Betano Sportsbook

Libor Bouček in the role of Betano ambassador

Betano is the first foreign bookmaker to obtain the necessary license from the Ministry of Finance and enter the Czech market after the change in the law. In addition to sports betting, it also offers its clients an online Vegas casino. The company’s roots can be traced back to 2012 in Greece. After establishing a strong position in its home country under the brand Stoiximan, the company’s management decided to expand into other countries under the Betano brand. Today, it operates in several countries in South America and Europe, including the Czech Republic, and continues to strengthen its position. Interestingly, about one-third of the company is owned by Czech billionaire Karel Komárek.

Betting markets

1) Sports and competitions

There are over 35 types of sports available for betting. Obligatory sports disciplines are complemented by less traditional ones that can be found at few bookmakers (e.g., surfing, padel, or specific Specials). Bettors will be highly satisfied when exploring individual competitions. No other bookmaker with a Czech license offers so many listed leagues and tournaments! In football, we are already used to various things (odds on league competitions in Macau or Angola no longer surprise anyone), but just click on, for example, the basketball or volleyball offer, and you will find that it is not a problem to bet on a basketball competition in Lebanon and Venezuela or a women’s volleyball league in Kazakhstan.

• 🥅 Sports: Football, Tennis, Ice hockey, Basketball, Table tennis, Alpine skiing, American football, Athletics, Badminton, Bandy, Baseball, Biathlon, Boxing, Curling, Cycling, Futsal, Golf, Handball, Classic skiing, Cricket, Lacrosse, MMA, Motorsports (Formula 1, Moto GP, Moto 2, Moto 3, IndyCar, NASCAR, etc.), Padel, Beach football, Beach volleyball, Speedway, Field hockey, Rugby, Speed skating, Ski jumping, Snooker, Surfing, Chess, Darts, Water polo, Volleyball
• 🎮 Esports: Arena of Valor / Kings of Glory, Counter-Strike, Dota 2, FIFA, League of Legends, NBA 2K, Rainbow Six, Rocket League, StarCraft, Valorant
• 📽️ Specials: Politics, Culture, Entertainment

2) Markets

What applies to competitions and tournaments also applies to markets. Popular competitions and matches offer hundreds of side markets. The uniqueness of side markets is appreciated whether you specialize in football, basketball, or baseball. Let’s list a few examples of side markets available for popular competitions:

• Basketball: total number of three-point/two-point shots made, total number of three-point/two-point shots, number of steals, number of turnovers, number of blocks, number of assists, etc. (these options are listed for the game overall, for individual teams, as well as for players!)
• Tennis: number of aces, number of double faults, number of breaks, total match (set) duration in minutes, etc.
• Ice hockey: number of shots on goal by a player, number of power play points, number of penalties, etc.
• ⚾ Baseball: number of hits by a player, number of bases earned, number of two-base hits, etc.

2.1) League winner – long-term bets

Another area where Betano outperforms the competition is long-term bets. For almost any competition for which Betano offers odds, you can place a long-term bet on the overall league winner (tournament in the case of tennis). And this does not only apply to football, hockey, and basketball, but also to rugby or water polo! For example, you can bet on the winner of the Italian or Hungarian water polo leagues. These markets for the winners of individual competitions can be found in the bookmaker’s menu in the separate section “League winner – long-term bets”. In addition to odds on the league winner, you can bet on a number of other long-term opportunities, such as the top scorer; the most valuable player of the competition; the better of the pair; the final pair; who will win their quarter of the tennis draw, etc. Pre-season draft opportunities (NBA, NHL, NFL, MLB) are also offered, for the best rookie, for making the playoffs, and many other markets!

2.2) Specials

And if the above-mentioned opportunities are not enough for you, try looking in the “Specials” section. This is an extended offer of long-term bets. Here you will find, for example, listed odds on whether a team will make it to the TOP 3, TOP 6, etc., or be relegated. There are also odds on how many goals a player will score in a season, etc. There are really plenty of similar delights here, so it doesn’t make sense to list them all. The best thing to do is to see for yourself.

3) Payout

Payout (or odds level) represents the percentage return on the bettor’s invested amount. The closer it is to 100%, the better for the bettor. The difference between 100% and the actual payout is the margin that the bookmaker charges on the market. The payout, and thus the margin, will be completely different across various markets, i.e., depending on the sport, competition, opportunity, and prematch/live. Because information about the average payout does not tell any bettor much, we have selected several specific markets to demonstrate what payout to expect roughly. We have chosen popular sports (football, ice hockey, basketball, and tennis) and markets (betting on the winner, winner until decision, over/under, Asian handicap). We have deliberately chosen league competitions (tournaments) in contrast to each other to show the difference between matches with a large volume of bets and vice versa.

Competition	Betting on the winner – 1X2	OVER/UNDER	Asian handicap
Premier League	95.0%	95.0%	96.0%
Fortuna Liga (Czech Republic)	94.0%	95.0%	96.0%
J2 League (Japan)	92.0%	93.0%	95.0%

3.2) Ice hockey

Competition	Betting on the winner – 1X2	Winner until decision	OVER/UNDER
NHL	95.5%	96.0%	95.0%
Extraliga (Czech Republic)	95.5%	96.0%	95.0%
Elite Ice Hockey League (UK)	93.0%	94.0%	93.0%

3.3) Basketball

Competition	Winner until decision	OVER/UNDER	Asian handicap
NBA	96.0%	95.0%	95.0%
EuroLeague	94.0%	94.0%	94.0%

Mobile betting and apps

Who wouldn’t want to have betting markets available anytime, anywhere? This idea is no longer just a dream but an everyday reality. Bookmakers are well aware of their bettors’ needs and strive to meet them. Mobile apps are one of the useful advancements of our time, and Betano has one of the best apps you will come across. You can download it on iOS (search for “Betano – Online Betting” in the App Store) and on Android (either on Google Play or on the website www.betano.cz/android and click the “Download our Android App” button). A huge advantage of the mobile app is the speed with which you can place a bet or start a live stream of your favorite team. On the first login, you can set up permanent login, so afterward, you just need to open the app and find the right opportunity to bet. You can perform all actions in the app that you can in the desktop version, such as depositing and withdrawing money, participating in Missions, viewing bet history, watching live streams, etc. Additionally, you can set up push notifications about your bets and easily switch between the sports betting and Vegas casino interfaces. If you think you don’t need the app, you can still bet from your mobile without it. Simply go to the Betano website in your browser and proceed as on the desktop version. However, nothing compares to the app!

Claim BONUS

Special offers

In addition to bonuses, you can also benefit from other promotions. And Betano makes sure there’s plenty to choose from. Several times a week, it offers themed Missions that reward you with free bets upon completion. It is essentially a bonus program from which every bettor can profit. Other offers include early payout of bet slips, MAX odds, or refunding your stake in the event of a goalless draw. But there is much more!

1) Missions

A simple and concise name that perfectly describes the essence of the promotion. Missions are a reward program for all Betano members. Simply complete the Mission and win a predefined reward.

• Explanation of Missions: Missions appear at the bottom of the screen based on your activity. You will see a new Mission, and if you decide to accept it, you will be immediately informed about the steps that will lead you to its completion and your reward!
• Example of a Mission: Place 3 live bets on Champions League matches between April 17th – 18th (each with a minimum value of €2 and odds higher than 1.50). Once all bets are settled, Betano will credit you with €5, regardless of the outcome of your bets.
• How to win: From the moment you indicate your participation in the Mission, you can place bets that bring you closer to the goal. In each step of the Mission, a progress indicator will appear after completing the step, and once you reach the final stage, you will be informed that the Mission has been completed. After completing all the necessary steps and evaluating your bets, you will receive the reward. The Mission reward is known from the beginning, so you decide whether to participate or wait for a new Mission.

2) Don’t Pay for Boredom

You shouldn’t pay for boredom, should you!? You might know this offer from other bookmakers as well. Bet on a football match, and in the event of a goalless draw, Betano will refund your stake. The offer applies to all football competitions! To be eligible for a refund for a 0:0 result, you must bet on one of these two opportunities:

• Halftime/fulltime result
• Exact score

3) Bet Builder

Another promotion that you can commonly find with other companies. The essence of Bet Builder is combining different opportunities from the same match on one bet slip.

• Example of Bet Builder: From the match Manchester City vs. Manchester United, you can include several different opportunities on one bet slip, e.g.: “Home win”, “Kevin De Bruyne to score” and “More than 8.5 corners”.
• How to create a bet using Bet Builder: First, you need to select the match you want to bet on, and then click the Bet Builder function. From the available opportunities that can be combined, you can choose 2 to 7 opportunities to add to the bet slip and create a Bet Builder.

4) Request a Bet

This functionality is quite common among foreign bookmakers, so it’s no surprise that Betano offers it. Try requesting a bet on any match, you can even try suggesting your own odds to the bookmakers. You can access the request form either through your account or through the “Offers” page. Send your requests at least 1 hour before the event you are interested in starts.

5) MAX Odds

MAX Odds is an offer that brings the best odds on the market for a few selected matches every day. You can recognize these matches by the “MK” symbol that marks them. Maximum odds are listed for the “Match winner” opportunity and usually have zero margin.

6) Early Payout

One of the best promotions that Betano offers its bettors is the early payout of the bet slip when your team/player gains a certain goal/point lead. It has already saved us many bet slips, and it will help you too! The essence of the promotion is simple: you bet on the match winner, and if your favorite gains a certain lead, Betano will automatically pay out your win without you having to wait for the match to end. You are eligible for early payout in football, ice hockey, tennis, basketball, American football, baseball, handball, and volleyball, with each sport having its specific rules. It usually applies only to the match winner bet and specific league competitions. Which ones are they? Check out the “Offers” section on the bookmaker’s website.

	Football	2 goals lead: The Csaplár’s trap won’t threaten you anymore
	Ice hockey	3 goals lead: Is your favorite team leading by 3 goals? Time to celebrate!
	Tennis	Decisive first set: 6-0 or 6-1 in the first set? You’ve just won!
	Basketball	20 points lead: Is your team leading by 20 points? Your bet is successful!
	American football	17 points lead: Is your team leading by 17 points? Your bet is successful!
	Baseball	5 runs lead: Is your favorite team leading by 5 runs? The win is yours!
