22bet Review

22bet has been described as the most global bookmaker online, which probably is a fair assessment, as they offer their services in several countries. Not the biggest betting site in western countries, 22Bet is one of the main options for both Indians, Kenyans, and other less established betting markets.

• Great welcome offer
• Wide range of markets and odds
• In-play betting

22bet is one of those bookies with an ok design, an ok support, but with a great product for those core features that punters are looking for.

Although not perfect, having a great sportsbook in terms of range of odds and in-play betting, plus a nice welcome offer means 90% of the job is done. And makes for a great betting experience.

In a global perspective, 22bet is probably the betting site with the overall best sign up offers. Not in a single country we checked has their welcome offer been dissatisfactory.

22bet is probably the betting site with the overall best sign up offers.

When it comes to the plethora of markets and odds, and the excellent in-play betting, 22bet is in the top division among online bookies. In reality, only Bet365 can be said to have an obvious advantage in this field.

All in all, we highly recommend 22bet in all geographical locations where they offer their services.

• The absence of PayPal
• A cluttered interface
• The lack of live streaming service

A dealbreaker for many, the lack of Paypal is really something 22bet should look to address. At the moment they do however offer most other popular payment methods out there for deposits and withdrawals.

When it comes to the user experience, 22bet still has a long way to go to reach the top brands within online betting. The seamless design of for example LeoVegas or BetVictor is lightyears ahead of that of 22bet.

That said, it is not a disaster. Punters can still fairly easily find leagues, games and markets they are looking for. However, if you value a smooth, straightforward betting experience, you might have to look elsewhere.

As the international bookie that 22bet is, a variety of payment methods are necessary. And 22bet does offer among the most on the markets, if you count all payment methods for all geographical markets.

For smaller geographical markets, such as Kenya or India, mobile payment solutions are a must. 22bet does offer M-Pesa and Airtel, which are such solutions. This has made them a first choice for a lot of Kenyans and Indians.

The minimum deposit depends on your preferred payment method, but is normally around €1/$1 in any given currency.

Regarding the maximum deposits, there is no limit, but customers can set limits for themselves by contacting the 22bet customer service. Customers can also freeze their account for different time periods (6 months - 5 years). 

When it comes to limits on winnings, 22bet pride themselves to be one of the bookies that offer the biggest potential winnings. Punters can make up to €600,000 in one bet. An amount that is a lot higher than with other bookies.

The stand out feature when it comes to the actual betting experience (aside from 22bet being a global powerhouse), is the amount of odds at the punter’s disposal. Probably only one major betting site is ahead of 22bet in this regard; Bet365.

This has made 22bet a viable option for a lot of players, as all big leagues but also smaller are available. 

What 22bet lacks is a bet builder and a live streaming service. However, 22bet does offer a cash out feature with the possibility of a partial cash out.

Since almost all bets nowadays are made in punters’ mobile devices, it is imperative for operators such as 22bet to offer a great mobile experience. If they do it via a responsive version of their website in the browser or with an app matters less than the overall experience. 

However, most renowned bookies tend to prefer an app as their main product for mobile devices. 

22bet app

22bet are no exception to this rule, and offer its punters a sleek app with a seamless experience. Both for iOS and android.

Althought not the absolut best app in the market, the 22bet app fulfils most users’ needs when it comes to navigation and loading speed, and it is not a factor that can be said to lower the overall score of the 22bet product.

Of course 22bet offers a casino product beside their main sports product. It is a good, but not great casino in comparison to the “casino-first” brands out there. If you choose 22bet for their sports betting, you won’t be disappointed with their casino as a side dish. However, don’t choose 22bet as your main casino, as they are primarily a sports betting operator.
