Velobet Casino

Velobet: review and description of the online casino

Created in 2023, Velobet is a casino that didn't take long to make a name for itself. Specialising in betting, the site offers a wide variety of games, and has other strengths likely to win over a majority of players.

To find out whether this site is right for you, we offer a full review. From the titles on offer to the bonuses, customer service and mobile version, we put everything under the microscope to help you form an objective opinion. Let's go!

A betting-mad casino

As its name suggests, Velobet is a site primarily focused on betting... But not necessarily cycling bets! Here, all bets — whether sports, live, or even virtual — are welcome. The content is clearly oriented in this direction... So if you don't enjoy betting, you're better off looking elsewhere in our casino selection.

That said, the platform also allows you to play in good conditions. As you'll see, the titles on offer have little to envy from those found on traditional platforms.

For the rest, it's fair to say this is a rather attractive and pleasant site to browse. However, the range seems a little limited when it comes to promotions and loyalty schemes.

Let's look at all of this in detail.

Betting and more!

Enough talk! It's high time to test the sportsbook and the game library!

A very sports-focused offer

For sports betting, the team has duly prepared a large hub simply titled "Sports":

Unsurprisingly, this page primarily highlights the most popular disciplines, as well as the most interesting upcoming matches, particularly in football. The content is fairly comprehensive, yet still relatively clear.

Simply click on a match to access a list of potential bets. By clicking on the odds of your choice, a bet slip automatically opens, allowing you to place single or combined bets in a very intuitive way.

Other content can easily be found using the left navigation bar. As you might expect, an enormous number of disciplines are available, including the most niche ones (futsal, hurling...). There are also categories dedicated to the main e-sports games (Dota, LoL, Counter Strike...).

Live betting

By heading to the "Live" section, you'll find matches in real time:

This adds a little excitement to the life of a bettor! The most-watched matches are highlighted, but once again you just need to use the left navigation bar to find other matches of interest.

Note that, even though the site doesn't allow you to filter between streamed and non-streamed matches, some e-sport games are broadcast live.

A great virtual leagues page

In another part of the site, you'll also find certain virtual league matches, with live streaming of games in a small window.

The image is fairly large, but surprisingly pixelated. It feels like being taken back a decade!

The left navigation bar emphasises football, but it is also possible to bet on basketball, tennis, racing, baseball and cricket.

Bet on races

Great news for enthusiasts: the platform also allows you to place bets on horse racing and greyhound racing in good conditions.

Simply choose your preferred country from the races to place a bet very easily. Races are often broadcast live, which is extremely rare on online betting sites. For a thrilling experience, the conditions are truly ideal...

Inspecting the game library

To play, the simplest option is to head to the section logically titled "Casino":

As you can see, the site highlights its slots... And Velobet is fairly well stocked, with more than 80 partner providers, including some major players such as Play'n Go, Spribe, Yggdrasil, Realtime Gaming and Betsoft.

You'll be able to play on a varied selection of slot machines, tied to many different universes and featuring various gameplay types. There's truly everything you need! If you already know some good games, you'll likely find them with a quick manual search. To discover other slots, you can trust Velobet's curated selections: popular, jackpot, bonus buy, Megaways... The featured slots are of good quality. Unfortunately, there is no demo mode, making it impossible to try them for free.

Finally, note that, even though it's not immediately obvious when browsing the site, the platform also allows you to play solo all traditional casino games: baccarat, roulette, blackjack... Several different versions are always available. To find them, however, a manual search is required.

The live lounge

It is also possible to play in real conditions, with other players and a dealer. To do so, simply head to the "Live Casino" category:

Games are organised by 7 providers, including Pragmatic and Amusnet, two major players in the industry.

At first glance, the page is not very well organised, but using the search bar at the top or performing a manual search is enough to find what you're looking for. The site is fairly well stocked, with around 200 active tables at any given time. Baccarat, poker, roulette... Everything is there. There are even several TV Games (game shows), which offer both an original and entertaining experience.

A great selection of mini-games

Finally, Velobet offers a more original section dedicated to mini-games:

The mini-games on offer are quite original! There are a few classics such as Plinko, Mines or Dice... But you'll also find several lesser-known yet nonetheless interesting titles. There are even several exclusives!

A demo mode would have been perfect for this section... But let's not complain!

Fairly limited promotions

Let's now see whether the site can compete with the competition when it comes to promos and bonuses.

Welcome gift

To welcome new players, Velobet offers three options:

• The sports bonus is 150% up to €1,000 plus 10 free bets. The minimum deposit is €10, and the wagering requirement is x15. You must bet on at least 3 events, each with odds of at least 1.3.

• For the casino, you get 330% up to €2,000, plus 300 free spins. This gift is spread across the first three deposits, with fairly specific conditions. The minimum deposit is €10, with x30 wagering requirements, which is quite high but still reasonable.

• Finally, note that cryptocurrency enthusiasts are entitled to a special bonus. This amounts to 160% up to €1,000. The minimum deposit remains €10, and the wagering requirements increase to x35.

The sports marathon

To retain its players, Velobet also regularly organises "Sports Marathons":

Participants simply need to place bets across a series of leagues or events. They earn one point per euro wagered. At the end of the allotted time, the players with the most points share the prize pool.

These are fairly classic tournaments, but they have the merit of keeping players engaged by giving them a concrete goal and appealing rewards... Indeed, the prize pools are often very substantial (€500,000!), and the rewards are enticing (up to €5,000 per person!).

The Casino Marathon

Following an update, the site now also organises casino marathons!

The concept is broadly the same — it is simply a major tournament. The prize pool remains at €500,000, but participants can also win cash and free spins every day.

A great loyalty programme

It's not prominently featured on the site, but there is indeed a loyalty programme:

This loyalty programme is primarily based on cashback. To be eligible, players must deposit at least €200 and submit a request to customer support via the live chat.

Depending on the case, players can enjoy a 10% unconditional cashback on all deposits, and a 10% or 15% cashback on slot machines.

More originally: for a brief period of time, VIP players are entitled to unlimited spins and bets!

Simple but slow deposits and withdrawals

Let's now see how convenient and easy it is to deposit and withdraw on this licensed site.

Deposit

Depositing is quite straightforward! Simply start by clicking the green "Deposit" button, located in the top right corner of the home screen:

All you need to do is choose your preferred payment method and follow the on-screen instructions.

Payment is possible by bank transfer, credit card, via Skrill, Paysafecard, MiFinity and Neteller, as well as with several cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, Dogecoin, Dash… Do note that, depending on the country you reside in, certain payment methods may not appear.

Conditions may vary slightly depending on the selected payment method, but most often the minimum deposit is €10 and the maximum is €10,000.

Making a withdrawal

To retrieve your winnings, go to the same place as for deposits, then click on the "Withdraw Money" tab.

It is possible to receive your winnings by bank transfer, cryptocurrency, and MiFinity. Most often, the minimum withdrawal is €10 or €20. The maximum is €7,500.

One minor issue to note: withdrawal speeds are rather slow... You may sometimes have to wait up to 72 hours to receive your money.

Good customer service... In English!

No need to worry! Velobet is a very serious licensed site, where you can register without any concerns... But zero risk doesn't exist. Before signing up to a new online casino, it's always best to check the quality of the support.

To begin with, the technical team offers a "Frequently Asked Questions" section, accessible via a small link at the bottom of the page...

However, as you can see, this FAQ is both incomplete and poorly written. It is clearly an automatic translation, and the site only answers two questions: "how do you contact us?" and "how do you register?" In other words, this FAQ will be of no use to 99.99% of users...

Fortunately, it is possible to contact customer support directly by email at support@velobet.email, or by using the live chat, accessible by clicking on the green speech bubble icon located in the bottom right corner of the home screen.

To start a conversation, you must first enter your username and email address. You then need to select the reason for your message by choosing from several categories.

To assess the quality of a customer service team, we very often ask them how to make a payment in bitcoin. This makes it fairly easy to see whether the agents are competent and conscientious. We therefore clicked on the "Deposit" button.

The conversation started, and we directly asked how to make a bitcoin deposit. After a few seconds, the person asked for our username (which we had already provided a few minutes earlier...). They then transferred us to the responsible team, asking us to continue in English.

After two or three minutes of waiting, the person provided a very thorough explanation, but in English. They explained which part of the site to navigate to, and how to proceed concretely. They also explained that in certain countries, bitcoin payments are not possible.

We then asked about the purpose of the QR code, which allows you to automatically copy and paste the electronic wallet address to be paid. This is normally a very basic question, but all too often customer service teams are unable to answer it!

This time, the agent answered the question correctly and took the time to explain how addresses work for this type of payment.

Good customer service... A shame that conversations have to be conducted in English.

A remarkably efficient registration process

Has the review convinced you and you'd like to sign up? Rest assured, nothing could be simpler! To begin, click on the grey "Register" button, located in the top right corner of the home screen.

A window opens automatically. Choose a username, then enter a valid email address. Next, choose a secure password, enter your country and phone number. If you have a promo code, you can tick the corresponding box. Don't forget to accept the general terms of use and the privacy policy by ticking the box to validate your pre-registration. You can uncheck the last box if you do not wish to receive advertising.

That's already it! You can now deposit money and start enjoying yourself however you wish! For your first deposit, the site will simply ask for your first name, last name, and a mobile phone number.

Please note that to finalise your registration, you will eventually need to provide proof of your identity and credit card by going to the "Account Verification" tab found in your personal profile.

A mobile version that isn't always accessible...

If you feel like playing or betting using a smartphone or tablet, you're probably wondering how good the mobile version is...

Good news: it is fully functional, and accessible from any Android or Apple device. It allows you to do everything that can be done on a computer...

Don't forget that in certain countries the site will be inaccessible! To avoid any issues, research the relevant legislation before signing up...

A site that keeps improving

Our 2024 review left us somewhat sceptical… Today, we come away rather convinced from this new full review... In our opinion, Velobet now has everything it needs to appeal to those who want to bet in good conditions, and it has successfully broadened its offer to become a very convincing all-round site.

The platform still has a few minor flaws, but they are no longer as off-putting as before. The bonuses are still too few in number, and the loyalty programme still lacks a little variety. Nothing deal-breaking, though. The site is undoubtedly among the best casinos currently available.
