About EGB.com

eSports betting is now a proper global phenomenon, with the biggest tournaments having a viewership count that’s rivaled only by the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics. As placing bets on games like DOTA and CS:GO became the norm, sites that specialize in non-traditional sports became more abundant. EGB.com is one such site and they have quite the following in this rapidly growing niche.

However, we don’t believe they’re on par even with eSports sections from traditional bookies, let alone eSports-specialized bookmakers. Their ideas might be sound, but the execution most definitely isn’t.

While we avoid using superlatives in our bookmaker reviews, there’s no doubt that EGB.com is in the running for the title of the worst-designed sportsbook. Such a claim might seem too harsh, but we weren’t able to come up with a more suitable conclusion. The website as a whole looks more like a personal blog than a bookmaker’s online presence. While the addition of a chat window and sections such as News and Marketplace stems from noble intentions, the result is a confusing UI that’s known to distract and make navigation a proper hassle.

Amidst all the flaws we’ve noticed, we were hoping that EGB.com at least has the right format for displaying all the different markets and games they claim to offer. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case. Even though you can bet on matches that other eSports bookmakers don’t offer, finding them is not that easy. For some reason, all the events are placed closely together, with text and other content that should make them discernable being so small that we didn’t even want to bother after a certain amount of time.

Yes, there are numerous filter options, but it’s not that easy to use them to find what you’re looking for. We always appreciate bookmakers trying to make things easier for bettors that use their site, but it seems like many design solutions implemented by EGB.com were just poorly executed.

Payments are, surprisingly, the flagship section of this bookmaker. With WeChat Pay, Paysafecard, Wirecard, MasterCard, VISA, Neteller, and countless other niche options, you’ll face no problems with transactions whatsoever. Oh, and there are also 14 different cryptocurrencies to choose from. It’s good to see that EGB.com is making improvements.

As for customer support, it seems like the EGB.com team is on the lower end of the pay scale, as they’re noticeably unmotivated and lethargic, especially when tackling more complex issues. Response times are not bad, though.

Sports and Betting Odds

Multiple eSports are available on the EGB.com website for users to bet on. Betting odds at EGB.com are competitive overall. Soccer betting margin is 5.2%, tennis betting margin is 7.5%, ice hockey betting margin is 7.6%, basketball with 5.6% and so on. The overall betting margin is 6.5%. These betting margins have been calculated using odds from different events in each sport. Please note that margins may be different from a sport to another, and even from a league to other.

Betting Features

EGB.com’s markets section is really two worlds in one. While many of the best tournaments are excellently covered in terms of market depth, you will find that this is the case with only a select few events. In most cases, we were able to see only basic ‘who will win the match/map’ markets, which can’t be considered a satisfactory offer by any means.

Security and Fairness

Yes, we know that a license in Curacao isn’t the best stamp of quality, but it at least shows that EGB is doing things by the book. Aside from licensing information (no. 8048/JAZ2017-018), we aren’t aware of any extra security measures they may be implementing. Thus, there is no way to guarantee the safety of EGB.com.
