There’s an extensive Sportsbook available at Spinstar for customers in Ireland. In addition to sports, customers can also enjoy a Casino facility, which features a huge range of slots and games alongside a live casino option. Promotions are offered in abundance for casino players, too. All facilities can be accessed via Spinstar’s desktop site, mobile site and their dedicated mobile app.

In addition, the site allows you to set up two-factor authentication that can help protect the security of your account. Also, via the Security Center, customers can view all of their logins via the Activity Log section.

The Spinstar site currently has an average of around 7,000 visits per month.

Bonuses and Promotions at Spinstar

While Spinstar’s casino customers have the opportunity to claim a welcome bonus as well as other promotions, that’s unfortunately not the case for Sportsbook bettors. We spoke to the live chat team, who informed us the only bonus offers currently available are those for players in their Casino and Live Casino facilities.

Welcome Bonus

Currently, there isn’t a welcome bonus available for Sportsbook customers. We’ll let you know as soon as a new customer offer is released.

Other existing user offers and promotions

Currently, there aren’t any existing customer promotions available for the Sportsbook. We’ll let you know as soon as any bonuses are released.

Downloading the app can activate additional promotions, but again, these are only available for Casino players at this stage.

Loyalty Program

Spinstar offer a VIP Program although, like many aspects of their site, it’s seemingly only available for Casino players. It’s an invite-only program, the more you play the more chance you might have of being invited to become a VIP member. There are different levels you can reach – the more you play, the higher through the ranks you can reach. When you sign up, you automatically set at the Discoverer I level. The highest level is Guru, which can be reached when you achieve 400,000 points. For every €100, you receive 1 point.

Registration at Spinstar

Creating a Spinstar account is a simple process. A couple of points to remember, though. Firstly, all customers must be aged 18 or above to legally bet with this online bookmaker. You’ll be asked to provide your date of birth before you can make a deposit, as well as verify this information. Talking of verification, all of your personal information will have to be verified either before you make a deposit, before you can place a bet or certainly before you can make a withdrawal. Make sure all the information you enter in the Personal Info section is valid and correct.

Secondly, as with almost every online bookmaker, Spinstar employ a strict one account per household rule.

Note that new customers can also sign up using their Google or Telegram accounts. For clarity, the steps listed below are for the main registration method.

To sign up to Spinstar, follow the steps below.

Deposits and Withdrawals

There are a handful of deposit and withdrawal methods available at Spinstar. Your choices aren’t as varied as you might find with other operators, but the most common methods are available to use.

What are plentiful, though, are your Cryptocurrency options. There’s also a very handy currency converter on screen, so you can easily see how much your deposit is in relation to a range of usual currencies, including Euro, Canadian Dollar and Mexican Peso.

Your Crypto-based options consist of the following:

Minimum and maximum deposit and withdrawal amounts vary – we’ve detailed these in the table below. There are no fees for using any method available from the bookmaker, though we recommend you check with your banking provider that no charges will be applied by them (on occasion, some providers charge for making deposits and/or withdrawals to gambling sites).

Take a look at the table below. In it, we’ve listed all available methods, minimum and maximum amounts as well as processing times for each option.

Method	Minimum//Maximum deposit	Fee	Transaction Time	Minimum/Maximum withdrawal	Fees	Transaction Time
	€20/€1,000	Free	Instant	€40/€1,000	Free	Within 2 days
	€20/€1,000	Free	Instant	€40/€1,000	Free	Within 2 days
	€20/€700	Free	Instant	€40/€1,000	Free	Within 2 days
Visa Alternative	€20/€1,000	Free	Instant	€40/€1,000	Free	Within 2 days

Limits

While the limits stated in the table above are accurate, it is possible for Spinstar players to request multiple deposit transactions at the same time. Available for Visa and Mastercard transactions, customers can ask for up to €5,000 amounts over multiple deposits.

There is a maximum limit on the amount of transactions via Visa or Mastercard that can be made. Per day, this number is 10, and there’s a 40 transactions per month limit as well.

For withdrawals, there are limits of €1,000 per day, €2,500 per week and €15,000 per month.

The VIP limits can be greater, depending on if you’re invited to join and which level you reach. Currently, though, this program is only open to Casino players.

Sports betting at Spinstar

There are 64 different sports and events Spinstar customers can bet on, which is an incredible number, certainly higher than most other betting sites in Ireland. Included in the Sportsbook are some of the most popular sports, like football, basketball and rugby, as well as less common events such as freestyle skiing, pelota and softball.

Esports are also an option at Spinstar. This facility covers Call of Duty, Counter-Strike and Dota 2, amongst many others.

Generally speaking, the biggest sports contain the highest number of betting odds and markets. For example, a typical Republic of Ireland Premier League football match can contain well in excess of 100 separate betting odds. A standard World Championship game in curling, on the other hand, might only have three or four.

In addition to the Sports repertoire, Spinstar also offer a range of Special Bets. Included in this section, you’ll find markets on current cultural, tv and film events, such as who will play the next James Bond.

Take a look at the list below to find all sports and events available at Spinstar.

Live Betting

Betting in-play is an incredibly popular method of placing wagers. At Spinstar, there’s a good live betting service available, featuring sports including football, rugby, boxing and ice hockey. The number of live betting odds is also a positive. For instance, the ROI Premier Division game between St. Patrick’s Athletic and Shelbourne FC had over 60 separate live odds attached.

Live streaming is also an option, although currently video streams are only available on Esports matches. However, the operator does provide a Statistics feature so you can keep up to date with the events as the match or event progresses.

Spinstar Casino Section

While the Sportsbook is incredibly new and as such, needs a lot of work in all honesty, the Casino is much more established. Featured here are slots and games provided by some of the industry’s biggest names, including Play ‘n Go, NetEnt and Pragmatic Play.

There are tons of slots to enjoy, including popular choices like Big Bass Bonanza, Sweet Bonanza and Gates of Olympus. What we also like is RTP of the day’s top games is displayed at the top of the screen.

Live Casino is also an option. You can find a variety of roulette, sic bo and blackjack games under the Live umbrella.

Spinstar Mobile App

There is an app available for download for both iOS and Android devices. To install the app, use the links found on the operator site or scan the QR code.

Both the app and the mobile version of the desktop site work well. Menus are easy to access, the pages aren’t cluttered and it’s easy to add your selections to your betting slip.

The app also promises extra bonuses, although we didn’t find any available for Sportsbook customers. Again, this is an area that focuses on Casino players.

Spinstar Odds and Margins

One of the most important aspects of betting is finding the best possible value odds. In our experience, the best sites offer competitive odds regularly, across a wide range of sports and competitions.

In the table below, you can find details of our research into the betting margin Spinstar provide on some of Ireland’s most popular sports.

Customer Support and Available languages

Another important part of online betting is the availability of customer support. The best sites tend to offer a live chat service, along with email and telephone options.

Spinstar offer the former two, there isn’t a telephone support service available. Live Chat is said to be 24/7, though we visited numerous times and were informed it wasn’t available on many of these occasions. To be honest, while we don’t want to be too critical of a new operator, when we did manage to speak to a customer service agent neither agent had any idea about our query (for clarity, we asked if there were any sports promotions available). The Live Chat feature is powered by AI when you first open the Dialog box, and actually we wouldn’t be surprised if our ‘agents’ were AI-powered too.

The Language on the Spinstar site is automatically set to English. There are two other options available from the Language icon found in the bottom left of the screen, these are Greek and French.

Awards and Recognitions

As a new operator, Spinstar are yet to be nominated for any major industry awards.

Usability, design and user experience

The Spinstar site is one of the positive aspects we’ve found about this operator. The black and gold colour scheme works really well, the layout isn’t cluttered and is extremely easy to navigate through. Menus are clearly displayed, and making payments alongside placing bets is a really simple process.

Registration is also easy, but remember to complete your Profile and verify your identity from the Profile Info section.

Alongside their desktop site is the mobile version and mobile app. Both work just as well as the desktop site, with a simple layout and easy navigation providing a seamless betting experience.

We’ve been critical of many aspects of the Sportsbook site, but site usability isn’t one of these aspects. In fact, it’s certainly a huge plus, we enjoyed our overall experience when researching both desktop and mobile options.

Responsible Gambling

The most important aspect of any form of gambling is that you can do so safely and responsibly. Almost every online bookmaker offers a Responsible Gambling section, which often contains options to set a variety of limits, such as deposit and loss limits, as well as a range of tools and advice to help you stay in control of your betting.

Unfortunately, Spinstar are not one of these bookmakers. While they do take account security seriously, there currently isn’t a specific Responsible Gambling section available.
