ESC Online certainly jumps of the page with the biggest sportsbook welcome offer in the market. Don’t get too far ahead of yourself, as you’ll need to run the gauntlet in order to fully take advantage of this bonus – you can read more on this below. Apart from their welcome offer ESC Online does a lot of things right, and is one of the few Portuguese operators with a full sportsbook, casino, and poker section.
ESC Online really shines with their variety. The sportsbook has a good selection of events and markets (including asian handicap) along with frequent promotions. You can find ACCA boosts, weekly cashback, free bets, and monthly tournaments. For those looking for more than just sports betting, you’re in the right place, as the brand is one of the best in the market when it comes to casino and poker games. Promotions are plentiful here as well, with exclusive welcome bonuses for both casino and poker along with weekly and monthly promotions. They even have a separate app for poker which runs smoothly.
Overall ESC Online is a well rounded product for all types of players, but beware of their promotions as some come with extensive turnover requirements.

ESC Online’s welcome offer is a rather complicated, and very difficult to claim the full bonus amount. Here is the breakdown:
The free bets are not awarded at a 100% match of your initial deposit. They’re awarded in the following structure:
Deposits between €10 and €19.99 → 1 x €10 Free Bet
Deposit between €20 and €29.99 → 2 x €10 Free Bets
Deposit between €30 and €39.99 → 3 x €10 Free Bets
â‹®
Deposit €250 or more → 25 x €10 Free Bets
The free bets are initially locked, and must be released through wagering. For every €20 you wager with odds 2.0 and above, a €10 free bet is unlocked. Note that you don’t need to wager in €20 increments, for example if you wager €100 then you will unlock 5 €10 free bets.
Once free bets are unlocked they must be used on events with minimum odds of 3.0. Sadly, any winnings from free bets come with wagering requirements, which is another point of confusion. The wagering requirements are variable based on what odds you are playing. Here is the breakdown:
- Odds between 1.40 and 1.80: Wager 12x
- Odds between 1.81 and 2.20: Wager 6x
- Odds 2.21 or higher: Wager 3x
So effectively the minimum wagering requirement you’re looking at is 5x:
- 1 x €20 wager to unlock the bonus
- 1 x wager with the actual free bet
- 3 x wagering with the free bet winnings on odds 2.21
Of course the requirements could end up being much higher depending on what you play on.
Overall the high bonus amount makes us give some credit to ESC Online, but the difficult wagering requirements ultimately make us score this welcome bonus poorly.Â
