About Codere

In the 2010s, Spain saw a proper renaissance in its sports betting scene. Older brands were beginning to slow down, and a new wave of bookmakers was ready to send the country into the future. Codere is one such bookie. They were founded in 2014 and have gradually improved every time we tested their software and offers.

But do they have what it takes to snatch some market share from GoldenPark and Wanabet? While nothing is given in this volatile market, we have to admit that such an occurrence is a real possibility. Read the rest of our Codere.es review to find out why we have such an opinion.

The theme of Spanish bookmakers opting for unusual color schemes continues, with Codere’s unorthodox take on using colors to entice players and make the site easier to navigate. It’s interesting to see that lime green is only used for the header and three key buttons in the bet builder on the right.

Lime green is, after all, Codere’s signature color. However, it’s not every day that we get to see bookies go easy on the hues and reserve them for special purposes. Blue accents for additional markers and the Register button and a nice feeling of balance to the mix.

And perhaps the best part of the design, the background, is one of the most unique background images we’ve had the pleasure of seeing. Instead of using just white, black, or grey, Codere combines all three colors to form a unique way to make different sections discernable from one another.

If you haven’t tried sports betting before, this is definitely one of the easiest sites to learn the ins and outs on. Mobile apps exist for both iOs and Android, and the software is an ideally modified version of the desktop UI. Clean, fast, and easy to use.

When it comes to banking, Codere is also sticking to the essentials, just like their counterparts. Codere cash cage, MasterCard, VISA, Skrill, Neteller, PayPal, Paysafecard, and bank transfer basically cover 99% of Spanish punters, so there is no need to include additional niche options. Waiting times could be better, but the lack of fees events it out, if you ask us.

Customer support is almost nonexistent, with email correspondence being your only option. If you could get an instant answer 24/7, that would be great, but Codere is obviously living in 2005, for some reason. This is a potential deal-breaker.
