MegaBet Sportsbook Review
MegaBet is a new and modern bookmaker with a focus on mobile-friendly sports betting, casino and lotto play. Born from the same tree as Stan James, the bookie aims to deliver a seamless experience along with ticking all the boxes of security, fair gaming and ethical entertainment. The company is fully regulated and licensed by the UK Gambling Commission, meaning you can be sure your funds are safe within the company. GamStop, IBAS and GambleAware affiliations mean the site is definitely as trustworthy as they come.
Betting Markets
MegaBet has a wide range of sports markets, leagues and events to explore across many different countries world wide. The most popular sports are available, including Football, Tennis and Cricket, with even Horse Racing ready for betting on the site. The sports are quite limited when it comes to niche betting sports and markets, however a small minority of people are looking to bet on these so its definitely not a deal breaker. At the current moment in time, E Sports isn’t on the cards for placing bets on, so if this is your sport of choice then its recommended to look elsewhere. Clicking on a specific event opens up a decent selection of betting markets, and this is noticeable more on bigger leagues and countries, in this case focused in Europe. New customers get to enjoy a £10 free bonus upon sign up, and regular users can earn MegaPoints which can be cashed in for prizes, free bets and more. Best Odds Guaranteed, that old favourite, is also available on UK and Irish Horse Racing, making this bookmaker a good choice for a flutter on the races.
Live Betting
MegaBet has in play betting integrated into its main sports dashboard, just click on the inplay tab to only view events that are currently taking place right now around the world. The odds on these events update in real time automatically, with red representing a price reduce and green a price increase – just make sure you’re quick enough when placing bets before the odds move against you.
Casino
MegaBet offers both a Casino and Lotto service as part of its online setup, with some pretty decent slots hidden in the mix that are worth a spin on – we recommend Game of Thrones or Epic City if you’re not sure where to dive in. In addition to online slots, the classic table games Blackjack and Roulette are ready and waiting too. MegaBet doesn’t currently have a Live Casino. The Lotto area of the site does exactly what it says on the tin, choose some numbers and hope to get a big payout.
Usability of the Site
As online bookmakers go, MegaBet offers a reasonable website for players to enjoy and explore. The branding and advertising is modern, recognisable and sleek, and the layout is logical and intuitive with a definite focus on ease of use for the customer. Customers have a range of deposit and withdrawal options such as Visa and Mastercard, along with a dedicated account area for review sports bets and casino play. If you have any issues or queries, you can contact MegaBet via Live Chat and Email, and hopefully ensure you get a solution quickly so you can get back to sports betting.
Conclusion
In conclusion, MegaBet is a pretty solid bookmaker, with a reasonable offering across sports and casino that will definitely satisfy the average gambler. The site is stress free to use, and the overall layout is on point, with enough content to ensure customers stay on the site for a reasonable time. In future it would be great to see more promotions on offer, in addition to a Live Casino area to continue to expand the services that MegaBet offers.
