What is Midnite all about?

Bonuses

As you might expect from a relatively new brand trying to make an impact in the market, Midnite has come with some good welcome bonuses, including £25 in free bets + 50 free spins for new sports betting customers. There’s a similar welcome offer specific to horse racing bettors and another for casino players, too. 

Available sports

Midnite has a strong sports betting lineup, with all of the big sports and markets you’d expect to find on a top-line sports betting site. One area where they differentiate from their competitors is esports.

While some bookies pay lip service with a few markets in a small section, Midnite have gone all-in on esports and have an entire esports betting area on their site and app, rather than just a small section. Clearly, they want to be the best for esports betting. Their variety and depth of markets and odds available put Midnite head and shoulders above most of their competitors in that regard. 

User experience and interface

The Midnite website and app are right up there with the best-designed betting sites we’ve reviewed here at FIRST. The night mode colour scheme is unobtrusive, while the layout of the site and presentation of information is clear and comprehensive, without being overly cluttered.

Mobile and app compatibility

The Midnite website is a thing of beauty. beautifully put together and the app is no different. In-play markets are quick and easy to access, while nicely-integrated stats and information help provide additional helpful information to check out before you bet. The bet placing process was also smooth and easy. Despite our positive review here, the app has received mixed reviews on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, though it seems a lot of the issues encountered seem to have been addressed in the current iteration of the app.

App Store: 3.2/5 stars (96 ratings)

Google Play: 2.7/5 stars (29 reviews)

VIP programmes and loyalty rewards

Midnite offers a range of rewards for its existing customers, with an 'acca club', 'bet builder club' and 'bet club' all offering the chance to earn weekly free bets by placing specific bet types during a given week. Additional rewards are also available for casino players.
