New Betting Sites for 2020

1) Fansbet

Whenever you consider joining a new betting site, like FansBet, it’s important to look into the features of the service. Do they work for you? Let’s take a look!

Sports and Markets

Firstly, it didn’t take long for us to realise that this was a strong option for sports betting. Naturally, football is right at the top and they boast 110 different leagues and tournaments. For those who don’t like to bet on football, we also found popular markets in tennis, basketball, and ice hockey. If you like to bet on eSports, this is another fantastic area with Overwatch, Dota 2, Rainbow Six, League of Legends, and more.

Betting Features

Having access to great markets is pointless if the website itself doesn’t offer good betting features, but this isn’t a problem with FansBet. We enjoyed the live betting experience, and the ‘Fast Markets’ tab allows players to place bets on popular markets within seconds. After clicking on a fixture, you’ll see all sorts of real-time statistics to help with your betting decision.

Unfortunately, there’s no live streaming. If the website is to progress in the coming months and years, this could be a feature to explore. On the other hand, we liked that accumulators can have 20 selections while the multiple bets include Lucky 15, Yankee, Super Heinz, and Goliath.

Website

Over the years, we’ve seen plenty of cluttered betting websites. Therefore, we were relieved to find the minimalistic design of the FansBet service. They’ve chosen light text on a dark background, and it lends itself to a positive and stress-free experience. With the sidebar, most players should move around the website easily enough and it also offers the standard tiered display with the betting slip on the right. Powered by SBTech, we have no concerns over the future of the website, navigation, or functionality.

Banking Methods

As the name suggests, FansBet place a heavy emphasis on the players. While this is clear to see with many features, we were disappointed by the banking options. When depositing, we had to use either Visa or MasterCard. At a time where a significant portion of players are choosing an eWallet, to not even have the option of PayPal, Skrill, or Neteller is disappointing. The minimum deposit is £10 while you’ll need £20 in your account to consider withdrawing.

Customer Support and Security

In terms of customer support, it’s good and bad. You’ll have access to 24/7 live chat, but there’s no phone line. Although we tested the live chat system and it worked well, we know that some players will want a phone number to actually speak to a member of the FansBet team. Even when we emailed, the response was slow.

Of course, FansBet has a UK Gambling Commission license to operate in the UK. Also, we like the SSL data encryption since this keeps user data safe. FansBet also have responsible gambling measures including self-exclusion, deposit limits, and betting limits.

Conclusion

If you can overlook the drawbacks, FansBet do have a good platform with a sleek website and plenty of markets.

2) 888sport
