“Bet-at-home: One of the most trusted bookies in Central Europe”

Bet-at-home at its peak was one of the biggest betting companies in Europe. Back in the day (the 2000s) they were competing with Bet365, Bwin and other giants. Bet-at-home is still a well-known bookmaker with 5 million active users mostly from eastern and central Europe. Since 2009 they are part of Betclic Everest Group and probably the biggest online betting operator in Germany.

The international branch of Bet-at-home licensed in Malta. The company also operates in Ireland and the UK through local licenses. In 2019 the bookmaker is celebrating its 20th anniversary since foundation. Through all years of the company’s existence, it has been very active marketing-wise. The bookie had sponsorship deals with Hertha BSC, Schalke04, Red Bull Salzburg. They also had advertisement banners at stadiums during major football tournaments (Euro, World Cup, Europa League, Champions League). The company also once was a title sponsor of ATP and WTA tournaments and remains the most active betting advertiser in winter sports.

When you enter the Bet-at-Home website for the first time, you’d be surprised by its appearance. The 2000s vibes are strong with this site. It’s understandable since the design of the site barely had any changes for the last 10 years. Here you can see once very common things like tiny font, checkboxes, gallery of banners. Despite an outdated look, the website performs fast enough to surf through it. Navigation is quite easy too. On top of that site provides visitors with some useful tools: 1-click bet, live scores, statistics/results sections, search option, and live chat.

The coverage is both big and versatile. Bookmaker offers to punters more than 25 different sports, eSports disciplines and off-sports (politics, society). All categories listed in the A-Z sidebar on the left side of the layout. Bet-at-Home is fancy not only about football and tennis but also about winter sports, eSports, snooker.

The overall depth of markets is satisfying too. For instance, you can bet on more than 70 football leagues. Even ITF tennis and Bolivian basketball league are available. In-match coverage of big-stage matches includes bets on corners, cards, intervals, while goalscorer options mostly absent. Another strong side of Bet-at-Home betting offer is outright selections. You can bet on league champion or tournament winner, top goalscorer, relegated team, MVP winner, World cup winner in winter sports.

The live betting section might be not as massive in terms of quantity of events but is versatile. You can put a wage on some big football match, as well as on beach volleyball or CS: GO event. Also, the In-Play platform is quite functional with match-centers, multiview, combi view, and calendar. Fun fact: by combining 3 or more live bets with 1.50 (or more) odds you can shorten the acceptance time of your coupon.

The odds in Bet-at-Home are surprisingly mediocre as they offer 1,88-1,88 at evens at the big stage. The margin in top-tennis is around 7%, which is quite low too. Average payouts are around 93% mark. Yeah, it could have been worse. But could have been much better as well.

At least the customer support of this bookmaker is all about class. Players can contact the company via e-mail, LiveChat, phone. But in most cases, you’d find needed information in the FAQ section. Available payment methods: VISA, Mastercard, Diners, Skrill, Neteller, paysafecard. The minimum deposit/withdrawal amount is 10 euro. There is an additional fee (2%) for transactions via debit cards.

All in all, Bet-at-home is not a bad choice for recreational bettors. The bookmaker provides clients with good sports coverage and has an easy-to-use site (even if outdated). There is also a 100 euros welcome bonus for new players. The bookie tends to limit accounts. You should be ready to go through verification first if you want to play here. Some unverified players in their Bet-at-Home reviews stated about problems with id-check after big wins.
