Sportnation.bet Review

Sportnation.bet (formerly Bet On Brazil) was founded by Scottish international football player Alan Brazil, who also played for Ipswich under the mercurial management of Bobby Robson, as well as playing for the mighty Manchester Utd. The site at Sportnation.bet has been designed with complete ease of use for the player. It focuses on sports betting and casino, which means no other distractions for the serious football, horse racing, golf and tennis punter. The site offers not only fixed odds betting, but also live and in play markets across 16 sports, with each event having 100+ markets to choose from. It gives you the opportunity to bet on a very specific market within your favorite sport, therefore increasing your chances of winning.

One of the main features of a punter friendly sports betting site is “Cash Out” and Sportnation.bet have this offer. Just to explain “What is Cash Out” if you have not heard of this benefit before. Let us say you have a double on two football matches and you are backing both teams to win. Team A is 2-0 up after 85 minutes, whilst team B is drawing 1-1 after 80 minutes. In this scenario your bet is more likely to lose, but with “Cash Out” you will be offered an amount to take right now while the games are live. It could be a small profit or small loss. It is really a type of insurance and allows you the opportunity to limit losses and maximise profits.

Sportnation.bet also have a great online studio sports show. This is live on the site, and guest speakers are bought in to discuss various daily sporting events and pass on analysis and tips. Sportnation.bet class their site as an online entertainment destination that gives you a sports betting edge. You can join their nation and get a 50% bonus TODAY!

License Information

For customers in the UK, Sportnation.bet licensed and regulated by the Gambling Commission

Odds format available: Decimal, Fractional and American. Decimal odds are quite straightforward to understand, as all you need to do is take the decimal number, lets say 5.0 and deduct 1 which would give you odds of 4/1. Fractional odds are exactly as its says on the tin…..a fraction. So lets take a price which is odds on which might be 1/3 or one third. So If you put a bet on of 1 pound, you will receive back your one pound stake plus one third, so a total of £1.33 When we talk about American odds. it can be a little more difficult to understand, buts lets try to simplify it for you. All bets are classed as a return to 100 points so American Odds of 150 would equate to 2.5 in decimal and 6/4 in fractional terms.

Sport coverage

At Sportnation.bet you will find full betting coverage of thirty four different sports to bet on.

In-play experience

Sportnation.bet provide “Live” betting on a wide range of events and one of the plus points they have is showing a calendar of upcoming live events.

Many bookmakers will only show the live events taking place that day and this is where we think Sportnation.bet actually excel, including a full range of international markets, not just the traditional European markets you might be used to.

Live streaming

Sportnation.bet do not currently provide live streaming on their site

We looked at the Sportnation.bet site around 6 months ago and are pleased to bring an updated review with the site now having had a complete facelift. The old site was somewhat stale and without a clear structure.

The new site has an excellent layout and the colours used really make the user journey much easier.

The site uses a combination of dark grey, orange and range of blue and green colours. You would not think this would work but it looks outstanding, especially the top menu which is white on a dark background.

Underneath the logo in the top left is a sub menu with links to promotions, price boosts and the help section.

Also in this section you will find an item called “News” which is linked to a really great blog which has a range of text and video news elements for each sport. A full range of sports are covered and on the right side of the blog, you can vote in the poll of the week.

The only frustrating thing about visiting the blog is that it does not open in a new window.

Most of Sportnation.bet odds are of a comparable level to many of the more well known online bookmakeers.

Where they have an edge though is with their In-play odds where they do seem totake more risk by offering better prices.

Some of there price boosts are exceptional and you can see increases of between 10% – 20% on a range of multiple bets

With football being the main betting sport on Sportnation they have to have a strong market coverage.

They now cover 56 individual countries with multiple leagues in each country. When we look at the number of markets then on average you will find more than 100 markets on any one game.

This gives football punters more than 40,000 markets to be on each week with weekends being even bigger.

Opening the In-play interface gives you a complete view of all upcoming games plus those that are scheduled.

It is easy to switch the view that you look at with event view and Asian view for people who prefer to bet on Asian markets.

The interface is really clear with bolded elements to help you pick out each game. A small thing but one we think is important to point out is that next to each game you will see a small country flag icon telling you which country the game is being played in.

It is not something we have seen on other sites and just helps the user a little by making it quick to select games to bet on.

Sportnation.bet have really improved their offers over the last 6 months and now have a daily and weekly incentive over and above their other promotions.

You now get daily bet boosts on a wide range of sports, as well as a weekly free bet promotion where you can get a £5 free bet.

Add to this a new rewards programme and Sportnation.bet are really attacking the market in a good way by offering clients some very attractive reasons to join.

As well as the ones we have outlined above you can take advantage of Acca Boosts, Best Odds Guaranteed as well as cash out and partial cash out.

Sportnation.bet currently only offer VISA and Mastercard payments. This of course is not the best situation as many people now wish to bet and deposit using other forms of payment such as e-wallets and pre paid cards.

If this is you then Sportnation will not be for you. Some questions that we asked about the process have been listed below.

What is the minimum and maximum amount that I can deposit?

The minimum amount you can deposit is £10.00
The maximum amount you can deposit is £20,000.00

Do I have to pay any fees for my deposit or withdrawal?

Charges related to deposits and/or withdrawals of funds from your account may apply to reflect the cost incurred by them as a result of processing excessive transactions.

However, they will notify you in advance before applying any charges to your card.

Very quick online as we waited 10 seconds. It states on the site that response times are up to 3 minutes and on a couple of questions we asked, this was the case.

The support staff see knowledgeable about various sports and the way in which the questions were answered were courteous and professional.

Sportnation.bet have one of the most comprehensive sections on “Responsible Gambling” showing that they take this area very seriously.
