Heypoker Sportsbook Review
Heypoker is based in Malta and whilst there is a Heypoker sportsbook as a site it is unsurprisingly focused first and foremost on offering customers poker. Its poker product is powered by Ongame and the layout is the same as affiliated sites Whitebet and Redbet.
Heypoker has over 12,000 followers on Twitter, and offers regular promotions.
Heypoker boasts games by the likes of Microgaming, NetEnt, and Quickspin and via its Multiplay function users can play up to four games at one time. Some of the more popular games included on the platform are Aloha! Cluster pays, Guns N’ Roses, Koi Princess and Drive: Multiplayer Mayhem.
Betting markets
Heypoker offers the same sports as Whitebet and Redbet and the navigation is also the same. The full list of sports available on the site can be seen here: Football, American Football, Aussie Rules, Baseball, Basketball, Boxing, Cricket, Curling, Esports, Floorball, Gaelic Football, Golf, Handball, Ice Hockey, MMA, Pesapallo, Rugby League, Rugby Union, Snooker, Table Tennis, Tennis and Volleyball.
In addition to this some politics and specials markets are offered.
In-play betting
Live betting is extremely popular these days and Heypoker doesn’t let its punters down. It offers a live betting product, which despite being basic appearance wise, offers a number of events across sports in addition to live statistics from www.score24.com
You can bet on the go with Heypoker on football, table tennis, tennis and plenty more and this is easy to do with a search bar to find your event, and the main live betting page which shows all events in order of time. There’s also a navigation bar down the left hand column. That there is no specific Heypoker mobile product lets it down though as many will use tablets or phones for betting inplay.
Usability of the site
The Heypoker site is simple and thus it’s easy to get the hang of for all punters regardless of experience with betting online. The site is available in multiple languages, these are English, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, Polish and German. The major thing letting Heypoker down, as previously mentioned is the lack of a mobile app or mobile focused website.
Customer support is an integral cog in any online betting operator hoping to carve out a chunk of the competitive marketplace and Heypoker does well in this regard with customer support available in multiple languages, a strong live chat feature, email ([email protected]) and over the phone.
Heypoker utilises all of the main banking options for both deposit and withdrawal include Visa, Mastercard, Neteller, Skrill, paysafecard and more though it does not include Paypal at this time.
Conclusion
The languages in which the site and live chat are offered clearly shows its European focus, as does the sports it prioritises and includes such as football, ice hockey and handball not to mention the Finnish sport pesäpallo.
The site is easy to use due to the lack of promotional material and high powered graphics. Load times are fast, there’s a search bar for enhanced navigation and Heypoker live betting is adequate. To continue to thrive it needs to optimise mobile and launch a focused mobile product and preferably an app too. In addition to this Heypoker must make its site more appealing and fun to use if it’s to keep customers coming back.
