Overview
With the might of the world’s biggest online poker site, PokerStars, behind it BetStars is a name to watch out for in the UK online sports betting market.
Launched in late 2015, BetStars offers a full range of sports and betting markets, a slick website, companion apps for iOS and Android phones, and the same top-notch customer care we’ve come to expect from its sister brand. That’s without even getting to the incredible bonuses and promotions on offer.
Software / Graphics
Developed by the UK-based sportsbook software developers, Amelco, the BetStars site is all business, with the focus on making it as easy as possible to find your desired betting market.
It may not be the most visually exciting betting site we’ve ever seen, but it’s clean, reliable and enables you to get the job done with minimal fuss.
Even better, with apps available for iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets, you can place your bets at any time, even if you can’t get to a computer.
Bonus and Promotions
Keep your eyes peeled, BetStars are always coming up with new and exciting bonuses and promotions.
All new customers at BetStars will be tempted by their 2 x £10 FREE bets. Just deposit and Bet £10 and they’ll reward you with 2 more.
On top of this, there are regular promotions and enhanced offers to keep you coming back for more and more.
Markets, Odds, Cashouts, Special Features
Whatever sport you want to bet on, you’ll have no trouble finding your preferred betting market, with thousands available on a daily basis. Everything’s covered, from big draws like the English Premier League to niche sports from around the world, such as speedway, futsal and even eSports.
There’s no best odds guarantee, but with so many promotions on offer, from money-back specials to free bets, you’ll have no trouble having a flutter at very favourable odds.
In-Play Betting is offered on a wider range of sports than many other online sports betting sites, and you can even find interesting betting markets on more obscure sports such as beach volleyball.
Cashouts are available pretty widely too, both pre-event and live. You simply click on the ‘Cash Out’ button on your betting slip (where the amount you will receive is displayed) and your funds are returned to your account immediately.
Deposit / Withdrawal
You won’t have any trouble getting up and running with BetStars. There’s a huge range of deposit methods on offer, including VISA and MasterCard, Maestro, and numerous e-wallet options, such as Neteller, PayPal, paysafecard and Skrill. You can also pay using an Entropay prepaid VISA or MasterCard.
You can also withdraw via direct bank transfer, wire transfer or cheque.
BetStars promises to process withdrawals within 72 hours, with most withdrawals usually being processed within the first 24 hours. You can expect to receive funds between 1 and 10 days from your request, depending on your withdrawal method.
It’s also worth noting that in the interests of player protection BetStars strictly segregates player account funds from its operating funds.
Customer Support
PokerStars built its industry-leading position on the back of a total commitment to excellence in customer care. In this regard BetStars is no different, which bodes well for its future success.
You can reach the customer support team 24 hours a day, seven days a week via email or contact support form.
You can also request live support from the Deposit Assistance Department, in multiple languages, if you have any issues depositing money onto the site.
