BetOlimp sports betting experience – test & review

Bonus & VIP Offer

The current BetOlimp bonus currently offers its new customers a handy free bet. In order to benefit from the bet, which is limited to €100, a qualifying bet must be played. This must have odds of 2.00 or higher. For single bets, this odds requirement applies to the total odds. For multiple bets (combi/system), at least one selection on the ticket must meet the odds requirement. The stake on this activation bet then corresponds to the amount of the free bet. The free bet must then be used within seven days. Also in this case there is an odds requirement.

BetOlimp Bonus
No code activation & Skrill/Neteller exclusion
The free bet itself must be a multiple bet with at least two selections. At least one selection must meet odds of 1.60. If the player then wins with this bet, the stake of the bet will be deducted from the winnings. The maximum profit that can be generated is limited to €3,000. At first glance, this offer does not seem as lucrative as a deposit bonus. On the other hand, it is relatively easy to win additional credit with this offer, which is then not subject to any further turnover requirements. This then puts this multiple bet requirement for the free bet and the 2.00 odds requirement for the activation bet into perspective a bit. Please note that deposits with the wallets Skrill/Neteller are excluded from the bonus activation. The free bet will be activated automatically once the first deposit has been made & the activation has been played. Bonus code activation is not necessary!

Betting offer

Bookmaker portal BetOlimp is part of the Olimp Group from Malta. The company has been successfully implementing online gambling offers since 2004. The bookmaker is one of the insider tips, especially among soccer fans when it comes to top odds. Currently, new customers can secure a 100 € free bet. The game is played on a very clear bookmaker portal. Tippers can generally expect a very convincing portfolio with sufficient depth of play. The provider was rated very positively by many other comparison portals. Reason enough for us to take a closer look at the offer. Is this really a recommendation for sports bettors? Where are the construction sites here? Our BetOlimp review 2018 answers these and many other questions.

30+ sports & 300+ depth of play at Fußball 1. Bundesliga
The betting program of BetOlimp relies on a total of 32 different sports. Here you will find main sports such as soccer or tennis. The focus here is clearly on these bets. Of these, most are represented. But also martial arts or rugby bets can be placed here. A whole range of offers from the Esport area are also at the start. Three bets from the area of culture (Game of Thrones) complete the portfolio. When it comes to soccer in Germany, it goes down to the top league. Here, up to 70 options can be found as the depth of play in the encounters. In the first Bundesliga, players will then find over 300 meaningful options on selected matches.

BetOlimp: The detailed test of Sportwettenvergleich.com
The BetOlimp betting program and the depth of play to be found there can actually convince at first glance. Now, of course, the whole package has to be right. What about the betting tax, which type of player is served by the live center and where does the bonus rank compared to competitors? Our Sportwettenvergleich.com test of bookmaker BetOlimp clears things up!

Live bets

At BetOlimp live betting, a total of twelve different sports were found at the time of testing on Friday morning. In this case, the focus is also more on soccer betting and tennis betting. There is no option here to watch multiple matches at the same time. Players always have to choose a single match. This is then offered with a small statistics display and 3D display. But that’s it. Changes in odds are not highlighted in color. And you also have to do without a multi-view display like at 22bet!

Multiple display: Personalizable multiview not at the start
I.e., there is no possibility to display several events at the same time next to each other and watch them in parallel. Especially for bettors who play several matches at the same time on Bundesliga Saturday, this factor is important. This bookie completely does without a multiple display, which we find relatively unfortunate. Changes in odds must necessarily be highlighted in color. Here, the bookmaker must upgrade in a timely manner. Who wants to watch exclusively a single event, can work with this live betting. Whereby then very close attention must be paid to the individual odds, whose changes are not highlighted in color. There are definitely better live centers!

Quotes & Betting Features

Quotes

The current odds key of this bookmaker ranges from 91 to 95% depending on the sport. In this case, we are talking about average values that vary depending on the sport. For a direct odds comparison, we have now taken the top dog bet365. Here, too, customers have to pay the tax out of their own pocket. A few matches from the first Bundesliga were compared.

Especially with favorite bets on draws, the odds can be better here. (Source: BetOlimp)
Top odds for draws
Here, a clear regularity emerges. BetOlimp offers much better odds than the top dog, especially on draws. While the odds on the favorite differ by just 0.01-0.02 points, it looks quite different for draws. Here the difference can be up to 0.05 points. For the underdog, the odds are similar for both. I.e., especially if a draw is to be assumed, BetOlimp usually has the nose in front with its odds!

Deposits & Withdrawals

Deposits

BetOlimp payment methods include credit cards, instant bank transfer, bank transfer, paysafecard or e-wallets like Skrill and Neteller. Unfortunately, the bookmaker does not provide a transparent presentation of all available payment methods including fees and processing times. In the T&Cs you will find entries. At least ten euros per deposit regardless of the method must be used. A maximum of € 5,000 can be deposited. Fees do not apply to the deposits.

Withdrawals

BetOlimp pays out from € 15
A minimum of €15 must be paid out during the payouts. A maximum of 500,000 € can be triggered per payout. From a value of € 2,000, proof of identity must be carried out before the payout is triggered. With regard to the payout, there is no information on fees. Sports betting with PayPal or Bitcoin is not supported!

Reputation & Security

The BetOlimp website is secured via a Commodo certificate and the company holds a valid license in Malta. To obtain the license, the portal had to prove that customer funds are protected from fraud. For this, they have to be stored in escrow accounts. At the same time, a company must prove that it has a certain number of employees. Because only in this way would it be guaranteed that the bookmaker can take care of all customer concerns. These requirements of the licensing authority from Malta were met. Otherwise, there would have been no license.

Extensive help for responsible gaming
In addition to the aspect that the bookmaker portal requires a valid license and the website is secured via a valid certificate, we also examine in this category how a bookmaker informs about the topic of responsible gaming. And here, BetOlimp’s info page is extremely comprehensive. For one thing, it has been translated into very good German. We have to praise that alone. On the other hand, there are further links to addiction counseling centers. Namely to those from Austria and Germany. We think this is really good. Many competitors limit themselves only to international offers.

Service & Support

The most convenient way to reach BetOlimp customer support is via live chat. It is available around the clock. This has to be emphasized positively. At the time of testing at 11:00 in the morning on Friday, we could not reach a German-speaking employee. The English-speaking customer service employee offered us that we ask our questions in German and he translates them with the Google Translator. I.e. with BetOlimp support, primarily the players who speak at least rudimentary English gain positive BetOlimp experience. Otherwise, you have to limit yourself to the offer with the translation program. Alternatively, you can also send an e-mail to the customer service. You can reach the provider’s customer service via the e-mail address [email protected]. The e-mails are answered 24 hours, seven days a week.

There are FAQs – but they lack an overview
At the top, there is a bar with a Help button. In it, you will find a FAQ info pages on certain topics, such as betting types or bonus conditions. The German translations can be described as very good. We leave praise for that. What we are missing iss simply a kind of FAQ menu. Thus, the offer lacks an overview.

Functions & Design

When it comes to the current BetOlimp design concept, the menu structure and the general BetOlimp usability, there are a few aspects that we praise. First of all, we are talking about a very tidy portal, as the bookmaker portal relies on a total of four different design colors. The corporate color red predominates here. The lack of a multitude of colors makes for a clear overview. The left bar with the sports scrolls independently of the middle column with the events/options and the right column with the betting slip. This has been solved very sensibly. Because if you want to select another sport and scroll for it or if you want to select one of the lowest options, your betting slip always stays in your viewport!

BetOlimp sports betting home page
Betting slip stationary – but no game depth display…
Overall, however, the bookmaker does not do without a few info fields on its home page. Thus, in the far right column under the bill, there is a column with the promotions and with the current sports bets. This offers quick picks for 3-way bets. What we find fault with, and what bothers us a bit, is that this bookmaker refrains from displaying the individual game depths. At the same time, this one does not have to hide with its betting selection and player depth. Even if there are competitors who offer over 1,000 options, it does not mean that with the almost 200 options here could not be worked sensibly. Quite the opposite: Especially with over 1,000 options, there are a lot of exotics that are more reminiscent of gambling than sensible and strategic betting. 100-200 options always offer all the most important betting options including a few more exotic options.
