JackBit Sports launched in 2022 and has been among the most popular NZ betting sites ever since.
The bookie is owned by Ryker BV, the name behind online bookies and casinos such as Campeonbet, FortuneJack and Wazbee Casino.
Licensed in Curacao, JackBit offers a fresh and exciting take on bonuses and promotions for bettors.
It has competitive odds, across multiple markets, on over 30 different sports, including rugby, cricket, soccer, eSports, combat sports and much more.
JackBit has a unique design and feel which is only enhanced when you see the way they do bonus bets (more on that later) but I did really get an exciting feel from the site.
The JackBit Sports sign up offer is a little more unconventional than the welcome bonuses I’m used to seeing.
The bookie’s ‘100% No Risk Sports Bonus’ offers punters a safety net when they sign up and place their first bet.
To qualify for the offer, all you need to do is join JackBit and make a qualifying bet of $20 or more at odds of at least 1.4.
If your bet wins, you’ll be paid as normal, but if it loses, you’ll receive your stake back as a free bet, up to a maximum of $100.
Simply put, I like this offer. It’s easy to understand and doesn’t come with any wagering requirements or bonus codes.
JackBit covers all angles when it comes to rugby betting. There are over 41 markets across rugby union and rugby league, with some of the most competitive odds you're likely to find on rugby betting sites.
To find them, simply scroll to the rugby tab at the top of the homepage. The most popular leagues to bet on are Super Rugby, NRL, NPC Premiership, the English Premiership and the France Top 14.
When it comes to rugby betting promotions, punters can use various offers to give them a head start.
First of all, there is bet insurance on all rugby accumulators with four or more selections. If one leg of your bet loses, you’ll receive your stake back as a free bet.
There's an extensive cricket betting section at JackBit and as you would expect for one of the top cricket betting sites, every format and competition is covered.
You’ll find odds on all manner of T20, ODI and Test matches, as well as a solid futures betting section.
Cricket bettors can use the bet insurance perk on their accas too. However, it’s worth noting that each selection must be at odds of at least 1.4 and the maximum you can receive in free bets is $100.
Returning cricket punters can also unlock a free bet every time they place three qualifying bets. The bets must be made over the course of a week and be at odds of at least 1.4.
There are no specific horse racing promotions, which, as far as new betting sites trying to make their mark goes, I found to be quite disappointing.
While there was no mention of best odds guaranteed, or enhanced prices, the other promotions mentioned above can be used on horse racing.
From acca insurance to weekly free bets, horse racing punters will find something to help them hit the ground running.
I’m hoping JackBit can improve their horse betting options in the near future.
There is no detailed breakdown of betting offers across other sports at JackBit.
However, fans of golf, soccer, Aussie Rules, boxing and tennis betting can use all offers mentioned above.

I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the live betting section at JackBit. For such a new site, the in-play betting area really is quite extensive.
When I last checked in a midweek evening, there were multiple events across over a dozen different sports, including soccer, basketball, tennis, volleyball, table tennis, darts and eSports.
Each event had several betting markets and the odds were competitive when I compared them with other online betting sites.
I also liked the betting live stream available across most big sports, along with the neat display centres providing rolling updates as the action happened.
Same-Game Multi bets, known as bet builders on JackBit, are hugely popular with punters. To get your bet on, toggle to the match up you’re looking for and click the Bet Builder tab.
From there, you’ll be presented with over 50 different markets that you can use to tailor your own same-game multi.
The tool is easy to use, and there is a handy ‘most popular’ section to help you quickly find selections.
You can add a total of 30 legs to your bet builder. It’s worth noting that all these legs count as a single bet, so they all must win for you to be paid. When I last checked, bet builders were available on soccer, basketball and rugby.

Using your phone is the most popular, and convenient, way to place sports bets. With this in mind, JackBit Sports has a slick mobile site that is handy to use while on the go.
It has all the bells and whistles that the desktop version has, but it’s streamlined to fit on your smartphone or tablet.
There’s no dedicated JackBit betting app, however, this isn’t a problem as the mobile site works so well, and doesn’t take up any space on your phone like a lot of NZ betting apps.

Customer support is so important for online sports bettors. It’s essential for punters to be able to bet, safe in the knowledge that there’s a competent help team available if they need it.
You can reach out to JackBit customer care 24/7 via live chat or email.
I contacted the support team via live chat and received a response within minutes. And while my email was answered in a few hours from a friendly agent, I prefer live chat purely for speed purposes.
All in all, the support options available at JackBit are more than enough to offer reassurance to all types of sports bettors.

Responsible gambling is the single most important thing at any online betting site. Gambling should always be fun, and you should never bet more than you can afford to lose.
I’m happy to report that JackBit do a good job reinforcing that message, and there are a number of tools in place to help players stay in control of their gambling.
These include deposit limits, session limits, self exclusion and account closure. For more information on the options available, reach out to the support team.

I really enjoyed my experience exploring JackBit Sports. I spent time and money using the site and getting to know its best and worst features.
After testing every aspect of it, I would strongly recommend it as a fun place for sports fans to bet.
It has some generous welcome offers for new bettors and regular promotions and perks for returning punters.
On top of that, the live betting section is one of the best you’ll come across, and you can even watch the action unfold as you bet on it.
Add in the 24/7 customer support, and JackBit quickly becomes a a worth edition to the growing list of NZ betting sites.
JackBit does offer UFC betting NZ and boxing betting with markets on fights from across the globe and competitive odds. However, those seeking WWE betting will need to look elsewhere.
JackBit is one of several new betting sites that does allow you to fund your account via cryptocurrency. They accept a large number of cryptocurrencies, while they will also accept payments made using more traditional methods, like bank cards and e-wallets.
Yes. Any reputable NZ betting site should be licensed and regulated by a recognised authority. In this case, JackBit is licensed by the Curacao gaming authority. This ensures the bookmaker operates legally, adheres to strict standards, and provides a secure environment for betting.
JackBit have a well-designed betting site, offering easy navigation, quick loading times, and intuitive bet placement. Features like in-play betting, live streaming, and fast cash-outs enhance user-friendliness, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable betting experience across devices. They don't have a dedicated betting app, but the mobile version of the site works very well.
Existing customers can take advantage of a handful of offers on JackBit, including a free bet scheme and multi bet insurance. We hope in time JackBit add more offers and promotions to compete with rival NZ betting sites, particularly in and around major sporting events
