Bonus & VIP Offer

As with most bookmakers, you can also find the promotions category on the Tornadobet website. There, the bookie advertises various bonus promotions. The offers are aimed at both new customers and regular players. For example, there is a welcome package for new players as well as a weekly bonus for loyal customers.

Welcome bonus

Tornadobet welcomes its new customers with a welcome package that includes a bonus of up to 300 euros. The offer consists of two independent components. The maximum bonus amount is quite high in the betting provider comparison. First, there is a 100% bonus on the first deposit up to a maximum of 100 euros and then you can secure a 50% bonus up to a maximum of 200 euros on the second deposit. The same bonus conditions apply to both parts.

You must make your first deposit within 14 days of registration to qualify for the Tornadobet bonus. The minimum deposit is 20 euros, the maximum bonus amount is 100 euros. You must now wager the deposit amount at least once at a minimum odds of 1.80 to activate the bonus.

After that, you have 30 days to clear the bonus. To do so, you have to wager the bonus and the deposit 10 times at a minimum odds of 1.80. With this, the bookmaker sets very strict requirements. It is very difficult to clear the bonus in this way. The competition usually requires a 3 to 5 times turnover at a similar minimum rate.

If you manage to fulfill the bonus conditions, the bonus and the resulting winnings are available to you as a stake for further bets or for withdrawal. In addition, you can now apply for the second part of the bonus. The same conditions apply as for the first part. However, your second deposit will not be doubled. The second time you get only 50% bonus up to a maximum of 200 euros. This means that if you want the full bonus amount, your second deposit must be at least 400 euros.

My conclusion: Quantitatively, the bonus from Tornadobet is very tempting. However, the bonus conditions are very demanding and differ a lot from the best offers of the competition. A payout from bonus funds certainly succeeds only the fewest players. However, you can use the bonus to test the bookmaker and try out different betting markets.

Information about the welcome bonus and the bonus conditions at a glance:

VIP & Loyalty Program

There is no classic VIP & loyalty program with points and player status at Tornadobet. However, the bookmaker offers its loyal customers a weekly sports bonus up to a maximum of 200 euros. The bonus conditions are like those of the welcome bonus – demanding and difficult to implement. According to my experience with Tornadobet, you should not expect to make a profit from a bonus balance.

Betting offer

Tornadobet’s betting offer is interesting, but it is far from being able to keep up with the best offers in the industry. In total, there are around 20 sports and a section for e-sports available. The main focus is, of course, king soccer, followed by the other betting classics boxing, basketball and tennis. Exotic sports are hardly represented. Instead, there are special bets from politics and television as well as a separate category for Olympics.

Let’s take a look at the selection in terms of online football betting. In this sport you can enjoy a varied offer. The list of countries is long, headed by the top European soccer nations. In addition, there are other countries from all continents. Countries like Bahrain, Costa Rica, Cameroon and Indonesia are also part of Tornadobet’s portfolio and often not only with a league. Even friendly matches can be found in the category “Others”. On the other hand, there are no women’s leagues and no encounters of the young talents (U19/U21).

From Germany, the first, second and third Bundesliga as well as various regional leagues and the DFB Cup are at the start. So you are spoilt for choice and can bet on the stars of your club non-stop. There is also a lot of variety for England, Spain and Italy with different leagues and tournaments.

All in all, the selection in top soccer is very successful in depth. The betting options are also very diverse. For top matches in the Bundesliga, you can choose from up to about 350 different tips. These include typical bets like classic win bets, over/under bets, handycaps and double chances as well as numerous event bets. For example, you can bet on the player who scores the last goal or on the team that scores first.

Live bets

The same applies to live betting as to the prematch area. In terms of breadth, the offer in the Tornadobet test is not convincing. There is definitely still some catching up to do. In terms of depth, however, Tornadobet is already excellently positioned. All sports from the prematch area can also be found live, as long as matches are played. However, since the selection of sports is still limited, there are definitely times when no live bets are available.

However, when betting is offered, you will enjoy a great selection of betting options. Even on lesser known matches, such as a soccer match between Politecnico J.I.C and Molino Viejo (Colombia Liga Antioqueña de Fútbol), you can still choose from over 40 different picks in the second half. For top matches, the number is much larger.

Another point of criticism: There are neither live streams nor statistics or any live animations in Tornadobet’s live center. However, the bookmaker will surely change that, as otherwise it has no chance of attracting customers for live betting. Without real-time evaluations on the game, it is hard to follow live betting and make tips accordingly. Especially since mostly only top events are broadcast somewhere on the Internet. So Tornadobet definitely needs to expand its offer here if the bookmaker wants to establish itself.

The only consolation is that the live center is easy to use. I immediately found my way around and was able to navigate between different games and sports very well.

Odds & Betting Features

Odds

I have had rather negative experiences with the odds at TornadoBet. In the test, I determined an average odds ratio of 92.6%. For top matches, the values were between 94.5% and 95% and that is too little overall. Top bookmakers offer an average odds key of about 95% to 97% and for top events even between 98% and 99% are possible.

For my odds test, I randomly selected ten games from the current offer and calculated the odds key. This minimizes distortions caused by odds outliers up or down. The following ten betting odds were determined:

94,14 / 91,00 / 94,93 / 90,87 / 93,74 / 93,75 / 92,51 / 90,70 / 89,43 / 94,84

This puts Tornadobet in the lower midfield, far below the top providers. Also, no special odds are offered for outsiders or favorite wins.

Betting features

Special betting features are missing at Tornadobet so far. There is neither a cashout option nor a betting configurator or other gamification elements. But what is not, can still become. Since Tornadobet only launched in 2019, you can expect some enhancements from this bookmaker. Otherwise, it will not be able to stay on the market for long.

Deposits & Withdrawals

The selection of payment methods at Tornadobet is very appealing. You can use different providers for deposits and withdrawals and can rely on a secure processing. The following service providers are available in this country:

Credit card: Visa
Bank transfer: Bank Transfer, Skrill Rapid, ecoPayz, MB Multibanco
Prepaid card: paysafecard, AstroPay Card
E-Wallets: Neteller, Skrill

The limits differ depending on the chosen payment method. The minimum deposit is 10 or 20 euros. The maximum deposit amount is between 1,000 and 15,000 euros. Withdrawals are possible from 25 euros. The maximum payout is 15,000 euros. In addition, payouts are limited to a maximum of 2,000 USD or the equivalent in euros per day. Larger amounts are therefore paid out in installments, so you may have to be patient.

Tornadobet does not charge fees for deposits and withdrawals. However, costs may arise on the part of the payment provider, for which you as a player must pay yourself.
KYC procedure: How your identity is checked

A classic KYC procedure is not initially provided for when opening a player account. However, during registration at Tornadobet you agree that the bookmaker may have your identity verified by third parties. As part of this, you will be asked to submit a copy of your ID (ID card or passport) as well as a current proof of your address (e.g. current consumer bill such as water, mobile phone or electricity). The same applies to the payment details provided. For this purpose, the bookmaker reserves the right to request current bank statements to ensure that the money ends up with you and not with third parties.
My experience with the first deposit, the bonus activation and the payout

I also jumped into the deep end for you with the provider Tornadobet and took a closer look at the deposit, bonus activation and withdrawal.

I wanted to make my first deposit after the bumpy registration and load credit in the amount of 30 euros on my account. I decided to make a deposit via Paysafecard. I was able to successfully make the deposit without any difficulties. As with other providers, this process takes only a few moments.

However, the welcome bonus was not credited directly to my account. After a brief investigation, I found that I had not overlooked any conditions or the like, but the bonus was simply not there. When I went to check with customer service, I found that the live chat at Tornadobet was unavailable. Especially with simple and quick concerns like mine regarding the bonus activation, it is particularly annoying when you can’t solve the problem immediately in the live chat. So I wrote an email to the support and asked them to credit the bonus. However, I did not receive a response for days. This astonishing response time also does not exactly lead to maximum points in the rating. After the cumbersome registration process, this was already the second glaring error. The bonus was never credited to me.

When I then wanted to at least try a withdrawal, I was disappointed again. A payout via bank transfer is only possible if you want to withdraw at least 50 euros. So I continued to wait for an answer from customer service.

Overall, during my test run at the provider Tornadobet, some things could have worked better and in my opinion should have. The registration process was an imposition and also the performance of the customer service was anything but exhilarating. There are a few things here that still need to be improved.

Reputation & Security

When it comes to seriousness, there are no concerns with Tornadobet to begin with. The company behind the portal, Media Entertainment N.V., has Portuguese roots and years of experience in the world of online casinos. The company is based on Curaçao and can show a gambling license valid from there. Since the Caribbean island belongs to the Netherlands, Tornadobet is allowed to legally organize sports betting everywhere in the EU with this license and thus also in Germany. While the competent authority of Curaçao is not known as a strict regulator, Tornadobet undoubtedly offers a safe gaming environment. Experience in the casino industry attests to the provider’s reliability when it comes to deposits and withdrawals and with regard to player data. For this purpose, the bookie relies on 128bit encryption and high security standards.

The portals of Media Entertainment N.V. include, among others, LSbet Casino and Bet9Casino. While the latter is also still quite new, the LSbet Casino is now considered a confessed online casino. Accordingly, you can assume that Tornadobet promotes a responsible approach to gambling. Among other things, this is also evidenced by the self-exclusion option. This allows you to exclude yourself from gambling for a certain period of time if you wish. However, a setting of personal deposit limits is not (yet) integrated.

Service & Support

The customer support of Tornadobet can only be reached in writing via live chat and email and that “only” at the following times: Monday, Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday from 4 pm to midnight and Thursday and Friday from 12 pm to midnight. A hotline or callback function is not available. However, the quality of customer service is very good according to my experience with Tornadobet. The employees answer quite fast, friendly and competent. In the chat I never really had to wait and also by email I received the answers within a few hours. The only drawback is that the support team only speaks Portuguese and English. So you can’t ask your questions in German. For this, the bookie offers its German-speaking customers a FAQ section in German. The translation is very good, the answers are easy to understand. But the selection is limited to the essential points. That is, you will find very few FAQ. If you have specific questions, you have to contact the customer service.

Functions & Design

Personally, I find Tornadobet’s website very attractively designed. The design is simple, but modern, and differs little from the competition. The bookmaker appears in different shades of blue. The font is white and the highlights or selected menu items are marked in red.

You can find your way around immediately, not least because the website is structured in the typical 3-column format. On the left side you will find the selection menu with all sports and countries. In the middle, all matches and betting markets are displayed and on the right is your betting slip. Even if you are a beginner, you will not have any difficulties.

The page is easy to navigate. However, there is a problem if you use a reduced browser window. Then you can only scroll up and down, but not left and right, which makes it almost impossible to operate in this view.

Also, so far Tornadobet is only available in four different languages: German, English, Portuguese and Polish. The German translation is very good. Even detailed texts are very easy to understand.

Other Offers

Online casino

Tornadobet is not only attacking sports betting. The provider also wants to take off in the online casino section. The section is planned and the T&Cs indicate that there will also be casino games including live tables. However, the selection is not yet available at the current time.

Planned are games from Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Tain, Play’n GO and iSoftbet – a high-quality selection of well-known manufacturers. So, you can expect entertaining slots as well as the following table and card games: Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat, Casino Hold’em and Poker.

Virtual sports

In addition to sports betting and online casino games, Tornadobet also offers the “Virtual Sports” section. The offer is already available and looks very promising. Bets are available around the clock. These are generated continuously and the competitions are played in different modes. Match simulations are intelligently determined by a combination of artificial intelligence and independent random number generators. Player performance parameters, such as number of goals, fitness, consecutive game statistics, etc., are based on the real values of professional athletes. To choose from are: Soccer, basketball, horse betting, greyhound racing and tennis. Also nice: all games are broadcast as a livestream.
