    What is Fafabet all about?

    Bonuses

    Fafabet offers a good range of bonuses and offers for customers, including a welcome offer that pays you 50% of your first day’s losses up to the value of £50, plus a £20 free casino bet. As welcome offers go, it’s not as competitive as some of the others we’ve seen, but Fafabet do well with their promos for existing customers, including create a bet promos, acca offers, best odds guaranteed on horse racing and more. 

    Available sports

    Fafabet has a decent selection of sports, but their market depth isn’t as comprehensive as some of the top sports betting operators in the UK. However, Fafabet’s markets should be plenty good enough for most bettors’ needs.

    User experience and interface

    Fafabet’s website is clean, clear and easy to navigate. It might not have as many features as some other sites on the market, but as a sports betting platform, it does exactly what it needs to do, without too many frills. The biggest issue we encountered was the relatively short time it takes for the site to log you out. if that's resolved then 

    Mobile and app compatibility

    The Fafabet app is right up there alongside some of the better apps we’ve reviewed, but being a relative newcomer to the market means it doesn’t have the App Store and Google Play ratings to match it. The scores, from a very small number of reviews/raters, are low, but they don’t reflect our positive experience of using the app.

    App Store: 3.3/5 stars (72 ratings)

    Google Play: 1.7/5 stars (9 reviews)

    VIP programmes and loyalty rewards

    Fafabet doesn’t run a specifically-labelled VIP or loyalty rewards programme, but some of its bonuses are based around repeating customer interactions. Placing an in-play bet at odds of 3.0 or greater will earn you a free bet up to the value of £10 the following day, based on 5% of your total bets across the markets in question.
