About Racebets

Niche bookmakers are becoming rarer and rarer these days, so it’s impressive to Racebets not only holding up, but dominating their market. Founded in 2005 in Germany, they immediately became a major stakeholder in German Racing, which ensured that most profits were funneled directly into horse racing and greyhound racing. If you’re looking to change things up and take a break from traditional sports, Racebets is quite possibly the best choice you can make. However, there is more to this bookmaker than meets the eye and we’re determined to delve into the nitty-gritty.

Yet again, we encounter a sportsbook with an old-school design. However, in the case of Racebets, they’ve managed to add some modern elements to the classic “list is on the left and current races in the middle” layout. The entire website is a mix of white, black, grey and yellow hues, which isn’t meant to be just a treat for the eyes. You can easily find any race or event in a matter of seconds.

While it may seem like a minuscule detail, we absolutely love the fact that there are little flags next to all the countries in the left-side list. Many bookies fail to add this, even though it has been proven that visual orientation is much easier than reading through a wall (or tower, in this case) of text.

Customer service agents are polite and always ask if they can do something else for you, which is not an everyday occurrence in the world of online sportsbooks. Even though there is no 24/7 support, you can reach out for help 9-6 CET on a daily basis, via phone or live chat. If something comes up outside of these hours - no worries! Every email query is resolved in less than 24. Limited, but efficient.

Having PayPal, the most popular payment processing platform, as an option is a big plus for any bookmaker. There is also a number of e-wallets available. However, you might want to check for any fees for your payment option of choice. Minimum deposits vary, but maximum limits don’t exist, aside from Paysafe (£1,000).

Betting Features

If you’re invested in horse racing, there is no better bookie for you. They also offer bets on greyhound races, making them one of the most niche sportsbooks on the market. Nevertheless, their portfolio is as deep as the Marianas Trench, with a myriad of races taking place on multiple continents. They also have partnerships with racing organizations in the UK, which shows that they really know their stuff.

Security and Fairness

There’s a reason why many popular sportsbooks decide to obtain licenses from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) and the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) - they’re the most rock-solid verifications a bookie can get. Racebets is another testament to this fact, which puts them in the highest echelon of bookmakers when it comes to security. As for keeping your data safe, they implement GlobalSign SSL encryption and perform regular security audits to ensure that they are impenetrable by malicious DDoS attacks.
