About Novibet

The 2010s were a very dynamic decade in the sports betting industry, full of exciting newcomers. One of the best new kids on the block is, without a doubt, Novibet. They’ve seemingly studied the mistakes previously made by their competitors and gradually improved on all fronts. While their efforts are truly admirable, there are still some things to be said about deficiencies that need to be addressed at some point.

Beloved in Greece, this bookmaker became a star amongst bettors who like to experiment with alternative markets. Even though the abundance of covered events is spectacular, Novibet as a whole deserves a closer look.

With Novibet, we encounter yet another iteration of the black-white-red color scheme, with some particularly interesting design solutions. The bulk of the background is taken care of by a dark grey tone, standing in perfect contrast next to the red and white fonts. It’s very simple to navigate the website, as there is no clutter or unnecessary information.

This is honestly one of the more pleasant pages to browse. We were able to find everything we needed without too much effort invested. Most bookies don’t have good enough ideas when it comes to utilizing space on the page, but Novibet covers everything with a comfy layout.

What about that customer service, huh? To be honest, we expected the usual phone-email-live chat trio but ended up being blown away by the quality of customer support at Novibet. In addition to the three aforementioned methods of communication, you can also reach agents via web message and Skype. Due to the abundance of options, we wanted to test each one. No matter the question or the problem at hand, Novibet agents responded politely and provided satisfactory answers. A contender for the best customer service in the industry, most definitely.

We’re kind of torn on the banking section. On one hand, it might seem like the list of payment platforms isn’t expansive enough, but on the other - it’s basically everything you need. Novibet is one of the few bookies to have the privilege of offering PayPal as an option for withdrawals and deposits. The lack of fees is great, but we would like to see much faster processing times.

Betting Features

If you’re expecting odds that will instantly make you rich and revolutionize the way you take punts - you will be disappointed. The odds are relatively rational and on par with the industry average. However, diversity is where Novibet really stands out. You have the opportunity to bet on an impressive 29 sports, with some football events even resulting in 150+ alternative markets. Impressive. We docked a few points because there’s no live streaming, for some reason.

Security and Fairness

Licensing is not an issue for Novibet, as their legitimacy is backed by the respective authorities of the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission (IMGSC) and the Greek Government. There have also been no complaints involving data theft and other dangerous activity. We would say Novibet is completely safe.
