Betsafe Review - Versitile platform for all esports bets

Betsafe features a fast and responsive dark plus red design. You are welcomed by an easy to navigate page that will quickly take you to your desired destination. The fast and responsive design is less error-prone then some competitors, and their sign-up process is fast and efficient.

In order to navigate to the esports section, you will have to head over to the sportsbook, as Betsafe does not discriminate between traditional sports and esports. You will be welcomed by a standard layout of matches, markets, and events across all sports and esports included. The profile and account pages are fairly simple and easy to navigate, and depositing funds can be done on the fly while selecting your match-ups.

Live streaming and in-play betting on matches is easy to locate and prominently featured at the main bar. Everything on the page is accessible from the main page, meaning you wont have to navigate a click labyrinth to get to your desired page. Overall, the design and responsiveness are big mark up for this Betsafe review. Nothing seems too cluttered, a common plague among esports betting sites. Finally, the design also transfers well onto the mobile and smart app versions, as the sleek design transfers seamlessly onto the app, and you wont feel out of place when switching between PC and Tablet.

The Betsafe welcome bonus will match your deposit 100% up to €25, and reward you with a €10 free bet on top. This means you can get a total of 60€ by depositing only 25.

Sleek and responsive design can only get you so far, as a lucrative bonus is always what good tipsters are searching for. Luckily, Betsafe offers a solid entry bonus with a free bet on top. Keep in mind bonus offers always have certain rules and ways to roll-over the funds, so be sure to have a good look through the terms and conditions before depositing. For the Betsafe bonus, you will have to wager 5 times in either the sportsbook or horse racing, on odds of 1.50 or greater. Most bookmakers have way higher wagering requirements, making this bonus offer one of easier ones to roll over.

Another welcome benefit is the bonus offer availability with all other Betsafe products. Once you clear your Sportsbooks bonus, you can easily head over the Live Casino or Poker bonuses to claim even more funds for your wagers. Once you clear those promos there is nothing stopping you from using the funds on esports matches. Overall, you might not get as many offers specifically for esports betting, but you can balance it all out with other activities at this provider.

Betsafe accepts the standard Bank Transfer and Card methods available among most providers. E-wallets and services like Paypal, Skrill, Neteller and Trustly are also accepted.

Canadian bettors can use INTERAC as a payment option. More niche payment methods like Citadel, EcoPayz and Muchbetter are also available in some regions.

Neither Apple, Google Pay nor cryptocurrencies are available yet.

Betsafe features markets on most the main esports titles. As a bookmaker that is not exclusive to esports, the value comes from mixing and matching traditional sports and esports seamlessly to turn a profit.

The esports on offer do have a variety of markets on offer for both CS:GO bets and LoL Betting. Exotics are widely available for Dota 2 betting and R6 Betting as well, meaning you have hundreds of markets available at any given moment. The downside however, is that you wont find niche markets in titles like Call of Duty, Overwatch and Rocket League. For the games featured, all of the active tournaments and events are covered. In-play and live betting are also available for all esports markets on offer, with exotics available for most of the selections.

In summary, when Betsafe decides to feature an esport, they will make sure you have all the tools to place the perfect bet on esports that suits you. While their selection is limited in terms of titles, the ones available offer plenty of value in terms of markets. You can expect score, total points, in-game objectives, handicaps and match duration markets widely available for all esports.

Betsafe live streaming can be accessed on both the Desktop and App version. All matches in the sportsbook have the live stream function available, even if the match is not broadcast. For traditional sports, live streaming may be limited by rights to broadcasts, but for esports, most matches contain a Twitch broadcast with no limitations.

The Live Stream itself is embedded seamlessly into the site and does not stutter or hog too much of your RAM. This draws back to our initial praise of the Interface & Design that makes Betsafe a very solid pick for those seeking easy of use. The quality of the live stream can be changed within the embedded player itself meaning you can full-screen to HD at your discretion.

Often live streaming widgets at various bookmakers tend to slow down the site or provide streams in scaled down quality. With Betsafe this is not the case, thanks to the beautiful design.

Overall, the odds featured on Betsafe are competitive across all metrics with even the most dedicated esports betting sites. Differences between odds with competitors are minor, with individual matches offering roughly the same or better odds one way or the other.

Betsafe odds excel in the exotics section, with handicap and match duration odds at higher average odds than most other bookmakers. When compared to other traditional sportsbooks, Betsafe exotics odds beat all traditional sports bookies and some of the dedicated esports bookmakers as well.

Limits and maximum returns have quite a high ceiling at this operator. The individual bet win limit is set at 100,000€, and daily win limit is set at 250,000€. There is weekly win limit of 500,000€ as well. The upper tier payouts are absolutely bonkers. It’s worth mentioning that each currency has their own limit set, but they roughly translate into the same amount as in euros. In terms of setting individual limits, you are fully capable to limit your bankroll waste to a certain amount both daily, weekly and monthly.

Do set your limits if you are a compulsive tipster, and keep your bankroll in check.

Having solid customer service is essential to many tipsters. Betsafe offers the standard plethora of contact options including email, live chat and phone services.

The email contact and Live Chat options are responsive and fast, but the phone option is somewhat limited and you are not likely to reach the provider quickly. The Live Chat does connect you with a representative within a minute, and the person on the other side is quite fast to respond and service your needs. When contacting by email, you can expect a longer delay, and you might be jostled between different people.

Overall, the costumer support is decent and will get your issues sorted in reasonable time.

One of the key aspects in every review is the trust factor and licensing status of a given provider. Betsafe is fully licensed in Malta by the Malta Gaming Authority, and conforms to all rules and regulations. Additionally, Betsafe is part of Betsson AB and their large group of bookmakers including Betsson and NordicBet. Furthermore, the Betsafe Casino is part of the BLM Group Ltd, which handles over 17 different online casinos across Europe.

The overall trust factor of the provider is high, and you can be sure your funds and winnings are secure and paid out in full each time. In terms of “bad” security, you might have to confirm your identity and provide personal information per request, which might be a turn down for some users if they have to repeat that process several times.  However, a thorough verification process is a good sign the provider takes security seriously.

Keep in mind that several countries are restricted from using Betsafe, due to local laws and regulations.

Betsafe offers an attractive and simple welcome bonus to esports bettors, while also featuring an extensive sportsbook available for mixed betting. While the esports title selection is a bit limited, the games on offer have a solid depth of markets paired with in-play betting and live streaming.

The real value for Betsafe costumers are the added casino, poker and virtual betting options, giving plenty of flexibility in play. In terms of esports betting exclusivity, Betsafe is only now begging to dip their toes into the market by sponsoring events and teams.

The latest partnership with CSGO team Godsent is a clear sign they are dedicated to growing their esports offerings.
