New customers at BetBeast can receive a 20% first deposit bonus of up to €100 when they deposit at least €20.
BetBeast casino and sportsbook was founded in 2023 and is owned and operated by Dama N.V., who are based in Curaçao. You can access the BetBeast sportsbook via their website or dedicated app, which can be downloaded directly from the BetBeast homepage. BetBeast has over 50 different sports available to bet on, including popular favourites such as football, basketball and tennis, but also more hard-to-find sports such as chess, freestyle wrestling and compound archery. The most popular sporting events have over 200 different bet selections available, so there is plenty to choose from. Live betting is available for a number of different sports, but there does not appear to be any live streaming for sports as of yet.
While BetBeast is still building its reputation in the sports betting world and may not be everyone’s cup of tea, many customer reviews praise their excellent customer service.
BetBeast is owned and operated by Dama N.V and licensed by the Curaçao Gaming Control Board (License No. OGL/2023/174/0082). This license means that you can be confident that BetBeast will handle your data securely, provide a secure payment system and host verified games. While they are licensed to operate as an online casino and sportsbook, BetBeast makes it clear that the onus is on the user to ensure that they are abiding by the gambling rules and regulations of the country they live in, so customers from Switzerland must check that they are gambling in accordance with Swiss law. Dama N.V. has been subject to some sanctions by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) but this does not relate to BetBeast or their operations in Switzerland.
Navigating the BetBeast site isn’t as easy as it could be; popular sports are easy to find but other sports are somewhat hidden behind an unmarked icon, which took some clicking around to find. However, the search menu is exceptionally effective and users can search for a sport, league, club or player name to quickly locate the events they want to bet on.
Customers can also use the favourites menu by clicking the star icon next to specific events or leagues, which will then save for them to revisit later via the “Favourites” tab, without having to hunt through all of the available sports and events to find them again. While the aesthetic design of the website is generally quite dark, the menu colours do complement the theme well, so that you can easily see which section you are currently viewing.
The account menu is easy to find and navigate, with functions like deposits and withdrawals easy to locate within the “Wallet” section, where users can choose from a wide range of different payment options. Personal details are also easy to find and edit. You can also view your current bonuses and betting history from this menu, as well as implementing the useful safer gambling tools that BetBeast makes available to their customers.
While the mobile version of the BetBeast site is sufficient to make deposits and place bets, users may prefer to download the dedicated app to make their smartphone betting experience more enjoyable. This can be downloaded directly from the website.
As previously mentioned, the design of the BetBeast site could be better. Some things are well thought out: They have handy links to all upcoming events from the “schedule” tab and just below that you can keep abreast of scores in the “results” section. There is also an “In-Play” tab to navigate straight to the currently available live markets. However, the full list of sports available to bet on in the sportsbook is not at all intuitive to find, hidden behind a kebab menu icon next to the main sports at the top of the sportsbook.
It is easy to change the display language should you wish to from a drop down menu at the very bottom left hand corner of the page (the site can be accessed in three languages; English, German and Norwegian), and just above that is a link to install the BetBeast app. The odds format can be easily changed from the drop down menu at the top right hand corner of the sportsbook.
Supported languages at BetBeast
BetBeast offer a wide range of deposit methods, including credit cards, Ewallets and cryptocurrencies. Deposits can be made in a range of different currencies including EUR, USD, AUD, CAD, NZD, NOK, BRL, INR, JPY, PLN, RUB, ZAR, BTC, BCH, ETH, LTC, DOG and USDT. Euros would be the logical choice for Swiss customers, as Swiss Francs are not supported. You choose your currency at the point of registration, but this can be changed when you make your deposit, should you wish to deposit using a different currency. Minimum deposit amounts vary by payment method, but they are generally much lower for cryptocurrencies than they are for fiat methods, which tend to start at €20. Regardless of the method you use, there are no fees to pay on deposits at BetBeast.
There are also no fees for withdrawals, provided that customers wager their deposit at least three times before requesting a withdrawal. BetBeast do not give any timescales for withdrawals; instead they “aim to process withdrawals as quickly as possible” and promise to keep customers up to date with the status of their withdrawal and will notify them once their withdrawal has been processed.
Other than the minimum amounts there are no particular requirements to withdraw your funds (unless of course you are playing through bonus funds, in which case wagering requirements must be completed first) but you are very likely to be asked to provide verification documents at some point before your first withdrawal is processed. Therefore, it is generally a good idea to provide these even before they are asked for, to speed things up when you do come to make your first withdrawal.
Customers are required to provide BetBeast with a variety of personal information when they open their account. This includes their name, date of birth, country of residence, address, phone number and email address. You may also be required to provide some proof of identification and address for identity checks as part of KYC anti-money laundering procedures. BetBeast are clear about how they use this information in their Privacy Policy, where they also detail how seriously they take the responsibility of keeping your data and how they strive to keep it safe. Access to such data is only provided to BetBeast employees on a need-to-know basis.
Accounts can only be accessed by customers using their user ID and password. Users are able to set up two-factor authentication to further protect their account. It is the users’ responsibility to keep their password safe, and they can change their password at any time via the main account menu, should they need to.
There are over 50 different sports available to bet on at BetBeast, although not all sports listed have betting markets available all of the time. As well as the most popular sports such as football, basketball and ice hockey, there are also markets available on sports such as pelota, sumo and floorball.
All of the major world football leagues are available to bet on, including the English Premier League, French Ligue 1 and German Bundesliga, as well as the Swiss Super League and Challenge League. There are plenty of different bet selections available within each event, with over 350 on offer for each EPL match.
In addition to the sports markets, there are also markets available for world politics, music and entertainment, along with some reality television shows.
There are over 50 different sports available to bet on at BetBeast:
Generally, the odds quality at BetBeast is pretty average when compared to other online betting sites available to Swiss bettors. BetBeast does not appear to offer any enhanced odds or odds boost promotions, but there are deposit bonuses available. It’s easy to calculate your potential win, as this is clearly displayed on the bet slip when you enter your stake, so you can check that you are happy with this before confirming your bet. Odds are displayed in decimal form as standard, but BetBeast have made it exceptionally easy for customers to change how odds are displayed, with a drop down menu which is clearly displayed at the top right of the sportsbook. Users can choose between six different odds types; European, British, American, Hong Kong, Indonesian and Malay.
There are no specific bet limits at BetBeast; their Terms and Conditions state that bet limits vary from sport to sport, event to event and market to market, and can change without prior written notice. BetBeast do offer a cashout feature on selected markets, but it cannot be used on bets placed with bonus funds.
There are a range of bonuses for both new and existing Swiss players at BetBeast.
New customers at BetBeast can receive a 20% first deposit bonus of up to €100 when they deposit at least €20. We’ve already covered this promotion at the top of this article but to recap, it is just for new customers making their first deposit at BetBeast.
The good news is that the bonus funds can be used to bet on any market of any event; the bad news is that it can only be used on bet selections with odds of between 1.00 and 2.00, so that narrows the choice considerably. It also needs to be used within 7 days, although this is in line with most bonuses from online bookmakers.
BetBeast have several sportsbook promotions for returning customers, but they are all reliant on users making further deposits to their betting account, and vary in terms of value:
Customers can get a 10% bonus on their second deposit when they deposit at least €20. Just like the first deposit bonus, the bonus funds can be spent on any market or sport, provided that the bet selection has odds of between 1.00 and 2.00. Remember the bonus is worth 10% of the value of your second deposit, so if you deposit €20, you will receive a €2 Free bet; you will need to deposit a hefty €2,500 in order to receive the full €250 bonus available.
The third deposit bonus is a little more generous than the second, with customers receiving a Free bet to the value of 15% of their third deposit. Once again, the Free bet must be used on a single bet selection with odds of between 1.00 and 2.00, and must be used within 7 days. The minimum amount you can deposit to make use of this promotion is €20, which will earn you a €3.50 Free bet. The maximum bonus you can receive for this offer is €150.
BetBeast have tightened their belts when it comes to the bonus of your fourth deposit, which is to the value of 5% of your deposit of at least €20. As before, you can use this bonus Free bet on any event and any market, provided the odds are between 1.00 and 2.00, and you must make sure you’ve placed your bonus bet within 7 days of receiving the bonus, or it will become invalid.
As BetBeast’s bonuses are all deposit bonuses, the Terms and Conditions are broadly the same for all of them. While it is important for customers to take the time to read these Terms and Conditions for themselves, we have picked out some of the key points that users will need to keep in mind when taking advantage of the deposit bonuses available at BetBeast.
Bets placed with bonus funds must have odds of between 1.00 and 2.00, and cashouts are not available for bets placed with Free bet bonuses. The Free bet feature is only available for ‘Sports’ and ‘Live Betting’ sections of the BetBeast sportsbook, so you won’t be able to use your Free bets for anything else. Free bet bonuses must be used within 7 days of being credited, so make sure you use them before they expire.
BetBeast have a mobile app which is available to download directly from the BetBeast website (the link can be found at the bottom of the main menu on the right hand side of the screen). There are no benefits to using the BetBeast mobile app over the desktop site (or the mobile version of said site) as all of the promotions, betting markets and odds values are the same. It simply comes down to personal preference as to which you prefer as a user.
There are a number of sports available to bet on In-Play at BetBeast, including football, tennis, ice hockey, basketball, volleyball, table tennis, futsal, badminton, darts and snooker. When comparing odds value on the same event both pre-match and In-Play, we found the odds value to be slightly worse for live betting markets, but only marginally. There does not appear to be any live streaming available at BetBeast, although there may be some live graphics to help bettors keep track of the action. Unfortunately for our reviewer, these screens would not load so we cannot comment on the quality of them. One plus point was that the live markets were rarely suspended in the time that we were online.
While it is unlikely that you will ever need them, BetBeast does have a super customer service team at your disposal. In the first instance, there is a comprehensive help and FAQ section which can be accessed via the link in the footer of the website homepage. This covers topics such as how to verify your account, details about sportsbook bonuses, how to get started with the sportsbook or depositing using cryptocurrency, and responsible gambling limits.
Most customer queries can be answered using the help section but if you still have a more nuanced issue that is not covered there, BetBeast’s customer service team can be contacted 24/7 via both Live Chat and Email. The Live Chat feature is initially run by AI, but if you type that you want to speak to a human, you are quickly passed to a real life customer service representative who will help you to resolve your issue.
BetBeast have a Responsible Gambling page which is accessed via the link in the footer of the website. Here, users can find information on the different safer gambling measures that BetBeast have available to help their customers keep gambling as an enjoyable pastime, rather than a problematic addiction. All of these tools can also be controlled easily by the customer themselves, via the ‘Responsible Gambling’ tab of their account menu, making BetBeast one of the best betting sites we’ve found available to Swiss customers when it comes to responsible gambling.
One of the most basic tools a bettor can use to ensure that they are keeping gambling as an affordable pastime is a deposit limit. In their own account menu, BetBest customers can set daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits of any amount. This will help bettors to set a betting budget, and stick to it.
Another useful tool is the session limit. Customers can set their session limit from anywhere between 6 and 999,999 minutes, and will be logged out of their BetBeast account automatically, once the time is up. Of course, you can always log in again, but it may help to break a cycle of gambling or help you to realise that you may have spent longer than intended on the site.
BetBeast customers can also set loss limits and wager limits via their account, but these are currently only applicable to the BetBeast casino, not the sportsbook.
For anyone who feels that gambling is becoming a problem for them, there are links to helpful organisations on the Responsible Gambling page. It is also possible for customers to set a ‘cooling off limit’ or ‘self-exclusion limit’, should they feel they need a break from gambling. A cooling off period can be between one day and six months. During a cooling off period, customers can still log into their account but will not be able to deposit funds, and will also not receive any promotions. At the end of the cooling off period, the account will automatically be reactivated, and if a customer wants to access their account sooner, they can request to do so.
Self-exclusion is a more permanent measure. At BetBeast, a self-exclusion period can be from one day to permanently. While your account is closed, you will not be able to log in at all, and you cannot request to reopen your account sooner; instead you will need to wait until the full time period has elapsed. Even after this time, you will need to contact BetBeast customer support in order to reopen your account.
Many customer reviews of BetBeast are positive, with customers praising the excellent service they receive from customer support. Customers also comment on how swift the verification process is and how the service team work to find a fair outcome to any problems, which is positive. The only negative review I have found was from a customer having issues with their withdrawal. Unfortunately, BetBeast do not appear to interact publicly with reviews, so it is hard to know whether this customer’s problem has been resolved.
The BetBeast affiliate scheme is operated by Thrill Partners, who offer between 25% and 45% revenue share to affiliates, depending on the number of referrals they make. Sports commissions work on the following tiers:
Affiliates can choose between various reward plans including CPA and Hybrid. Once you are approved, you will be able to publicise BetBet using your affiliate link across your website or social media platforms. Affiliates can also recruit sub-affiliates and gain commission as a result. There’s no negative carry over from month to month, and your personal affiliate statistics are updated every hour, with clicks updated in real-time, so you can keep a close eye on how your link is doing. Affiliate payments are made monthly via a range of different payment methods, including crypto.
In conclusion, BetBeast has a lot to offer Swiss bettors, with the site available to access in both English and German, currency options including EUR and cryptocurrencies and an enticing welcome bonus. There are plenty of different payment options available, and reasonable value odds on both pre-match and In-Play markets, with over 50 different sports available to bet on alongside politics, TV and entertainment, all backed up by friendly and responsive 24/7 customer support.
