About JokerBet

In recent years, the Spanish sports betting market has seen a proper revival. Brands such as Wanabet and GoldenPark have raised the standard drastically, causing other bookmakers to take notice. Founded in 2014, JokerBrand is one such site. They had a pretty shaky beginning but were eventually able to come to their senses and provide better service.

Even though they are highly regarded by Spanish punters, JokerBet is not quite on par with the region’s best. It’s an indubitably good site, but there is just no way they can compete with the mainstays. If you don’t mind some of the flaws, then you’re in for an enjoyable experience, all in all.

It seems that most Spanish sportsbooks have a hard time determining which visual direction they want exactly. JokerBet is just one more example of a UI containing a myriad of different ideas and influences. Don’t get us wrong, we enjoyed navigating the site during the testing period, but there was an apparent lack of cohesiveness between the elements.

Most of the site is black and white, which makes the absence of a dedicated dark mode even more perplexing than it would be in a vacuum. At times, the background is just too bright and distracting. We don’t quite get it - why are betting sites so reluctant to make their UIs easier on the eyes?

However, we do like some of the stuff they did with presenting markets. Every game has a bunch of little brackets underneath it, showing all the most popular markets. There are also visual representations for most football fixtures, including a mini-pitch with action indicators.

Something we absolutely hated was the loud sound that gets played whenever a goal is scored or a card is given to a player. We understand that this is a method to keep players engaged, but for the love of God, why does it have to be so loud by default? It’s the little details that prevent JokerBet from getting the highest marks in our review.

Their banking section is pretty lackluster, to be honest. JokerCash is a cool concept, but it’s just not enough to make up for the lack of eWallets such as PayPal or Skrill. Bank transfers and cards are always nice to see, but this isn’t 2005 and we shouldn’t laud JokerBet for being below average in this department.

Perhaps the best part of the site is the customer support team, which is comprised of skilled agents that are always willing to go the extra mile. Email and live chat are currently the only available options. Frankly, who needs a phone line anymore?

Live streaming has become more frequent, but we would like to see more matches, not just the occasional La Liga clash. Odds are around the industry average, so value betting is a legitimate option.

Security and Fairness

As all bookmakers that target mainly Spanish punters, JoketBet is licensed by the country’s General Directorate for the Regulation of Gambling. Not only does this license provide players with protection in case of a dispute, but bookies also flaunt it as the foremost seal of approval one can get.
