solid app and functionality is good with fast response times.

The main site looks a little cheesy with less than elegant graphics but it’s bright and cheery too, functionality is solid and navigation easy to get a handle on. There’s also a search bar function which always scores a plus point.

In addition there’s a Promotions tab on the main page to the far right which is another plus point and always worth checking in on when checking in.

Customer support is 24/7; it consists of live chat, email and over the phone. The Favbet site is available in English, German, Greek, Spanish, French, Croatian, Italian, Romanian, Russian, Polish, Slovak, Ukrainian, Turkish, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish and Bulgarian.

There’s a news site which features mostly match previews. It’s not the best presented however, in that it has the appearance of a cheap blog, and this takes something away from its credibility. The cybersports section is great however if you’re an esports fan or like betting on competitive gaming events.

Conclusion

Favbet is big on esports yet why it calls it cybersports is anyone’s guess. Favbet TV and its live streaming make it a good place to come for live betting, and the promotions sections is always worth heading to first thing.

Customer support is solid, as are the odds and site in general, especially if you prefer mobile betting as you can get your hands on the Favbet mobile app!
