About Planet of Bets

Planet of Bets has worked hard to build a strong international clientele. Since its inception in 2008, this bookmaker has expanded onto several sports betting markets with great success. Even though they have made visible improvements in the last decade, there are too many flaws for us to be able to recommend them as a viable location for your next betting slip. Despite our initial shock at some features or lack thereof, we wanted to go even deeper and see how far Planet of Bets intends to go with their incompetence. The result is, quite frankly, surprising.

Just as a precaution, we doubled checked the dates on our phones just to make sure we didn’t accidentally time travel to 2004. What is this site design? It’s reminiscent of the nascent phase of online sports betting, which is catastrophic when you realize that we’re two decades into the 21st century. Such outdated animations, styles and HTML are in no way or shape acceptable for any bookmaker today, regardless of how modest their ambitions might be.

If Planet of Bets wants to be anything else than an afterthought in the gaming industry, they need to step up their game in this department. There is just too much wasted space and no obvious goal for most of the design solutions we’ve seen here. However, we like the fact that you can just move your mouse sideways to visit sections for specific sports.

Customer support is so bad that we honestly wouldn’t notice if it didn’t exist. There is no 24/7 support and all that you’re left with is communication via either phone, contact form or email. Responses are slow to arrive and contain very little useful information. In this day and age, being always there for your bettors is a must. It’s also sad to see that Planet of Bets completely disregarded live chat as an option.

The first truly great thing we’ve encountered is the brand’s payment options roster. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ripple and Litecoin make up for a formidable team of cryptos. If you prioritize convenience and anonymity then there just might be a slim chance that Planet of Bets isn’t completely useless after all.

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

Don’t be fooled by the limited number of sports offered. If you’re not put off by the horrendous English throughout the site, then you’ll definitely enjoy the amazing depth of this bookmaker’s football section. You have a chance to experiment with various lesser-known leagues and competitions, which is useful only if you’re in the mood to try something new. The odds and special bet offers, however, are nothing to die for.

Security and Fairness

Licensed by the governments of Curaçao and the British Virgin Islands, Planetofbets.com is definitely verified. It’s also known that they use SSL encryption to shield customer information from external threats, so at least something is going right for them. We’ve found no fair gaming bodies that Planet of Bets is a member of, adding yet another concern to an already overflowing list.
