Karamba

The Karamba online casino was launched in 2005, and it has become a well-known gambling site particularly in Europe.

In early 2018, the sportsbook, powered by SBTech, was introduced, and the Malta-based bookie is now a fully-fledged betting site with a wide selection of sports odds to go along with the multitude of casino games.

Pros ✅

• Excellent mobile product, and great functionality on desktop too.
• Smooth live betting experience with a mixture of markets.
• A good number of banking options.

Cons ❌

• No live streaming of events, meaning bettors have to watch elsewhere.
• Bonus offer is small, but requires no turnover.

Verdict 👨‍⚖

• Karamba is undoubtedly a casino-first bookie, and whilst there is no getting away from that, the sportsbook is still worth a look here.
• For punters who like betting sites with gimmicks and quirks, Karamba is a lot of fun. Features like the KaramBOT and KaramBOOST provide recommendations and better odds, while fast markets give players the option to make snap bets on things to happen within the next few minutes.
• The mobile version of the Karamba sportsbook is particularly nice to use, and everything works well overall, but it is the casino games where Karamba truly shines.

The sports section of the Karamba desktop site has a nice layout and a lot of work has clearly gone into making it as easy to navigate as possible, which is particularly impressive given Karamba’s casino-first and mobile-first nature.

Along the top banner, features and special offers are shown on graphics, such as ‘KaramGuess’ in which players can win a bet token, and ‘KaramBoost’ which gives users the option to add more selections to their parlay for a chance to get enhanced odds on their winnings.

Below this, the website has a straightforward sportsbook layout, with popular upcoming events listed along with odds on the money line.

Clicking on an event will reveal the other markets available, and there is a good variety, especially on big soccer games.

Punters can click on the ‘In-Play’ tab to view events currently taking place and enjoy the Karamba live betting experience. There is also a ‘Starting Soon’ section.

Another useful part of the site is the ‘Results’ area, where bettors can check outcomes from all sports on the sportsbook from the past seven days.

A sidebar on the left of the page displays all of the sports which users can wager on, and sub-categories are shown underneath when one is clicked on.

The variety of events and markets is solid if not sensational, and most casual players will likely find what they want to bet on fairly easily, and deposit using one of the many banking methods allowed by Karamba.

Odds are competitive on all events, particularly on tennis, which is one of the main sports on the Karamba sportsbook in terms of depth.

With full optimisation for mobile, punters will enjoy the slick design and quick loading times of Karamba via their internet browser or the app which is available on iOS and Android.

Navigation is simple, and all of the features function well. The design mirrors that of the desktop version, with the grey and blue coloured branding running throughout.

To keep updated with Karamba’s regular promotions, customers can turn on push notifications and never miss out.

It is an overall interactive experience and especially fun when it comes to live betting.

The ‘KaramBot’ provides punters with exclusive tips, which is a nice additional touch.

With the Karamba sports betting app, players can also try their hand at casino games, despite there also being a standalone Karamba casino, slots and games app.

Whether you are into baseball or badminton, in all likelihood you will be able to bet on your preferred events with Karamba.

Over 25 sports are on the sportsbook in total, with the below ones being among the most popular.
