Who is SportsNation?

SportNation has a fairly similar marketing scheme and philosophy to many other popular online betting sites. SportsNation is designed to create a fun, unique and attractive gaming experience for all users. Likewise, SportsNation aims to become a go-to betting site for online gaming and gambling. This is further expressed through SportsNation’s extensive number of guest experts who are involved in SportNation’s studio.

Design

SportNation has a fairly familiar design to classic betting sites such as Coral, Ladbrokes and 888 sport. The design is easy to navigate and extremely user-friendly, allowing the site to be used from a number of devices for the ultimate user experience! Previously, SportsNation was originally known as Bet on Brazil, since then the site was renamed and provided with a whole new makeover, bringing in more customers and providing a unique gambling experience.

Mobile Betting

Despite there currently being no app available for SportNation, SportsNation does a very good job of creating a similar experience to the desktop version. All information and gaming options are familiar and located in almost the exact layout and location as the desktop experience. We can most likely expect a well-designed app in the future for an even better experience. For now, though, SportNation has done a brilliant job on making the site mobile friendly.

User experience

As mentioned previously, the layout of SportsNation is simple, easy to navigate and extremely user-friendly. When choosing a sport to place a bet on these can be located down the left- hand sidebar, with the most popular sports listed at the top left of the screen for ease of access. The use of live betting is available, like many other sites and can also be accessed through the home page to allow you to dive into the action quickly!

Bookmaker odds and prices

Due to SportNation being relatively new to the online gambling and gaming world, there currently are very limited comparisons available for odds provided. There does, however, appear to be some good offers and odds available on both there horse racing and football markets.

These odds are subject to change frequently, however, odds for both these sports listed above are generally better than competitors, making them worth keeping an eye on. Be wary of betting directly before a game or event as odds are more often than not likely to change rapidly, often offering either really good odds and specials or slashed odds for certain events and or markets.

Live-betting

Although live-betting on SportNation may not appear as obvious as other top betting sites, the essentials are still available to allow for the best user experience possible. We choose to see this as a positive, therefore, meaning the live streaming page is less content heavy and much easier to navigate, perfect for live streaming and placing live-bets with much less confusion. This is especially useful for if you are live streaming the event with a slow internet connection or from a mobile device, with less to load and a clear interface, live-betting could never be easier.

Casino

Similarly to many other online betting sites, SportNation also offer a casino. Options within the casino are not unique to the site, regular options such as live casino, roulette, table games, video poker, and blackjack are all available. Alongside this, SportNation also offers a wide variety of different games, there most popular currently being Narcos, with other popular options being lightning roulette, starburst, and American Roulette with 26 others to choose from.

Much like other sites, there are many different promotions available for use in the casino, just like regular online betting. For example, regular free casino tokens and money are up for grabs, sweepstakes to be entered and many free spins to be used on the slots. As always, the more you use the casino the greater the number of free promotions you will receive. We recommend making use of both sports bets and the casino for the best experience, granting access to further deals and promotions across the board.

Virtuals

Unlike many other rival betting sites, Sportsnation offers bets on different virtual sports. There are currently three different virtual sport markets available, these include football, horse racing and greyhounds. Bets for each of these are the same as their respective live sports. For instance, football is win/loss/draw, horse racing is based on backing a winner also with an each way option, similarly to greyhound racing.

It is to be expected, along with many other online sites to see the inclusion of a wide variety of different sports into the virtual gambling world. This allows for a more extensive list of betting options available, especially useful for when there are not many events going on within a given sport. For example, after the football season is over there is very little to bet on if you’re a football fan. The inclusion of virtual football opens up an entirely new market with many different betting options made available.

Free bets and sports promotions

The current welcome offer means new customers can claim a bet £10 get £30 free bet offer, provided customers place their £10 bet an minimum odds of 1.8.

SportNation support & Banking

Like many online betting sites, SportNation provided a dedicated support team which can be reached via live chat or through email. The average response time for live chat concerns and queries is 3 minutes, faster than many competitors.

In terms of banking, there are no hidden fees included within cash out. Requirements to cash out simply require you to have over £10 in your online wallet.

How does it compare to its competitors?

SportNation has a familiar design to many other sites. With SportsNation still being fairly new to the online gambling world, it is very difficult to draw conclusions as to which sites are offering the best odds on a number of different markets. We can, however, say that SportsNation do offer great odds on sports such as horse racing and football as mentioned previously and occasionally on other sports. Odds are frequently changing and just as good if not better on a wide variety of different sports and markets against their competitors.

Conclusion

SportNation is definitely an obvious choice of betting site, especially for newcomers to the online gambling and gaming scene. Notwithstanding the layout being a little clustered, everything is easily accessible with especially good odds available in both football and horse racing, two of the most popular sports.
