Karamba Review

Karamba began its life back in 2005 as an online casino. The site is now filled with an array of slots, scratchcards, and live tables, as well as a fully-stocked sportsbook with great odds courtesy of top provider SBTech.

Choose Karamba for their

• High payout percentage in a comprehensive sportsbook
• Casino filled with games including exclusive titles
• Mobile apps for iPhone and Android

More well-known within the online casino space, Karamba has made waves in sports betting too thanks to their collaboration with SBTech.

All of the main UK sports are offered, and while the football offering leaves no stone unturned and does include Asian lines, the horse racing selection could be improved with more markets and better analysis.

Sports that have recently become more popular, or that are bigger overseas, such as Esports, handball, and table tennis, are listed on Karamba, and punters are not limited to pre-match wagers.

Karamba offer a solid live betting experience on desktop and mobile.

The in-play betting section displays all of the current events, and the odds constantly update while punters can track what is happening through various live graphics and stats.

Overall, the range of odds is high not only in quantity but in quality too. Prices are in line with other top competitive betting sites and Karamba are often the best price on certain bets. 

There is a mobile app for the sportsbook, which is a nice touch particularly for a new betting site, but it is not the most slick product and it looks like it is a few phone generations behind.

Karamba Casino also has its own app, which when you open, you are instantly greeted with a large selection of lively games all presented in a colourful format.

Gamesters can choose from a multitude of slots and scratchcards across various themes, or play classic table games like roulette and blackjack, for which there are several different variations. Video poker is also on offer.

For those looking for a more realistic, interactive experience, the Karamba Live Casino duly obliges, with baccarat among the games. VIP tables are available for big money players.

The site is fully licenced in the UK and Malta, and they have implemented highly secure facilities to ensure that users' data is safe. Bettors can deposit using debit cards, for which transactions are handled by Aspire Global International LTD.

PayPal, Skrill, and Paysafecard are available as banking options.

There is customer support team available via chat, phone or e-mail seven days a week between 6 AM GMT to 23:00 PM GMT.

• No live streaming
• A below par bet builder

The main drawback as far as the Karamba sportsbook is concerned is the lack of live streaming.

For bettors who simply like to bet on football while they watch it on TV, this isn't a problem. But horse racing bettors often like to bet and watch the races, and many other top betting sites offer streams across a variety of sports worldwide.

New customers with Karamba are eligible for a £10 free bet once an initial bet of £20 has been settled.

How to claim the Karamba free bet:

1. Click 'Claim' and register with Karamba.
2. Place £20 bet at minimum odds 1/1 (2.00).
3. You will be credited a Karamba free bet worth £10.

Karamba offer a decent selection of payment methods, including debit cards, eWallets, and prepaid cards.

There is a small charge on card deposits, and PayPal is unfortunately not eligible for the Karamba free bet offer.

Karamba Limits on Payments and Withdrawals

The minimum deposit amount on Karamba is £10 for all banking options, while for withdrawals you can take out as little as £10 and as much as £10,000.

Larger withdrawals may be subject to verification, but generally, eWallets are the fastest, while debit cards can take 2-5 days.

Karamba Verification

Before you withdraw from Karamba, you will need to submit documentation to verify your age and identity. This is standard practice across the betting industry.

You may be asked to send Karamba:

• Photographic ID, driving license, passport, birth certificate.
• Bank statements, pay slips, utility bill or lease either in their original or notarised form.

The Karamba betting offers and promotions often change throughout the year across both the sportsbook and the casino products.

Aside from the Karamba free bet offer for sports and the Karamba Casino offer, there are a number of deals for existing customers to take advantage of.

Karamba Casino players can collect points for bonuses, prizes and perks, while sports punters can benefit from promotions such as the KaramBoost, which gives Acca bets a winnings boost.

Owned by ASG Technologies Ltd, Karamba is an online gambling brand licenced in the UK and Malta.

The site was launched in 2005, and the new sportsbook arrived in 2018, powered by SBTech.

In Great Britain, the games on Karamba are operated by Malta-based company, AG Communications Limited.

2019 saw Karamba become recognised within the industry as they won Best Customer Relationship Management Campaign at the 2019 EGR Awards.

The Karamba sportsbook is provided by SBTech, which means that a quality service and a wide range of betting featured are offered.

Users can bet pre-match or in-play on big sports such as football, tennis, and basketball, as well as niche events at both a high level and more obscure competitions.

Horse racing betting is also available, albeit not to the same level as classic British bookies that have more analysis and live streaming availability.

On the whole, the sportsbook is at a more than adequate level, and if you are shopping around for the best odds, they may at times be found on Karamba, where the payout percentage is generally strong.

Karamba Football Betting

The football selection on Karamba not only covers a wide range of leagues, but also a great selection of available bets and existing customer offers.

You can bet on Asian lines, specials, corners, periods, and more.

Special bets include players to make the England squad or to be the first between a selection of players to reach 50 or 100 Premier League goals.

The in-play offering is also top-notch, and you can bet on things to happen within the next minute, such as goals, corners, free-kicks, and more.

With no Karamba live streaming, the site is behind some of its competitors in terms of services offered within sports betting.

We would also like to see a request-a-bet feature added if they are to catch up with the likes of Betfair and Coral, but if you simply want somewhere to wager in-play and to cash out, Karamba will do just fine.

Karamba Bet Builder

Karamba like many of its fellow Aspire Global sites has recently seen the addition of a bet builder, although there is room for improvement. 

A Champions League contest between PSV and Arsenal featured around 18 markets, which by contrast is less than half available at sites such as Sky Bet. The bet builder also works across NHL, NBA, NFL, MLB and Rugby betting too.

Karamba Live Betting

The in-play section on Karamba runs smoothly on desktop without glitches, which is essential when it comes to live betting.

You can also place live bets on the Karamba app, which functions well but is not the most modern or slick.

There can be no complaints with regards to the amount of markets offered in-play, particularly when it comes to football and tennis. What's more, there are live graphics and stats on display to help you make your decisions while the odds constantly change in real-time.

Karamba Cash Out

As is now standard across all UK betting sites, Karamba offer punters the option to cash out either fully or partially.

Cash out can be used on single bets and Accas, with only the below bet types ineligible:

• System bets
• Forecast/tricast bets
• Outright winners
• Promotion/relegation bets
• Asian Handicap

Customers can access both the Karamba sportsbook and the Karamba Casino via their mobile, either by logging in via their internet browser, or by downloading the Karamba App.

Karamba App

Both Karamba apps are available on iPhone and Android, and while it is excellent that users have access to them, the products could be improved.

All of the same games, odds and functions are available on the Karamba App for both sports and casino, but on newer phone models the apps can look outdated and it is clear that they are optimised for older generation phones.

On the Karamba Sports app, you can actually access the Casino and Live Casino. So, if you are predominantly a sports bettor that likes the occasional spin of the roulette wheel, you can do it all in one place.

There is a real party vibe as soon as you enter the Karamba Casino page, with endless rows of colourfully presented games to choose from. 

Leading casino game providers such as NetEnt, Microgaming, and Neogames are used to create a hugely diverse and exciting customer experience.

Exclusive Karamba slots and table games add to a huge selection.

Before you commit to playing the Karamba Casino games for real money, you can try them out in a free demo version.

Karamba Live Casino

Gamesters can play blackjack, roulette or baccarat in the Karamba Live Casino, in which many tables are courtesy of Evolution Gaming.

There are both small and high limit tables, including VIP options.

New Karamba Casino customers can enjoy a 100% matched deposit up to £50, plus an extra 100 spins spread over the first three days.

1. Click 'Claim' and register with Karamba Casino.
2. Deposit a minimum of £10 to get your 100% bonus up to £50.
3. Get 100 free spins over three days if your deposit is over £20.
