MobileBet isn’t the first name you’d think of if you were asked about the world’s top online casinos, as thanks to their fantastic sports betting reputation MobileBet is often disregarded when it comes to the casino side of things.
As you will see, however, MobileBet is much more than just a sports book; and for online casino fans it’s a site you would be well advised to look into, and in this post we will explain why.
Casino Games
MobileBet offer a wide range of games for you to enjoy, and titles are available from most of the world’s largest and most popular software providers, including: NetEnt, Microgaming, Playtech, Play‘N Go, Evolution Gaming (live dealer games only), Yggdrasil, Quickspin, and WMS.
All of the games are found within the ‘Casino’ section of the website which is located alongside the ‘Sportsbook’ and ‘Poker’ tabs on the top most navigation bar, and you can further refine the choice by using the game category menu. Games can be categorised by theme, type (table, slots, jackpots etc), and more.
All of the games at MobileBet are offered in what’s known instant play, which is basically a simplified way of saying they require no software or plugin installations; instant play games open up directly in your internet browser.
Unfortunately, there isn’t yet an option to filter the games by the developer/software provider, and while this probably won’t affect the average player, those who have an intimate knowledge of who makes what game may find this justifiably annoying – narrowing down the selection by developer is a fairly common option by today’s standards.
Still, despite a couple of minor niggles, MobileBet Casino is pretty impressive when it comes to selection, and you’ll find hundreds of games to choose from spanning a wide number of categories.
Jackpots
Jackpots, however, is an area where MobileBet let themselves down somewhat.
It’s not that there aren’t jackpot games available, it’s more that the range of jackpot games is anticlimactic considering they feature so many games and developers elsewhere. Still, lack of range aside, MobileBet offer most of the main titles from Playtech and NetEnt, which means you’ve got games like Jackpot Giant (currently boasting a whopping £3.5 Million jackpot), all the way to NetEnt’s Mega Fortune, which is known for awarding the biggest online slot jackpot in history.
To find the jackpot games, simply head to the ‘Casino’ tab, then choose ‘Jackpot’ from the list of options available to you. You’ll also find all jackpot games nested in their relevant game section as well; so for example, slot games with a jackpot can be found both under the ‘Jackpots tab and the ‘Slots’ tab.
Live Dealers
MobileBet use Evolution Gaming for their live casino, and if you’ve ever had the pleasure of playing Evolution’s games before, you’ll know how reliable, secure, and easy to use they are. In fact, as well as being a leader in the live gaming industry, Evolution Gaming are popular for a couple of other reasons too.
Firstly, their games offer low-stakes playing, often allowing you to play hands from as little as £5, and with Roulette bets as low as £0.20 for the inner-sections of the wheel.
They also run 24/7, which means that unlike some of the live dealer game platforms like Playtech, you’ll never find yourself faced with closed tables.
The ability to play behind is also beneficial, as this ensures that even when there’s a full table of players at the Blackjack, you can ‘piggyback’ on another player’s hand, so you never have to wait for a seat to become available.
The Website
MobileBet’s website is probably best suited to players who have a more intimate knowledge of the casino website world, and this is for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, the site was initially built to offer sports betting facilities, and this means it’s taken on a bit of a dated look and feel. Secondly, the interface isn’t quite as user friendly as some of the other sites which are geared towards newbies.
This shouldn’t put you off from joining as it isn’t hard to use, it can just take a bit of getting used to, but it’s worth knowing at the outset, as the interface could do with a bit of work to make it more user friendly if you ask us.
Still, aside from a few design issues, MobileBet’s website is fast, reliable, and sturdy; and thanks to the inclusion of (mostly) HTML5 games, it doesn’t matter what type of computer you play from, as all operating systems are supported with nothing to download or install.
Mobile Casino
While you won’t find a mobile app, you will still be able to enjoy a reliable, efficient, and secure mobile gaming experience at MobileBet, and this is thanks to the mobile site which they have evidently spent a lot of time, money, and effort developing. Well, given their name they would have to wouldn’t they.
To access the mobile casino, simply head to the MobileBet Casino website as normal on your phones browser, and you’ll be automatically re-directed to a mobile friendly version of the site.
This mobile site allows new players to quickly open an account, and if you’re already a member you can log in using your existing credentials and begin playing.
The mobile site is fast too, and it’s supported on almost all mobile devices and internet browsers. Plus, with around 90% of the game range on offer, it’s also one of the more comprehensive mobile sites we’ve seen in terms of game selection.
Payments & Limits
The banking/cashier section at MobileBet is definitely one of the better ones that we have come across, largely thanks to the wide range of payment methods which are available to you.
While the specific methods available vary dependant on your country, you’ll generally find that the majority of Debit cards are accepted, and you’ll also benefit from a number of EWallets like Skrill and Neteller, alongside some pre-paid voucher schemes and virtual debit card systems.
You’ll also find yourself able to deposit, play, and withdraw in a number of different currencies, most notably: British Pound Sterling, Euros, Swedish Kroners, Norwegian Kroner, Australian Dollars, and – despite not allowing US players – US Dollars.
Withdrawals are generally processed within around 12 hours, although during peak times this can take up to 72 hours. Betting limits vary depending on the market/game you’re trying to play, as well as your account standing, but further details on this can be found by asking support or viewing a specific game/market for the most up to date limits and bet caps.
History & About
MobileBet is a popular online sportsbook and casino, and with licenses granted by both the United Kingdom’s Gambling Commission and the Malta Gaming Authority, the site offered betting and gaming to hundreds of thousands of players from Europe, plus a few overseas territories. However, in 2019 they left the UK market.
Despite being known primarily for its sports book, the site has begun to make a name for itself within the casino world as well, and this is mainly thanks to the game variety and wide choice of titles at the site.
While the company have been in operation for over a decade, it’s only recently that they have begun gaining any real traction, though it’s easy to see how trusted and respected the brand is when looking at how many players have joined the casino over the last few years, despite the few downsides mentioned in this post.
Overall, while there is scope for improvement, MobileBet offer a player focused service, and it’s likely we’ll hear a lot more about the site in the coming weeks and months, thanks to its rapidly growing player base, and the respect the brand commands.
