Sportbet Casino Review

Review of Sportbet Casino

Based in Costa Rica and part of the reputable 5Dimes Group, Sportbet Online Casino incorporates the excitement of sports betting and online casino gaming. They offer a variety of bonuses and promotions in both their online casino and sport betting options, and offer games developed by Digital Gaming Solutions and Real Time Gaming in their casino.

Games and Sports Betting

Sportbet offers an unusual structure for their online casino operations. They actually offer several different casinos via the one site - the Grand Casino featuring RTG games, Bonus Casino and Match Play Casino with a different set of games developed by DGS, and a Live Dealer Casino. The difference between the casinos also extends to the types of promotions that may be claimed, and some of the games have different payout settings depending on which casino you play in.

Sportbet's online casino offers several table games and more. Some examples of these games are Blackjack, Baccarat, Craps, Roulette, a variety of slots and Video Pokers. All of these games are also available at Sportbet's free casino which is available in a flash version. Both the free version and the paid version have games developed by Digital Gaming Solutions, and feature decent graphics and sound quality, although it must be said that they are not outstanding in this day and age. The overall selection of games is smaller than what you would normally see at a dedicated online casino.

However with the recent addition of Sportbet's Grand Casino, it now offers a dedicated online casino option with a full suite of RTG games. RTG casinos are best known for their slot machines so as you would expect there is an extensive range to pick from here. This includes several progressive jackpots which could see you take home a six or seven figure win.

The interesting thing is that depending on which casino you pick (the Bonus Casino being the best), Sportbet have improved payout ratios with just about the best odds you can get for playing casino games online. For example, roulette in the Bonus Casino pays 36.62x on a single winning number, as opposed to the standard 35x, and there are many variations of blackjack available featuring player-friendly rules such as late surrender.

Sportbet also offers betting options on almost any sports available in the world, including NASCAR, basketball, hockey, boxing, tennis, football, baseball, horses, and golf.

Deposit, Withdrawals and Customer Service

You can use your credit card for your deposits to the casino, or use other deposit options including Neteller, and Moneybookers. Withdrawals are handled daily, although fees are charged even on e-wallet services like Neteller and Moneybooker. There are certain times of the week where they will process free withdrawals, but you are entitled to only 1 free withdrawal per month.

Sportbet is an interesting proposition mainly for U.S. based players. Their "Bonus Casino" has some of the best odds you will find for casino games online, and if table games aren't your cup of tea then you can play RTG games in the Grand Casino. Sportbet has a history of paying players promptly and without fuss, however the withdrawal fees are a little disappointing. All in all, it is well worth a look for Americans who like to bet on sports and dabble in a bit of casino action on the side.
