NordicBet

Background:

There is no doubt that NordicBet is a leading European bookie in the betting industry and they have been in the online operations since 2000. They are located at Malta and owned by the Nordic Gaming Group Ltd. Their licenses are routed through the Lotteries and Gaming Authorities of Malta and this body regulates their betting operations online. Since they target the European clientele they make it a point to focus their betting opportunities in the sporting events most popular across Europe. Catering majorly to the Scandinavian audience they seem to fizzle out in terms of market share in the global betting industry but within their territory they make sure to offer their clientele a reliable and fun haven to source a number of reasonable odds in the market and coverage across the most popular sporting events in Northern Europe.

Bonus and Special Promotions:

These guys are great with their bonuses and punters in Europe do know them for their generosity. For instance, their welcome bonus itself is a 100% Match-Up to the tune of €100!! But this is only applicable to customers from certain countries and the payout changes numbers across different locales as their bonuses are geo-targeted more often than not. Additionally they also tout a number of nice bonuses in the live betting sections for different bets and free bets are not unusual to find here. Also in terms of major sporting events that are picking up on the buzz feed and turning in some great action for betters, punters betting through NordicBet can stumble across some really generous cash back specials on Goal Scorer, Draws, Result Scores and so on. The folks are not known for massively indulging in coverage but within their turf they sure know how to deal out the freebies well!

Sports Betting Coverage:

The NordicBet sportsbook offers fairly comprehensive coverage in the sports betting opportunities across Northern Europe. Of course for punters looking for the crazy action on mixed martial arts and cycling or greyhounds, this isn’t the place but they make sure to accommodate some really good deals in football, tennis, handball, ice hockey and baseball. In fact, in terms of football they sure support bets from the league divisions all the way down to the 4th division playoffs and there is some credit to be given to the bookie here for providing the same services. While they obviously offer bets across horse racing, darts, snooker, golf, boxing, motor sports, entertainment and volleyball among others it must be pointed out that the odds offered here do not stand up to the offers available across other equally good sportsbooks. That said, they provide great live streaming coverage of the major sporting events across the globe if punters choose to set up a funded account with them.

Sports Betting Types:

The NordicBet sportsbook is powered by proprietary software that is appreciated because of the handling capabilities as demonstrated in the interface and the accessibility of the online sportsbook. A particularly cool feature is the live betting section which has been recently redesigned and its streaming speeds are really fast and the arena is well-oiled. A number of betting options are on offer across their markets and multiple selections and system bets (as they’re called here) can go up to 15 selections on a betting slip. Some of these multiples include Heinz, accumulators, trixies, Lucky 7 and forecasts and tricasts. Players can easily ask for a limit rise by checking the selection box present in the betting slip. And their automated system of updating results are a quick way to make sure punters can cash in on their ‘blue’ tickets which signal a win!

Payment Options:

The NordicBet sportsbook is safe and secure and they make use of the superior SSL network to encrypt their customers’ information and financials. So punters can rest free about the same and easily fund their accounts. Now about funding, the payment options on offer here they allow punters to pay via five currencies which include US Dollars, Euros, Danish Krones and Norwegian Krones. Payment options include major credit and debit cards, bank transfers, money orders and e-wallets (Skrill Moneybookers and Neteller) along with EntroPay and ClickandBuy. Withdrawals can only be processed once some validation of identity is provided and are routed through the same channel of deposition. NordicBet doesn’t charge for these services and all transaction costs are routed through the third party intermediary.

Customer Services:

The NordicBet sportsbook is known for boasting a great support staff that is available to all punters at any time of day or night. These representatives of the bookie are available on live chat, via email and also by telephone. It must be pointed out here that their telephone service is available only on working days from Monday to Friday but email and live chat is on 24 by 7. There is an additional feature of a help center which is a comprehensive guide to maneuvering and finally mastering the learning curve involved on betting at NordicBet along with answers to possible queries on security and account information.

Verdict:

Notwithstanding the coverage featured in this sportsbook, the NordicBet experience is still a great one because of its friendly web design, the odds offered on the popular football events and their live betting features like “Live Scores” and “Live Bets”. They are a reasonably good bookie but in the European market, they are surely a trendsetter with the attention paid to minor divisional sports and the like, which is a great way to tap into a small market with bigger possibilities.
