Slottica sports betting experience – test & review

Bonus & VIP Offer

Welcome bonus

Don’t be fooled when you click on “Bonuses” in the menu. There are a lot of promotions listed here, but Slottica does not have a welcome bonus for sports betting. What is displayed here is tuned for casino betting, but it is quite compelling for that. Deposit bonuses, free spins and a different promotion every day of the week would make me click my tongue if sports betting wasn’t excluded from the turnover here as well.

VIP & Loyalty Program

Unfortunately, Slottica does not have a VIP program either. However, as a betting fan, you don’t have to completely do without a Slottica bonus, because fortunately there is another promotion below that is tailored to you as a betting fan. There is at least 5% cashback on lost combined bets from four events, which goes up to 55% for twenty single bets. This even goes in the other direction, because on multi-bet winnings there is subsequently staggered between 5% and 100% surcharge. But that’s already the end of the relevant bonus part. Because if you take a close look, you will see that the promotions listed there overlap, are kept vague and are partly just ordinary betting features.

This does not meet my requirements for a good bookmaker and I recommend you the bonus world only as a casino player. Although not a classic bonus, but at least a special sports lottery I have then but still found. All your betting winnings give you a proportionate daily chance of additional winnings. The theoretically possible jackpot of $350,000 is drawn daily, but the payout can take up to half a year.

Betting offer

Even without a bonus program, however, the general betting offer of Slottica convinces me. Even smaller soccer leagues like Israel or Ukraine get almost 200 single bets per game, the big blockbuster games from the Bundesliga or Champions League have about 1000 betting markets to offer. So I forgive the fact that Germany is only included up to the second league, especially since the whole world is otherwise represented.

Unfortunately, you quickly lose the overview when it says “Team 2 to win first and not to win” or “H1 (-1.5) and 1st half 1 Yes/No”. Nevertheless, I give the betting offer a thumbs up, because apart from king soccer, about 30 other sports are waiting for you with popular representatives like tennis, basketball and ice hockey, but also fringe sports like hurling, Gaelic soccer or chess.

Clicking through and experimenting is worthwhile in any case. Some political and entertainment bets may not be missing and who can predict the next pope exactly?

Live bets

Some events are also offered in live mode, but by no means all of them. Thanks to the successful multi-view, you can spend your soccer Saturday with live betting and search for new matches in the calendar at any time. On the right side above the betting slip you can see a dynamic mini game field with current information during the games, although for my taste there should be a bit more statistics in Slottica. However, you can study more numbers for some events via the “MC” icon for Match Center. Sometimes you will also find four bars, which you can use to reach Sport Stat, where you can find lineups and such.

Here you can directly recognize the unattractive red thread of the page, namely that there is no such thing. In the middle of the live betting overview, a soccer match that is not running at all suddenly appears with a photo, and the live feed does not always match the selected match. Unfortunately, these are not pleasant little mistakes, but many inaccuracies on the entire website, which cause a certain distance for me. Nevertheless, the live bets are fine in themselves and serve their purpose.

When you place a live bet, according to our test, you look at the loading display for about 6 seconds until your bet is accepted.

Quotes & Betting Features

Quotes

Every bookie stands and falls with its odds level. Slottica’s betting offer is, as described, generally okay, but what about the payout? To find out, I took a look around the site and randomly selected ten prematch odds. Thereby I come to payout values of 95,59 / 93,48 / 94,98 / 96,00 / 93,55 / 93,47 / 92,38 / 90,58 / 92,57 / 91,82 %, which means an average key of 93,44 %. This puts Slottica odds in a normal range that most bookmakers will offer you at this level. Prominent soccer matches promise up to 96% payout, less popular result tips will practically never bring you less than 91%. Of course, in the numerous secondary markets and live betting, the odds can still drop, as always.

Betting Features

I am satisfied with the different betting features, which cannot keep up with our test winners, but are more extensive than at some other bookmakers. Two of them even appear in the bonus offer for the purpose of misinformation, without being a bonus.

With the cashout function, you can cancel bets early as usual and secure at least a part of the winnings. You can also use the “Review and Edit” function to reconsider your decisions before the events.

You can call up the betting calculator via the small calculator in the upper right corner and experiment with odds and stakes there. In addition, you will find a calendar, a results archive and individual statistics, and you can activate “quick bets” in the betting slip. The basic bets are industry standard single bet (Ordinar), combination bet (Express) or the system. And of course you can also save favorites and reach them even faster.

Deposits & Withdrawals

Deposits

At Slottica you can deposit through the following channels:

Visa
Mastercard
WebMoney
Skrill
NETELLER
paysafecard
Neosurf
Zimpler
ecoPayz
Jeton
Rapid Transfer
Nordea
Payeer
Perfect Money

Possible are always between 10 and 2,000 euros at once (paysafecard up to 1000 euros) and the money is usually available immediately and free of charge. Withdrawals are also not associated with fees and are preferably made via the previously already used ways. Named are:

Visa
Skrill
ecoPayz
Jeton
Payeer
Perfect Money

Withdrawals

Unfortunately, I have problems with the increased minimum amount of 50 euros per withdrawal. So if you take the opportunity and deposit 10 euros for a few sports bets, you need a significant profit to not lose everything.

I like the upper limits for this though, where you can withdraw 2000 euros a day, 10,000 euros a week and 40,000 euros a month. Unfortunately, Slottica puts obstacles in your way, because after each request they wait three days to see if you want to cancel the payout. After that, about 36 hours of processing begin and then the transfer follows. So, especially with a bank transfer, expect the money to arrive in a week at the earliest.

In addition, there is the very customer-unfriendly rule that each deposit must be invested at least three times (!), otherwise a commission of 20% (!) will be charged on withdrawal. Also note that while you don’t have to provide any personal data for registration yet, for withdrawals your profile has to be filled out completely. There are no fixed requirements for the verification process, instead you will be contacted by mail or phone as soon as you need to deliver documents.

My experience with the first deposit and withdrawal
Of course, I also took a closer look at the deposit and withdrawal areas of the provider Slottica. As you know, I was not able to activate a welcome bonus.

After I had successfully set up my account, I wanted to go straight to action. I selected I payment menu my first deposit. In doing so, you first have to decide on a specific payment method. I decided to make a deposit via credit card in the amount of 30 euros. The deposit was done very quickly.

Withdrawing my 30 euros turned out to be more difficult than expected. First of all, I would have to reach the minimum payout amount of 50 euros. For this, I deposited another 20 euros into my account. Unfortunately, I received neither an error message nor a credit. Therefore, I deposited another 20 euros into my account. When I now requested my payout, I was shown a total of 70 euros credit. A really sovereign handling of the deposits is this not with the best will in the world.

In addition, I noticed that I would have to convert my deposit at least three times before the payout. Due to my previous over-deposit, this was of course doubly annoying for me. After some time, however, I had the payout free. I simply bet on 1.10 odds each time.

I finally got 95 Euros for payout. However, this payout was first rejected because my credit card still had to be verified. A good indication that speaks for Slottica. I then uploaded my credit card for verification and triggered the payout again. The money is not back yet, but I will report to you as soon as the money is there.

The payout at Slottica does contain one or two pitfalls and therefore I would not put the bookie in the category of extraordinarily customer-friendly providers. Triple wagering and a minimum payout are definitely a hurdle.

Reputation & Security

As already mentioned, I don’t consider Slottica to be an overly fair betting provider, but one that operates within the legal framework. So your money is safe and you don’t have to worry about fraud. The sportsbook operates under a master license from Curaçao, which guarantees certain minimum standards – but nothing more.

In the Slottica test, I found detailed betting rules, but also poorly structured T&Cs. Even if I assume the general protection of your data, the privacy policy is far too general (“… and deal seriously with the storage of personal data”). However, the overview on responsible gaming is more detailed again. For addiction prevention, you unfortunately have to become active yourself at the customer service, so you don’t get a user interface in the player account, but a somewhat hidden button that causes a temporary self-exclusion of one week.

Overall, I can say that Slottica is a reputable provider that takes appropriate security precautions, but you will experience a mediocre information policy and possibly fall into the trap here and there (be it confusing bonus promises or too high payout limits).

Service & Support

Unfortunately, you will often have to contact the customer service, but you will not always get satisfactory answers. The website itself does not provide much information and I think Slottica is simply too impersonal. You can read some things in the terms and conditions, but that can’t be a claim for a good bookmaker. Slottica does not have a FAQ section at all and there are only a few sentences about “About us” or “Contact”.

In terms of support, my experiences with Slottica are therefore mixed at best. Direct contact is possible via email, but also via a hotline in the UK, which is manned around the clock and sometimes also with a German employee. The live chat can also be reached at any time of the day or night in German, but provided me with only a few friendly and hardly detailed answers.

Functions & Design

Slottica follows a simple design with a white background and blue color scheme. This looks a bit clunky and not very modern in many places, but is clear overall. I would love it to be different, but for me Slottica has a noticeably lifeless design and hardly even conveys any joy in sports betting. On the home page itself, the casino is the main thing to whet your appetite, albeit far too clichéd and outdated with a string of pretty women. Many other bookmakers show me every day how to create customer intimacy in a simple way through an honest appearance.

My Slottica experience is also marred by the fact that the betting view is not completely intuitive for newbies and you need some time to find your way around. The betting menu works by expanding and collapsing, and once opened sub-items do not close automatically. A telling example of Slottica’s sobriety is the betting numbers that notoriously pop up. As an avid bettor, I want to know what the community is betting on, but instead I see that Borussia Dortmund vs Paris St. Germain is number – No. 3 955.

Nice is the slider rule, which directly makes all bets for a selected period appear. The betting slip is tidy and the classic three-column view serves its purpose as always.

Other Offers

Slottica is an online casino
Having had to criticize a lot so far, it’s only fair if I conclude by looking a bit more closely at Slottica’s main area of operation. Sports betting runs rather incidentally, but I also notice a certain distance in the casino and the generally weak customer policy remains, of course.

In terms of content, however, I am thrilled and can only recommend Slottica to you. Almost 40 software providers from NetEnt to Play’n GO and Microgaming are waiting for your bets. Slottica has about 2500 (!) casino games, most of which you can test for play money in demo mode without registering.

As always, the main part of the games are slot machines, but you will also find numerous table games from roulette and blackjack to poker and baccarat. In addition, there is a lot of variety with keno, scratch cards and much more, as well as the strong live casino with game shows from Evolution, NetEnt, Ezugi and others.

A separate menu item is dedicated to Virtual Sports, which are the perfect link for you between sports betting and casino action. You can place normal bets in simulated soccer and tennis matches, as well as various races. An additional special feature at Slottica are the live slots from Novomatic, where you can gamble via webcam and interactive interface. Various slots competitions and raffles round out the Slottica casino, which is considerably stronger than the sports betting.
