NetBet Review 2024

NetBet has veteran status among betting sites having arrived on the scene more than 20 years ago. 

Since its launch, it has provided comprehensive casino and sportsbook facilities, and accumulated an impressive customer base.

I went hands-on with NetBet in an attempt to understand exactly what makes it so popular. 

NetBet’s sportsbook is particularly strong, with a great reputation for variety and diversity. One of the first things I noticed when landing on the site was the sleek and contemporary layout and design.

This is evident in the menu layouts, which I found to be clear and easily navigable, as well as the typography, which gives the site an uncluttered feel.

Other areas where NetBet excels include its dedicated mobile app, which has made a significant mark on the mobile betting landscape, and its various attractive new customer offers.

As a fan of bet builders, I was pleased to find that NetBet offers a builder-based welcome bonus, which grants new customers £20 worth of free bets. 

NetBet Sign up Offer

Newcomers to NetBet can currently claim £20 in free bets (credited as two separate £10 free bets for bet builders) in return for depositing and staking just £10.

The qualifying bet must be a bet builder with at least three selections and a minimum combined odds of 3/1 (4.00). It needs to be placed within 7 days of registering and opening the account, which is a fair timeframe. 

As a fan of bet builders in general, I found NetBet’s welcome bonus especially appealing. It’s also an easy one to claim, with no terms that are likely to trip bettors up.

The free bets are credited within 24 hours of placing the qualifying bet, but are only available to use on bet builders. The value of the free bets themselves are not returned in the winnings, but this is to be expected. 

NetBet Promotions For Existing Customers

There’s a fairly good chance that you’ve come across NetBet before. It has been around since 2001, after all. If this is the case, you may already have an account.

However, NetBet doesn’t skimp when it comes to promos for those punters who have already complete the NetBet sign-up offer. I found NetBet’s ongoing promotions to be more generous than those of many other sites.

NetBet Football Promotions

Football bettors are known to enjoy an accumulator, and NetBet is offering acca boosts that can enhance a punter's winnings by up to 50%. 

While some accumulator betting sites require punters to place bets with many legs, NetBet boosts the winnings of accas with just three legs. Also, the minimum odds for each leg is just 1.30. 

The more selections you make, the bigger the boost, with 14 legs or more being required for the full 50% boost to your winnings. 

Another promo aimed at footie fans is the £5,000 Correct Score Predictor. This one challenges you to correctly guess the outcomes of a selection of four matches. 

If you get all four right, you can win up to £5k in cash with no strings attached. There are also £5 and £20 free bets awarded to those who guess two or three scores correctly. 

It costs nothing to get involved with the £5,000 Correct Score Predictor. You just need to have placed a real money bet any time since 2022.

Yet another bonus for football bettors is the fact that NetBet will pay out early when your team gets into a two-goal lead. The bet will be considered a winner, regardless of the final score.

More NetBet Sports Betting Offers

NetBet ranks pretty highly want stacked up against rival football betting sites, but leaves a bit to be desired when it comes to other sports.

NetBet does offer the Wheel of Sportune mini game, which can be played for free once per day. 

The only qualifier is that you’ll need to have placed a real money bet of £5 or more in the receding four days. 

Punters can spin the wheel for a shot at winning a free bet worth between £1 and £20, and you can come back to play every day.

These free bets come with very few restrictions, and can be placed on any market you choose.

In-Play Betting Options & Features

When landing on NetBet’s sportsbook for the first time, it quickly becomes clear that this is a live betting-focused site. 

There are three tabs that correspond to live betting; ‘In-Play’, ‘Highlights’ and ‘Upcoming’. Within the In-Play tab, top sporting events are listed alongside their current odds, which change in real time and are marked with helpful green and red indicators. 

An additional, unique feature that shows how committed NetBet is to in-play gambling is the notifications window. 

The notifications window pops up at the bottom of the screen with constant updates about ongoing events and information about how these apply to open markets. 

I’ve explored my share of live betting sites, and I think this notifications window is something that a lot of other operators could learn from. 

If NetBet has an area of weakness, I’d say it’s the lack of live streaming. Betting sites with live streaming are far more attractive and hopefully they’ll add a live streaming function at some point in the future.

NetBet is one of the betting sites with cash out, allowing punters to cash in both single and accumulator bets. This means that you can lock in a profit if you get off to a lucky start, or minimise losses if things aren’t going your way. 

Bet Builder

For anyone who doesn’t know, a bet builder enables punters to create a custom bet consisting of multiple selections from within the same game. 

NetBet knows the value of a bet builder. Not only does it offer a robust bet building mechanic, but it even gears a number of its promos towards bet builders. 

For example, the current new customer welcome offer grants two £10 free bets to use on bet builders. 

There's also the option of pre-made bet builders referred to as ‘Bet Builder Quick Bets’. These combo bets can be viewed under the Highlights tab.

NetBet’s bet builder tool is also really easy to use. Punters can simply toggle the mechanic on or off whilst browsing the markets within any event. 

NetBet only lets you add six selections to a bet builder and it's only available on a handful of sports, but it's still up there with the best bet builder sites that I’ve encountered.

Depositing and Withdrawing at NetBet

NetBet Mobile Betting Review

NetBet has a fully functional mobile browser version of its site available, as well as a dedicated betting app. Giving bettors the choice is always the best solution, and both are well designed.

The clean design of the desktop site scales down to a small screen nicely, so bettors won’t feel like they’re adjusting to a whole new interface each time they switch between platforms. 

The app functions well too, giving bettors access to the full NetBet sportsbook and an interface that is as user-friendly as the desktop site. 

Like the best betting apps, NetBet’s app is comprehensive and largely faultless.
