Bet365 Review

Founded originally in 1999, the popular bookmaker Bet365 reached the shores of New Zealand around 2012. Spread across 200 countries, with services available in over 17 languages, this agency claims to have more than 21 million members worldwide. Over the course of its operations, Bet365 has emerged as a recognised brand and a sought-after operator within the New Zealand online gambling community. Although Bet365 hosts both racing and sports betting markets, the company has a razor sharp focus on sports and in-play betting. As a punter interested in a great deal of variety in sporting events and betting limits, Bet365 certainly fits the bill. You can read the following KRUZEY Bet365 review to find out what the site has to offer such as the exclusive bonus offers, limits, markets and much more.

Free Bets & Promotions

Bet365 regularly offers incredible bonuses and promotions for high rollers and casual players alike. Each new gambler who chooses to create a Bet365 account is entitled to a spectacular welcome bonus. The operator will match your first deposit with a bonus that can amount up to $200. This means if you were to deposit $200 into your account, your bankroll would add up to $400. When cashing out, you will be required to roll over the amount at bets placed at odds greater than or equal to 1.50. With a great signup offer such as this one, Bet365 continues to climb the ranks of popularity among players. As a fan of betting on races, you’ll definitely enjoy taking a shot at the “Fixed Win Guarantee”. On all Australian Horse Racing, if a punter selects Fixed Win and the (Victorian Official Price/Australian Prices Network) starting price is greater, you’ll be paid out at whichever odds are greater. Imagine if you were to bet $15 on the Fixed Win and the SP pays $18, you’ll be paid out at $18. Whether you’re enthusiastic about horses, greyhounds or harness, you can always find a promotion that suits your needs. If you’re leaning towards sports, Bet365 has you covered. For instance, soccer fans can enjoy the Each-Way First Goalscorers promotion. This means if your player manages to score at any point in the game, Bet365 will pay you out. Each-Way bets are cleared on all goal scorers at odds of 1/3 for unlimited places, during a 90 minute fixture. For Rugby matches that extend to extra time, your bet remains active and is settled on the final results, thanks to the Extra Time, Extra Chance promotion. All in all, the promotions are top of the line, offering the most possible value on each of your wagers.

Using revolutionary technology and dedicated in-house teams for design and content, Bet365 has produced a state-of-the-art website that is certainly worth visiting more than once. Without a doubt, the website layout at Bet365 is excellent. Instead of leaping for the prevailing HTML format, the website is powered through Flash and is therefore able to provide a variety of interactive functions. We certainly enjoyed the streamlined website during out Bet365 review. Browse through the ever-present sports panel located on the left, however, the subcategories do not expand within the panel. Rather, upon the selection of a particular sport, leagues available can be viewed in the middle column from where punters can choose the leagues they wish to observe. It is possible to view multiple leagues at the same time, effortlessly. Additional the betting market for your chosen fixture can be seen while viewing the odds. A “stats” icon can be clicked to observe statistics and historical data. This feature is a fantastic mine of information that can help punters stay up-to-date.

Input the amount you wish to stake and the net profit for your wager is computed and exhibited straightway. Another helpful feature that we appreciate from Bet365 is the “Betting News” which keeps you updated on all kinds of racing events sports including cricket, football, golf and tennis.
