ReloadBet Esports Review

Overview

ReloadBet is one of the latest hits on the esports betting scene, with the bookmaker having been established in 2018 by a team of professionals with a lot of experience in the online gambling industry. This site is owned and operated by Media Entertainment N.V, a company registered in Curaçao.

Read on for our in-depth review of the site and find out everything there is to know – both the good and bad!

Registration Process 4/5

Despite occupying the entire screen, setting up your account with ReloadBet is not that hard – in fact, it’s not too different from the process across most of the  esports betting sites online. There are small pop-ups guiding you all throughout.

As it can be seen from the above image, basic information such as first and last name, gender, email, mobile number, and date of birth is required. You will also have to provide a valid address, including your street, city, and postal code. Lastly, type in the username you want, create a password, choose your currency, and you are done.

Deposits and Withdrawal Options 5/5

Given the fact that a lot of esports bookmakers offer their customers a lot of different deposit and withdrawal methods, ReloadBet had to do the same thing if they wanted to stand up to the competition. Alongside standard payment methods for deposit and withdrawal methods such as Visa and Mastercard, you can also deposit and withdraw via different electronic wallets such as Skrill and NETELLER.

When it comes to other options, you can also use Rapid, AstroPay, paysafecard, or even Neosurf. To make things even better, cryptocurrencies are also supported, including popular options such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and even Tether.

From what we were able to find out, there are no deposit fees for any of the payment methods we listed above. As for the limits, the lowest amount of funds you can deposit into your ReloadBet account is €/$10. Certain deposit options have maximum limits as well – the Mastercard maximum is set to €/$800 per deposit, while AstroPay and NETELLER come with much higher maximum deposits of €/$100000 and €/$15000.

In this ReloadBet esports review, we want to be honest. The fact is, withdrawals will take a while, with traditional methods like credit cards possibly taking up to 48 hours. However, e-wallets are slightly faster and you can get your winnings within one day.

Cryptocurrencies are by far the fastest payout method, allowing you to withdraw your winnings instantly.

It is also important that you complete the verification process, which usually takes around 72 hours. This is a standard procedure required by all legitimate betting sites, and is there so that ReloadBet comply with industry regulations and safeguards its own operations and the safety of their customers.

The verification process basically means that you need to validate your identity and residence – the easiest way to do the former is to upload a photo of either your ID card or passport to the relevant site email. Proof of address can be verified through a recent and stamped bank statement or utility bill.

Open Account Offer 5/5

From our perspective, this one of the best welcome bonuses that you can find online. While most of these promotions are capped around €/$80, the one at ReloadBet is capped at €/$120 – i.e., the maximum amount you can deposit in order to claim a 100% bonus.

There are also several other promos available for existing customers. Even though some of these are tied to casino, there are many reload bonuses that can be claimed during the weekends.

Here is a step-by-step guide that will help you claim the ReloadBet welcome offer:

1. Head over to the navigation bar on the homepage. There, you will find the “promotions” section.
   
2. On the very top of the promotions page, you will find a heading titled “100% Sportsbook Welcome Bonus”. You can click on either the “Deposit now” button to automatically claim this bonus straight away, or you can navigate to “More information” that will take you to the terms and conditions of this offer. We strongly suggest that you do the latter first so that you know exactly what you’re getting into (this goes for all promotions in general).
   
3. Once you read through the terms and conditions, click on the “Deposit now” button and choose the payment method you wish to use. The bonus funds will then be automatically credited to your account.

Sportsbook Promotions 5/5

When compiling this ReloadBet esports review, we were not expecting to see so many active promotions available. Even though some of these are not available for esports bettors, there are plenty that are.

Before we go any further, bear in mind that any bonuses described here can change in the future or be removed at the site altogether – it’s always best to keep an eye on the promotions page to remain up to date with what’s on offer.

Without further ado, let’s get straight into it.

100% Reload Bonus

Granted as a free bet and available to use on esports, this promotion comes with a catch – you need to use MiFinity as a payment method in order to claim it. In addition, the lowest deposit that qualifies for this bonus is €/$20. 

The highest amount of funds you can get from this bonus is €/$100.

To nab this promo, you’ll need to contact live chat or send an email to customer support. Do not forget to include the required bet reference ID so you can be credited properly.

€/$500 Weekly Sports Cashback

With this weekly cashback on sports betting, 10% of the total deposits you make from Monday till Sunday will be given back to you. Bear in mind that the maximum cashback you can claim from this promotion is €/$500.

Once again, in order to claim this bonus, you need to reach out via live chat or email. Additionally, this bonus can only be requested from Monday till Tuesday.

€100 Weekly Boiling Point

Every Thursday at ReloadBet you will be rewarded with a reload bonus of 30% up to €/$100 on deposits made.

To be eligible for the bonus, the deposit must be wagered in full with a minimum odds of 2.00. Before claiming the bonus, all bets must be settled.

Another important piece of information is the qualifying deposit, which is set to €/$50 or more.

The Weekly Boiling Point bonus is awarded as a free bet and maxes out at 100€/$, and can be claimed via live chat or by email.

VIP Programme/Loyalty Scheme

We were surprised to learn that ReloadBet offer no VIP programme for their customers. However, if you take a closer look at the bonuses we talked about above, you can clearly see that there are plenty of other ways to get more bang for your buck!

Pre-Match Offer 2/5

Almost all esports at ReloadBet will be available for pre-match bets, live betting and of course, outright betting. When it comes to outrights, CS:GO and Dota 2 are completely covered.

Unfortunately, the decimal odds are the only format we were able to find on the site. For users that are used to other types of odds such as American or even fractional, this may put off many, as there are other operators that offer multiple odds formats. In all honesty, we think this is something ReloadBet needs to work on.

We also didn’t find much information about the bets and markets we were interested in. When it comes to doing research, ReloadBet esports section will not come in handy as only dates and start times are available.

Betting Options

Most esports events are covered, but there is a small problem with the number of additional bets this operator provides. While the majority of top-tier leagues and tournaments come with a decent number of prop bets, lower leagues and tourneys are only covered with the standard Match Winner market.

There are around 10 active esports you can wager on, starting with MOBA titles like League of Legends and Dota 2, all the way to the FPS games such as CS:GO, VALORANT, and even Call of Duty.

Meanwhile, some of you may appreciate there are no limits to the maximum amount of money you can wager on particular matches.

Other Betting Options

If you enjoy novelty bets, there is plenty to enjoy at ReloadBet. The site has a specific “Entertainment” section where you can bet on upcoming elections, the Red Bull International Final Battle, and much more!

Cash Out & Bet Builder

The cash out feature has now become a standard across most betting sites, and ReloadBet is no different.

The way this tool works is simple. Place a wager on single or multiple selections. If things looks as though they are going against you, ReloadBet will allow you a chance to cash out what you’ve won so far and recover as many of your winnings as you can, albeit not the full amount.

For some bets, this option can come in handy if you placed an unusual bet on a promising underdog that had an excellent start.

We also need to talk about the site’s bet builder. Overall, it is really easy to use, with plenty of options to incorporate such as as single bets, multi-bets, and even various system bets. Yet again, we did not see any limits imposed while placing bets either on the singles or multi-bets.

Live Offer 2/5

We have to say that we did not find ReloadBet’s live offer to be very appealing, with only top leagues and esports titles like League of Legends, CS:GO, and Dota 2 covered. This is not the standard we’ve come to expect in this day and age, so we do think there is considerable room for improvement here.

There are very few markets available for live bets, marking the first time we encountered some type of a limit in regards to bets placement.

On addition, if you were looking forward to watching any livestreams on ReloadBet, you will not find this option available. Basically, you will have to scroll through Twitch in order to watch the match you’ve placed a wager on.

However, we have to give credit where credit is due – the odds here are stacked, and are on par with some of the biggest names in the industry.

Security 5/5

A lot of emphasis has been put on keeping your personal and banking information safe at ReloadBet.

The operator uses standard SSL technology that provides the necessary encryption of your sensitive data. Moreover, as they hold a gambling licence from Curaçao, ReloadBet have successfully established themselves as a legal and legitimate business.

In the site’s privacy policy you can find detailed information about the handling of your information and how cookies are used.

When it comes to responsible gambling, ReloadBet have dedicated an entire section to protecting punters with various links to relevant resources. You can also request self-exclusion via email should you feel the need to do so.

Service and Customer Support 5/5

There are to main ways of getting in touch with ReloadBet: either via live chat that is available 24/7, or via email.

We were amazed at how good live chat is here, which you can access even if you don’t have an account. It is also important to mention that you can choose the language (English, German, Russian, Polish, Swedish, Portuguese, Italian, and Spanish) you want to communicate in.

Our simple queries were answered really fast and in a polite manner. All in all, the customer agent that took care of us was professional and she knew what she was doing.

However, it took us longer to receive a response through email – roughly around 12 hours. All in all, though, this is common practice and nothing out of the ordinary.

There is also a useful FAQ section with questions and answers on opening an account to deposits and withdrawals, placing bets, security explanations, and other common queries.

Design and Usability 4/5

If you are looking for a simple and classic design, then ReloadBet more than rises to the occasion. It is very easy to navigate around the site and everything that is of great importance is just a couple of clicks away.

Moreover, everything is placed in boxes and squares which allows you to find what you are looking for easily. We would even venture to say that this is one of the most user-friendly betting sites on the market right now.

ReloadBet can be translated into eight different languages:

• English
• Italian
• German
• Polish
• Russian
• Swedish
• Spanish
• Portuguese

Mobile 3/5

At the time of writing this ReloadBet review, this operator does not offer a mobile app. However, you can still access the mobile site through your device’s browser, which is actually pretty solid in regards to speed and functionality and contains all the same tools, features, options, and promotions as its desktop counterpart.

Other Products 4/5

There is a wide range of other betting options available at ReloadBet. First and foremost, the casino section is excellent. Alongside traditional slots, you can also enjoy table games such as blackjack and poker with plenty of bonuses available to claim.

Alongside a dedicated casino section, you can also place wagers on virtual sports. At the time of writing, ReloadBet betting on virtuals covers motorbike and speedway races, greyhounds, and horse racing. On top of that, there are also virtual football leagues and tournaments.

Casino Bonus Description – 100% up to €/$300

Summary 4/5

ReloadBet definitely covers all the basics, with competitive odds across a solid range of esports markets. On top of that, you can claim a wide range of bonuses and other promotions to boost your bankroll significantly.

However, we do think that the live betting options do need a vast improvement, and it would be nice to see the addition of a VIP programme for loyal customers too. Punters on the go would also appreciate the addition of a mobile app, though the mobile site does the job and then some.

All in all, while there are a few gaps that need filling, we’d say that ReloadBet is doing a pretty decent job thus far.
