Vbet bookmaker review

By James Walters

Key information

What are Vbet all about?

Bonuses

Vbet's welcome bonus of bet £10 and get a £20 free bet, £10 at casino and 50 free spins is a very solid variation compared to other offers.

Most bettors will only be interested in the £20 free bet but the casino bonus and the free spins does catch the eye.

Available sports

Vbet covers a vast range of sports. They have all the popular sports from football to tennis covered, while they also have markets on niche sports including chess and lacrosse.

Their football coverage is solid, their odds are good and you can also create bet builders which is a positive for many bettors. However, it’s worth noting that you don’t see individual odds for each selection when you’re building your bet, which is a pet peeve of mine! There is also an option on each individual game to open up a page full of statistics for both teams.

Their horse racing coverage is decent enough and they show the price changes of runners so you can see if people are backing a certain horse or not. However, they lack quite a few markets. You can bet on the winner and forecasts but there aren’t any place or betting without options.

Vbet’s in-play tab is brilliant. When I went on the site on a midweek afternoon, there were over 100 live events on the likes of football, tennis and cricket. There are also statistics and graphics to accompany the live markets.

They also have vast esports coverage and markets available for League of Legends, Counter-Strike 2 and Rainbow Six.

Vbet’s American sports options for betters is pretty good and you can also create Bet Builders on the likes of the NFL and NBA. Online bookies that don’t offer Bet Builders can often fall behind their rivals so it’s nice to see Vbet making that available.

User experience and interface

The user experience on Vbet is decent. Their pink and white colour scheme is different and it catches the eye.

The site is relatively simple but it’s effective. When you get on the page, the first thing you see is their carousel at the top including their welcome offer, an acca super boost link, a bet builder link and a safer gambling tab. 

Below that is links to in-play, pre-match, horse racing, slots and casino. If you click on pre-match, you navigate to their main sports betting page.

You’re then greeted with their AI betting assistant which is a new variation in the modern day of sports betting. It’s something I haven’t seen before and it’s a useful tool as it can be used to get personal recommendations based on your betting history. Bettors can also get match stats and team news.

The list of sports available is just below, as is their search bar and their biggest football markets are next up.

There is also an ‘acca of the day’ tab by the list of sports which gives you boosted selections. When I was looking at the site, there were three players to score anytime and it was boosted by 10 per cent.

On mobile, there are also tabs at the bottom of the screen including in-play, pre-match, betslip, EPL 24/25 and casino.

The 'EPL 24/25' tab takes you to their offers and specials, as well as their previews. They offer betting tips, including Bet Builders, for the main games during the weekend. It’s a nice addition to help bettors choose their selections.

Mobile and app compatibility

Vbet’s desktop and mobile sites are the same apart from the betslip moving from the right of the screen on desktop to the tab at the bottom of the page on mobile. Their site is slick and the graphics are crisp and easy on the eye.

The firm have recently launched their new app functionality. It runs very smooth and has the same look and feel as the desktop and mobile sites. The ratings are limited at the time of writing and only has a handful of positive reviews via the app store.

VIP programmes and loyalty rewards

Vbet don’t have a rewards scheme but they do have an acca super boost offer which can see bettors get up to 40 per cent extra on their winnings.

The bet must be at least three legs with minimum odds of 1/3 per leg. The more selections you add in, the bigger your profit boost is.

They also have their free-to-play games: 5Up and Golden Shot. For 5Up, you must predict five correct scores to win £10,000. Golden Shot is based on one Premier League game every weekend. Predict the first scorer and the minute of the goal to win £100, as well as £100 in free bets and 50 free spins.
