As its name suggests, Yako Casino’s core business is its casino and gaming products, but they also offer a sports betting site that offers a simple but effective introduction to sports betting for new bettors.

Key information

What is Yako Casino all about?

Bonuses

Yako Casino will match your first deposit 100%, up to the value of £9 plus free spins. However, with Yako Casino being primarily a casino site, the bonus appears only to be playable on Yako Casino’s games, rather than betting on sports.  

For new and existing customers there’s a football acca boost on all football bets up to 50% once you place a multibet of 4 or more selections.

Available sports

Yako Casino’s range of sports is pretty good on first glance, but the lack of horse racing betting will put off some bettors. If you’re not worried about betting on the horses, though, there are plenty of other sports to get your teeth into. It’s not as comprehensive a selection as you’ll find on the big dedicated sports betting sites, but as an introduction to sports betting, it’ll probably cover most of your bases. 

User experience and interface

The navigation could definitely do with some work, but the sports betting site itself is pleasing on the eye (unless you hate purple – there’s a lot of it!) and not too daunting for new bettors. One fun element is Yako Casino’s Bet Mentor, which builds you an accumulator based on your chosen stake and preferred win levels. It’s a nice, easy way to introduce yourself to accumulator betting, and a great feature for new bettors in particular. 

Mobile and app compatibility

Finding the sports betting area of Yako Casino – you have to find ‘sportsbook’ from a filter dropdown to get there – but the mobile version of the site looks fine and works smoothly. An app would offer a better user experience, but for now mobile users will have to content themselves with the website.

VIP programmes and loyalty rewards

We could not find a specific VIP or loyalty rewards programme for sports betting customers at Yako Casino. There is a range of promotions for existing sports customers, however, boosted bets, early payouts, bore draw refunds, flash betting and acca boosts are all available to football bettors.
