Betano Review 2024

Betano has been slowly building its reputation as one of the best betting sites in Europe and Latin America since launching in 2013, and is now available in the UK.

Although owned by Kaizen Gaming, Betano UK is operated by BV Gaming Limited, the company behind BetVictor, Parimatch and talksportBET, and there are striking similarities between Betano and those other online bookmakers.

That's no bad thing because, as a result, the Betano site is easy to navigate and will feel very familiar to those who have wagered with BV Gaming's other brands in the past.

Football takes up a lot of real estate on Betano, but that should come as no surprise.

Since launching, they've pushed their football credentials and currently have partnerships with some European football heavyweights including Aston Villa, Porto, Sporting Lisbon and Olympiacos. They were also the official betting partner of Euro 2024 and Copa America 2024. 

But there is more to Betano than just football as we explore one of the best new betting sites to have recently hit the UK market.

Betano Sign up Offer 

Betano is currently offering new bettors a £10 free bet for creating an account.

To unlock the bonus, you’ll need to deposit via debit card or Apple Pay and make a tenner bet on any sport at odds of at least Evens (2.0).

Win or lose, you’ll unlock £10 in free bets to use on a sports market of your choice. It’s worth noting that this offer is only available for 72 hours after you open an account. 

While welcome offers are great, this one is slightly less generous than what you’ll find elsewhere. 

It also expires quicker than most offers I’ve seen around. However, a free bet is a free bet, and you aren't restricted on where you can wager it with Betano.

Betano Promotions For Existing Customers

Most bookies use welcome offers to attract new punters, but there are also perks for bettors who already have accounts - and Betano is no different. 

I found there to be more than enough perks to keep Betano account holders entertained. From odds boosts to early payouts, there’s something to suit most sports bettors. 

Betano Football Promotions

Given their desire to be considered among the best football betting sites, I was pleased to see a good range of football promotions.

There’s an acca boost that offers punters the chance to increase their winnings by up to 70%.

You’ll be paid a bonus percentage on top of all winning accas with four or more selections. To unlock the top boost of 70%, you’ll need 15 selections in your bet. 

I also liked the early payout offer. If your team goes two goals ahead in any game, your bet will be paid as a winner, regardless of the final score. 

Football punters who are feeling lucky can use the site’s Lucky Dip option. This offers boosted odds on a randomly selected bet. 

Betano Horse Racing Promotions

The promotions for existing bettors at Betano are not just for football fans. Horse racing punters can unlock a number of perks on races from the UK and Ireland. 

The acca boost bonus offers payout increases of up to 70%. Once you have four or more selections in your racing acca, you’ll be eligible for boosts. 

I also noticed some individual racing odds boosts, with the prices on individual runners and multiples for that day's meetings enhanced significantly.

What's unique about Betano as horse racing betting sites go is the ability to increase the odds of your selection by adding in how big of a margin they'll win by. 

So, if you think a horse can destroy the field, you can boost his price to win by backing him to win the race by five lengths or more with Betano.

There’s also a racing Lucky Dip feature that will boost odds on a randomly selected horse. 

More Betano Sports Betting Offers

Betano offers odds boosts on a number of sporting events, including tennis, golf, combat sports, rugby, NFL and basketball.

There’s also an early payout offer in place on basketball, hockey, tennis and several other sports. 

In-Play Betting Options & Features

The in-play betting section at Betano acts as a one-stop shop for following and betting on live events. 

There were 17 sports available to bet on in-play at the time of writing this Betano review, and each one had dozens of markets to choose from. 

I particularly liked how quick the updates came through to the live centre. There are also helpful statistics and form guides showing how each team has performed in recent weeks, and more importantly, how they’ve done against each other. 

It's clear a lot of thought has gone into Betano as far as live betting sites are concerned, and I liked how easy it was to follow big events and bet on them at the same time. 

However, I found it somewhat disappointing that their live streaming schedule only contains horse racing events and doesn't compete with some of the best live streaming sites. 

Bet Builder

Betano have a bet builder tool which is easy to find from the home page. 

Punters have plenty of choice when assembling their bet builders, with over 30 markets on offer for high profile football matches. 

Each bet builder can have up to 30 legs. It’s worth noting that each bet builder is seen as one single bet, so if one leg loses, the whole bet loses. 

I did notice that bet builders could only be placed on football and basketball games, while Betano don't offer the feature on as many football games as some other bet builder sites.

Depositing & Withdrawing at Betano

Betano App Mobile Betting Review

Betano’s handy mobile betting app comes with all of the same perks and features as the desktop version of the site. 

The Betano app is available on Android and iOS and is well-regarded among bettors who use betting apps. It has a rating of 4.6/5 on both the Apple App Store and Google Store.

I found a few comments praising the app for its in-play betting live centre. Others were impressed with how quickly withdrawals made through the app were processed, although some noted the app isn't as good as it once was following a series of updates.
