Yourbet sports betting experience – test & review

Bonus & VIP Offer

Welcome bonus

Let’s start with the most important part of the Yourbet bonus program, namely the welcome bonus for all new customers. Yourbet promises you a 100% deposit bonus of a maximum of 100 euros. In order to be able to claim the welcome bonus, you must first activate it independently in your customer account under “Bonus payments” after your complete registration. You can optionally choose between the sports or casino bonus.

After that, you have to make your first deposit. Unlike other bookmakers, Yourbet does not impose any restrictions on your choice of payment method. The only thing you have to keep in mind is the minimum deposit of 10 euros. Of course, a bonus code does not need to be used, as the welcome bonus has already been activated beforehand. After the transaction has been confirmed, you can immediately see on an account balance that Yourbet has automatically doubled your deposit by 100 euros. For example, if you deposit 100 Euros, your account balance will be 200 Euros – a good starting amount with the Yourbet bonus!

In addition to the first deposit bonus of 100 euros, if you make a minimum deposit of 25 euros, you will receive a free sports bet worth 5 euros the following day and a total of 33 free spins for the Yourbet Casino. The free bet must be used within a week, while the 33 free spins each (3 times 11 free spins for the Ancient Egypt slot) must already be used within 24 hours. Good news for you: Yourbet does not require you to meet any turnover conditions regarding the free bet!

Basically, Yourbet requires a 10-fold turnover of the generated bonus before you can request a withdrawal. The turnover must be achieved within 30 days, otherwise the bonus will be forfeited and all winnings achieved until then will be cancelled without compensation. With a full bonus value of 100 euros, the minimum turnover would be 1000 euros. A value, which is quite achievable. The following wagering requirements also apply to the turnover:

Single bets must have a minimum odds of 1.72
Combi bets must contain minimum odds of 1.72 each

VIP & Loyalty Programme

After the positive impression of the welcome bonus, I had high expectations for further bonus promotions. Of course, this also applies to a possible VIP and loyalty bonus. However, after some research and inquiries with customer support, I was disappointed to find out that the other bonus promotions for existing customers are severely limited. You will not be able to use a classic loyalty bonus or a rewards program at Yourbet.

Of course, Yourbet will offer you a personal bonus code from time to time. However, you have to subscribe to the newsletter and check your email inbox regularly, because in some cases the mails from Yourbet slip into the spam folder. What I don’t really like about it is the lack of transparency. Nowadays, every betting provider should be interested in establishing a solid basis of trust with its customers. Unfortunately, Yourbet does not manage to do this with such decisions.

The only regular bonus promotions Yourbet will share with you on the website is a now conventional boost for combined bets, as well as a money-back guarantee of 50% should a soccer match end in a goalless draw. According to my experience and a betting bonus overview, this is simply not up to date and sufficient. For this reason, the positive impression that Yourbet was able to create thanks to its good welcome bonus unfortunately has to be tempered again somewhat.

Betting offer

The beginning of my Yourbet review is the complete betting offer. From my point of view, this is still the most important aspect of any sportsbook. Especially with new sports betting providers, I am always very curious to see what the respective company focuses on and how they try to stand out from the competition. At Yourbet, there is a clear guideline: the more sports bets, the better.

In total, you can choose from over 50 different betting markets at Yourbet and look forward to really varied betting opportunities. Admittedly, some betting markets are equalized, so that the final number of sports betting markets turns out to be somewhat higher than is actually the case. However, it is clearly recognizable that soccer is also the focus of Yourbet. You can pick matches worldwide (Burundi, Barbados, etc.), with customers from Germany in particular being fully satisfied here. While some new bookmakers struggle a bit with the depth of the betting market, at Yourbet you can pick out your desired bets up to the A and B Junior Bundesliga or the Upper and Regional Leagues. In the lower leagues, there are significantly fewer betting options available, but you can still be absolutely satisfied with such a selection.

Away from soccer, of course, there are old familiar faces to choose from. Especially for the European market, the ball sports are to be ranked quite high. Be it tennis, including all ATP and WTA Challenger tournaments, NBA betting or handball betting – you will hardly be limited. Also more than presentable are fringe sports, which are provided to a high degree by Yourbet. Among them are squash, darts or hurling. Personally, I could initially do little with these sports, only after a few weeks and some research I became a little more confident and have placed a bet here and there every now and then. For a change at the weekend between all the soccer bets, this is certainly quite recommendable.

In conclusion, however, I must state that Yourbet can fully meet one criterion in particular with its betting offer:. This undoubtedly concerns the eSports betting market. In contrast to established bookmakers, which primarily rely on traditional betting markets, new sports betting providers thrive on their progressiveness. And it is exactly this point that Yourbet fulfills. In addition to League of Legends and Overwatch, bets are also accepted on Dota 2, Counter-Strike: GO, StarCraft, StarCraft 2 and Rainbox Six. While I’m anything but a gamer, thanks to the broadcasts of Overwatch on the Internet and on TV, I’m definitely interested and can definitely imagine investing a bit more time in the eSports betting market in the future. Especially if you are a fan of one of these game series, you will be able to find some great opportunities here. Since the market is still relatively new and much more unpredictable, you can also expect some jumps in betting odds.

Live bets

Of course, the live bets are at the center of the sports betting offer. Yourbet has put its live betting at the center of its website, so you will be immediately informed about all current live bets after you have logged in with your data. But how does the selection turn out? Are live bets only provided on well-known events/matches or are more unknown sports also provided with live bets and possibly even statistics?

At first, you will certainly notice the somewhat cumbersome and rather unfashionable console for live betting. Here, Yourbet has definitely focused on quantity and wants to provide you with the shortest possible loading times instead of a visually appealing and modern presentation. However, the scope of the live betting is great and justifies this decision. In the direct betting provider comparison, you can rank in the top third and impresses not only with a high selection of daily live bets, but also a great depth of the individual leagues and varied sports.

As usual, most live bets are offered on soccer and tennis. In both cases, the top matches are equipped with some betting options and special bets, so you can ideally adjust your bets to the course of the game. Unfortunately, Yourbet cannot maintain this betting depth consistently for all sports or betting markets. However, if you take a look at the top providers on the scene for comparison, you will be able to see that Yourbet is not noticeably different and can still offer a solid variety.

If you are looking for a betting provider that also offers live betting and live streams, then Yourbet will certainly not be your first choice. According to the customer service, the company is interested in offering some live streams in the future, but currently this is not yet the case. Instead, you will be presented with some statistics about the events, so that you can still follow the course of the game and base your betting tickets on it. Based on my experience with new sports betting providers, I am quite positively taken with the scope of the statistics. Only the presentation of the statistics is in need of improvement and unfortunately adapts to the generally bland design.

Quotes & Betting Features

Quotes

In the end, a good betting offer can only be as good as the betting odds and the attractiveness of these allow. For this reason, it was important to me personally to have an exact overview of the payout and odds keys. In order to give you an overview that is as accurate as possible and not influenced by extreme odds drops, I have taken ten different bets. The first guideline is for the most important and largest betting market at Yourbet – soccer. As an example, I have chosen betting odds of the current match day of the first 3 Bundesligen and have been able to determine the following benchmark:

93,17 / 94,77 / 93,61 / 92,88 / 90,45 / 91,38 / 90,92 / 93,02 / 90,18 / 91,25 ~ 92,16 %

A benchmark of 92.16% is absolutely fine for a newcomer among the sports betting providers on the Internet. With this value, you should keep in mind that especially games of the 2nd and 3rd Bundesliga do not have the same financial scope and volume as the top games of the 1st Bundesliga. You can therefore be sure that the top matches of the 1. Bundesliga and other European top leagues are on a high level and at least 93%. To confirm the benchmark, I had to bring in another betting market and do a similar workup of the betting odds. Due to a similar gradient of the betting odds I decided to use the tennis betting market. The following guideline value has resulted from the individual betting odds:

90,21 / 90,89 / 89,52 / 91,76 / 93,08 / 88,69 / 90,04 / 91,17 / 91,50 / 90,70 ~ 90,76 %

Although the benchmark value in the tennis betting market has slipped by just under 1.5%, I attribute this to the sometimes very unattractive matches of individual WTA or ATP Challengers. Basically, you should also be able to get solid odds for the tennis area, which can be placed in the lower midfield in the direct betting provider comparison.

Betting Features

The betting market has always been able to evolve over the past years. New betting functions have been developed to offer you even more gaming fun and, of course, more security for the companies. New sports betting providers in particular are required to have these betting functions available and ready to use from day one.

The most important innovation in recent years is without a doubt the cashout function. And it is exactly this cashout function that you can use at Yourbet. You can assign your current betting tickets, no matter if single or combination bets, to Yourbet at any time and thus end them prematurely. This way you can either secure larger winnings and simply minimize your possible losses. Various betting strategies have emerged from the cashout function and are used with great interest by many customers throughout Europe.

Deposits & Withdrawals

Deposits

Der Wettmarkt hat sich in den letzten Jahren immer weiterentwickelt. Es wurden neue Wettfunktionen entwickelt, um Ihnen noch mehr Spielspaß und natürlich auch mehr Sicherheit für die Unternehmen zu bieten. Gerade neue Sportwettenanbieter müssen diese Wettfunktionen vom ersten Tag an zur Verfügung haben und nutzen können.

Die wichtigste Neuerung der letzten Jahre ist zweifelsohne die Cashout-Funktion. Und genau diese Auszahlungsfunktion können Sie bei Yourbet nutzen. Sie können Ihre laufenden Wettscheine, egal ob Einzel- oder Kombiwetten, jederzeit an Yourbet abtreten und damit vorzeitig beenden. Auf diese Weise können Sie sich entweder größere Gewinne sichern oder einfach Ihre möglichen Verluste minimieren. Aus der Cashout-Funktion haben sich verschiedene Wettstrategien entwickelt, die von vielen Kunden in ganz Europa mit großem Interesse genutzt werden.

Meine Erfahrung mit der ersten Einzahlung
Ich habe für euch auch die Einzahlungsmöglichkeiten und die Bonusaktivierung bei Yourbet getestet. Die Seite ist gewohnt übersichtlich aufgebaut und bereitet auch so der Orientierung von Anfängern keine Probleme.

Nachdem ihr euch eingeloggt habt, könntet ihr auf der Startseite in der oberen rechten Ecke des Bildschirms direkt auf den Button “Einzahlen” klicken und eure Ersteinzahlung beginnen. Doch als umsichtiger Spieler achtet ihr natürlich zuerst einmal darauf, was die Bonusbedingungen eures neuen Anbieters so zu sagen haben. Dazu klickt ihr einfach auf das Geschenksymbol neben eurer Kontostandanzeige. Ihr werdet nun direkt zur Bonusübersicht weitergeleitet. Unter der Überschrift Bonuszahlungen könnt ihr nun die möglichen Boni nach Sportwetten und Casino unterteilt sehen. Hier müsst ihr euch für einen bestimmten Bonus entscheiden. Ich wählte den 100% Willkommensbonus für Sport aus. Indem sie auf den Button “Bonus anfordern” klickt schließt sie die Auswahl des Bonus ab. Nun erscheint ein Hinweis und sie müsst eure Bonusauswahl noch einmal bestätigen. In eurer Bonusübersicht in eurem Account sehr ihr nun auf einen Blick noch einmal die Bonusanforderungen zusammengefasst und wisst genau, wieviel Zeit ihr noch habt und wie oft ihr den Bonus umsetzen müsst. Jetzt klickt ihr entweder auf den Button “Einzahlen” oder sie klickt auf den bereits erwähnten Button auf der Startseite.

Im Bereich “Finanzen” werden euch dann die verschiedenen Einzahlungsmöglichkeiten angezeigt. Anhand der bunten Icons seht ihr, dass euch nicht allzu viele Zahlungsmethoden zur Verfügung stehen. Als bekanntere Zahlungsanbieter ist die Einzahlung mittels Kreditkartenzahlung und auch via ecoPayz möglich. Weitere Methoden sind CashtoCode, Jeton oder MuchBetter. Eine eher magere Auswahl. Ich wählte die Einzahlung mit meiner Kreditkarte in Höhe von 30 Euro aus. Mit einem Klick auf das Icon des Zahlungsanbieters erscheint unterhalb der Anbieter-Kacheln ein Kästchen, das mit “Amount” überschrieben ist. Ihr gebt hier euren Wunschbetrag ein und klickt auf “Absenden”.

Nun erscheint ein Hinweisfeld mit der Frage, ob sie die Zahlung in der eingegebenen Höhe wirklich durchführen will. Nachdem ihr eure Einzahlung bestätigt habt, werdet ihr auf eine Zahlungsseite weitergeleitet, hier müsst ihr nun weitere Details eurer Zahlung eingeben.

Danach wird sie zu eurem Zahlungsanbieter weitergeleitet und müsst hier die notwendigen Kontodaten eingeben, um die Transaktion zu verifizieren. Euer Guthaben wird euch unmittelbar auf dem Konto gutgeschrieben. Eine Bearbeitungszeit müsst ihr dabei nicht abwarten.

Das Geld wird euch allerdings vollständig als Bonus gutgeschrieben, also sowohl euer Echtgeld als auch dieselbe Summe noch einmal oben drauf als Bonus. Ich habe auch mit meiner Einzahlung von 30 Euro insgesamt ein Bonusguthaben von 60 Euro erhalten. Allerdings, wie gesagt, kein “normales” Guthaben.

Insgesamt lief sowohl die Bonusauswahl als auch die Einzahlung sehr schnell und einfach ab. Die Seite von Yourbet ist mit einem intuitiven Aufbau versehen, der euch vor keine Probleme stellen sollte.

Withdrawals

Withdrawals at Yourbet are only possible via ecoPayz, Jeton or credit card. Be aware of this, because traditional withdrawal methods, such as a bank transfer, are simply not possible at Yourbet. Upon my own request, the customer service confirmed that they will add additional payment methods to their portfolio in the future, but that these will exclusively be modern and cost-saving alternatives. You can withdraw a maximum of 5,000 euros per week, which corresponds to a monthly withdrawal limit of 20,000 euros.

Before a withdrawal is possible, you must first complete the KYC procedure and verify your account. Yourbet has arranged the verification procedure in a comparatively simple way. In your customer account, you can upload your desired document for the verification of your account in your profile under the item “Documents” and deliver it to the trained staff. You can upload one of the following documents to verify your data:

Bank receipt
Identity card
Passport
Driver’s license
Proof of bank transfer
Proof of address
The upload of the copy is done in no time at all and normally you should receive a response from customer service within 24 to 48 hours after submitting your document. In most cases everything will be confirmed correctly, but random checks are possible. To avoid any delays in your withdrawal, I would recommend verifying your account ahead of time.

Reputation & Security

As a customer of a sportsbook, you should not worry about your security or the disclosure of your personal data at any time. Under no circumstances should you make any compromises and always make sure that it is a reputable company. According to my impressions and experiences, Yourbet is a reputable sports betting provider that meets all important criteria and guarantees your personal safety.

The company behind Yourbet is InterMesh N.V., formerly known as Lucky Game N.V. The company is based in Curacao, which is why Yourbet operates with a gambling license from the gambling authority on Curacao. Although some sports betting providers are now operating with a gambling license from Curacao, there are still doubts about the quality and security of this license. However, if you take a look at Curacao’s jurisdiction, you will see that the island state is subject to the jurisdiction of the Netherlands and thus complies with current EU regulations. Your safety is therefore ensured thanks to the gambling license. Additionally, InterMesh N.V. cooperates with the Irish company Essential Corporation LP, which is subject to the laws of the Republic of Ireland.

Thanks to the requirements of the Gaming Commission on Curacao, Yourbet must be able to guarantee you some security standards. One standard is an SSL encryption technology, which secures the data transmission between you and the servers of Yourbet. All transmitted data is therefore encrypted and cannot be viewed by third parties. Furthermore, Yourbet assures you that your personal data will not be passed on to any other companies for advertising purposes.

I find it somewhat negative that Yourbet does not immediately link to known organizations on its homepage, which offer anonymous help for gambling addiction. In order to find more detailed information, you have to look in the footnotes on your own. In addition to the well-known names GambleAware, GamStop, GamBloc and Gamble Therapy, the Gambling Outpatient Clinic of the TU Dresden is also mentioned there. If you want to take your own responsible gambling measures in advance, you can set your own limits in the customer account. These limits include the classic deposit limits, betting limits, as well as loss limits. You can set your limits on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.

Service & Support

Often, when evaluating a sports betting provider, one feature is either completely disregarded or ranked behind things like a high welcome bonus. This is a serious and reliable service and support. Every one of us knows it and has been in a situation where you simply don’t know what to do. Whether it’s a delayed withdrawal, a complicated verification procedure or simply a simple question about the wagering requirements that you can’t find an answer to quickly. Is Yourbet equipped with a good customer service. If so, is it available around the clock and what restrictions do customers from Germany have to fear?

To say it in advance, yes, the customer service of Yourbet is first class. In my Yourbet experience report, I have extensively tested all contact options with various concerns and am fully satisfied with the results. The best possible contact option from my point of view is the live chat, which you can reach via the yellow support/chat button at the bottom of the website. German-speaking employees are available around the clock, even if some patience is required late at night and on weekends.

Furthermore, the customer support is also available via e-mail. To do this, simply enter your name, email address and message in the predefined form. After you have sent the message to the customer support, it should not take longer than 24 hours until you receive a competent and factual answer from a German-speaking employee. My Yourbet experience is really excellent. All inquiries were answered well below the specified processing time and absolutely factually. However, if the processing time seems too long, you can also take a look at the FAQs. In the FAQs, Yourbet collects the most frequently asked questions and answers them specifically with case studies and gives you direct assistance.

Finally, it is not really surprising to note that Yourbet does not currently offer a German landline number as a service phone. According to the customer service, they are working on expanding their capacities, but German customers still have to fall back on the English service hotline.

Functions & Design

Visually, Yourbet is clearly different from many other bookmakers. And from my point of view, that’s a good thing. Because if there was a development to be observed in the past years, it was that most sports betting providers chose a similar look and an almost identical design. Hardly any differences could be found. What distinguishes the look and design of Yourbet? What differences are noticeable and how user-friendly are the loading times?

No question, at first you will certainly be struck by the somewhat cluttered start page of the bookmaker. Here it is quite obvious that Yourbet wanted to pack as much as possible onto its website and thus keep it as compact as possible. A bit much at first, but after a few days you will learn to appreciate the compactness. Yourbet’s design is more similar to Asian or Eastern European bookmakers, but it still manages to bring a certain structure to the website. On the right side, the complete betting offer is displayed, including the search bar, while the individual bets are displayed in the middle and the betting slip on the left side.

The design is rather classic, if not a bit old-fashioned. Especially the live bets have to be described that way, unfortunately. No lengthy familiarization phase will help you there either, you will definitely miss a better overview and layout here. Everything seems a little too overwhelming and especially as a newcomer you will find here without question some problems to find your desired bets. Especially under time pressure.

The Yourbet website is available in seven different languages. In addition to German, the website can also be accessed in English, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian, Finnish and Mexican. Especially the availability in Russian and Ukrainian gives you an idea that the layout and design has been adapted to some of the most popular betting providers in Russia and Eastern Europe.

Other Offers

Yourbet may be known to you mainly as a sports betting provider, but in addition to sports betting, they also offer their own Yourbet Casino. Of course, I also had a look around the Yourbet Casino and will now share my impressions. Is the Yourbet Casino worth a visit?

Casino
Here I can already give the answer at the beginning – yes, a visit to the Yourbet Casino is worthwhile. The Yourbet Casino is a rather unknown name, but if you take a closer look at the scope of games and the welcome bonus of up to 1,000 euros, you will slowly be able to guess that this is more than just a nice change.

In order to be able to offer as many different games as possible in the casino, the company has used more than 15 different and partly also leading providers of the scene. Names like Net Entertainment, Betsoft or Play’n Go can be found at Yourbet, which is of course great news for you and promises high gaming quality! In total, the number of classic slots amounts to more than 550, a number that some traditional online casinos currently cannot match. Varied gaming sessions should therefore be ensured. Of course, you also benefit from the first-class providers. Security risks, abrupt game crashes or delayed loading times will therefore not be a companion at Yourbet Casino. In addition to the classic slots, you will also be able to use at least 10 jackpot games and maximize your winnings even with small stakes.

In addition to the regular range of casino games, you will also be able to occupy many tables in the Yourbet Live Casino. You can select the Yourbet Live Casino at the top of the website and you will immediately be taken to the lobby. From here, you can access all the traditional card and table games, such as blackjack, roulette or baccarat, and their lobbies. In order for you to find enough gaming fun and suitable table limits – depending on your betting behavior or your budget – Yourbet Casino has selected enough tables with different betting and winning limits. Beginners are thus separated from normal casino players and high rollers. This not only keeps the gaming fun high within the different player groups, but also ensures that Yourbet Casino has good visitor numbers around the clock on all days of the week.

Basically, I am absolutely satisfied with Yourbet Casino and must honestly admit that I have spent a bit more time in the casino than I had initially suspected. Not only does the selection of games appeal to me, but the deposit bonus of up to 1,000 euros is simply too tempting not to make your first experience in an online casino. In my view, an ideal complement to the sports betting offered!
