7. BetOnline Overview

Overview of BetOnline



From great sports betting promos, a solid selection of odds, a competitive poker room, and excellent reliability, BetOnline.ag is a well-rounded sportsbook that has everything bettors can hope for.
Online since 2004 – and in operation even longer – this sports betting site has been one of the most reliable for quick payouts. BetOnline has also been a leader in supporting various cryptocurrencies, and was one of the first to support payments with Ethereum (added Oct. ’17).

BetOnline keeps things easy. Instead of tons of sign-up bonuses (and the red tape that usually comes with them), BetOnline pares it down to two very reasonable options for new customers:
  1. Their sportsbook sign-up offer gets you a 50% bonus up to $1,000. Use our exclusive promo code: SBD2500
  2. Bitcoin deposits get you a 50% deposit bonus from $20 to $500.
Once you’ve established an account, there are a few other promotions you can take advantage of.

Use Promo Code: SBD2500

Reloading Your Account – Cash in on a 25% bonus on deposits from $50-$1,000. This carries a 6x rollover and can only be used in the sportsbook.
Refer-a-Friend Bonus – BetOnline also has a 200% refer-a-friend bonus for up to $200. It can be used anywhere on the site, and there are cash prizes for customers who bring in the most clients within a one-month period. First prize is $4,000 with a total of $10,000 given away.

Additional Sports Betting Promos

BetOnline also offers the following risk-free promos:
• Player props $25 play
• Up to $25 on your first in-game wager

Deposit Options

The only fees BetOnline charges are on credit card deposits. If you elect to deposit with your credit card, BetOnline charges 6.5% to use on credit card deposits. There are however other fee-free option available to avoid deposit fees.
Minimum deposits vary depending upon the method, but start at as low as $10 and go up to a maximum of $50,000. This very sizable range should satisfy nearly all customers.
For deposits over $300, customer service states they will credit third-party fees to your account if you provide a receipt of the charge. When you determine how you want to deposit, we recommend calling or chatting with a representative, double-check that they are going to cover the fees, and then process the transaction.
Note: This is our preference, as their written information on deposits lists fees for several methods aside from credit cards, and does not make mention of any refund.
Minimum deposits vary depending upon the method, but start at as low as $10 and go up to a maximum of $50,000. This very sizable range should satisfy nearly all customers. Credit card customers must deposit between $35 and $500.

Withdrawal Methods & Payout Times

BetOnline has options to get your cash quickly, and they often deliver before the stated window. In our experience, BetOnline payout times are very close – if not a bit slower – than reality.
BetOnline does a very nice job of allowing you to track your transaction. It shouldn’t take more than a couple of days to go from start to finish.
Depending upon what method you chose, minimum payouts can be as low as $20 while maximums are close to $25,000.
When it’s time to withdraw, BetOnline does a very nice job of allowing you to track your transaction. It shouldn’t take more than a couple of days to go from start to finish.
The withdrawal process includes the following stages: initial request, review period, authorization, pending period, in-progress, processing, and then either: cancellation, rejection, or approval.

A WIDE VARIETY OF BETTING OPTIONS

BetOnline’s juice is fair. There’s great coverage of big and small events (with numerous sub-options for most), and though their betting lines aren’t always the most timely, all of the extras are well thought through.
What makes BetOnline stand out is their live betting, financials wagering, high limits, and phenomenal player props.

Line Selection

BetOnline isn’t the first site to post numbers, but they are far from the last. You can frequently find odds 24 hours ahead of many games, and on Sunday night for the upcoming NFL week. They don’t set lines, but quickly follow with their figures. That’s a big plus to get on the right side of a number that might move.
In addition to all the big sports, BetOnline has plenty of secondary and tertiary events available.
Their spreads tend to be pretty fair. They don’t consistently offer an extra half-point on underdogs or favorites. BetOnline prefers to adjust juice before altering the number on the spread. Games can fluctuate from -110 to -113 to -120 before the spread moves.
More obscure sports have lines starting at -115 on both sides, which isn’t abnormal for off-the-board type contests. Some events allow you to break even on juice (The 2018 Australian Open seemed to be working off a -108 baseline for most matches.)
In addition to all the big sports, BetOnline has plenty of secondary and tertiary events available. The futures menu is particularly large, with events like cricket, darts, and snooker. They even have an extensive section for eSports, which is as comprehensive as any site out there (with an entire category devoted to financials).

Betting on Financials

Sports bettors may enjoy playing the market, and BetOnline may be the only site with a whole section dedicated to it. This is live betting for the stock market.
In the financials section, bettors may only have $1,250 in play at one time. The obvious difference between this and playing the market is the vig and the speed. BetOnline takes its cut, but you don’t need a broker or pay broker fees. It’s probably not the best long-term strategy for wagering your retirement, but it’s innovative and offers excellent potential value.

Betting Limits

For those who take handicapping and wagering seriously, nothing is more frustrating than taking time to find a game where you possess an edge, only to have your sportsbook restrict your bet to a fraction of your bankroll.
BetOnline’s fairly high limits might not impact a lot of people, but if you get a tip, have a hunch, or just want to let loose, you will probably be able to bet to your heart’s content.
BetOnline will address individual betting limits on a case-by-case basis and may increase your betting limit if requested.

Live Betting

BetOnline’s Live Betting section is excellent. With great volume, fair juice, and constant updates (not just during timeouts or commercial breaks), they seem to cover every major event and many smaller ones, too.
Spreads can change while they are queued, due to fast-paced action. Thankfully, there are options to accept favorable price changes without having to click again, as well as to reconsider unfavorable changes (which happens frequently).
BetOnline grades bets quickly. After a game goes final, your account is credited without delay.
There’s a “quickbet” function that allows you to save your standard bet and then make it repeatedly with one click. This saves time on your bet confirmations, ensuring that you don’t miss out on favorable lines.
BetOnline grades bets quickly. After a game goes final, your account is credited without delay. Understandably, spreads and totals are calculated quicker than props.

Mobile Betting

For those phone or tablet users, this is among the better sites. Links on the front page quickly get you to the most popular parts of the site. Mobile betting is dependable, easy to use, and you’ll rarely click on the wrong button. For most users, the mobile product should mimic the form and function of your home computer. Additionally, its layout allows users to navigate the site efficiently.

Customer Service

24/7 Chat Support

Like most online sportsbooks these days, details can be difficult to find on the site. While BetOnline is among the better sites in terms of its FAQ section, it took chat support three conversations to get the nitty gritty details about deposits and withdrawals that we were after.
Our experience using the 24/7 chat support was varied. Some reps told us they’d email our answers, but no reply ever came. Other support personnel were happy to assist, and took time to answer our questions. There was never a line or long wait to talk to chat support, though sometimes they took a bit of time to respond.
Telephone agents were somewhat more professional. The entire phone support system felt more personal and it was far easier to get straightforward answers.

The Bottom Line

BetOnline has a lot to like. Their site is easy to use, the bonuses are straightforward and solid, they have several innovative options, high limits, and timely betting lines.
There are few bettors that won’t have an excellent experience at BetOnline, and we’re certain that many will discover that it handles all of their betting needs. They’ve proven trustworthy through many years of great service and will continue to in the coming years.
