BetTarget Review

A Powerhouse of the Punting World

While BetTarget still has a lot of history to write on its own, as it was launched in 2021, the owner company has always been a big name in the punting world. Karamba Limited has been running betting and casino sites for years, including one bearing its own name. A few months before the end of 2021, the company became part of the much larger Aspire Global International LTD, which ended up being a massive upgrade for its software, making for a vastly improved BetTarget betting experience for all players.

Simple and Fast Signup

The step-by-step signup process at BetTarget is pretty straightforward, and it takes just a minute or two to go through the whole thing. You will need to provide your full name, address, phone number, and date of birth. This is also the point where you’ll need to select your desired currency and enter any promo codes if you’ve got them. After short email verification, your account will be ready, and you can start betting on sports.

Free Bets After First Deposit

Everyone loves getting freebies and good betting offers, so naturally, you’ll want to take advantage of the BetTarget signup bonus and score yourself a round of free betting. You’ll first need to load up your account with at least £10 and then use your balance to place some bets. Then, the site will reward you with a free bet token worth £15 that you’ll need to spend on a bet with odds of at least 1/1. Best of all – there are no wagering requirements to collect your bonus winnings! Just be sure to spend your bonus within 14 days of receiving it.

Unfortunately, that’s pretty much it when it comes to free bets in the BetTarget promotions section. Instead of repeated deposit bonuses, the site instead offers match day battles, betting tournaments with cash prizes. Skilfulpunters can score up to £1,000 per win, so it’s absolutely worth participating. If you want to test your mettle against AI, you can join the weekly Beat The Bot competition, where you’ll win £10 cash if your bet outranks the site’s bot. It’s a fun and pretty unusual challenge.

Bet on Everything

BetTarget offers a healthy selection of betting opportunities, from sports and esports to seasonal events and Academy Awards betting. While football is the #1 sport you can bet on, the BetTarget sportsbook includes a surprising number of American sports and leagues. The NBA and NFL are the most represented leagues out of the bunch. We were also surprised by how diverse the ice hockey section is, with every international league and tournament covered. You can quickly access each of these sections and narrow down the selection based on when the event is set to start. The site also shows a few of the most popular upcoming and ongoing matches in the left column for instant access to these bets.

All Kinds of Bets

BetTarget’s site didn’t disappoint us regarding the bet selection, either. You can bet on halftime/fulltime scores, first to x points, outright winners, over/under, 1st score, apply handicaps, and much more. If you love the excitement of in-play betting, BetTarget offers it in droves. You’ll find these types of bets in a dedicated section, and some of these matches have 15+ betting opportunities, letting you create the perfect betting slip. Even if there isn’t a specific event that you want to bet on, contacting the site’s support will let you ask for a customised bet.

Great Banking Options

Loading up your account with a BetTarget deposit is quick and easy. The site accepts quite a lot of currencies – EUR, CAD, GBP, NOK, USD, CLP, INR, NZD, PEN, ZAR – which, again, you’ll have to select during the account creation process. To place a deposit, you’ll need to head to the cashier section from the lobby and select deposit, followed by choosing a deposit method. You can use a debit card, Skrill, Neteller, EcoPayz, bank transfer, paysafecard, Trustly, PayPal, and several other e-wallets. The deposit options also depend on where you’re playing from. No matter what you end up using, though, there are no deposit fees, and all transactions except wire transfers are processed instantly.

Fast Withdrawals

To initiate a BetTarget withdrawal, you’ll need to select the cashier option again. Of course, you’ll now select the cashout option. All of the aforementioned payment options are available for withdrawals, too, so there’s a lot to choose from. As is usually the practice with betting sites, withdrawals aren’t instant. Instead, it takes up to five business days for the money to reach you. The maximum you can withdraw is £10,000. BetTarget’s staff will ask you for some form of ID to verify your account before your first withdrawal, so have it prepared on your computer or smartphone when you start playing at this site.

Mobile Experience

Accessing BetTarget sports is available from pretty much any device with an internet connection, be it a computer, a tablet, or a smartphone. Unfortunately, the site didn’t offer a dedicated mobile app at the time of writing this review, so the only option for mobile play was using the browser on our smartphones. The site does scale pretty well for smaller screens and even has a few extra buttons on the bottom of the screen for easier navigation.

Fantastic Betting Experience

We’ve been talking about betting options, markets, and banking so far. But, how’s the betting experience? In a word – impressive. It’s clear that the owners of the BetTarget website have a lot of experience in designing well-thought-out user interfaces that emphasise intuitive navigation. We were able to get around the site with ease and never found ourselves overwhelmed, nor having to squint our eyes to read any of the text. Top marks here.

Safe and Secure

Players’ safety is a growing concern in the betting industry. Sites need to have military-grade encryption to protect all the sensitive data they handle, but also to be there for players who can’t control their gambling habits. BetTarget excels in both departments, offering many options for self-regulation and protecting all sensitive user data with SSL encryption.

Basic But Good Support

When you need to contact BetTarget’s customer support, you’ll be able to do so through email and live chat. While we’d love to see a phone number as option number three, there’s a bigger problem: the site doesn’t have 24/7 support, so late night players who don’t catch them by midnight will have to wait until 8 a.m. to resolve their inquiries. That said, the support team is very helpful, quick to respond, and friendly.

An Easy Recommendation

It should be clear by now that BetTarget gets our hearty recommendation. Throughout our BetTarget review, we praised the amazing player experience, variety of sportsbooks and betting markets, and great banking options. There are still some things to iron out, but nothing that can’t be fixed in the future.
