Optibet – Overview & Rating

Optibet is a Latvian betting company founded in 2008. Now the company is one of the leaders in its region and, at the time of writing this review, it already has more than 60,000 players.

The Optibet betting company is focused on the Baltic market. The license for accepting bets on the Internet is provided by the Malta Gambling Authority. You can only open your account in euros.

We notice the presence of casinos, sports, live casinos, virtual sports, and many other things at Optibet. There is also a signup bonus offer in the form of a risk-free bet (up to 20 euros). All new customers who have made a bet in the amount of at least 30 euros can participate.

Design and layout of the website

The official website of the Optibet online betting company is made in light colors, with red and white colours to match the color scheme of the brand. It consists of a convenient menu and sorting of games. 

Optibet’s online betting office is available in four languages — Finnish, Russian, Latvian, and English – allowing any player to browse the site with ease. It is worth noting that all the important rules and conditions of Optibet are available in these four languages.

Because there are over 30 software providers featured on the Optibet portal, there is a developer filter as well as a search bar by name. 

At Optibet there are such providers as NetEnt, Play‘n Go.Pragmatic Play, Novomatic, Blueprint, and Habanero are some of the most popular gaming companies. Gamomat, another developer, was recently introduced to the lobby.

Optibet works on all mobile devices, so you can feel the real excitement in any place, wherever you are. All you need is stable internet access. You cannot yet download an Optibet app, but the mobile version in the browser is identical to the desktop version. It works on any smartphone with any operating system — simply open the official website on your phone or tablet’s browser. The adaptable version automatically accepts the screen resolution format, adjusting all the functions.

Services and live

Optibet is a decent wagering site with approximately 2,000 games, including slots, jackpots, table games, live casino, and scratchcards. The sportsbook offers betting in pre-match and live, as well as betting on virtual sports and on a wide range of the usual sports. It also allows players to bet on football, horse races, trotting, tennis, greyhound racing.

Optibet has various categories dedicated to slots. We recommend you look through the section dedicated to seasonal slots, such as Christmas-themed slots. However, this section is not always accessible. Another interesting slot type at Optibet is New, which has all of the most recent releases. Circus Delight by PG Soft is one of the most recent arrivals, with a 96.7 per cent RTP. This bright and colorful slot features cute ringmasters, dancing monkeys, clowns, and other circus-themed symbols. The greatest part is that it was designed just for mobile gaming.

The Optibet offers more than 30 jackpot games, among which player favorites such as Mega Moolah (in many variants), Hall of Gods, Mega Fortune and Divine Fortune. Despite the fact that this library does not have the largest collection of jackpots on the market, it is still a good one with all of the most significant titles as well as some more unique releases. 

In the Optibet sportsbook, there are 16 betting categories accessible. This isn’t the most we’ve seen, but it’ll be enough for beginners and casual bettors due to the range of championships and contests they cover. Football, ice hockey, basketball, and tennis are all popular fixtures, but there are a few surprises, such as badminton.

In terms of esports games available on Optibet, you can find only CS:GO and League of Legends.

You can gamble on singles, multiples, and systems. After you’ve selected your match and wager, it will be put to the right-hand betting slip. Odds are shown in decimals, as is customary with European bookmakers, but you can also see them in fractions or in American style.

Blackjack, poker, baccarat and other card games are available for playing as well.

Live line

To go to the Live Casino section at Optibet, just click on the corresponding tab in the top menu. Optibet offers a great variety of live casino games. Two companies—Evolution Gaming and Authentic Gaming—represent the primary range. This provides a wide range of games for players, including roulettes, blackjack, baccarat, poker and sic-bo.

Optibet’s live casino is powered by Evolution, the industry’s best and most well-known live gaming supplier. Their games are recognized for being of the greatest quality, not only because of the lavish settings but also because of expert dealers that deliver the game to your living room. All live tables are grouped into categories, making it easy to identify your favorites with just a short scan. There are dozens of blackjack,  game shows, poker, roulette and baccarat varieties in the live casino lobby.

Even though this betting section lacks special features such as live streaming, it provides ample opportunity to wager on your favorite sports. We’d like to see the calendar, which is now only available in the pre-match section, transferred to the live betting section for easier access.

Freebies, bonuses and promotions

Optibet currently offers 17  special promotions in various casino games and a sweepstakes section.

Optibet offers risk-free bets for new players. After signing up you can get up to 20 euros of risk-free bets. Also, if you do decide to sign up, the bookie will greet you with 1000 free spins.

Customer service and email support

The support service works efficiently, but not around the clock – customers can ask for help from 08:00 to 20:00 Central European time. You can interact with management via online chat, call +46844680118, or send an email to [email protected]. Writing to the operator in a live chat is the quickest option to get an answer to your question. Based on our personal experience, the Optibet assistants are very helpful. We asked them a few questions on different days and they always answered everything and provided us with further details. We were very satisfied with their service.

If you have any questions when the Optibet support service is not working, you can try to look at the “Help” section. There’s a lot of information there, and it’s organized by topic to make it easier to find the proper answer.

Reliability, Integrity and Safety

Optibet is a reliable company that has been operating in the Baltic market for a long time. It is enough to mention that it has a license from the Malta Gaming Authority. The company also provides you with SSL protection from the largest company Sectigo. Bestbet Limited is Optibet’s operator.

Games from renowned software providers including NetEnt, Microgaming, Push Gaming, Evolution Gaming, EGT, and others can be found in the Optibet lobby.

Since Optibet is committed to responsible gaming, the most important recommendation is to set your own monthly budget. The main principle to follow is to plan your gaming budget so that your overall financial situation does not suffer in the event of a loss. 

What does the site not have?

Optibet does not provide customer care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There are no video broadcasts. We would definitely recommend adding mobile apps. Optibet covers all the most important sections and offers of online casinos, but there could be some additions and improvements everywhere. This may be more attractive casino bonuses, a wider selection of casino games or a more modern website design. However, if you are looking for a safe and high–quality betting company with the most popular games, Optibet will definitely suit you.
