About Betworld

The 2010s saw perhaps the biggest number of new bookies enter the scene, ever. In the midst of this influx of new brands, it became hard for each individual brand to distinguish itself from the competition. Betworld is one example of this practice, as they did a lot of little things to stand out and position themselves as a primetime option.

While no bookmaker is perfect, Betworld has managed to come close to that moniker in certain areas, all without the backing of financially potent investors. Read the rest of our Betworld review if you wish to find out whether they’re the right fit for you or not. You might be surprised.

In terms of sportsbook design, light blue is one of the riskiest colors. Why exactly? Well, because of its presence on the lighter end of the spectrum, it can be a bad fit with other common colors, such as white or yellow. Somehow, Betworld managed to choose just the right hue and utilize it as the basis of the whole color scheme.

The background is multicolored, mainly in gradients of blue, sprinkled with white geometric shapes. If you ask us, it’s a great take on an often disregarded part of the UI. It’s unique and goes well with all of the content displayed on each section of the site. Everything you see on the homepage is tidy, with literally no multimedia content other than the occasional announcement for a highly-anticipated fixture.

The tables and brackets that house the markets are very well-design and stand out. Every color was used in the right place, which resulted in a high degree of visual harmony. If you’re a heavy hitter and like to spend lots of time preparing your slips, BetWorld has the UI to please your aesthetics-related demands.

When we got the banking section, we were, honestly, a bit disappointed. It seems like the bookie didn’t want to invest a lot of effort into creating a proper roster of payment platforms. The only available options are VISA, MasterCard, Skrill, Neteller, ecoPayz, Betworld voucher, and Neosurf. And we also couldn’t help but cringe at the sight of seeing ‘Choose payin [sic] method’ when we opened the section. Yikes.

Customer support is very limited, but Betworld makes use of the contact form concept better than many other sports betting brands. We usually got a response in ~12 hours. It’s disappointing to see that it’s the only available option. Not a great look.
