Bonus & VIP Offer

Welcome bonus

The 20BET bonus offers new customers an additional cash injection of up to 100 euros with a bonus value of 100 percent on the first deposit.

This means that when you load your account for the first time, you get exactly the sum of the deposit (100 percent) as a bonus on top. However, you will not get more than 100 Euros and you have to deposit at least 10 Euros to receive bonus money.

You may not use any of the accepted cryptocurrencies for this.

As already mentioned above, you can decide which bonus you want to use right at the beginning of the registration process. However, you can also make the choice directly before the first account load. Click on “Sports” in the checkout area directly above the payment methods and deposit. No bonus code is required.

As far as the bonus conditions are concerned, I was once again positively surprised in my 20BET experience with regard to transparency. I know this from Curacao bookies quite differently. A click on “Terms and Conditions” in the info area of the deal under “Promotions” provides a broad overview.

You have to wager five times the amount of your deposit to play through the bonus. A good minimum odds of 1.50 applies.

Multiple bets must have odds of at least 1.70 and three selections.

Only settled bets count towards the turnover requirements.

That’s all good news. Even more, you have a maximum of 14 days to fulfill the requirements, which should be more than enough time.

That’s it by and large – no hidden pitfalls or highly complex paragraphs. You get a solid bonus with fair, clear terms and conditions.

VIP & Loyalty Program

20BET offers a full-fledged VIP program over 30 levels with very rewarding goodies. However, this only applies to the casino area. Sports bettors generally get a – for a bookie with such an extensive betting offer – quite narrow portfolio of deals.

Regularly, there is only the just described welcome bonus and for existing customers the so-called predictions.

With the predictions, you can collect 1,000 euros if you have made deposits with a total value of 20 euros in a period of 5 days and then correctly predict the results of 10 events. You will receive 100 Euros if you are correct 9 times and 50 Euros if you predict 8 events correctly.

In addition, according to support, there are always specials. During my 20BET experience, however, this was not the case, which is why I cannot make any statement about their quality.

Betting offer

As mentioned at the beginning, the betting offer is very lush. There are more than 1,500 events that you can bet on at any time of the year. This was also confirmed to me once again by the support team.

Soccer is king. The most important leagues and tournaments are displayed in a top table in the top left corner after clicking on “Sports Betting” in the main menu. Below that are the upcoming top matches, which often have the most potential.

And soccer is also at the top of the overall sports overview.

Of course, there are numerous other sports, because only with soccer such a large number of betting options can obviously not come about.

Tennis, basketball, ice hockey, volleyball and many more are on offer. In addition to the world sports, there are some small curiosities (at least for German betting habits). Betting on stock car racing and bandy, a type of ice hockey that is especially popular in Northern Europe, are at least not among the absolute favorites of betting fans in our latitudes.

In soccer, pretty much every major league in the world is up for grabs. In Germany, it goes down to the regional league.
eSports & other special bets

20BET does not offer an extra section for eSports. However, you can bet on various categories and events from this segment. During my 20BET experience, I was able to choose Dota 2, League of Legends or FIFA, among others, in the main sports menu.

Virtual sports are not on offer. Special, TV or political bets I could not make out either. After a brief inquiry with support, I was told that a special section was being planned, but that virtual sports would probably not follow for the time being.

Live bets

I have already noted that 20BET always offers sports that are less common in this country. Furthermore, there are many international soccer leagues. Under these conditions, of course, a quite lush live betting area can always be provided.

Thus, soccer fans can find interesting live bets in this segment at almost every time of the year – and practically all other sports can also be bet live directly when a match takes place.

In addition to the “conventional” betting options and betting markets, you are offered an event calendar, useful statistics, pitch animations and even concrete tips on win probabilities. The latter were actually highly profitable for me several times in my 20BET experience.

Livestreams are currently not available. However, I was told by the friendly support staff that this would be taken care of.

Odds & Betting Features

Odds

Although 20BET – like every bookie – states under “About us” that they offer the best odds on the market, they don’t get more specific here either. But the odds are so important for successful sports betting!

First of all, they show you in general whether a bet on a match is worthwhile or not. In addition, they allow conclusions about probabilities – also for later events in which the respective team or individual athlete is involved. Only those who can read and compare odds correctly have the opportunity to be really successful in sports betting in the long run.

It’s a pity that bookmakers are usually very secretive when it comes to betting odds and especially the odds breakdown.

Even at 20BET, nowhere is an odds key given that shows you whether there are really good odds there overall or not.

So I had to take action myself once again and did the math for you. For my odds check, ten matches of the current 20BET betting offer were randomly selected as a basis. From this, I could then draw the average odds key.

The following values served as a basis:

95,21% / 93,46% / 80,58% / 94,55% / 93,21% / 90,41% / 92,88% / 95,42% / 93,90% / 90,91%

This results in an odds ratio of 92.05 percent. 20BET is especially strong in niche sports, such as stock car racing, but also in soccer.

20BET does not offer the best odds measured by this key, but it is certain that the value is above average.

Betting features

20BET basically offers live and pre-match betting. Here you can make single and combined bets.

20BET does not offer a betting configurator, i.e. a tool that you can use to make multiple bets on one and the same event.

What is very interesting, however, is the information about top odds and odds changes. A flashing field informs you very clearly.

In addition, 20BET provides you with numerous links under “Most important sources of information”, which you can use to optimize your bets or find useful tips on possible game outcomes. You can find very specific tips on win probabilities in the betting selection. In addition, under “Betting rules” you will find direct information on how bets work in different sports.

A so-called cashout, with which you can cancel a bet at an early stage to prevent large losses, is also offered. However, it is limited to certain events and betting markets.

Basically, you get a lot of different betting markets at 20BET. Especially in the top sports, 100 options and more are selectable. Long-term bets are also available in a wide selection.

Deposits & Withdrawals

In the cashier of 20BET you will find various well-known payment options. There is the option of instant bank transfer and classic bank transfer. Furthermore, the major credit cards, i.e. MasterCard and Visa, are represented.

Neosurf, ecoPayz, CashtoCode, AstroPay, Jeton, eZeeWallet, MinFinity and Flexepin complete the payment portfolio.

And then there are the various cryptocurrencies around Bitcoin.

PayPal is not on board. However, this top payment method is very rare for Curaçao bookies in general.

The minimum deposit is 5 euros with AstroPay. All other methods require a deposit of 10 euros.

Among the maximum amounts, AstroPay is once again at the top. You can deposit a whopping 1 million euros, which should please high rollers in particular. For the other options, the maximum of 100,000 euros is also very good.

Normally, a withdrawal is made at 20BET via the same way as the deposit.

Minimum can be withdrawn by AstroPay again 5 euros and with the other payment services 10 euros.

However, the maximum amount is always significantly lower than the deposit. You can first withdraw a maximum of 4,000 euros. In the case of very high winnings, the bookie splits them up. According to the terms and conditions, this is done in partial payments of 4,000 euros per day or 10,000 per week or 40,000 per month.

A withdrawal is usually done within 24 hours, but sometimes it can take 3 to 5 business days. With cryptocurrency, it usually takes only a few minutes.

The betting tax does not apply to your winnings at 20BET.

A KYC procedure is not standard. 20BET does say in its terms and conditions or bonus terms that customers must present identification documents to confirm identity (KYC), if required. However, there is no mention of such documents being sent in automatically. This means that data may be checked – but it does not have to be.
My experience with the first deposit and withdrawal

My first deposit at 20BET via ecoPayz was extremely fast and as usual uncomplicated. The deposited 30 euros were in no time on my player account.

I could have easily unlocked the bonus via a switch when making a deposit. However, I decided against it to speed up the test.

I was able to upload my documents for verification and did so in the player account.

Since every deposit has to be wagered at odds of min. 1.1, I placed a live bet. This was accepted after 8 seconds, which is neither particularly fast nor particularly slow.

Fortunately, the bet was won.

Thus, I was able to bring a whole 66 euros to the payout.

I was able to make the payout again via ecoPayz. Just ten minutes later, the money was back in my account. Overall, an absolutely satisfactory process. No shortcomings in the real money test.

Reputation & Security

20BET has a license in Curaçao. Such bookies do not always have the best reputation, but – as is often the case in life – you cannot lump everything or everyone together.

The licensing authority in Curaçao does have standards that come close to those of European institutions. However, they do not pay as much attention to details, such as player protection. However, cheaters are not licensed under any circumstances!

Unfortunately, there is also no area at 20BET to quickly set limits. Self-exclusion can only be done via the support.

Otherwise, however, they work very seriously. This is evident from the state-of-the-art encryption with a certificate from Cloudflare, the transparent procedures and information, and last but not least, the cooperation with globally renowned payment service providers.

However, not all players at 20BET share my experiences in terms of security and reliability. During a more intensive research, I was able to register numerous complaints – although these are mainly limited to the casino.

Service & Support

The support of 20BET is available around the clock via chat. I communicated with a German-speaking employee, but it seemed to me that a translation bot automatically converts the answers into German.

Just like the – already mentioned in the description of the registration – sometimes somewhat bumpy wording in the texts, the use of such a bot is of course not ideal, but also not so bad, because I was always helped competently and friendly.

As an alternative to the chat, there is a mail address. A FAQ is available for quick answers to standard questions.

Functions & Design

20BET does not have much to offer in terms of design. It uses a layout with sports on the left, events and betting markets in the middle, and betting slips on the right, as you know it from bookies.

But that’s not a bad thing, because you can find your way around very well – because you’re used to it. It doesn’t always have to be innovative and unique. Especially sports betting fans like it functional and clear. 20BET serves these bettors very well.

In addition, everything is designed in a balanced way. The predominant blue, green and gray tones harmonize and create a modern look.

Everything loads quickly and can be used in German, English, Spanish, Polish and 10 other languages.

Other Offers

20BET also has a casino and a live casino on board. Here you really don’t have to hide from the big stand-alone casinos on the market. Quite the contrary – 20BET even outperforms many of them!

In fact, more than 60 providers ensure a truly enormous game selection. Among those are highly renowned brands, such as Play’n Go, NetEnt and Playtech.

In addition to many “standard slots” you will find jackpots, scratchcards and of course table games.

The selection of the latter in the live casino is – naturally – not as large as that of the slots, but can also be more than respectable. There are no less than eight developers responsible for far more than 100 tables and the industry leader Evolution is also there.
