Novibet ie on i Mac

I've never heard of Novibet - is it a new bookie?

Novibet.ie is not exactly a new bookie, but it is relatively new for Irish punters, yes.

The Malta-based company was founded in 2010 and has become a respected name within the European gaming sector after making its name in Greece and Italy. However, it wasn't until 2021 that the brand came to Ireland, further strengthening its presence in Europe.

The next stop for Novibet in 2023 is the US and Canada. The company has market access agreements for New Jersey and Pennsylvania, having launched in Mexico in 2022.

Okay, tell me more. What can I expect?

Since being awarded a licence by the Revenue Commissioners, Novibet has caught the attention of many Irish punters.

You can point to the sheer number of promos as one of the reasons for this. Be it football, horse racing, tennis or darts, there are free bet opportunities day in and day out on Novibet.

Novibet's range of betting promotions is as good as you'll find anywhere in Ireland.

The casino is the same - offers aplenty. The Novibet Casino Calendar presents a theme for each day when customers win free spins and bonuses. The ‘Provider of the Week’ is another chance for customers to win bonuses and such like.

In addition to this, customers can look forward to a good catalogue of live streams for football and horse racing, albeit not at the level of its competitors.

Is Novibet popular in Ireland?

Yes. And their profile is growing all the time. Novibet has been smart in getting Irish champion jockey Bryan Hughes on board to deliver horse racing insight and betting tips.

Strong brand recognition together with an ever-improving product means will Novibet continue to flourish in Ireland. Speaking of which...

Fintech company, Citizen has been added to the list of payment options.

Citizen is becoming more and more popular for Irish residents making online payments because of its simplicity. It requires no cards or codes and payment is fast, secure and seamless.

Novibet customers can also use debit card, PayPal, Trustly, Skrill, Neteller and Apple Pay to fund their accounts.

Novibet Sign Up Offer

Here's more on how to claim this monster betting offer:

Novibet Promotions

On some bet sites, the generosity begins and ends with the welcome bonus. Fortunately, this isn’t the case on Novibet.

Betting offers are as regular as Erling Haaland hat-tricks

In addition to all the football and horse racing promotions, we found free bet offers for darts, cricket and boxing.

Insurance offers, odds boosts, loyalty programs and free-to-play games complete an impressive collection of promotions that puts many Irish bookies in the shade.

Novibet Sportsbook

From football, horse racing and Gaelic football and hurling to cycling, chess and wrestling and all the sports in between, Novibet’s sports offering is wide ranging.

Football, basketball and tennis get the most coverage. But in general, any sports event or even non-sporting events - including politics and film/music events - can be wagered on.

Novibet Football

Generally speaking, every online bookmaker in Ireland does a great job of meeting the needs of football bettors in Ireland.

Novibet is no different here. They provide customers with an extensive selection of leagues and competitions from around the world and list hundreds of bet types.

From Asian handicaps, cards and corners, player specials, combo bets and stats-based bets, Novibet covers every aspect of a football match.

What else do football punters get on Novibet?
Nick Albert
Nick Albert
  • Promos, promos and more promos
  • A new, improved Bet Builder
  • Blog previewing the big fixtures
  • A detailed stats section

Just take a look at Novibet on Twitter (@novibet_ie) and you’ll see what I mean in terms of the sheer volume of football betting offers. There’s a regular flow of free bets, price boosts and insurance bets for all the big games to keep every football punter happy.

As well as being a lot smoother, the new Bet Builder offers punters more combinations than before (12) bringing Novibet in line with the variety and flexibility seen on Bet Builders elsewhere.

Having match previews, betting tips and stats aren’t make-or-break features. But I’d much rather a football betting site has this on their site than not. Plus having it all in one place saves me time going between different sites.

Novibet Horse Racing

Getting Champion jockey Bryan Hughes on board as a brand ambassador has helped raise the profile of Novibet in the horse racing market and in Ireland in general.

The partnership goes to show how Novibet is beginning to place more importance on its horse racing offering, which right now lags behind the leading operators.

Novibet.ie doesn’t offer the same volume of races you get at other horse racing betting sites. There's no international racing and not every race has a live stream.

But we fully expect this part of the site will grow as it becomes more established here in Ireland.

What you will find when you bet on horse races at Novibet:

  • Decent range of markets: Race winner; E/W, To Finish 1st or 2nd, Forecast
  • Live streams for the majority of UK and Irish racing
  • Neat, informative race cards
  • Predictions from Racing Post

Novibet eSports

I'm not one for eSports myself. But I’m reliably informed by fellow My Betting Sites reviewer, Ryan, that Novibet, compared with the rest of the market, more than holds its own as far as eSports go. Happy to pass the baton to the expert here:

Ryan’s take on eSports at Novibet
Ryan
Ryan

Whether it’s League of Legends, Dota 2 or my favourite, Counter Strike, Novibet has a great range of betting markets for all the top eSports games. Adding FIFA to the menu is something I’d like to see going forwards.

Novibet Live Streaming

If you want to stream live events on Novibet, you can. Selected football, horse racing, tennis, basketball, NFL events and eSports events are available.

The number of live events isn’t as many as you get on other online bookmakers in Ireland. However, given its recent launch, we anticipate more sports and events being added before too long.

Novibet Bet Builder

As mentioned before in this review, Novibet has significantly improved its Bet Builder.

Let’s say this part of Novibet wasn’t so user-friendly prior to the upgrade. Today, however, it’s a lot smoother and easy to use.

Customers can use the toggle to switch to Bet Builder mode and there’s a list of bets as long as your arm to combine into one bet!

Novibet Cash Out

If you want to settle your bet before a game has finished, you can use Cash Out across a number of sports and markets and on the Bet Builder too.

Auto Cash Out, Partial Cash Out and Stop Loss Cash Out enable customers to control their bets further still.

What makes Novibet different?

At mybettingsites.com/ie, we’re all about finding the features that make each betting site stand out from the crowd.

What has Novibet done differently, or, what's unique about its offering? Here’s what we found:

Game preview image

Few, if any, bookies use an in-action image to preview featured games (like the one used for the Brentford vs Brighton game in the screenshot below).

Screenshot of the Novibet ie homepage
We really like this. Some homepages can be dull and lifeless but Novibet does a great job of getting eyes on the page instantly.

Clicking on the image takes you straight to the event page for the featured game too.

Whether this turns out to be a fad remains to be seen. But in our book, small touches like this are a welcome addition.

All action layout

Like you, my initial thoughts when landing on the homepage is “wow, there's a lot going on here”.

Unlike BetVictor and BoyleSports where the central part of the page is one neat strip, Novibet has split this in two; the left focuses on odds for upcoming matches and in-play events while the right shows featured promos and top bets for popular events.

Either side of the main part, you have links to all the sports and competitions you can bet on (on the left) and images of promos and betting features (on the right).

Compared with the ‘less is more’ approach taken by those bookies mentioned, the homepage is arguably close to an information overload.

Then again all they’ve done is use a similar layout to the one used by that other betting site everyone likes so much, Bet365.

If you like the layout of Bet365, chances are you will like what you see on Novibet.

NoviLadies

Increased interest in women’s sport, especially in football, has led to more and more women beginning to take up sports betting and online gambling in general.

We say what better way to welcome a new type of audience than creating a dedicated section for them?

Except for 888 Ladies, we cannot recall another bookie that has ventured into this niche and yet untouched part of the market. We credit Novibet with trying something new here.

Novibet Casino

Novibet has partnered with the world’s leading casino providers to deliver a casino with 5000+ games including slots, casino table and live dealer games.

Having first launched its casino in 2010 the volume of games is unsurprising.

Novibet has both the quality and quantity of casino game.

The variety and the sheer number of promotions for existing customers are excellent too.

Novibet: What's the verdict?

Novibet Ireland - 8/10

Get €70 in Free Bets No Deposit Offer

Having only launched in 2021, Novibet’s Irish offering isn't yet the finished article. More football live streaming would be nice. Horse races are lacking in volume too. However, you will be impressed with what Novibet has to offer overall, particularly the number of promotions available each day.
