Betinia

Swedish bookmakers are not allowed to provide bonuses to existing players as an incentive to keep them playing. However, Betinia compensates for this through the exciting gamification experience called Sportgrounds.

By placing wagers, you collect points which you can then use to build sports halls across Europe. For every SEK 10 wagered on sports bets, you earn BP 1 (Betinia point.)

Now, the exact benefits of earning Betinia Points and constructing sports grounds are not exactly clear, given that no additional promotions apart from the welcome bonus are allowed in Sweden. Nevertheless, this enticing feature adds a fun twist to your betting experience.

And, if you’re based in Norway or Finland, once you rebuild all sports grounds you will be rewarded with €2,000.

Betinia sets itself apart from other Swedish bookmakers with its bold, user-friendly, and thoughtfully designed website. They've successfully tailored their international site to suit the Swedish market by toning things down just right.

At first glance, you'll notice the website maintains its vibrant character with a dark background complemented by striking green and purple accents, along with bold animal artwork. However, it ditches the flashy promotions found on other versions of the site.

Despite the eye-catching and playful design, Betinia doesn't compromise on user-friendliness.

Navigating the platform is a breeze, with important features intuitively placed to save you time. The left menu offers quick access to the selection of top leagues and the list of all sports which can be conveniently filtered by their starting time. In the main column, you'll find highlights, popular matches, and a selection of live and upcoming events.

If you're anything like me and can’t resist the thrill of betting on your favorite sports even when you’re out and about, Betinia’s dedication to delivering a top-notch mobile betting experience is bound to impress.

The mobile version of Betinia’s website is incredibly user-friendly, designed to make your betting journey as smooth as possible.

Whether you're using a smartphone or tablet, you can easily access Betinia's full range of sports betting markets and casino games right from your mobile browser.

Additionally, Betinia Sweden offers a dedicated mobile app. This app is available for both iOS and Android devices, and it provides quick and easy access to all the features and benefits you'd find on the desktop site.

The mobile app is still not available in Norway and Finland, but hopefully, this will change soon.

Betinia offers an extensive array of sports betting options that cater to a wide range of interests. Beyond the crowd favorites like football, ice hockey, and tennis, you can also bet on some less mainstream sports such as snooker, biathlon, and futsal.

In Sweden, you can explore a selection of approximately 27 sports and special markets, while in Norway and Finland, the offerings expand to encompass over 30 sports, including e-sports, virtual sports, and special markets.

When it comes to betting markets, Betinia offers a terrific selection. It accommodates both avid bettors who enjoy wagering on major matches and those who prefer the charm of minor leagues.

For top-tier matches, you'll be spoiled for choice with a staggering offering of over 9,000 different markets. However, it's worth noting that the selection remains more modest when you delve into less popular sports and matches, occasionally offering fewer than 10 markets per game.

Beyond the traditional 1×2 bets, you'll have the opportunity to explore additional markets, including over/under bets, halftime/final bets, player specials, fast markets, and combo bets. And if you're feeling particularly creative, Betinia even provides a bet-builder feature that allows you to craft your own unique betting experiences and tailor your bets precisely to your preferences and strategies.

Betinia's football betting section stands out with its comprehensive coverage, spanning more than 80 countries.

Betinia ensures that football enthusiasts have a wide spectrum of options to explore their passion for the beautiful game.

The bookmaker impresses with its coverage of popular leagues, boasting a superb number of betting markets. The UEFA Champions League, Allsvenskan, Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, and Bundesliga are among the top favorites. However, Betinia doesn't limit itself to mainstream leagues – it also caters to enthusiasts of lesser-known leagues and cups.

The diversity of Betinia's football offerings shines brightest in the United Kingdom, where bettors can explore wagering possibilities across an impressive range of 10 leagues and 2 cups. Remarkably, this selection extends all the way down to the seventh division so if you like betting on semi-professional clubs, Betinia has you covered.

On the flip side, the football offerings in Sweden are more limited in scope. Betinia currently allows bets on the top three divisions: Allsvenskan, Superettan, Ettan Norra, and Ettan Södra. While this offering is decent, it pales in comparison to the extensive UK lineup. 

Swedish football fans might find themselves wanting a bit more variety and depth when it comes to their local leagues and cups.

For all the puck enthusiasts out there, Betinia offers a satisfying range of hockey betting options, covering leagues from nearly 20 different countries. Whether you're a fan of international giants like the NHL and KHL or have a soft spot for the Swedish leagues, Betinia has something for you.

Naturally, the NHL takes center stage in Betinia's ice hockey lineup, with an array of betting options that include over/under and handicap bets.

In Sweden, you can bet on Allsvenskan, Hockey Ettan, and SHL. While I would like to see a bit more options here and be able to bet on my neighborhood team in the Division 2, for most bettors the existing options are certainly enough.

The market range here is also quite good and besides the conventional 1x2, handicaps, and over/under bets, you’ll also find plenty of player bets, allowing you to dive deeper into the sport.

When it comes to odds, Betinia doesn’t disappoint. The bookmaker offers competitive odds that are in line with industry standards, ensuring that bettors receive fair returns on their wagers.

Betinia's Live Betting offerings cover a wide range of sports and events, ensuring that there are plenty of choices depending on the season. 

One feature I really like is that only sports currently broadcasting live are listed under the Live Betting category. This makes it so much easier to navigate the platform and find exactly what you’re looking for.

Betinia's live betting experience falls short due to the lack of live streaming, statistics, or any virtual representations of the match, making the live betting experience rather dull and outdated. 

Betinia boasts an excellent selection of casino games with thousands of different games on offer. 

All games are neatly sorted into 8 categories: 

• Top (Big Bass Amazon Xtreme, Gigantoonz, Seven Books Unlimited, etc.)
• New (Money Train 4, Fatz's Dinner Gigablox, Benny the Beer, 8 Fruit Multi, etc.)
• Popular (Legacy of Dead, Diamond Blitz, 88 Fortunes, Money Jar 2, Sugar Rush, etc.)
• Slots (Flying Pigs, The Smashing Biscuit, Bugs Party, Rainbow Ryan, etc.)
• Live Casino (Svenska Roulette, Club Royale Blackjack, Monopoly Big Baller, etc.) 
• Table Games (Black Jack, Baccarat, Roulette x2, Joker Poker, etc.)
• Jackpots (Juicy Joker Mega Moolah, Gunslinger Reloaded, Purple Hot, etc.)
• All Games (GEM Rocks, Dwarf Mine, Katana, Diamond Inferno, Deuces Wild, etc.)

Betinia Casino players can claim a 100% first deposit bonus of up to SEK 2,500. 

How to claim the Betinia Casino welcome offer:  

1. Click 'Claim' and create a Betinia account.
2. Make a minimum deposit of SEK 100.
3. Funds must be wagered 35x within 60 days of the bonus activation.

When it comes to funding your account, Betinia Sweden doesn’t offer the widest range of payment options. Popular Swedish payment methods such as Swish, Trustly, PayPal, and Apple Pay are currently not available on Betinia. 

However, you can conveniently fund your account and withdraw your winnings using Zimpler.

Once you choose your bank and select the amount you wish to deposit/withdraw, you will need to identify yourself through the BankID. Once this is done, you only need to choose which account your money should be withdrawn from. So the entire process should only last a couple of seconds. 

Outside of Sweden, Betinia offers a wide selection of safe and reliable payment methods. Just like in Sweden, all deposits are instant and come with no fees while withdrawals usually take 1-3 days.

If you experience any issues when playing at Betinia, there are 3 roads you can take.

First of all, you can take a look at their comprehensive FAQ. If you do not find the answer to your question there, you can either get in touch with Betinia’s customer support through email or 24/7 live chat.

I’ve contacted their customer support team a couple of times and I’ve always received an immediate response. However, while really pleasant and quick, their customer support agents were not that knowledgeable and were not able to give me answers to some quite simple questions.
