Bookmaker 18bet was established in 2010, but its beginnings on the internet were in 2012. 18bet originates from Asia, but is constantly trying to increase its presence in Europe. In 2018, the site managed to obtain a license from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) The bookmaker is owned by Malta-based company Shark77 Ltd. With the new target markets as well as the overall look of the site, the site is slowly losing its Asian identity and trying to move towards a popular bookmaker in Europe. Is it succeeding? It must be honestly said that a good term for 18bet is the word “average”. The 18bet website has average popularity and recognition, and so does its reputation and everything else.
However, in order to be fully objective, one must rate their Asian handicaps highly. We have a great deal of handicap options for soccer and to some extent for other, especially popular sports on a daily basis, although against the background of some Asian bookmakers focusing on one or a few sports they fare quite well, as 18bet supports more than a dozen sports. To another advantage should be added fast settlement of events, at least on the broker platform it lasts very quickly, we have not tested on a direct account with the bookmaker.
What is most important, the amount of odds, can also be assessed as average. True, sometimes in my brokerage account navigation panel I see that 18bet has comparable odds with the biggest players on the market, but this does not happen often. The vast majority of these odds are lower than the rest of the bookmakers available at the broker. Also not very common (although it does happen) is to find an arbitrage bet on 18bet. The sports offer looks a little better. It is quite good. Especially on soccer. And here is where 18bet can be useful in our brokerage account. It can in a way complement betting on heavily niche matches, where we want to play a very high stake and need to spread it over several bookmakers.
Since 18bet should be considered as a complementary offering, its markets are available at two betting brokers. BetInAsia and Sportmarket, whose descriptions you will find below. As you already know that 18bet is not a standout bookmaker, however, the presence of these markets on these brokerage platforms should be viewed positively. After all, the more options the better, even if they are complementary. 18bet is one of several bookmakers in the broker’s offering with whom you can register directly, unlike most bookmakers who leave the handling of players to betting brokers. However, it is highly recommended to access 18bet through a broker, as this is safer and more useful for the player due to the advanced agent platforms. Bet brokers providing access to 18bet markets are available below.
