About Leonbets

Leon Bets is owned by Leon Gaming Limited and has been providing sports betting services to players since 2007. Their biggest following is probably in Eastern Europe, where many veteran bettors trust them with thousands of euros each month. Somewhat unconventional branding and unorthodox solutions definitely make them stand out in a crowd.

Nevertheless, there are some things they can work on before we are able to crown them as a top-tier bookmaker. In this review, we’ll break down the advantages and drawbacks of one of Europe’s most popular sports betting brands.

In terms of design, one crucial factor in grading a bookmaker is adaptability depending on the platform. What does this mean? Well, every sports betting website needs to be usable on phones, tablets and PCs. All the features have to be there and you shouldn’t be required to waste time because of the design team’s laziness. Leon Bets, by all means, checks this box with flying colors. The narrow interface of the desktop version uses a black background to prevent ocular strain and highlight the content. It looks great on the mobile browser and app versions, too.

We always say that the black-white-red color scheme is overused, but Leon Bets avoids a cliché approach by minimizing their branding. Not everything is in these colors, the logos are infrequently displayed and they’re small. Nice job of focusing on the user experience instead of brand presence. Turquoise, light green and yellow offset the white perfectly and let you focus on all the markets. Modern, exciting, but also kind of timeless. We like it.

Customer service is, unfortunately, a gargantuan letdown. There is no live chat or phone support and email communication is iffy at best. Agents obviously aren’t trained to address problems in a quick and efficient manner, which is evident by the long response times. If they wish to expand into other regions of the world, they need to work on this.

It’s really disappointing to see the lack of variety in the payments section. You can use Visa, MasterCard, Skrill, PaySafeCard, Webmoney, Neteller, Ukash and Click2Pay. It’s not bad by any means, but it’s still limited when compared to the upper echelon of online bookmakers.

The overall betting margin is 6.7%. 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

Leon Bets is relatively average in the sportsbook department. What concerns us is the fact that there are just 16 sports available. Niche coverage is decent at best, even though you can rely on this bookie to get you through the most popular events. Odds are on par with the industry average, but we’ve also seen a couple of places where they were even worse.

Security and Fairness

While it is concerning that Leon Bets isn’t a member of any prominent fair gaming body, their portfolio as a whole is not too shabby. They are licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission (KGC) and secured by COMODO. As for data protection, it’s known that Leon Bets uses 128-bit SSL encryption to shield all transactions and account info from hackers and data breaches of all sorts.
