BetMaster Casino Review

BetMaster Casino and Sports Book, or BetMaster.io as it’s often known, is a top gambling destination that launched back in 2015. It has a major iGaming brand behind it and works hard to provide a safe and secure gaming environment for its growing base of players.

In this BetMaster review, we’ll highlight the site’s payment methods, games, bonuses, and customer support features. 5+ years is a long time in the iGaming industry. The question is, has BetMaster used that time to grow into a competitive and high-quality casino or are you better off spending your time and money elsewhere?

Basics

BetMaster is run by a company known as Reinvent Ltd, which is based in Cyprus and licensed in Curacao. If that name sounds family, it’s probably because this is the same operator behind the wonderful Casinoin which, incidentally, also uses the “.io” domain.

For the sake of clarity (and because it was one of the first questions we had when we reviewed Casinoin) the .io domain is the top-level domain of the British Indian Ocean Territory. This region consists of over 1,000 islands, but most inhabitants are military personnel. As with many other top-level domains, it has nothing to do with the company’s location and everything to do with the fact that the domain just looked good.

In fact, the “IO” is a common abbreviation in technology and it’s also short and catchy, making it the perfect fit.

Software

Sports books and casinos are very hit and miss when it comes to the layout and the aesthetics.

Some of them try to do too much and end up looking cluttered and messy, something that MELbet has been accused of in the past (although, in our opinion MELbet is fantastic and we have nothing but praise for it). And then there are those that go the other way, creating something that is overly simple and dull or something that was clearly developed for mobiles and without a thought for desktop players.

Thankfully, BetMaster doesn’t have this issue. It sits firmly in the middle of these two—the Goldilocks zone. It is colourful, but not excessive; feature rich, but not over the top. And this is true for the sports book as well as the casino. We’re very impressed with the way that everything looks and feels and it’s clear that the developers have spent a lot of time crafting the perfect site.

It is colourful, but not excessive; feature rich, but not over the top.

There are a few minor issues, including the odd use of English, which gives you the impression that the site was created using Google Translate. We don’t remember experiencing this issue on Casinoin, but it’s one of the few niggling issues that we have with the layout of BetMaster.

BetMaster is compatible with mobile and there are apps for iOS and Android. You can find these in the respective App Stores or download them directly from the BetMaster website.

Games

BetMaster has never stopped adding titles to its roster and it currently has a massive 4,400 for you to choose from! We have covered some massive online casinos since we first launched Coinbuzz and some of those have gone all-out when it comes to gaming selections, including Wild Tornado. However, we’re not sure that we’ve ever seen anything this big or impressive.

Of those 4,400+ titles, over 4,000 are real money slot machines and these are provided by developers like Betsoft, Blueprint Gaming, Red Rake Gaming, Playtech, NetEnt, Microgaming, Thunderkick, Spinomenal, and Wazdan, to name just a few.

You can browse top titles like Wild West Gold, Valley of the Gods, Dawn of the Druids, Book of Atem, Sun of Egypt, and many more. Use the “Provider” filter in the top-right to narrow your search down. Alongside each developer, you’ll see the total number of available games, including more than 800 from Microgaming, 100 from NetEnt, 100 from Pragmatic Play, and 80 from Yggdrasil Gaming.

If it’s table games that you’re looking for, just use the menu options on the left side of the screen. Alongside slots, you’ll see options for:

• Jackpots: Games that have massive fixed jackpots and progressive jackpots, including a few popular Betsoft titles (A Night in Paris, Chili Quest, Charms and Clovers).
• Roulette: A selection of colourful and varied Roulette games, including ones that adopt classic French, European, and American roulettes. Unique variants like Double Jackpot Roulette and 3D Roulette can also be found here.
• Blackjack: Games of VIP, Lucky Sevens, Classic, and Multihand Blackjack are available here, along with several other variants. There were more than 40 different variations when we compiled this review. However, despite the fact that the site lists Microgaming and Playtech as developers, we were surprised and disappointed to see that Blackjack Switch and Double Xposure Blackjack were not included.
• Poker: This is where you will find the largest selection of a single table game, but only because all video poker titles are included alongside casino variations like Three Card Poker.
• Baccarat: A little over a dozen variations of Punto Banco Baccarat.
• Instant Games: A few Roulette and Blackjack games, as well as virtual scratch cards and other instant win titles. Simplicity is the aim of the game here and many of these titles give you a chance to win big.
• Sic Bo: A dice game that is often overlooked but has been explored in full at BetMaster, with 17 different variants.

Sports

Although our main goal is to discuss online casinos, we can’t overlook BetMaster’s sports book and virtual sports, both of which allow you to bet on a multitude of markets every single day. The virtual sports side of things took off during 2020, when many real sports were suspended, and BetMaster is a great example of why these worked so well.

Players can take a punt on everything from greyhound racing to motor racing and football. All games are simulated in full and bets can be made prior to their commencement. As for the real deal, the BetMaster sports book spans dozens of sports across hundreds of markets, and players can bet pregame and in-play.

As you would expect, football markets are the most populated but we noticed a surprising amount of coverage for ice hockey, handball, table tennis, and other sports that are often overlooked.

Bonuses

We expected a lot from this online casino as it seemed to be ticking all of our boxes. In doing so, we expected to encounter an issue, and that’s exactly what happened. It’s not a huge one, but it will be a stumbling block nonetheless.

That issue comes in the form of the BetMaster Welcome Bonus, which is limited to just $300 as a 100% matched bonus. This comes with 40 Free Spins as well, which are spread over 4 weeks. The wagering requirement is fixed at 50x and this includes 100% of slot wagers (except for roughly 0.5% of the casinos’ slots) 10% of Live Casino games and 0% of table games.

It’s not a terrible bonus, but it’s one of the smallest we have covered and that’s a disappointment. We weren’t expecting it to be as generous as 1xBit, but even if it was just two or three times larger, we’d have a table-topping online casino on our hands.

On the plus side, the sports book bonus is fantastic. Usually, these bonuses are limited to small free bets or to a few bucks offered as a matched deposit bonus, but at BetMaster, you can collect up to $250 along with free bets. Of course, you can’t get the casino bonus and the sports book bonus and you have to choose one or the other. If you’re going to be betting and gaming, we recommend opting for the former.

It offers slightly less, but it’s generally much easier to get a return from a sports bet than it is from a gaming session. This way, you can start your membership in style and earn some credits. Once you’ve cleared the playthrough rate, that money can then be withdrawn or used to play casino games or place sports bets.

Payment Options

The minimum deposit at Betmaster is just $10 and you can choose from several different payment methods, including Visa, Interac, Skrill, and a multitude of cryptocurrencies.

In fact, alongside all of the usual options, such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, and Ethereum, you can use lesser-known digital currencies like Monero, Tether, and several others.

All withdrawals are processed fairly quickly, and you should get your money within just a few hours. Of course, it’s a different story if you use a slower method like debit, credit, or wire transfer, but for cryptocurrencies and instant payment methods, everything is more or less immediate.

The same can be said for much of the Betmaster website. It operates as we expect all modern online casinos to operate. You can sign up by adding your email address and a few basic details. Once you confirm that email, some checks will be conducted and you will be verified more or less instantly. We were so impressed and surprised by the speed of this process that we find ourselves looking for the catch.

Did we miss something, are we going to be hit with a passport request or be told that we need to wait a week before we can start betting or withdrawing?

But the catch didn’t come. Everything really was quick and easy, and that ensured we had a fantastic experience all round.

Of course, we only spent two nights at the casino, but it was two nights that included a deposit, a bonus, several sports bets, lots of casino games, and an eventual withdrawal. It was brilliant all round.

And if you’re jealous because it sounds like we got lucky, don’t be. We actually lost most of our money by the time we cleared the wagering requirements. We just wanted to test the withdrawal speed.

Limits

We usually have a massive problem with withdrawal limits, as noted in our review of Rabona Casino and Sports Book. However, that limit was fixed at a measly $500 a day and the BetMaster limit is set at a generous $6,000, extending to $18,000 a week and $36,000 a month.

Your first withdrawal in a 24-hour period is free, but you make an additional withdrawal in that time you will be charged 5%. It makes sense, therefore, to wait for a day. You will also need to leave your withdrawal for 24 hours after your deposit. If that time has not passed, you will only be able to withdraw the amount that you deposited.

We have seen a few reviewers complain about this, but as far as we are concerned, it’s a non-issue. Most casinos and sports books have restrictions on how much you can withdraw after making a deposit. Many will stop you completely for 48 hours. The fact that BetMaster limits you to just 24 and allows you to return your deposit, is great.

Final Word

Everything about Betmaster is brilliant. Or rather, nearly everything is brilliant. We would have loved to see a loyalty scheme reminiscent of the one available at SlotsHeaven, as well as a larger Welcome Bonus. But when you consider how much trouble we’ve had finding a casino that looks great, plays well, has a wide selection of games, and offers a multitude of cryptocurrencies, we’re happy to dismiss those issues and give Betmaster two thumbs up!

We’ve been disappointed recently with some Bitcoin sports books and casinos. Withdrawal limits and the lack of diverse payment options has left us frustrated. However, Betmaster doesn’t have those issues and while it’s not quite the best site that we have reviewed, it probably is one of the best Bitcoin sports book and casino combos that we have seen in a long time.
