SapphireBet

SapphireBet utilises the 1xBet platform, and while it looks a bit outdated, it ultimately delivers a diverse and competitive gaming experience. The brand hosts a deep sportsbook and casino product, along with poker, lottery, and bingo. It really is a one-stop shop for those who like to play a bit of everything.

First Impressions

For those unfamiliar with the 1xBet skin, SapphireBet’s interface can feel a little overwhelming at first. You will see dedicated sections for sports, live betting, casino, jackpot, bonuses, and “more”, which includes several different betting categories. Registration is quick and easy, with the option to sign up via phone number, email, or a simple “one-click” signup that does not require any KYC documentation. Be aware that KYC will still be required before making a withdrawal – that’s something you can count on.

Despite the initial overwhelming impression, once you get the hang of the navigation you will find SapphireBet easy to use. The site is fast, and the variety of bets and gaming products delivers a top-notch experience.

SapphireBet Sportsbook & Casino

Variety continues to be a strong suit at SapphireBet’s sportsbook. Markets that can sometimes be overlooked, such as horse racing and cricket, are well supported with events from across the globe. Football receives the best treatment, with thousands of matches every day, deep markets, and consistently competitive odds. The only real complaints from us are the lack of streaming options, which are typically limited to esports and virtual sports. There is also no bet builder feature, which could be a deal-breaker if you enjoy building same-game multis.

The casino is no different, with plenty of variety on offer. Slots, live tables, and crash games are all well represented. That said, we were missing exclusive tables, and navigation within the slots section could certainly be improved.

SapphireBet Promotions

Promotions are worth a mention, as there are plenty of good offers available. If nothing else, it is worth having a SapphireBet account to take advantage of some of these deals. Here are a few of our favourites right now:

• Free bet up to €10 for downloading the SapphireBet app. If you are a mobile player, you should download the app regardless, and this promo is just a nice extra. To unlock the free bet, you need to place 10 bets of €10 on any event with odds of 1.30 or higher. After your tenth bet is placed, the free bet is unlocked. An easy bonus to claim even for casual players.
• Weekly cashback. This promo gives all users 3% cashback on net losses every week, up to €859. The main terms are minimum odds of 1.50 and that bets on totals or handicaps do not qualify. Otherwise, it’s as straightforward as they come.
• 50% deposit match bonus for casino every Wednesday. This reload bonus applies to slot games only and is available every week. The bonus cash must be wagered 40x within 24 hours, with a max bet size of €5. A must-claim for frequent slot players.

While these bonuses are solid, they’re not the best we’ve ever seen. We would like to see the brand become even more generous in the future.

Verdict

SapphireBet delivers a well-rounded betting experience to players from across the globe. Its international approach does come with some downsides, however, as certain regions are more neglected than others when it comes to local payment methods, betting markets, and specific features. That said, it should be a suitable option for most players, and if nothing else the promotions make it worth while to have an account.
