Fun Casino bookmaker review

By James Walters

Funcasino is the latest casino site to venture into the sports betting world. They’re owned by a Malta-based company and they launched their sportsbook in 2018. Their site is colourful and certainly catches the eye but what else do they offer?

Key information

What are Funcasino all about?

Bonuses

Funcasino don’t offer a welcome bonus for new customers on their sportsbook which is a major own goal considering how many offers are available elsewhere. Their only offer available is for their casino site.

Available sports

Funcasino has markets available for most major sports, which makes them an attractive proposition for new and experienced bettors.

They also cover numerous niche sports ranging from handball and water polo to a variety of winter sports.

Their football coverage is solid. They have vast markets for all the main leagues and you can combine your selections into a bet builder, which is attractive for many bettors. All the main markets are covered on their bet builder tab apart from player fouls. They also have an ‘insights’ tab on football games which offers odds based on in-depth statistics, which is a welcomed addition.

Funcasino has a decent in-play section on their site. You can bet on all the main sports like football and tennis, while you can also place bets on futsal, ice hockey and even esports. Their live tab has accompanying graphics and statistics to improve the user experience.

If you’re an esports fan, Funcasino is worth checking out. When I went on their esports page, there were around 300 markets under their today’s matches, tomorrow’s matches and upcoming matches sections. They had League of Legends, Dota 2, Counter-Strike and Valorant covered.

Their American sports sections are also impressive. You can create bet builders on NFL and NBA games, while they have plenty of markets available if you’re on the hunt for some value selections. They also have a boosted odds section on specific NFL games.

User experience and interface

The user experience on Funcasino is decent. There’s a lot going on with their blue, red and white colour scheme and the homepage has a beach at the top with palm trees and umbrellas. It does make you feel you’re booking a holiday, that puts you at ease when making your bets. 

If you click on the Funcasino logo on the top left of the screen it takes you to their homepage which is casino focused. You can scroll down to click on their sportsbook or specific sports from football to racing, however, the graphics for these individual sports are very basic and don’t look that professional.

When you go on the site, you’re greeted with a list of major sports above their acca boost banner. You then see boosted odds and their ‘bet mentor’ before you head down to their live markets.

Their ‘bet mentor’ is a brilliant addition to the site. Simply put in how much you are willing to bet, how much you want to win and then it suggests a bet. It’s a handy tool for bettors.

Mobile and app compatibility

Funcasino’s desktop and mobile sites slightly differ. The betslip moves from the top right on desktop to the bottom of the page on mobile while the list of sports and the search bar also moves. However, they’re all still accessible and easy to use on either platform. Their desktop site also has a ‘popular bets’ section which shows what people have been backing recently. It’s a useful tool but it isn’t available on their mobile site.

Their mobile site is simple and easy to use. They have tabs at the bottom of the page to your wallet (to deposit and withdraw), a search bar, a casino tab and an account option where you can see all of your details.

The Funcasino app, which is available on iOS, Android and Google Play, is the same as their mobile site and while it doesn’t blow you away, it does the job. It looks like it’s only a casino app when you download it, however, the sportsbook is also available. The app has an average rating of 4.5/5 (106 reviews) on the Apple App Store and 3.5/5 (22 reviews) on the Google Play Store.

Apple App Store: 4.5/5 (115 reviews)

Google Play Store: 3.5/5 (22 reviews)

VIP programmes and loyalty rewards

As we mentioned, Funcasino does not have a welcome bonus and unfortunately, they also fail to offer a VIP loyalty rewards programme for bettors. It puts them behind their rival sportsbooks, especially those that offer both.

Their main offer is their acca boost, which allows you to pocket 50 per cent more winnings. The bet must have four or more selections (at odds of 1/2) and you’ll receive more with every pick you add in.
