22Bet Review

I’ll start with the bad news: crypto account holders do not qualify for any 22Bet welcome bonuses. Bummer, right?

So, if bonuses are a priority for you, you may want to look to crypto-exclusive casinos like Stake, BC.Game, or Rocketpot – all of which offer several bonuses and promotions specifically tailored for crypto players.

This disappointment aside, 22Bet has a really great set of sign-up deals, for casino and sports players alike. I’ll unpack some of the most popular offers:

Casino First Deposit Bonus

22Bet welcomes (fiat) players with open arms with a generous deposit bonus. It comprises a 100% deposit match up to 300 EUR, with a minimum deposit of 1 EUR. This low entry barrier makes this bonus perfect for everyday players – not just high rollers. Here’s how to claim this 22Bet bonus:

• Sign up at 22Bet
• Deposit at least 1 EUR
• Claim your bonus
• The amount will be credited to your account

It’s that simple! However, like most bonuses, this one comes with certain strings attached:

• A 50x wagering requirement
• All wagered amounts will be counted twice (if a bonus is activated)
• Certain games don’t count toward wagering requirements
• Each stake must not exceed 5 EUR
• You have 7 days to meet rollover requirements

These are some significant terms to contend with, not to mention the incredibly high 50x wagering requirement. As a comparison, most crypto casinos have a 30x rollover on bonuses.

Sports First Deposit Bonus

More of a sports betting fan? That’s fine, 22Bet has you covered with a neat 100% deposit match bonus up to 122 EUR. Like the casino bonus, the minimum deposit amount to qualify is 1 EUR.

You’re probably wondering why this bonus is much smaller than its casino counterpart. I was too, and it turns out that it’s likely due to the more favorable wagering requirements of 5x your deposit amount.

You can claim this bonus in the same way as the casino promo, but you’ll find that the Ts & Cs are different:

• Wagering requirements are only met in accumulator bets (at least 3 selections)
• These bets must have odds of 1.40 or higher
• Refunded bets don’t count toward rollover requirements
• You have 7 days to meet the requirements

Other 22Bet Bonuses

Now that I’ve covered the two main bonuses, let’s have a look at some of the ongoing 22Bet promos that you can look forward to:

• Weekly Rebate Bonus: Every Friday, you can claim a cash rebate of 0.3% on your sports bets for the week. The minimum rebate is 1 EUR, while the maximum is 1000 EUR. In order to qualify, you must place a bet on an event with odds of at least 1.50.
• Friday Reload: Deposit between 1 – 100 EUR on Fridays and receive a 100% deposit match bonus! You have 24 hours to meet the 3x rollover requirement, and only accumulator bets with odds of at least 1.40 will count towards fulfilling this requirement. Additionally, you’ll need to make at least three selections.
• Birthday Gift: Celebrate your special day with 500 points in the 22Bet shop, where a plethora of gifts await you.

Are 22Bet Bonuses Worth It?

If you’re a crypto player, not really.

As I mentioned already, crypto accounts aren’t eligible to receive bonuses, which is a huge setback in my book.

Compare this to Cloudbet’s crypto-forward welcome bonus comprising a 100% deposit match up to 5 BTC, and it’s pretty clear to see that 22Bet is lacking in this department. I hope to see 22Bet offering crypto players a better deal in the near future.

22Bet is a sports betting site at its core, which is why you’ll be greeted by the well-organized sportsbook section when you first visit the site. The casino has a blue theme with pops of color and moving banners. All in all, it’s aesthetically pleasing.

Navigating from one part of the site to another is a breeze, and the game categories are intuitively categorized. Another thing I liked is the size of the game tiles (much bigger than most crypto casinos). This makes it easier to sort through the games and find your favorite title – no squinting required!

The site is separated into 7 main divisions:

As you can imagine, this nifty feature rules out lengthy searches for your desired section.

22Bet App

Mobile-first players, you can breathe a sigh of relief. 22Bet is perfectly optimized for mobile gambling. The casino goes a step further by offering a downloadable app for Android and iOS.

I take off my hat to 22Bet for this feat, as most of the top-rated casinos don’t even have apps yet.

Note that not all the games on-site are available on the app. Nevertheless, it’s highly likely that you’ll find most of your favorite titles. If you can’t, simply stick to the web.

22Bet Login & Sign-Up

You can sign up at 22Bet in under a minute. You’ll need to supply the following information:

• Email
• Name
• Surname
• Date of birth
• Country

This isn’t much different from any other crypto casino, and it actually makes 22Bet one of the fastest sign-up Bitcoin casinos out there. Unfortunately, it can’t beat BC.Game, which has a record sign-up time of 29 seconds.

Community

Online gambling can be a lonely experience, and unfortunately, 22Bet doesn’t do much to mitigate these feelings. There is no on-site player chat – the addition of which would make this casino feel all the more friendly.

If you haven’t noticed by now, 22Bet is all about sports – much more so than casino. However, this doesn’t mean that the site doesn’t have a good casino game selection – quite the contrary.

Let’s dig into 22Bet’s main offerings, starting with:

Sports Betting

22Bet is a sports betting powerhouse, where you can bet on over 50+ traditional sports. And, let’s not forget eSports and virtual sports. But let’s cover traditional sports for now. Some popular sports categories you can bet on include:

• Football
• Tennis
• Golf
• UFC
• Cycling
• Cricket
• Basketball
• Formula 1

And that’s just to name a few!

What makes this offering even better is the sportsbook’s intuitive layout and nifty bet slip, which helps you keep track of your past and ongoing bets. You can also choose how odds are represented, with 6 different options available.

eSports fans, listen up! We’ve already mentioned that 22Bet offers eSports betting with crypto, but you’ll probably be happy to hear that the site offers betting on some of the top games and leagues. These include:

• CS:GO
• Dota 2
• League of Legends
• King of Glory

But how does 22Bet’s eSports selection compare to other top eSports betting sites? It holds its own, but I should mention that Thunderpick, one of our top-rated brands, offers a more diverse selection of eSports (18 categories, to be precise). 22Bet’s selection pales in comparison.

22Bet Slots

22Bet doesn’t disappoint in the slots department. With thousands of slots on offer, it’s more than likely you’ll find your favorite games (and then some). 22Bet has a portfolio of 80+ providers, including household names like:

• Belatra
• Evoplay
• Playson
• And many more!

However, I couldn’t help but notice the absence of titans like Play’n Go, Pragmatic Play, and Quickspin. I hope to see 22Bet add these providers to the list in the very near future.

My favorite part about playing slots at 22Bet? You can play up to 4 different slots at the same time using the casino’s game divider feature. I had (too much) fun trying out a range of video slots and spinning simultaneously.

If you do take advantage of this feature, I’d recommend keeping your bets very small to avoid burning through your bankroll too quickly – a classic BTC gambling mistake you should try to avoid.

Live Casino

22Bet also excels in the live casino sphere, with a great range of tables where you can interact with dealers in real time. You’ll find big live providers like Vivo, Bombay Live, and Atmosfera. If you have a preferred table game, make sure to take advantage of the multiple variants 22Bet has on offer.

As an example of this diversity, the casino has 60+ live roulette games alone.

The blackjack, poker, baccarat, and game show categories are just as impressive. If you haven’t noticed already, I’m pretty impressed by 22Bet’s live dealer section. It even rivals Cloudbet Casino‘s selection, one of our top-rated live casino sites. However, it’s hard to beat Cloudbet’s very generous, 5 BTC welcome bonus.

Nevertheless, if bonuses aren’t a priority for you, 22Bet’s live casino selection will more than suffice.

To Summarize…

At this point, I’m confident when I say that 22Bet shines in the game department. However, there is a lot of room for improvement:

❌ There are no provably fair games
❌ There are no in-house, original titles
❌ It’s missing some big-name providers

On the point of provably fair and in-house games, I can’t help but compare 22Bet to two top-tier brands, Stake and BC.Game, both of which have a diverse selection of original games where you can personally verify the fairness of the results.

22Bet is a safe and secure gambling site, and here’s why:

• It holds a valid Curaçao gaming license (license number 8048/JAZ2017-067).
• The casino has a good reputation in the gambling biz.
• The site upholds SSL encryption.

I was pleasantly surprised by the casino’s comprehensive privacy policy, which goes a long way in fostering the type of transparency I like to see from crypto casinos. According to 22Bet:

22Bet and its employees are committed to collecting and storing your personal data according to the strictest international standards and applicable regulations to ensure its safety and proper handling.

22Bet Privacy Policy

Does 22Bet Request KYC?

Yes, 22Bet reserves the right to request KYC documentation from players (usually upon the first withdrawal request). In other words, if you’re looking for a purely anonymous gambling experience, you may want to look elsewhere. 22Bet may request some or all of the following:

• A photo of your ID/passport/driver’s license
• A recent utility bill
• A bank card statement

This information must match the details you provide during registration, otherwise, 22Bet can legally refuse to pay out. Similarly, if you’ve used a VPN to access 22Bet from a restricted country, you may run into some issues during this step.

Restricted Countries

Thanks to its Curaçao license, 22Bet has a long list of restricted countries. Some of these include:

You can find a complete list of restricted countries in the site’s General Terms.

As you probably deduced from the casino’s no-crypto bonus terms, 22Bet is primarily fiat-first. That’s not to say that you can’t deposit and play with crypto, but there are many more fiat currencies available.

In any case, let’s look at the different crypto options and their limits. At 22Bet, you can transact using 30 cryptos, including:

• Bitcoin
• Ethereum
• Litecoin
• Dogecoin
• Cardano
• Tether
• Dash

22Bet Deposits

22Bet has put in the work to make deposits easy for new and existing players alike. However, as is customary most casinos, you’ll have some 22Bet Casino minimum deposit limits to contend with:

As you can see, 22Bet has chosen to display many of the available cryptos in their ‘micro’ formats. I’m not too crazy about this system as it adds an extra layer of complication for players.

And what about maximum deposit limits? These weren’t easy to find. Eventually, I reached out to customer services and they informed us of the following (using some interesting terms):

To find out the maximum amount of replenishment, you need to contact the selected payment system. This information is not displayed on our website.

22Bet Customer Services

I’ll be sure to update you when I uncover more details on this matter.

22Bet Withdrawals

Withdrawing funds is pretty simple at 22Bet – except, of course, for the KYC requirements that we’ve already discussed. As is the case with deposits, you’ll have some minimum and maximum cashout limits to adhere to. Here are the limits for the most popular coins:

Note that these are the minimum and maximum withdrawal limits at the time of writing, and they’re subject to change due to volatility.

Something else you should know is that the ‘withdraw’ section isn’t that easy to find. You’ll need to navigate to the ‘Account’ section (the person icon) and select ‘Withdraw Funds’. In the future, 22Bet could make things a bit simpler for players by adding a specific ‘Withdraw’ button on the header.

Verdict

22Bet has some work to do in the payment department. Aside from that, the casino has a relatively well-oiled machine when it comes to making deposits and withdrawals. I also like the fact that there are no on-site fees for crypto transactions (though you may need to pay a network fee, depending on your preferred currency).

My deposit landed in my account in under 5 minutes. And, after my KYC check (which took a few hours) my withdrawal came through moments later.

Worried about the KYC-related wait? It’s not ideal, but you should only have to go through the KYC check once. Your following withdrawals should be much faster. However, I can’t help but compare this waiting period with that of casinos like BetFury and JackBit, both of which offer instant transactions – no waiting or KYC checks required.

A good customer support service is paramount at any online casino. 22Bet understands this well and offers solid customer service, where you can get help via:

• 24/7 live chat
• Email (support-en@22bet.com)

The casino also boasts an extensive FAQ and Terms and Conditions database, where you can find and filter answers to just about any question under the sun.

During my 22Bet review process, I reached out through the live chat on a few different occasions. Each time, I received a helpful response in under 3 minutes.

Responsible Gambling

22Bet does a lot more in the way of promoting responsible gambling than most casinos do. The casino provides a comprehensive definition of gambling addiction (signs and symptoms to look out for) and provides several links to responsible gambling resources.

You can also request self-exclusion (permanently or for a period of time) through customer services. During this time, the casino will make sure to block your account and refrain from sending any promotional content your way. A missing feature here is a self-exclusion toolkit, where players can set the boundaries and conditions themselves without having to go through the live chat or email.
