What is Casumo all about?
Bonuses
Casumo offers two competitive welcome bonuses, depending on which platform you plan to play on. Sports bettors can get 50% back as a free bet up to £25, while casino players can get 100% bonus up to £100 and 50 free spins.
Ensure you select the sports offer as you go through the sign-up process. At the time of our review, there was also a 20% profit boost available on bet builders, also a 'second chance' promo bonus of 50% up to £10 in Free Bet, with a minimum stake of £5.
Available sports
Casumo has an impressive selection of sports available to bet on, though its Swedish roots mean that some of the niche sports lean more towards Scandinavian favourites like trotting and winter sports, rather than more popular UK sports. Darts and greyhound racing are both missing, for example. But overall, the selection of sports at Casumo is pretty solid and should cater to most, if not all, of your sports betting needs.
User experience and interface
While some sports betting websites are all business, Casumo Sports’ site is much softer and fun in its design. The purple colourway is bright and vibrant, while the layout of the web pages on the desktop site offers a fresh, different way to present odds and markets. For regular sports bettors, it might take a little getting used to, but its simplicity makes it pretty easy to get the hang of. For new users who don’t plan to run multiple accounts, this could be an ideal option.
Mobile and app compatibility
If the desktop site is fresh, simple and different, the app is even better. It’s smart, uncluttered and very easy to navigate. The app is relatively new and as such hasn’t amassed a huge amount of reviews, with the scores currently a modest 3.5 on App Store and 2.4 on Google Play.
But for most of the reviews we checked out, they’re assessing the app as a casino product, rather than as a sports betting app. We reckon it’s worth a much higher rating, due to its ease of use for newbie punters.
App Store: 3.5/5 stars (372 ratings)
Google Play: 2.4/5 stars (507 reviews)
VIP programmes and loyalty rewards
While Casumo boasts a huge number of offers and promotions for existing customers, the same can’t be said for its sports betting product, which is a bit of a shame. Hopefully Casumo will start to add the sort of rewards and promos we often see across many of the other big sports betting sites in order to attract and retain more customers in the coming months.
