BetStorm Review

A flurry of white-label operators have launched in the UK market over recent years and it’s sometimes hard to separate the wheat from the chaff (trust us, there’s plenty of chaff about). BetStorm is one of the better efforts but there are still a few sticking points with it that mean it gets a good-but-not-great rating from us.

Why Bet With BetStorm

👍 Huge selection of markets

⚽ Amazing football coverage

🎁 Decent existing customer promos

🎮 Good esports selection

What we like most about BetStorm is the impressive depth of markets available for both pre-match and in-play betting. The decision for the BetStorm bosses to trust industry giants BtoBet with supplying its sportsbook product looks to be a good one.

There are thousands of sports markets open for betting at BetStorm.

A lot of the new UK sports betting sites fall short on existing customer betting offers and promotions, but BetStorm is not one of them. There’s cashback available on major sports including football and tennis, as well as other cash prize promotions for regular punters.

Another thing we like about this site is the solid range of payment methods available - including PayPal.

Customer support is solid enough. If you can’t find the answer to your query in the extensive FAQ section, then live chat is available and the BetStorm team is also reachable via email.

On days when the sports calendar is looking thin, BetStorm punters can simply switch over to the BetStorm casino where the offering includes slots, live casino, jackpot games, and more.

A £10 free bet is available for all new UK punters who register with BetStorm and bet at least a tenner.

2. Deposit and place bets to the value of £10.
3. Your £10 free bet will be automatically credited to your account.

While almost all major sports other than horse racing (and plenty of minor ones) receive excellent coverage at BetStorm, the real star of the show is football.

The main reason we BetStorm truly is a strong option for any UK footy punter is the volume of markets available. At the time of writing on a Tuesday morning, there are dozens of matches open for in-play betting from competitions all over the world, plus literally thousands of games for betting on pre-match.

Once you’ve selected a match, the options are also fantastic.

Major clashes in elite competitions regularly have upwards of 500 different markets available to bet on pre-match.

Even matches in smaller competitions almost always have at least 150 different options.

Asian handicap markets, card markets (including booking points bets), and corners markets are key football betting options and BetStorm offers all of these. For big matches you can even wager on more than a dozen different goal kicks markets (handicap, totals, result) plus offsides, tackles and saves.

BetStorm: Betting on Other Sports

As we mentioned above, the options aside from football are plentiful. Major sports like tennis and basketball are well-covered, as are esports and an impressive list of minor sports including gaelic football, kabaddi, rally, and floorball.

Like at the overwhelming majority of online betting sites these days, cash out is available on selected markets at BetStorm.

The biggest disappointment for UK punters at BetStorm will be the extremely thin coverage of horse racing. It’s a shame that there are so few options available at BetStorm for wagering on the second-most bet on sport in the UK. If you’re a racing punter, BetStorm is not for you.

For lots of new betting sites in the UK market, betting offers and promotions seem to either have been an afterthought or completely forgotten altogether.

The existing customer betting promotions at BetStorm are far from the same quality as at established operators like Paddy Power and Ladbrokes, but they are certainly better than a lot of other white label sites.

Cashback deals are available for punters on key sports like football, tennis and basketball, and there are cash prizes to be won on other promotions like ‘Wager Wars’, which rewards regular players.

BetStorm unfortunately does not offer a dedicated app to UK punters at the time of writing. That’s a shame given that most online sports bets in the UK are placed via a mobile device and a dedicated app is undoubtedly the best platform to use for this.

That said, the BetStorm site is responsive on mobile devices and performs perfectly well navigating in and around markets and, most importantly, when placing bets.

UK punters can choose from a great range of different methods for depositing at BetStorm:

• Visa
• MasterCard
• Maestro
• PayPal
• PayviaPhone
• Paysafecard
• Trustly
  
• MuchBetter
• ecoPayz

There’s no phone support at BetStorm and the Twitter account seems to only post scheduled promotional tweets, so you probably won’t find any help there.

However, the FAQ section on the site is pretty extensive and the two most useful customer service options (in our experience at least), namely live chat and email, are both available.

The casino at BetStorm is jammed full of different games that will suit all types of casino player. Whether you prefer a live table or go hunting for jackpot joy, there will be plenty of choice for you here.
