10Bet Esports Betting Review

Although perhaps not one of the foremost names in the UK sports betting scene, 10Bet was founded back in 2003 with its primary goal to create an online betting site that offers a wide range of sports betting markets, including extensive in play betting for its customers.

Editor’s review

Since its foundation, the company has continued to diversify the sports betting markets it offers and in addition, offers some of its customers around the world the chance to play in an online casino.

One of the key areas for 10Bet in terms of sports betting is its In-Play service, which does dominate the screen when you load the site up. There is also a dedicated Live Betting section at the top of the screen. Locating esports however is simply a case of looking down the list of sports in the left-hand column and finding the esports tab.

You can sort the esports options on 10Bet by the betting types available or the different types of esports competitions that are being contested and for which markets are offered on the site.

10Bet Opening Offer for New Customers

Where 10Bet does score well however is when it comes to the potential value available for new customers through its First Deposit Bonus offer.

All you need to do to get your bonus is:

1. Join the site by opening an account at 10Bet and putting in your details.
2. You then need to make a deposit to your account of at least €20 and when you do, quote the code FD10BET.
3. This then gives you a bonus of 50% of your deposit.
4. You must then play through your initial deposit amount once in order to access the bonus.
5. You must wager your bonus cash six times (on bets of odds of 1.6 or higher on singles, or 1.40 or higher on combo bets) in order to meet the wagering requirement and be able to withdraw the funds.
6. It is important to note that if you make your first deposit with Skrill or Neteller, then you will not be eligible to receive this bonus.

What esports can I bet on?

In truth, the number of esports you can bet on at 10Bet is relatively small. Even on a busy weekend for esports, which saw a host of top events in a wide range of esports, there was only one eSport available on 10Bet, which was League of Legends betting.

Although 10Bet will likely offer esports betting on other major eSports tournaments, such as those based on Dota 2 betting, what is certainly true was that there was not the range of eSports available to bet on with 10Bet as was available at the same time with its competitor sites.

Indeed, it is fair to say that when this review was compiled,  on what was a busy weekend for esports, the number of markets available on 10Bet was disappointing.

With major events taking place in StarCraft and CS2, as well as markets available on other sites on minor tournaments from other esports like World of Tanks, Heroes of the Storm and DOTA 2, it was very disappointing to find just one market available on 10Bet.

What kinds of bet are offered on esports at 10Bet?

One of the positive aspects of the 10Bet site when it comes to how they organise their esports betting markets is that it is easy to see what types of betting are available on them.

There are three key markets listed, although not all of these markets are available for each eSport fixture. They are

• Money Line bets
• Spread Bets
• Over/Under markets.

All esports fixtures shown on 10Bet during the review had Moneyline betting options available, with half having Spread betting. None of the fixtures at the time of the review had Over/Under markets available, though this would likely be an option on other eSports betting markets for different games.

What special features or promotions are offered for esports bettors?

At the moment 10Bet do not offer any special promotions or offers for esports in particular. However, if you are a new player on the 10Bet site, you can take advantage of the signup offer and use this on esports betting if you wish.

Overall

The overall impression you are left with 10Bet’s esports betting service is that they wanted to say they offered esports betting, but unfortunately, the choice of betting available on the site is minimal compared to some of its rivals.

While it is positive to see a range of bets offered for each fixture, the small number of betting markets available means that not all of them are always available – which does diminish the betting options for punters still further.

How do I Deposit or Withdraw cash from 10Bet?

If you wish to make a deposit or withdrawal from your 10Bet account then you can do so in the following ways.

Deposits – You can deposit into your account with 10Bet via Credit Card, Debit Card, Skrill*, PayPal, Neteller*, Bank Transfer, ecoPayz, and Cheque. Deposit methods marked with a * are excluded from the initial promotional offer for new players.

Withdrawals – You can withdraw from your account using the following methods: Credit Card, Debit Card, Skrill*, PayPal, Neteller*, Bank Transfer, ecoPayz, and Cheque. Withdrawal processing times do vary considerably between 1-2 days up to 30 days depending on the method chosen.

What mobile options are available on 10Bet?

Given that its primary focus seems to be In-Play betting, it is unsurprising that 10Bet offers a wide range of support across a whole host of devices for mobile players.
