BlackBet Website

The dark background, light text and turquoise highlights on this website look really neat. Everything is laid out in an orderly fashion, which makes it easier for you to get a bet on. Quick links to today’s football and current live events are on the left, above a full list of sports. The centre of the screen has rolling adverts by default but will become populated by whatever you click on. Beneath the ads are live in-play events, separated by tabs for convenience. The bet slip is on the right, above a list of popular bets.

When logged in, your name acts as a link to the My Account section. Once there, you can deposit and withdraw cash as well as add new payment methods. Your open bets can be reviewed, with the option to cash out any bets that qualify for the feature. You can view a full betting history and edit your personal details.

The in-play section has live betting for football, tennis, cricket, volleyball and various other sports. Some supporting statistics and on screen information is provided to assist with your decision making, though there are no pitch visualisations that other bookmakers provide. The number of in-play markets varies from sport to sport and high-profile football has the largest selection.

Blackbet Mobile Betting

You can access the website on any modern smartphone or tablet and the odds and markets will display correctly. The fully optimised mobile site has all of the markets and odds that are available on desktop, so you won’t be missing out on anything by using the platform. The mobile betting site is well laid out and extremely simple to use, so you can bet on the move with ease. At the time of writing, there are no betting apps for this bookmaker.

Sports Betting

Sports betting is Blackbet’s bread and butter, which means you’ll get all the features you’d expect from a modern online bookmaker. In practice, the cashout feature allows you to end a bet early, price boosts give you enhanced odds and 1X2 bets let you back or lay a home win, draw or away win. In terms of the available markets, the site has a particular focus on football, horse racing, cricket and tennis. However, you’ll be able to place in-play and pre-event wagers on 24 different sports, including golf, volleyball, GAA hurling and more.

In comparative terms, Blackbet is on par with the likes of Unibet and Betfred in terms of the quantity and quality of its odds. However, this site gets the upper-hand on its peers by offering virtual sports. By clicking on the “virtuals” tab, you’ll be able to speculate on digital football matches as well as greyhound, horse and motor racing events. As well as impressive graphics, these virtual showdowns are completely random and controlled by the same technology that ensures a fair result when you play online games.

The benefit of virtual sports is that the action never stops. Even though Blackbet covers sporting events from around the world, there will be times when there’s a lull in the action. That isn’t the case with virtual sports. Therefore, if you’re looking for a true 24/7 online betting experience, Blackbet has the answer.

Casino

Despite focusing the majority of its time and resources on sports betting, Blackbet’s developers have put together a neat little gambling package. Is it the biggest and best online casino ever created? Possibly not. However, all the main bases are covered. As you’d expect, slots top the bill in terms of quantity, with big-name titles from the likes of Microgaming, SG Digital and NextGen. Although NetEnt’s leading slots aren’t present, you have got instant access to 312 video slots from a host of leading developers.

In fact, Blackbet’s selling point is that it tries to go beyond the norm. Yes, popular games such as Jurassic World and Break Da Bank are available in free play and real money modes. However, what you’ll also find are niche titles that aren’t as readily available online. By offering the likes of Mad Hatters and Cosmic Cat, Blackbet is allowing you to try something different and, in turn, separating itself from the pack. This mentality is also present inside the blackjack, roulette and video poker lobbies. As well as traditional variants, you’ll find interesting alternatives such as Realistic Gaming’s lifelike Realistic Roulette and Multi Wheel Roulette Gold from Microgaming.

By providing a combination of familiar titles and less popular ones, this site is catering to both ends of the market. For newbies that want the best there is, all the big names are present. For seasoned players that want a break from the norm, there are plenty of exotic options to keep you busy. Yes, it would be great to see more than three jackpot slots and, yes, a few live dealer games would be nice. However, the overall package is still impressive and well worth a look.
