VBet sports betting experience – test & review

Bonus & VIP Offer

Welcome bonus

After you have created a betting account at VBET, you can secure a 100% free bet up to 20 euros. The amount of the VBET sports betting bonus depends on the amount of your first bet. To receive a bonus credit, you must wager at least 10 euros on a minimum of three selections within 14 days. However, the minimum deposit to activate the bonus is 20 euros. VBET will then match your wagering by 100%.

For every single qualifying bet VBET has set a minimum odds of 1.3. If you place a combination bet, each selection must have the corresponding odds. The bookie will credit you the bonus within 10 minutes after the qualifying bet has been settled. In exceptional cases, however, this can take up to 48 hours, according to VBET.

The free bet has a validity of 14 days. Fortunately, the bookie has waived a turnover target.

VIP & Loyalty Programme

VBET has done without a VIP club as well as a loyalty points program. However, this is not too bad in my opinion, as the betting provider offers its customers bonuses time and again.

Existing customers can also benefit from bonus offers at regular intervals. Sometimes it is about free bets, sometimes you can dust off a deposit bonus. In addition, some odds are boosted every day.

Betting offer

VBET currently offers almost 40 betting disciplines. From soccer, basketball and tennis to ice hockey, volleyball and handball to table tennis, boxing and motor sports, all popular sports can be found at this bookie. However, the portfolio also includes disciplines that are very popular in other regions of the world, for example:

Baseball
American football
Cricket
Rugby League
Rugby Union
VBET gets plus points for having some exotics as well, including:

Weightlifting
Water polo
Surfing
Floorball
Curling

As it turned out in the VBET sports betting test, the bookmaker is most broadly positioned in soccer. For the European soccer nations, mostly the highest 3 divisions are provided. However, the bookmaker also quotes international competitions such as the UEFA Champions League and numerous other leagues, for example from Uzbekistan, Singapore and Mexico.

Wide range of betting options especially for soccer
The number of betting markets provided depends on the sport and the popularity of the match or event. For soccer matches of well-known teams, you can sometimes choose between more than 300 betting options.

For other well-known sports, according to my VBET sports betting experiences, there are about 50 to 150 betting markets available. In the area of fringe sports, the level drops even further. What types of bets you can place at VBET, among others, is illustrated in the following overview:

Three-way bet (1×2)
Handicap and Asian Handicap betting
Double Chance
Over/Under bet
Total number of points/goals
Exact result
Overall winner bet
eSports & other special bets

VBET is not convincing in the eSports area. You can only bet on Arena of Valor, a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) originating from the Asian region.

The bookmaker does not offer special bets. The same applies to virtual bets.

Live bets

As far as live betting is concerned, VBET is really well positioned. The bookie also focuses on soccer. However, there are numerous other sports on which you can bet live. When I took a closer look at the live betting portfolio on a Friday afternoon, the following disciplines were available for betting:

Soccer
Basketball
Tennis
Ice Hockey
Volleyball
Table tennis
Badminton
Cricket
Floorball
Golf
Rugby Union
Snooker

To help you quickly identify changes in odds, green and red arrows are displayed to indicate increasing and decreasing odds, respectively.

According to the support, VBET sometimes also offers live streams – for example for soccer and tennis events. However, according to my VBET sports betting experiences, not too many matches are broadcast live. Most of the time you have to make do with a match tracker, which provides real-time information.

Quotes & Betting Features

Quotes

I have determined how high the odds level is at VBET Sportwetten with the help of a random sample. For this purpose, 10 betting markets were analyzed. The focus was on soccer, but I also looked at tennis and basketball betting options, for example. The following list shows the values I calculated:

98.01 (Boost) / 96.83 / 96.56 / 96.73 / 92.47 / 93.22 / 91.74 / 94.03 / 91.82 / 93.51.

Thus, VBET achieves an average payout ratio of 94.49%, which means that the bookie does not have to hide from the competition at all. It is striking that the odds are very high, especially for soccer. For other sports, the betting provider offers significantly lower odds.

With the so-called “counter offer” there is the possibility, at least for single bets, to increase the odds by up to 5%.

Practical example of odds calculation
The top match between RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich is quoted by VBET as follows:

Odds Leipzig win: 2.86
Odds draw: 3,75
Munich win odds: 2.44
odds = 1 / (1 / 2,86 + 1 / 3,75 + 1 / 2,44) = 0,9745 = 97,45 %

Betting Features

At VBET you can use the so-called cashout function, which is provided for selected events. In addition to a full cashout, a partial cashout is also possible. I could not find a betting configurator in the course of my research.

Deposits & Withdrawals

Deposits

In the test, VBET has a broad sports betting payment portfolio. The option to pay for bets via cell phone bill is outstanding. However, I have to criticize that no deposits via paysafecard are possible. Which transaction means you can use, I have listed below:

NETELLER (10 € – 5.000 €), one of the most popular e-wallets
Trustly (1 € – 10.000 €), direct transfers via online banking
Skrill (5 € – 10.000 €), another popular e-wallet
Rapid Transfer (1 € – 10.000 €), also direct transfers via online banking
MuchBetter (€10 – €10,000), started as a smartphone app, now more of an e-wallet
giropay (1 € – 10,000 €), another e-wallet
Zimpler (10 € – 5,000 €), deposit via bill, card or online banking
ecoPayz (1 € – 10.000 €), further e-wallet
Sofort (5 € – 5.000 €), additional direct booking system
Mastercard (10 € – 5.000 €), classic credit card payment system

Deposits always land directly on your betting account. There are no transaction fees at this bookmaker, which also applies to withdrawals.

Withdrawals

The following overview shows which options you can use for payouts and which minimum amounts and limits the bookies have set:

NETELLER: 10 € – 500.000 €
Trustly: 1 € – 10.000 €
Skrill:1 € – 10.000 €
Rapid Transfer: 1 € – 10.000 €
MuchBetter: 10 € – 10.000 €
ecoPayz: 1 € – 10.000 €
Mastercard: 10 € – 10.000 €

Since the withdrawal period is not specified on the website, I asked the support. They explained to me that withdrawals are processed within 72 hours – but often much faster.

KYC process directly after account creation
At VBET, your identity is verified immediately after registration. You will need to upload the following documents through your profile:

Copy of an ID card, driver’s license or passport
Bank receipt or utility bill as proof of address
According to my VBET sports betting experience, the bookie usually needs less than an hour to check your documents.

Betting tax reduces your profit
VBET passes on the five percent betting tax incurred in Germany to its customers. The fee is deducted from your bet and displayed on the betting slip.

My experience with the first deposit and the payout
At this point I would like to tell you how I tested VBET and how my first experience with the deposit and withdrawal at VBET was. But unfortunately I have not come to this point yet.

I was able to register and then also verified my email. But as soon as I then tried to log into my new VBET account, I always got the error message “Your account is currently locked, please contact customer support”. Although I was not registered before.

I did that of course, but the chat was unfortunately no real help. First I had to wait quite a long time, then my request could not be answered and I was asked if it would be okay if I got the answer later by email.

Since I did not want to wait any longer, I agreed. A little later I received an e-mail. It said that my account was indeed blocked because I supposedly requested a self-exclusion in another casino of Vivaro Ltd (i.e. the operating company of VBET) until the year 2500. Which is definitely not the case. This self-exclusion would then also apply to all sister casinos.

In principle, this is laudable that this exclusion then also applies to other casinos for security reasons. Only: I have never requested a self-exclusion.

Thus, I had no choice but to ask a colleague from the editorial office to perform the test with his data. But he also had exactly the same problem and is also 100% sure that he never requested a self-exclusion at the listed casino.

So, the real money test did not lead to a pleasant result and caused more confusion than usual. Of course, this does not necessarily have to be the case for you, but be prepared that you might have the same problem.

Reputation & Security

The bookmaker has a high-quality Malta license (license number: MGA/B2C/292/2015), which is why I generally consider the bookie to be reputable. The fact that the brand is operated by Vivaro Limited also speaks for the trustworthiness of the bookmaker. The company is responsible for the bookies STSbet and BetBull, which are also considered reputable, but bettors from Germany cannot register with them.

Unfortunately, I also have to inform you that numerous negative user comments can be found about VBET. However, an analysis of the complaints shows that these are mostly due to a failed ID check.

In order to ensure secure data transmission, the betting provider uses the TSL encryption protocol. There is also nothing to complain about when it comes to player protection, because the following options are available to you:

Deposit limit (daily, weekly and monthly)
Betting limit (daily, weekly and monthly)
Loss limit (daily, weekly and monthly)
Self-exclusion (1 year or unlimited)
Time-out (1 day to 2 months)
Reality check

Service & Support

The support provides for positive VBET sports betting experiences. This is due to the fact that the customer service is staffed around the clock and is also offered in German. You can reach the employees as follows:

Live Chat
E-mail
Hotline (German number, but no 0800 hotline)

If you want to get an answer directly, I recommend the chat. You rarely have to wait longer than 30 seconds. On the other hand, I had to wait on hold for 5 minutes on the hotline. Regardless of the option chosen, the support staff always scores with friendliness and commitment.

Also worth mentioning: Numerous questions are already answered by the quite detailed FAQ menu.

Functions & Design

The VBET website features a modern design. All elements have been color-coordinated, all fonts are easily recognizable and the graphics look high-quality throughout. The site also scores with the following features:

German language version available
English and Turkish also available
6 different quota formats
Extensive statistics area

High usability – therefore also suitable for beginners
The only criticism concerns the betting slip. Although this was placed in an extra bar, it is still not optimally fixed.

Other Offers

In addition to sports betting, VBET’s portfolio also includes a virtual arcade where you can play slots and scratch games. Table games and a live casino are not provided – at least in Germany – which is due to the new regulatory requirements. In the online casino, only games from 11 providers are available to you, but among them are some of the best-known gaming companies, for example:

NetEnt
Pragmatic Play
Wazdan
Elk Studios
