LeoVegas Sports Review

LeoVegas Summary

LeoVegas Features

• Highly trusted brand
• Wide range of sports & markets
• Competitive Odds

The company is licensed in both the UK and Malta to serve worldwide customers, and the site is available in several languages for ease of use. In fact, LeoVegas has always prided itself on putting it’s customers first, and that comes across loud and clear in the very intuitive website and mobile designs. There’s a modern and fun aspect to site, which is a world away from some of the more stuffy corporate-type sites out there.

None of that matters though if it doesn’t live up to our demands for a wide choice of betting markets, competitive odds, and exemplary customer service. Thankfully, LeoVegas ticks most boxes, and it’s definitely a bookmaker you ought to consider opening an account with. Here’s our verdict on this very new bookmaker.

Web Design & Mobile Betting

The original casino site was established by two online gambling veterans – Gustaf Hagman and Robin Ramm-Ericson – and it was set up primarily to tackle the online mobile casino market. It quickly became a big player in that market, picking up a host of innovation awards in its first few years. All of that expertise has now been ploughed into the bookmaker, and its clear they have found a winning combination.

The mobile site and desktop site follow an almost identical format, making it easy to switch between the two. The layout is crisp, sharp and colourful, and more importantly very intuitive. It’s easy to find the sport, the market and the bet you’re looking for, without clicking through various different pages. True to the LeoVegas ethos, it’s all designed to make the user experience better and put customers at the heart of things.

The mobile site is fully optimised for mobile display, and works beautifully on iPhone and iPad, Windows phones and Android systems via the web browser. What’s more, the site is available in English, Swedish, Finnish, German, Norwegian and Dutch.

Sports Markets

Of course, a brilliant mobile site is worthless without a quality selection of sports and betting markets, and LeoVegas doesn’t fall down on that point either. They use software from one of the leading bookmaker platform specialists, Kambi Group, who also work with several other huge online sports betting sites such as 888Sport and Unibet.

There are well over 30 different sports to bet on at the site, with the obvious choices of football, horse racing and motorsports, joined by more unique markets such as chess, politics, yachting and trotting. There’s just about everything in-between too, so there’s no shortage of wagering opportunities.

Market depth is also very good, with coverage of leagues and events from all over the world. A quick look at the latest English Premier League games reveals over 200 different markets on each match, so you’ll struggle not to find the bet you’re looking for.

The advantage of partnering with Kambi means that LeoVegas odds are competitive with the major bookmakers. While Kambi manages the compiling of odds and the in-play markets, LeoVegas can concentrate on providing the best user experience for punters.

Customer Care & Banking

A site that claims to be about putting customer first can’t afford to scrimp on customer service, and LeoVegas is committed to providing great support. They are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by phone, email or chat. In addition there’s a very comprehensive FAQ section on the site which answers most questions.

There’s little to complain about in terms of service, but banking could be a touch better. It’s very good in general as there are no fees for depositing or withdrawing, and limits on both are high. However, some methods of withdrawal can take up to 3 working days, and that’s a slight disappointment in this day and age. Many bookmakers offer 24 hour withdrawals at most, with some processing them within hours, so there is room for improvement. Having said that, 3 days is the maximum, and as they aim to process withdrawals as quickly as possible, there is a fair chance that funds will be returned to you quicker.

Promotions

Leo Vegas Sports offers a number of promotions. However, these are subject to change and have a number of terms and conditions attached. Right now, you can score extra winnings when you join the sports section.

We also think that if you’re into online casino games to any degree, you should consider getting the welcome offer on this portion of the site. UK players can get no deposit free spins before moving on to a welcome offer containing a cash offer and wager-free spins.

The SBO View

Overall we have to rate this bookie highly, especially for mobile players. The design is specifically optimised for tablet and mobile players, and that provides a much better user experience. LeoVegas has hit the right spot in terms of sports, markets and odds, while the back-up of a thriving casino site gives us confidence that service and reliability are top notch. The profit boost bonus is another innovation, and we’d encourage anyone to open an account and add this to your list of favourite betting sites.
