About Fonbet

It’s no secret that the current sports betting market is mainly overrun with brands from the 2010s. This makes perfect sense when you consider the fact that bettors are easily drawn by innovation and unorthodox features. However, we shouldn’t disregard the importance of stability and a long sports betting heritage. Fonbet embodies these two qualities perfectly and lets their 26 years’ worth of experience do the talking. But are they fit to compete with the young guns? Should you choose them as your next bookmaker? Our goal today is to answer these questions and elaborate on everything you need to know about this “ancient” bookie.

The moment you enter Fonbet’s site, you can see that they’re not a newer brand. While the UI is up to modern standards, it’s surprisingly average. One good aspect of it is the soothing effects of the NCS shade of blue. It’s a beautiful choice in an industry dominated either by overly bright white backgrounds or overly bland black ones. Other than that, everything seems like it’s from 2008. The website loads relatively slower than what you’d expect and the fonts, content placement, and visual elements all remind of LiveScore’s website layout from the late 2000s. The overall design is just not memorable enough for most people.

We were also disappointed to find the in-play betting section in a chaotic state. There aren’t clearly defined categories, so you’re left with 50+ markets all crammed one on top of the other. The search bar at the top of the homepage somewhat makes up for this unconvincing execution, but it’s still not something that might be attractive to more serious bettors. Fonbet needs better ideas, mainly something they can make into a trademark of their own.

When it comes to the payments section, it’s clear that this was their focus all along. You’ll find a collection of all the most popular platforms, with many of them offering instant withdrawals. Credit card transactions are painstakingly slow, but that’s not such a big issue when you consider the fact that there is a plethora of alternatives.

As for customer support, it’s simply fantastic. Live chat support is active 24/7 and is manned by highly skilled agents. Can we just take a moment to talk about the automated phone service? Instead of all Fonbet employees doing everything, you can press a number to access one of the five departments: registration, account balance, deposits, supports & suggestions, and site access. Brilliant.

Betting Features

Fonbet really talks the talk while walking the walk. Their odds are comparatively higher than most bookmakers you’ll encounter. The choice of sports is amazing, and can even rival some of the industry’s most notable names. Both beginners and pros can have ample amounts of fun creating slips.

Security and Fairness

It really does seem that Curacao is the most popular license provider in all of sports betting. Even though it doesn’t have the same reputation as, let’s say, Malta or the UK, it still gets the job done. However, Fonbet could do a slightly better job with elaborating the nature of their security systems.
