Why is Bet365 bookmaker one of the leaders in the field of betting?

Bet365 bookmaker broke into the legal Russian market in March 2021. Her arrival was very long-awaited, because such large international bookmakers in our country did not have their offices. For some time, the bookmakers "Bwin" and "Betfair" worked for us, but now they have already left the Russian market.

Review БК Bet365.ru

The main pros and cons of the Bet365 bookmaker:

Pros

• One of the world's best lines in width and depth of painting 
• Luxurious live, also one of the best in the world
• Authoritative and reliable bookmaker

Cons

• There are no mobile applications yet
• Some technical overlaps associated with the abrupt start of activities 
• Limits cut

The fast entry of the office into the new market entailed certain technical overlaps, at first the technical support service could not cope with the volume of Russian players, there were interruptions in deposits and payment of winnings. Also, mobile applications for Android and iOS have not yet been developed. But the situation in these areas is steadily improving, and the powerful advantages of Bet365 bookmaker more than compensate for all the shortcomings.

A very rich selection, more than 150 leagues, among which you can find the second and third leagues of many countries, youth and women's competitions, cups and even amateur tournaments.

The list of the leading championships is deep, there are not only the most popular markets, but also markets for corners, warnings and penalties, methods of scoring goals, scoring (a player will score a goal + outcome). As well as individual players' indicators, mixed outcomes, time and sequence of goals scored, N minute score and much more.

Minor tournaments are simpler, but there is also something to bet on - up to 100 outcomes are given for almost any match. Outcome bets, double outcomes, totals, individual totals, OZ / None, a wide range of accurate scores and other bets.

• Hockey

Here, too, everything is fine with a choice of leagues, there are even rare ACL, ECHL and amateur tournaments. The bookmaker offers a decent list, containing all the traditional markets, plus, bets on the way to win, on the exact number of goals, on even-odd, bets on individual indicators of individual players, account opening times, race to N goals, results of periods and 10-minute segments.

• Tennis

The line contains all the tournaments that are currently being played. Including low-grade ITF competitions, UTR and Challengers, which not all bookmakers offer. Everything is painted very well, not all offices offer such a list for ATP / WTA 500 tournaments, which is available in Bet365 at ITF tournaments. Many games offer bets on the exact score in sets and games, total breaks and tie-breaks, and bets on match statistics.

• Basketball

There is everything you need that all bookmakers give - NBA, NCAA, Euroleague, VTB League - and much more. Among other things, in the basketball section you can find the Mali women's championship, the Nicaragua championship and several amateur tournaments. There are a lot of exclusives in the list - the statistics of players in major tournaments, a detailed list for each half and quarter of the match, and much more.

• Cybersport

This direction began to develop in Europe earlier, therefore the Bet365 bookmaker is much better than the Russian bookmakers on average in terms of the cyber section. It has competitions not only in CS: GO and Dota 2, but also bets on a dozen other disciplines - Valorant, Warcraft3 and Starcraft strategies (1, 2), Rocket League, League of Legends, King of glory, Arena of glory and lots of sports esports.

Live section

Live betting at Bet365.ru is great. Its main plus is that the margin increases very slightly compared to the prematch. Somewhere by 1-1.5%, and somewhere generally by tenths. Moreover, Bet365 has an excellent tradition of reducing margins during the course of events - at the end of matches they show the best level of odds in Russia with a margin. 

The bookmaker offers a huge selection of events, the live list is not inferior to the pre-match, but somewhere it surpasses it. Many events are accompanied by Bet365 branded broadcasts, available to registered users, and excellent infographics.

Betting tools

Among betting tools, the bookmaker has a number of interesting functions. The “Bet constructor” allows you to add up to 12 outcomes from one match to one coupon, forming the total coefficient, which allows you to implement the most daring strategies. As well as a convenient "full or partial cashout" function and the ability to edit some of the booked sports bets retroactively. 

Of course, there is a one-click quick bet mode, automatic confirmation of agreement with changing the odds, the ability to bet express or express system and other basic functions that allow you to play comfortably.

Odds and Margin

Odds are normal, average bookmaker. At first glance, it may seem that Bet365 has a very high prematch margin for football. In principle, this is the case - the average odds for the TOP leagues are higher than those offered by Russian bookmakers. But this is compensated by the fact that there is no significant increase in commission in the list and the average margin for an event becomes almost the same.

And in other sports there is no such discrepancy at all - the odds for hockey and tennis are the same as those given by other bookmakers. And it can also be noted that there is no hard difference in margin between the main line and deep painting. Certain disciplines, for example, basketball, horse racing and the UFC, generally boast the best quotes in Russia. Well, we have already talked about the features of the odds in live - no Russian bookmaker will offer such a live margin.

How to deposit and withdraw winnings

The choice of payment methods at Bet365 is still as modest as possible, but in the future it should expand to the level of all Russian legal offices. At the moment, a deposit can be made in the following ways:

• QIWI wallets (from 100 to 599999 rubles); 
• Bank cards Visa and Mastercard (from 100 to 599999 rubles).

There is no commission for the deposit, the money is credited almost instantly. Winning withdrawal methods: 

•  QIWI wallets (from 100 to 599999 rubles); 
• Visa and Mastercard bank cards (from 100 to 599999 rubles); 
• Bank transfers ( from 100 to 500,000 rubles).

Withdrawals must be made through the same method as the deposit. There is no commission for the withdrawal, the terms of withdrawal are declared up to 24 hours, but in practice, most often the withdrawal occurs within 10-15 minutes. 

The minimum rate is 15 rubles, the maximum limits are set individually. Despite the fact that the Bet365 office has just started its work, there are already known cases of cutting limits. The maximum bet payout depends on the scale of the competition. From RUB 2,000,000 for unpopular sports to RUB 80,000,000 for TOP leagues and specialized British entertainment, horse racing and dog racing.

• Tax deduction

The tax situation is typical for an office working through a second MCCIS. When withdrawing funds up to 15,000 rubles, the tax is not charged, and the obligation to pay it lies with the client. When withdrawing an amount over 15,000 rubles, the bookmaker deducts the tax amount and independently transfers it in favor of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation.

Bet365 Support

Bet365 has not yet set up a customer contact telephone hotline but is expected to launch shortly. At the moment, you can contact the technical support of the office only by e-mail (hidden) or through the online chat available on the website at the link help.bet365.ru/contact. there are not enough of them for everyone. This creates some tension, but the company's development strategy includes working to eliminate all of these technical shortcomings.

Mobile version and applications

The mobile version starts automatically when you enter the site from a mobile device. The mobile and desktop versions of the office are completely identical, both in terms of functionality and design. On the mobile version, you can go all the way from registering a new account to withdrawing your winnings. You can watch broadcasts, communicate with technical support and view the statistics section. 

The office's mobile applications for Android and iOS are not yet ready, but the bookmaker expects them in the very near future. In terms of strategy, they are also conceived to be identical in functionality and design, but they will work faster and consume less energy and traffic.

Bonus program

Bet365's welcome bonus is weaker compared to their first launch offer, but is still in demand. The essence remained approximately the same: 50% (at the beginning it was 100%) of the first deposit amount up to 10,000 rubles with bet bonuses - special bonus points. But the offer now has an additional condition - to get bet bonuses, you need to wager them with a x12 wager. Moreover, you need to wager the full amount of the deposit, that is, for the bonus amount, this is a x24 wager. The wagering period is 30 days. 

Received bet bonuses cannot be withdrawn from the account, they can only be used for making risk-free bets. Moreover, bet bonuses work like a free bet - if you win on them, only the amount of net profit is credited to the account, without the free bet itself. The rest of the shares remained unchanged.

• Early payments on individual rates

The bookmaker gives you the opportunity to receive a full early payment of the bet in matches in which the chosen outcome takes place with a clear advantage. For example, your team is leading 20 points in basketball, 2 goals in football, or 3 goals in hockey. The offer is valid for selected TOP leagues only.

• Express bonuses

Fat bonuses for lovers of express strategy games. The amount of the bonus depends on the number of events - the minimum is a 5% bonus for a double, and the maximum is + 70% to the payout when an express arrives with 14 outcomes. Only matches of the most TOP leagues and popular sports participate in the promotion.

• Zero insurance

Insurance against a zero draw in football matches when betting on the exact score of the half or match, scoring and the time / match markets. In case of zeros, you will receive a refund at those rates.

Conclusion

The appearance of such a powerful player on the Russian legal bookmaker market will surely change the balance of power and contribute to the development of healthy competition among bookmakers. The main thing is that Bet365 is not strangled by laws and prohibitions, as happened in Russia with other large global brands with a high rating. 

The Bet365 line will appeal to the vast majority of Russian players. Also, the office is perfect for livers. The bettors will also find something to do according to their strategy, Bet365 often creates arbitrage situations with Russian offices. And such a large company will definitely fix technical problems in the very near future. As well as resolve issues with mobile applications and the hotline phone.
