NetBet

NetBet is one of the first pioneers in the online casino scene. It is time to find out how this 20+ years old gambling senior compares to rivals. Review team, take it from here!

This operator was running an online casino when online casinos were not even a thing. NetBet has been in the mix since 2001 and they were among the first ever licensed internet gaming providers in the world. NetBet has kept up with the competition by updating their platform with the latest technology like payment methods, mobile compatible elements etc.

NetBet Enterprises Ltd is still holding their original gaming license from the Malta Gaming Authority. Players have trusted them for over two decades and they have become a household name in the business. Strong experience is accompanied by juicy welcome offers, high withdrawal limits and daily campaigns.

NetBet Bonus and Free Spins

Even after all these years NetBet is still taking good care of their new and existing customers. There is still room for new players to join and to welcome them, NetBet has come up with a unique bonus offer:

• Double your money up to $200
• Get 10 free spins in authentic Vegas slot!
• Use bonus code: NBWELCOME

For example, if you’d deposit $50, you can start playing with $100 on your balance. On top you’d have 10 free spins in Age of the Gods™ slot, a true fan favourite and a classic game straight from the Strip.

Notable terms and conditions for this offer include a 30x wagering requirement for the bonus before it is released to cash balance. For the winnings from the free spins the wagering requirement is 40x. Players can convert up to $1,000 bonus balance into cash.

NetBet has invested heavily in additional promotions. There is something for every day including reload bonuses, free spins, free bonus money and extra loyalty points.

NetBet Review

We know from experience that it is not an easy task to take a website originally launched near the dot.com bubble and try to force it into the 2020’s. NetBet has done remarkable job in this difficult task as they have managed to keep their platform fairly up-to-date.

Sometimes you do get reminders of their long history as the site might not be among the easiest to navigate. Also the download times are rather sluggish from time to time. But when considering the circumstances, we’d say they have done very well.

Registration process is fast and easy and there were no problems regarding the first deposit. The bonus did trigger automatically but you need to remember to use the right bonus code. It is one of the rare casinos that offers PayPal deposits so they have done well with integrating some new payment technology on to their website.

Mobile

One area where NetBet has put in the much needed hours is their mobile casino. Mobile compatibility is hugely important these days and also one of the hardest areas to update with an old internet page. Therefore NetBet’s fairly agile and easy-to-use mobile-friendly platform is a true achievement.

The whole site is now fully responsive and adapts to users device automatically. On smart phones or tablets there are more accessible tap-menus appearing on the bottom of the screen to increase usability. That is just one example of the latest mobile upgrades NetBet has introduced.

Playing at NetBet

Since the casino has been in operation for over two decades, they have accumulated a big game selection. Different casino games such as slots, live games and table hames take a lion's share of the game lobby - but you will also be able to enjoy poker, Vegas games and lotto.

Plenty of different game providers have found their way to NetBet; including NetEnt, Play’n GO, Pragmatic Play, Push Gaming and Big Time Gaming. Overall the total amount if games rises to 5,000+.

The game lobby does look slightly outdated but it’s still very functional. You’ll have five main categories: casino, live casino, Vegas, lotto and poker - and each of these pages have multiple different sub-categories. Our personal favorite is the ”Last Hour” category where NetBet has listed all the slots other players have enjoyed within the last 60 minutes.

Slots and Jackpot Games

The stars of the show at NetBet are definitely the Vegas games. These slots are exactly what they sound like: games you will find at real brick and mortar casinos in Vegas! But at NetBet you can enjoy them without visiting the Sin City. So if you are looking to into the Vegas atmosphere, check e.g. Playtech’s popular Golden Macaque, Retro Rush or Pantry Plunder.

What really makes our heart sing, is the jackpot selection at NetBet. Lately loads of new casinos have been very stingy with jackpot slots - but we should have known that old school casinos such as NetBet still know what’s important. You can play all the hottest progressive slots from NetEnt and Microgaming. This means that games such as Mega Fortune, Wheel of Wishes and Absolootly Mega Moolah are just one click away.

Live Casino

The live casino at NetBet could be a little bigger. There are around 100 live tables which is slightly below the average. But fear not - there are still exciting live games to try out from Evolution Gaming, Ezugi and Pragmatic Play Live. Whether you are interested in show games, blackjack, roulette or poker, they got you covered.

There is one little thing that bothers us. Instead of the game icons created by the provider, NetBet uses their own standard game icons with images of live dealers. It makes it a bit harder to recognize popular games or separate game providers.

Customer Service

Players can contact the customer support staff at NetBet via email or live chat. The fastest option is to use the live chat but during our test, the customer service agents were offline. It might be due to the time because the live chat does not operate 24/7. But that itself is a cause for criticism since around the clock customer service should be a no-brainer.

• Live chat: opening hours vary
• Email: support@netbet.com
• Phone Support: No

NetBet also has a special help center page where you can search ready-to-use answers to all the most common questions relating to your account, payments, games etc.

Deposits and Withdrawals

NetBet is equipped with a wide range of payment methods. You can start playing with a $10 minimum deposit with services such as PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, MuchBetter, Skrill or Neteller. So there are plenty of options to choose from: including bank transfer but we must warn you that this method has the longest deposit time (up to 5 business days).

All withdrawals are processed between 2-24 hours which is relatively quick. Different payment services have different withdrawal limits per transfer but NetBet has limited monthly payouts to $100,000. This is a very solid amount and much higher than what most competitors have.

Unfortunately we must end this review with a little piece of criticism. All withdrawals that surpass $500 are slapped with a 1,5% fee. This means that e.g. $1,000 deposit would have a $15 fee.
