Bwin Review

7/10

Background

Bwin, formerly known as betandwin, was founded in 1997 and has been listed on the Stock Exchange since 2000. Based in Gibraltar, they are not particularly big in the UK but have huge presence across Europe, especially in countries such as Spain and Germany to the extent where they now claim to have over a million customers worldwide

Website (8)

Bwin's website stands out from the crowd in many respects. The focal point of the homepage is a rotating graphic, promoting upcoming events, virtually of all of which will be covered In-Play. Staying on the live theme, you''ll find a range of current In-Play events to the right-hand side, a list of sports on the left and a pre-match coupon underneath the graphic. In short, a lot going on!

In addition, the registration and bet placement processes are very straightforward, with customers reassured that they are betting safely and securely along the way.

Odds and Markets (8)

Put simply, bwin have a huge football offering available to their customers and, if you like betting on a range of football leagues (no matter how obscure), then this could be the company for you. Their football traders leave no stone unturned when it comes to pricing up matches in Europe, South America and Asia. As a result of this wide and varied book offering, their odds are more likely to be categorised as reasonable rather spectacular.

Customers can also choose from more than 80 sports at Bwin, with a particularly strong service for Formula 1, tennis and basketball (all popular sports in Spain). They also tend to publish their odds well in advance of many competitors and this is often where you’ll find some very favourable prices.

E-mail: support.en@bwin.com. Telephone: 00350 777 61 (from Monday to Sunday from 10h00 – 22h00 GMT+2) Fax: 0043-1-5856044-18

Introductory Offer (5)

Bwin do not have an introductory betting offer.

Verdict

There are probably better propositions for UK-based football punters and bwin's horse racing service can probably be best described as token. However, this is a pan-European company which has a fantastic In-Play service and offers a huge range of pre-match and live betting opportunities on football matches and other big sporting events from around the world. They’re quick on the draw when it comes to putting up their odds, responding to a customer query or paying out on a bet.
