About XBet.ag

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of trying out MyBookie.ag, you will be pleased to find out that this bookmaker has a sister-brand in XBet.ag. Both sportsbooks share the same management and even opted to use the same skin for both of their websites. While some may see this as blatant copying, we believe that such a move makes the whole experience much more ‘cozy’ for the bettor.

Make no mistake, as XBet.ag is not quite MyBookie’s twin. In this XBet review, we will look beyond the aesthetic and see if this is the right choice for American sports betting aficionados. We believe the answer is yes, but it’s up to you to weigh your options.

Even though the skin is akin to that of MyBookies, this sportsbook is much simpler to navigate. Everything is bigger and the overall layout is more comfortable. Each section is clearly highlighted, allowing you to find whatever it is you’re looking for. We’ve even tested the site with a few volunteers who aren’t adept at using betting sites. Each tester stated that the site is very easy to use, which lead us to conclude that this is a great option for beginners.

Even though the UI as a whole is very smooth, the loading times have us worried. XBet evidently needs to switch hosting companies, as it is unacceptable to wait several seconds for a page to load. This is even more perplexing once you realize that there isn’t much visual content, which is known as the main culprit behind sportsbook slowness. Apps for both Android and iOS, on the other hand, are the personification of speed. Easy to use, amazingly design, and, most importantly - they get the job done.

Honestly, the payments section is a mess. Bitcoin is always a sight for sore eyes, but it’s not nearly enough to offset the absence of PayPal, Neteller, and Skrill. Both deposit and withdrawal options are very limited, which greatly hinders the overall experience. We’ve also noticed that our payments arrived 2-3 days late, despite XBet claiming that 48 hours is the maximum waiting time. What gives?

By far the most pleasant part of the XBet as a whole is their customer service. Live chat correspondence is smooth and agents are quick to notice whether you’re a beginner or a veteran. We’ve ‘impersonated’ both experience levels and got answers that fit our supposed knowledge of the game. 24/7 availability is a big plus, too.

Betting Features

For a US-oriented bookmaker, XBet has a lot of soccer markets available. Hockey props are also abundant, which is rarely seen unless we’re talking about Canadian, Scandinavian, or Russian betting sites. The odds could be a little better, but, overall, we’ve experienced no problems whatsoever.

Security and Fairness

The Government of Curacao is the licensor for this particular sportsbook. Even though it’s not a strong license compared to some others, it’s still enough for us to believe XBet.ag is 100% safe for all players. However, it’s easy to notice a lack of explanations pertaining to their security protocols. Transparency is a thing, you guys.
