Xtip sports betting experience – test & review

Bonus & VIP Offer

Welcome bonus

The XTiP bonus for new customers provides you with a maximum of 100 euros additional credit. A bonus value of 100 percent on your first deposit provides for the addition. This means that your first deposit will be supplemented by the exact amount that was deposited.

To be able to collect the bonus, you must deposit at least 10 euros. The extra credit is then automatically released according to the deposit amount. When placing a bet, the money that you deposited will be deducted first. The bonus account remains untouched.

You have to wager the amount of your deposit and the bonus received 3 times within 30 days on bets with a minimum odds of 1.50. Only then can you claim winnings from the deal. Only then you can withdraw winnings from the deal. Bets on the same event are not allowed. You may not bet more money per tip than you received as a bonus.

You can see the bonus granted and the already fulfilled and still missing turnover requirements under “Bonus overview”.

VIP & Loyalty Programme

There is no VIP program at XTiP. As an existing customer, however, you can benefit from various offers apart from the welcome bonus. These include, in particular, an odds boost and a combination bonus of 30 percent. The latter deal requires a very good minimum odds of 1.21.

Betting offer

XTiP is a German bookie that serves the German-speaking region. Therefore, it is not surprising that soccer is clearly ahead in the betting offer here. However, far more leagues than the German and Austrian Bundesliga or the Swiss Super League are offered.

The most important associations and international tournaments throughout Europe as well as worldwide are in the program. If you want, you can bet for example the Cup in Malaysia or the Pervaya League in Belarus.

The betting depth is good, but not outstanding. You won’t find any games from the regional league or the upper league at XTiP, which are definitely in the portfolio elsewhere. To be able to bet up to the third league is of course something. Similarly, it looks with the other associations. Often, the top two or three top segments are tippable in the most important leagues.

And of course, there are also other sports. Practically all world sports from tennis to golf to volleyball are available. Some sports are even divided into “Women” and “Men” directly in the menu.

eSports & other special bets
XTiP no longer offers eSports betting. This is because according to the new laws in Germany, corresponding options do not clearly fall under sporting events. Thus, they are no longer covered by the German license.

However, the last word was not yet spoken here at the time of my XTiP experience. So it may well be that there will soon be eSports at XTiP again.

The situation is different with virtual sports and special bets, such as bets on Deutschland sucht den Superstar or Dschungelcamp. According to the law, these clearly do not fall within the tolerance range of a sports betting license. As a player from Germany, you can soon no longer expect such offers at XTiP.

Live bets

At XTiP, the normal pre-match sports menu is also the live menu. You only have to set the filter “Live” to see all offers of this segment. In the filter below that, all the sports sections of the pre-match selection are available to you.

This means that all sports are also made available for live betting as soon as they take place. If no match is currently running under a sports filter, you will be shown the upcoming matches.

As soon as you click on a match, the betting markets are presented in a very clear and simple way. You have the option to expand an animated field graphic, which offers numerous statistics on the current event. Some of the graphics are even equipped with 3D animations.

If you want more statistics, you just have to click on the chart button in the upper right corner and you will get plenty of information. Long-term results and other facts are also available.

I could not find any live streams during my XTiP test.

Quotes & Betting Features

Quotes

Who has the best odds? This question always occupies sports betting fans quite centrally. Unfortunately, however, practically all bookies claim to offer very good odds. Of course, this is usually more of an advertising promise than the absolute truth.

If you want to be on the safe side, do the math yourself or let esport.directory.net do it for you. For XTiP, I have drawn an odds key of 92 to 93 percent. This results from the average of the following betting odds, which I randomly selected from the bookie’s portfolio at the time of my XTiP experience:

95,68 / 93,67 / 90,12 / 90,67 / 95,21 / 93,30 / 94,96 / 95,24 / 93,88 / 90,90
At first glance, such a key may not sound very spectacular, but it is not uncommon for the highlights in particular to go up a few percentage points. On the other hand, however, it must not be concealed that smaller competitions are sometimes still quoted somewhat “underground”.

If you take a close look at individual result possibilities, you will notice that XTiP almost always plays in the upper quota regions, but still mostly remains below the other big players.

Betting Features

Basically, you can make pre-match and live bets at XTiP. Furthermore, single bets, combined bets and system bets are possible.

Especially in the major soccer associations and matches, there are usually far more than 100 betting markets, whereby special bets are unfortunately often dropped for German bettors due to the new regulations in Germany.

XTiP also provides a betting configurator, with which you can combine several tips within a match.

A cashout is also offered for many bets.

Deposits & Withdrawals

Deposits

Deposits can be made easily and conveniently via credit cards, via Skrill (Moneybookers), via electronic banking, paysafecard, paybox, bonus.card or bank transfer. This is not good compared to other modern top bookies. With a German license, I would have definitely expected PayPal, Apple Pay or Trustly.

Deposits are mostly processed immediately. However, it can take a little while for a bank transfer. You are allowed to load 10 euros as a minimum. The maximum is 1,000 euros per month according to German licensing law.

Withdrawals

There is also a lower limit of 10 euros for the payout. A maximum amount is not specified. Payouts are made immediately with Skrill (Moneybookers). It is always paid out with the method that was also used for the account loading. Fees are not incurred for payments in principle.

However, XTiP cannot avoid the German betting tax with its German license. The bookmaker is obliged to pass on five percent of all sales of sports bettors directly to the tax office. If you win, you have to accept 5% betting tax from the gross amount.

Before you can cash out, however, you first have to go through the KYC procedure. The following is usually required for the payout: A copy of a photo ID (ID card, passport, driver’s license) as well as a current address confirmation (utility bill, registration certificate, etc.).

In individual cases, the online betting provider is entitled to request further documents from you. In practice, however, this only happens if there are inconsistencies in the verification.

My experience with the first deposit and payout
To my delight, I was able to make the first deposit with Paypal, which went as usual quickly and easily. My 30 euros were immediately in the account.

I could have selected the bonus during the deposit, but I decided against it.

My live bet was marked as “accepted” only after 10 seconds. This is a slow value.

Since I had to convert my deposit once completely, I started a total of three bets and was thus able to meet the turnover requirement. Before I could start the payout, I still had to verify myself. I uploaded my ID card and my bank details via the menu item Documents-Upload.

Within minutes the account was verified. Subsequently, the withdrawal was possible and my money was immediately in my account.

Reputation & Security

Even the license in Germany leaves no doubt that everything at XTiP is serious. They don’t just advertise with the slogan “Made in Germany”. The parent company Gauselmann (Merkur) is actually still based in Germany – namely in the small town of Espelkamp in North Rhine-Westphalia.

In addition, the company operates numerous stationary betting shops in Germany. Many German stars, such as Lukas Podolski, also serve as advertising media for this sports betting provider.

Technical security is primarily ensured by modern HTTPS encryption with a certificate from DigiCert.

The player protection is exemplary, as it should be for a bookmaker from Germany. Already during registration you can set a deposit limit and also other restrictions are easy to set via the account.

In addition, XTiP is a member of the IBIA (International Betting Integrity Association). This is a non-profit organization that monitors irregular betting patterns and possible cases of event manipulation.

One continues to operate accounts on the main social networks. In case of serious problems, you could complain in such a public way. There are hardly any negative comments to be found on this. Thus, the bookmaker generally has a good reputation on the web.

Service & Support

XTiP offers a 24/7 live chat in German for support. Alternatively, they provide a free German hotline. Here you can really call anytime and get rid of your questions. The employees are very nice and helpful.

Who does not like it so directly, still gets the opportunity to write an email. In addition, you can also communicate via the accounts on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

Standard questions can sometimes be answered via the FAQ. This is rather small compared to the offers of many competitors.

Functions & Design

You don’t have to expect any design frills at this sports betting provider. As befits a sports betting platform, everything is kept simple and clear in familiar structures. There is a horizontal main menu, a vertical sports menu on the left, the betting slip on the right and the betting options in the middle.

This simple, familiar layout is particularly liked by experienced bettors, but also by beginners. For the latter it means: Best conditions for a quick orientation. In addition, the sports menu contains a reliable filter function, which can be used to pick out the desired matches very precisely and easily.

XTiP is available in German, English, Turkish, Polish and several other languages.

Other Offers

XTiP provides casino fans with a large selection of slots under “slot games”. Here, the classics from Merkur – how could it be otherwise – take the central spot. But also some other well-known brands were represented during my XTiP experience.

Jackpots, table games or a live casino, where XTiP used to be absolutely top as well, are no longer available since the new legal regulation in Germany.
