About 10Bet
The 10Bet site was set up in 2003, when online sports betting was still waiting to truly blossom. Since then, 10Bet has developed as impressively as the sports betting market itself. The site's offerings today are both enjoyable and varied.
You can, for example, use the site to place traditional pre-match bets or bet on live sports with one of the industry’s widest ranges of events. You can also try your hand at some of the best casino games on the net. 10Bet also offers downloadable apps for iOS and Android users. So, how does it all measure up? We decided to investigate thoroughly.
Promotions
If the prospect of regular promotions gets your betting juices flowing when you sign up to a new sports betting site, you’ll certainly be pleased with 10Bet's selection of offers, which is among the best we have seen on any sports betting site.
Whether you want a generous welcome bonus, boosted winnings on doubles and trebles, free bets or betting insurance, you’ll find all these goodies and more listed on 10Bet's promotions page - although, naturally, this page is often updated.
Sports Betting Types and Betting Markets
The choice of sports available for 10Bet users to bet on is broad and in line with what we would expect from a sports betting site of high renown. Football, tennis, horse racing, cricket and golf are some of the mainstream options, but many leftfield tastes are also catered to.
Good examples of sports available at 10Bet which often aren’t present on many other sports bookies' sites, include:
- Bandy
- Beach soccer
- Chess
- Darts
- Floorball
- Futsal
- Gaelic football
- Handball
- Surfing
- Trotting
However, football is the primary focus of 10Bet’s prominently displayed Quick Bets section. The leagues covered here include the Premier League, Europa League, Champions League and Championship with odds on doubles and trebles always on offer.
Betting Coverage
10Bet offers both iOS and Android apps enabling you to bet on the go. While football and horse racing are two of the main sports that app users enjoy betting on, the app also provides many other opportunities.
The markets available on both the 10Bet site and app include over 25,000 live events per month.
Software and Graphics
At the start, 10Bet developed its own sportsbook software - a reflection of the market back in 2003, when there wasn't exactly a massive choice of sportsbook software providers around. However, 10Bet has since outsourced the developments of its mobile site and app software.
The company behind that software is SBTech, which also provides technology to many other big players in the online betting industry. You can expect a solid user experience from SBTech, which often triumphs at the EGR Operator Awards, especially in the in-play betting category.
Indeed, in our experience, the developer's HTML5-based mobile software is both fast and streamlined. You shouldn't expect many hiccups in terms of loading times, provided that your internet connection is strong enough.
This software also integrates seamlessly with the 10Bet site's interface. Both the sportsbook software and the site's overall framework extensively use black with navy blue accents to aesthetically pleasing effect.
Extra Value
10Bet’s mobile app is certainly worth your consideration. It gives you direct access to the entire range of betting options wherever you are, whenever you want them, and offers a smooth and accessible user interface to make betting a breeze.
Loyalty or VIP Programme
The closest to a loyalty scheme that 10Bet offers is something called the Live Free Bet Club, which enables you to pick up free weekly bets on the condition that you make 5 in-play bets of £10 a week.
This would really be best described as an ongoing promotion rather than a VIP programme - without which, 10Bet could be risking losing players to many of its competitors. However, we’d love to see a genuine loyalty scheme offered in the future.
Other Offerings
If you feel like kicking back between sports bets, the 10Bet site also includes ‘Casino’ and ‘Live Casino’ sections. As well as over 400 top slots, the Live Casino offers a broad selection of games, with Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat and more provided by leading studio Evolution Gaming. There’s also the Games tab which allows you to play casino with your sports balance.

Bottom Line
If you are fairly new to the concept of sports betting online, 10Bet is a good site at which to start. Meanwhile, if you have considerable experience of using the internet to bet on sports action, 10Bet is still worth a look; it was, after all, a trailblazer in the online sports betting world.
