forBET

The originally Polish bookmaker forBET entered the Czech market in 2022 under the company forBET online CZ s. r. o. While it is an established brand in Poland (operating since 2016) with an excellent mobile app (awarded the best Polish betting app in 2019), it is just getting started in our market and gaining its first clients. To raise its profile, the ambassador for the Czech Republic is Jan Koller. However, with its modest offer and a single bonus, it will have a tough time competing against the dominant Tipsport and Fortuna.

Registration

Before you can place a bet and request a free bonus, you need to register and then verify your identity and payment method. Since forBET does not operate brick-and-mortar branches in the Czech Republic, you will handle the entire process online using bank identity. Complete registration takes barely fifteen minutes. Start by clicking the green “Register” button on the bookmaker’s homepage and proceed as follows:

1. 1. Fill in the registration form – in the short form, you will enter a few personal details (name, surname, email, phone, citizenship, and date of birth), choose a username and password, and most importantly, check the box “I want to use the registration bonus”. You do not need to fill in a promo code. At the end of the form, you will also check that you agree with the terms and conditions and confirm the truthfully completed form by clicking “Confirm”.
   2. Verify your email address and phone number – click on the link sent to your email address provided during registration. If you did not receive the email, check your “Bulk messages” and “Spam” folders. After being redirected to the bookmaker’s website, fill in the PIN you received via SMS. At this point, you have a temporary account. You have 30 days to complete the full registration.
   3. Verify your identity using Bank ID – since forBET does not operate brick-and-mortar branches in the Czech Republic, you will need to verify your identity using bank identity.
   4. Verify and register the payment method – you register your bank account or card by uploading money to your account. You can also use the PayU payment gateway for verification.
   5. Set self-limiting limits – the final step is setting self-limiting rules. You can find this after logging into your account in the “Gaming limits” section.

The bookmaker forBET appeared on the Czech market in 2022, expanding from neighboring Poland. It is operated in our country by the company forBET online CZ s. r. o. In its homeland, forBET is a well-known name. Besides the high standard of services, this is also helped by its involvement in the sports world. It acts as a sponsor, for example, in the Polish Tennis Superleague, closely cooperates with the Polish Tennis Association, and has significant partnerships with football clubs Raków Częstochowa, Arka Gdynia, and ŁKS Łódź. forBET has also followed the football path in our country, having agreed on cooperation with Jablonec, whose players wear the bookmaker’s logo on their jerseys in the 2022/23 season. Another well-known name through which Czech bettors could register the company is the historically best scorer of the football national team Jan Koller. It is possible that more collaborations will be added in the future. It is true that forBET has not yet made a significant impact on the domestic market – unlike, for example, the Greek bookmaker Betano. We will see if anything changes, for example, with the upcoming mobile app for Czech bettors (in Poland, the forBET mobile app became the best betting app of 2019) or the expansion of the assortment to include an online casino and live games, for which the company has not yet obtained the necessary licenses. If you want to play, choose from the online casinos offer.

 2) Payout

Payout (or also payout rate) represents the percentage expression of the return on the bettor’s invested amount. The closer to 100%, the better for the bettor. The difference between 100% and the actual payout is the margin that the bookmaker charges on the given market. Payout, and therefore margin, will be entirely different in different markets, that is, depending on the sport, competition, opportunity, and prematch/live. Since information about the average payout does not reveal much to any bettor, we have selected several specific markets to demonstrate what payout to roughly expect. We chose popular sports (football, ice hockey, basketball, and tennis) and markets (bet on the winner, winner to decision, over/under, Asian handicap, draw no bet). We deliberately chose league competitions (tournaments) in contrast to show the difference in matches with a high volume of bets and vice versa.

Competition	Bet on the winner – 1X2	OVER/UNDER	Asian handicap
English Premier League	94.0 – 95.5%	95.0%	94.0%
Czech First League	94.0%	95.0%	94.0%
Japanese Second League	89.0%	90.0%	91.0%

 2.2) Ice hockey

Competition	Bet on the winner – 1X2	Winner to decision	OVER/UNDER
NHL	95.0%	95.0%	94.0%
Extraliga	95.0%	95.0%	94.0%
2nd League Finland	91.0%	93.0%	91.0%

 2.3) Basketball

Mobile betting and app

EDIT: The mobile app is now available! Czech bettors have not yet been able to enjoy the mobile app. Its launch is planned for 2023, so we should see it soon. We’ll see if it impresses the spoiled Czech bettors who are used to top apps from Tipsport, Fortuna, Betano, and others. Expectations are high. In Poland, the forBET app was voted the best betting app in 2019. Although the mobile app is not yet available, this does not prevent you from betting via mobile phone. The bookmaker’s website mobile.iforbet.cz is adapted for mobile browsers. The mobile web is faster and more user-friendly than the desktop version.

If you need to solve a problem, such as with your account or a wrongly evaluated bet slip, contact customer support. You can use their services via online chat, phone, or email. The fastest options are online chat and phone.
