Mobilebet Review

MobileBet are relatively new to the betting world, having formed as recently as 2009. They are based in Malta, and were given their license to operate as a betting company during the summer of 2015. They are part of the Co-Gaming Limited family of betting websites, and MobileBet’s offerings include a casino that has around 450 slots and games ranging from the usual favourites roulette and poker, to creative slot games such as Cyrus the Virus, Starburst and Immortal Romance.

Deposit & Withdrawals

MobileBet have made sure they offer the typical range of payment methods, with Debit/Credit cards the man port of call. They do offer bank transfer, so EntroPay, Neteller and Skrill are all included. Currencies range from GBP and EUR, through to NOK (Norwegian Krone) and SEK (Swedish Krona). Unsurprisingly, they are popular not only in the United Kingdom, but also Scandinavia. £4,000 is the withdrawal limit per transaction, and the fourth of those and beyond will incur a £4 cost.

Customer Service

MobileBet do not make it clear on their front page how to access their customer service options. Their original page prior to entering the site, which include a promotional offer, has a link to the live chat on the right-hand side, but not an FAQ. A quick Google search tells you that you can access their help page by simply adding ‘support’ to the website address. Live Chat and email is included, though these only run from around 8-9am to 9-9.30pm every day. They do not have telephone contact details, which means there is no way of actually speaking with one of their employees.

License Information

Betting limits

Mobilebet have a maximum for winnings to any customer on any day for bets placed on this website. This is £100,000 or equivalent.

Types of bets

Mobilebet accept all standard types of bets including singles, multiples and combination bets.

Sport coverage

It is worth noting that MobileBet, being a new company compared to some of their longer-established rivals, have a selection of bets to match any of them. They offer a comprehensive amount of sports, including all the major ones such as football, tennis, rugby, and NBA, but also Aussie Rules and e-sports. This is good to see, considering they are trying to compete with some companies with years more experience. As a whole, you may get better odds on some markets elsewhere, but not by a considerable margin.

In-play experience

Again, the more popular sections of a market, such as football, are just as good as most of their rivals, though there can be a lack of particularly obscure bets in their in-play, for the more extroverted online better. With other areas of a particular sport, for example football, they do offer in-play on games such as those in the Philippines, which is good as it is such an obscure market, but only the very basic offers. These are usually Score, Odd/Even and Over/Under, rather than goalscorers, minutes of goals, number of corners or cards.

The Mobilebet site is very easy on the eye and they have made the welcome page interface very basic. This is a good thing as it makes it very easy to find the sport you wish to bet on. We did find that pages take a little time to load which could be frustrating for some users.

The colour scjeme of the site is excellent, using a black, dark grey and lime green scheme to enhance the userbility of the whole site.

When you reach the home page you have a single main menu with just 5 options so nothing confusing here. Also the top section clearly displays the main welcome bonus which is a 200% matched deposit bonuses well as a clear green question mark (?) making it very easy to get to the help section.

When we look at the main page it uses the three column approach. The left column holds upcoming events and not a list of sports like many other sites

The middle section is where Mobilebet really have it right. You have a scrolling horizontal sports menu which has the name of the sport as well as a big coloured icon to clearly show which sports are available to bet on. This bar can be scrolled by just clicking a left or right arrow.

The right hand side of the page holdes the betslip.

That is it, a really nicely laid out page that just does what it is supposed to do.

In terms of additional content like a blog or tips or data analysis, then this is where Mobilebet are very weak as their is nothing like this to help punters/bettors with their picks.

The average betting margin across sports at Mobilebet is not too bad at 5.1%. There is certainly room for improvement, especially in the margin they have for tennis betting which runs at an average of 7.2% which is not competitive compared to other sportsbooks and online bookmakers.

Where they do offer real value is on football betting. Mobilebet are clearly a bookmaker that focus on providing a good football betting service to their customers and this is backed up by an average margin of just 4.2% which would be in the top 1/3 of all bookmakers we have reviewed.

If you are a fan of American sports like Basketball, Baseball and American Football then these are also pretty competitive with margins for each one coming in at under five per cent.

As we mentioned in the odds section, football really is a key sport for them and this is where you will find the largest market coverage.

Looking at the top games in the Premier League and other European leagues, we have seen anywhere between 120 – 150 seperate markets on each game. It is also worth pointing out how easy it is to find markets on Mobilebet.

They have the same horizontal scrolling technology that they use to find sports. So, in an individual match you will have all the markets available at your fingertips with a right to left scroll and a single mouse click.

Mobilebet probably have one of the best In-play interfaces we have tested, it follows the main concept of site colour scheme and layout but it is the ease with which you can find a market so quickly in just three clicks.

Click on Live Betting form the main menu and it opens up the events happening right now.
Find the event you wish to bet on and click the total events number that you will see on the right of the event.

Use the horizontal scroll to find which market segment you wish to bet on.

This literally takes just a few seconds. Once inside the market you will see a visual data tab on the right hand side column with all stats that have happened in the event so far. This makes it really easy for In-play punters to get a feel for what has already happened in the event and can give pointers as to possible trends they can bet on In-play.

If we had one thing as a negative, and it is a slight negative, It is that the font size could be larger. Of course modern web browsers allow you to optimise this on your own machine.

As with the betting interface there is nothing flashy in terms of bonuses and promotions. Mobile bet keep it very simple.

You have the main sign up bonus which allows you to deposit £10 and get a £20 bonus (200%) straight off the bat. You also have their daily calendar offers which have a different offer every day of the month, these can be for sports, casino, live casino and live betting.

There is also a loyalty program which allows you to collect points for various gifts, rewards and free bets.

In terms of the payment methods offered it is very easy to deposit and withdraw on Mobilebet with the main credit/debit cards available as well as e-wallet options including Neteller and Skrill as well as other electronic payment providers like Trustly and paysafecard.

There are a coupl eof important points to note regarding fes on deposits and withdrawals with Mobilebet

For deposits, fees vary according to the amount deposited: €0 – €250: 2.5%; €251 – €3000: 0% so you should be aware that a smaller deposit is going to cost you a fee of 2.5%. This would be on top of any fees levied by your payment provider

With withdrawals you have 2 free withdrawals in any 30-day cycle, further withdrawals after this are charged at €5 each and are applied to any withdrawal method.

Good quality and very quick response (less than 30 seconds) and knowledgeable staff.
