Highbet Sports Betting Site

Here in Ireland, and indeed, across many other parts of the UK and Europe as well, online betting and gambling is big business. Online betting is not just good craic, it’s also potentially a great way to win some money.

Visiting the casino or the bookies is all well and good, and now and then it’s a great way to spend the day/night. Some days however, you don’t want to get dressed up and leave the house to place some bets, you want to slob around on the sofa in your PJs and do your gambling on your phone. This is one of the reasons why online betting sites have proved to be so popular.

Yes, you could argue that the market is saturated with online bookmakers and casinos, but this shows just how popular they are, and besides, as a punter, it’s always nice to have plenty of choice.

Speaking of choice, Highbet Sports is quickly proving to be a fan favourite here in Ireland, despite being in its infancy, but what exactly is the site all about, and how does it stack up against some o the bigger names in the gambling world?

About Highbet Sports

Highbet is one of the newer online bookmakers and casinos to enter the world of online gambling in Ireland, but don’t let that fool you, because Highbet is already turning heads and generating a lot of positive buzz.

Highbet was launched last year in 2021, yet in its first year it has gone from strength to strength. The site is a part of the Time Solutions Ltd family, which is actually a company specialising in space planning and design. They’ve decided to branch out and get into the gambling business which is why Highbet joined the family.

Licenced by the UKGC and the Malta Gaming Authority like so many other reputable online casinos and bookmakers, players can rest easy in the knowledge that Highbet Sports are reliable, trusthworthy, and above board.

This site is a haven for gamblers as it is complete with its own online virtual casino section, along with a sportsbook so you can place a bet on the footy at the weekend and then head on over to the slots to pass the time before kick off.

The software on the site is provided by Aspire Global International LTD, which you’ll be familiar with if you know your online gambling. If you don’t, let’s just say that they have a fantastic reputation in the online gambling industry and any site that uses them is almost certainly going to go places.

All of the usual casino favourites are here, along with some lesser known games, which we’ll cover in a few moments.

Do they provide a welcome offer?

If you do happen to know your online betting sites, you’ll know that most casinos and bookmakers provide welcome bonuses and promotions to new players, just to help convince them to sign up with them, rather than their competitors.

But do Highbet Sports provide a welcome bonus or promotion to new customers, and if so, what’s it like?

Well, first off, yes they do, although it’s perhaps not the most generous out there, but it certainly isn’t the worst. Basically, the welcome offer is for €10 when players deposit and wager a minimum of €15.

In order for players to be eligible for this offer, the wager must be placed at odds of 1/1 or above. The bet must also be settled within 14 days, otherwise players will forfeit their bonus. So, as soon as the free bet token reaches the player’s account, they have 14 days to use it, otherwise they’ll lose it.

Betting limits

Some online casinos and sportsbooks have unfairly large betting limits which means that players may end up spending more money than they intended, which is not great. Thankfully, despite the name, Highbet sports actually have a very low wagering limit of just 10 cents.

This is great for players who just want to have a bit of fun and keep their spending to a minimum, kind of like the copper coin machines at the seaside.

There is also no max limit you can wager, so if you are feeling flush, having no limits can be beneficial. We say there are no limits, but technically you cannot add any more zeros once you go above €10 million. So, unless you’re Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos, you’ll probably be fine.

Cash out

One feature we do look for in an online casino and sports betting company is the ability to cash out. After all, there’s no worse feeling than watching a win slip right through your fingers at the last second, especially when it comes to sports betting.

Cashing out basically means that you’re guaranteed at least something if you can’t hold your nerve, or if it looks like a result might change before the final whistle.

The good thing about Highbet for all of you betting fans out there, is the fact that there is indeed a cash out feature, and using it couldn’t be simpler. Simply click on the ‘My Bets’ tab located in the top righthand corner of the sportsbook where you can use the cash out feature.

All bets which are eligible for an early cash out will have a yellow dollar sign next to them. If you see the dollar symbol, you know that the bet is eligible for cashing out. Pretty cool, right?

Is there a VIP program?

With more and more bookmakers and casinos now offering VIP programs, you might wonder whether Highbet Sports have gotten in on the action, and if so, what is it like?

Well, Highbet Sports have indeed gotten in on the action as they do offer dedicated members access to their VIP program.

When members are able to attain prestige loyalty status, they will be rewarded with all manner of perks and incentives, including €100 as a bonus, prestige games, and cash back promotions.

For more serious gamblers as well, prestige members will also be granted access to “hidden” tournaments, high stakes tables, other promotions, and even their very own dedicated customer service agent (more on customer support at the end).

What’s that? You want more? Well, you’ll get more as a prestige VIP member because players will also be granted tickets to various sporting events, exhibitions, music concerts, and much more besides.

There are even celebrations and company events that members may attend. We have to say, there are VIP programs and then there are Highbet Sports’ VIP programs, as this is one of the best we’ve ever encountered.

Sportsbook

As you can tell from the name, from what we’ve already mentioned multiple times during this review, Highbet has a sports betting section along with an online casino.

We’ll be getting to the casino in a few moments, but first, allow us to look at the sportsbook. There are currently 28 options available here, which means that players can choose from 28 different sports or activities to place bets upon.

Some of the most popular ones include the following:

• Football
• Boxing
• Cricket
• Tennis
• MMA
• F1
• American football
• Horseracing
• Curling
• Golf
• Darts
• Water polo
• Esports
• Entertainment and politics
• And many more…

The football takes precedence on this site as players can bet on all manner of football matches and leagues from all over the globe. So, whether you’re looking to bet on the Champion’s League final, or on who will get relegated from League 2, you can with no issues whatsoever on Highbet.

The horseracing here on Highbet sports could perhaps be a little more extensive, as there are no international races or events that players can bet on. Despite this however, players can still bet on all races from Ireland and the UK, so unless you are a proper horseracing aficionado, you’ll likely still be able to satisfy your horseracing cravings.

It isn’t just sports that players can bet on when they use Highbet either, as there is also a small section dedicated to entertainment and politics. Here, punters can bet on all manner of things such as who will be the next PM, or which film will win next year’s Oscars or Baftas.

As you might expect, the betting market list is extensive as punters can wager things such as who will win the EPL title next year, or what the final score of the local derby will be.

Online casino games

Okay, so, we’ve looked briefly at the sportsbook available at Highbet Sports, but what about the online casino? Well, don’t you worry yourselves because we’re getting to that now.

If you navigate your way over to the online casino, you’ll find an extensive selection of casino games to bet on, with popular games including things like Poker, Blackjack, Baccarat, and Roulette. There are more than 700 games to choose from in total, including plenty of slots.

Live table games

If you want more of an authentic casino experience without having to get dressed or get off the sofa, Highbet Sports have you covered because they have an extensive selection of live table games.

Live table games are games which are streamed live as they happen in HD, so players can essentially take part from the comfort of their own living rooms. Here a qualified live dealer will be present, along with real life opponents so you can enjoy the action live as it happens.

If you want the excitement of live roulette, or taking part in a live poker game against real opponents, you’ll love the extensive selection of live table games provided by Highbet.

Slots

Yes, we mentioned slots prior, but as you know, no casino, virtual or otherwise, would be complete without an extensive array of slot machines and Highbet is no exception.

Here, players can choose from more than 600 slots games as of this writing, with games themed around a whole host of different genres, including fantasy, pop culture, and horror. Expect to find all of the usual suspects here such as Gonzo’s Quest, Joker slots, and Starburst, along with some up and coming titles such as Reactoonz.

Highbet game providers

Another thing we like about Highbet is the fact that the site is home to some of the most reputable game providers in the business today, which only enhances the experience of the customer.

With more than 30 powerhouses of the gaming industry, including Netent, ELK, Microgaming, and Evolution Gaming, it’s easy to understand why people are so impressed with how the games look and function on the site.

Mobile betting

Of course, as we’re in the year 2022 every online casino worth using is mobile optimised, so we don’t need to cover that because of course Highbet is. What we will look at however, is how the site performs on a mobile device.

Well, the site is fast, responsive, and easy to navigate on a mobile device, and we’d even be tempted to suggest that it performs better than the desktop version.

The only downside for us is the fact that it lacks an IOS and Android app, but given that the site is barely a year old, we’d expect that to change in the near future.

Customer support

Before we wrap things up today, we’ll finish up by looking at the customer support provided by Highbet Sports.

Unfortunately this is where Highbet is lacking somewhat. While the agents themselves are very knowledgeable and friendly, the problem is the fact that the customer support team can only be reached between 7AM and 11PM. For comparison, many online casinos have 24/7 customer support.

There is also a lack of a telephone number so customer support can only be reached by email or live chat. If Highbet can address this, they’ll really be onto a winner.

Final thoughts

So, what do we think of Highbet Sports?

Well, we are very impressed. The site looks great, it’s full of fun games and sports to bet on, there are generous prizes, and there is heaps to keep you busy.

The only real complaint we have is the customer support availability, but other than that, it’s two thumbs up from us.
