PokoBet Review

PokoBet Sports Review

Sports betting is a favorite pastime for millions around the world, with more and more betting sites nowadays coming online to cater to the different tastes of that massive range of punters. That said, not all bookies are equal, with some offering better and some – way worse services, than their peers. So picking the best one to bet in can be very challenging! Especially when there is a lot of ground to cover with each bookie, for instance, taking a look at what their payment policies, betting library, bonuses and so on are.

Within this review, we would like to go over PokoBet, another newly launched online gambling house, which has only been around for a couple of weeks at this point. The bookie will be covered in full depth over the course of the next chapters of our review, which will go over everything about its services you need to know. We will be covering what we mentioned above, as well as its regulation, its withdrawal and verification processes, or even what the mobile experience with the betting site is. At the end of this review, you will be able to make an informed decision whether you should wager anything in the betting site!

That said, the main focus of our coverage, and the place where we will be starting off, will be the sports betting options of the bookie. After all, they are the most important for punters at the end of the day! A betting site could have every other facet of its services be excellent and still fail, due to simply not featuring a deep enough range of sports to enjoy! So, let’s start there, with an overview of what you can bet on here:

PokoBet Betting options

It is difficult to say precisely how many betting options should be available in a bookie. But, we can confidently say that there are definitely more than enough of them within PokoBet! The reason we are so confident about that is the fact that the gambling house features well over 1000, likely over 1500 different betting options altogether, in line with what we consider to be acceptable for bookies these days. What’s more, the events themselves are quite diverse, too.

For instance, there are plenty of major sports betting events to pick from. Among them are events from major sports like Football, Basketball, Tennis and more. We will be covering the betting options for these top sports by their own, over the course of the next few couple of sections. However, there are a ton of smaller sports to pick from, too, which we will also examine by themselves, too.

Of course, Live betting is also available in the bookie, and it is there in force, with the betting site always having something live for punters to enjoy. We will be going over everything you need to know about that bracket of the betting site, too, and how you can chase the thrilling experience of betting on live matches here in particular. That said, before we jump into our coverage of the specific betting option types as we outlined, we should also go over the way that the sportsbook itself is structured.

For one, the bookie had a very well-laid out betting section. Punters were able to browse all of the 50+ different betting markets from a menu to the side of the betting site, while also keeping an eye on the hottest upcoming events, as well as what was in-play at any moment. A good user interface is critical for a bookie to provide nowadays, but it is also something that punters often overlook. Well, here, you will be able to place bets significantly easier and stay in touch with what you could bet on further down the line, due to the excellent design of the betting site.

A special nod should go to the Quickbet feature of PokoBet, which allows punters to set up a custom sum of money and then bet it on as many different events as they might want to, by simply clicking once on the respective bracket. That is a pretty simple and effective way to streamline the bet placing process, which will be especially useful for those who are looking to bet on live events. Now, with all that said, let’s take a look at the different types of betting options themselves, as promised:

Football Betting

Football is, hands down, the most popular sport in the world. The game, also known as Soccer in some countries, is played and kept up with by millions around the world, so that’s hardly any surprise! Across betting sites, it is also consistently the option with the most things to bet on, and by a huge margin, too! Usually, we tend to see these sites feature no less than 500 different football events, with some of them actually going as far as to let punters wager on the outcomes of over 1000 of these matches. That said, if you are looking to bet on football games in PokoBet in particular, the number of available options was over 750, falling somewhere in the middle between these two other figures.

More importantly than the number itself, though, the betting site allowed us to wager on the outcomes of pretty much all of the major Football events that we wanted to. For instance, this included letting us bet on the games from the FIFA World Cup series, the most prestigious international Football competition. Then, there were also a bunch of exciting national leagues that you could also bet on. They include things like the Bundesliga in Germany, the Italian Serie A, La Liga in Spain and so on. Finally, if you are interested in more niche betting experiences, there are different matches from smaller domestic competitions from all around the globe, too! Among them are matches from anywhere from Slovenia and Serbia to Venezuela and Uruguay.

So, true fans of football betting will always have something to pre-match bet on within the bookie. However, the live betting options for football are also quite fun. And that should not really be surprising to our readers, because, with so many different leagues to pick from, from all over the world, that was only natural! Of course, if nothing you want to bet on live is on, you could also consider the simulated Football matches that the gambling house has to offer.

These are played around the clock, just in case that there are no real football games that you could enjoy. Of course, they do have their dedicated fanbase, too, and if you are among them, you will be happy to know that there are more than 100 different eFootball betting options to pick from within PokoBet!

Tennis Betting

Secondly, Tennis is another massively popular sport, all over the world. It actually has centuries of history, so that’s not really surprising. What’s also unsurprising is that the game, popular with countless people around the globe, is usually quite well represented in sports betting sites, as well! We tend to see them offer access to between 200 and 400 tennis betting options in total, with this particular bookie featuring well over 250 of them at the time of writing.

These events were structured in such a way as to make betting a breeze. For instance, there is a separate Grand Slam bracket, which is where we could bet on the matches from the current leg of the world’s most prestigious Tennis competition. At the time of writing, that was the games from the Wimbledon, which were available for us to wager on. Then, there were also a bunch of other popular matches from competitions hosted by the WTA, the ITF, the ATP and UTR.

Naturally, live betting was very widely available within the betting site, as far as tennis was concerned. And that is hardly surprising, considering the massive range of betting options! Of course, if none of the Live Tennis betting options caught your eye, you could always take a look at the different eTennis matches that were available in the betting site. Just like the simulated Football games we went over before, these matches were available for those among the punters with PokoBet that did not have anything to bet on live during any given time of day. That said, we also recognize that these matches can be less thrilling to some, due to the fact they are virtual. Nevertheless, we still think they are a fun way to pass time until a popular tennis game comes live!

Basketball Betting

Betting on basketball is also very popular in bookies. However, usually, there are fewer options for that than the other games we just covered. In general, there are just not as many basketball events that are in play, as the other sports we covered. So, we usually expect to see about 20-50 matches from the sport available for betting. In the case of PokoBet, the basketball betting options included over 30 different matches for you to wager on the outcomes of, which was very impressive to us!

We should also mention that the collection of matches was also very diverse. Of course, the biggest Basketball competition in the world, the US NBA was available among these matches. However, there were also a bunch of other events, such as the European Basketball Championship, the Euroleague and a number of popular domestic leagues. These include the Chinese Basketball league as well as the Australian one. Niche basketball events such as the Philippine and Korean leagues were also available.

Live betting is offered by the bookie with regards to basketball games, as long as you can catch one of them in-play. That said, even if there is nothing going on, you can also bet on simulated basketball matches, just as we explained above, when talking about the other sports.

Volleyball Betting

Betting on Volleyball games is also quite popular internationally, but the sport is pretty much in the same boat as the other competition we covered. It just does not have that many popular international and domestic competitions, so the range of betting options we expect to see from bookies for Volleyball games is actually on the low end, comparatively speaking. That said, if you are interested in betting on the sport, you will find no less than 15 Volleyball events within PokoBet.

This is a comparatively high number of these said events, on account of the fact that the average number of Volleyball events we expect to see from the bookies we cover is only 10 or so. Within this bracket, though, PokoBet offered us all of the popular international volleyball competitions we expected to see and more. We could bet on the Nations league, the FIVB World Championship and so on. The domestic volleyball betting options included some pretty obscure leagues, such as the Belarussian and Gambian ones.

There was even live betting on volleyball matches, provided you manage to catch one live. Otherwise, as always, you could bet on the outcomes of simulated Volleyball games, too!

Live Betting

Live betting is a really different experience to pre-match betting, and it is generally a lot more thrilling, too. Being able to place a bet on your favorite team and watch the odds change with every goal they score and every minute that passes until you eventually win your bet is really an unmatched experience!

So, we are very happy to report that those who are looking to make use of just that kind of betting will be able to do just that. The bookie allows you to wager on the outcomes of all manner of live events, too. We already went over the main sports and mentioned that all of them have live betting available. But there are many other sports that live bets are welcome for. For instance, these include Table Tennis, Cricket, even Boxing. In fact, the live betting options for this betting site are pretty much unmatched, in terms of what we’ve seen from other betting houses!

We should also once again mention that the layout of the gambling house’s sportsbook is excellent. This is always important, but especially so when it comes to live betting. Being able to keep an eye on how the odds of each bracket you have bet on have changed, how much time is left in the match, what the score is and so on is crucial. And it’s all possible via the well-designed live betting page of PokoBet, too!

Other Betting Types

Finally, let’s round out our coverage of the betting options of PokoBet by taking a look at the other types of betting you can engage with within the bookie. For one, these include a lot of sports, which are somewhat popular, just not as much as the established options we went over before. These are various ball sports like Handball, Baseball and so on. Alternatively, punters are welcome to place bets on a significant range of combat sports. Boxing is available, as well as MMA, though you can even bet on the outcomes of Sumo matches here.

Racing sports, such as Cycling, Speedway and Indy Racing, are also available within the gambling house. There does not seem to be horse racing, but you can bet on simulated horses in the eHorse bracket of the bookie.

Additionally, we should mention that the betting site has one of the biggest collections of eSports we’ve seen in quite some time! There is actually a special page of the website of the betting site for those, called the eSports Hub, where you can keep track of the 150+ different eSport betting options. Nevertheless, let’s go over them here, too:

First off, you can bet on plenty of different Shooters, such as Counter Strike and Rainbow Six. There are also a couple of MOBAs, such as Dota 2, League of Legends and even Mobile Legends to pick from. Finally, strategy games like Starcraft 2 are also available within the betting site.

So, in summary, the other types of betting that you can engage with within the bookie are both very diverse and very compelling. However, we should mention that we miss special bets, which are not present in PokoBet’s collection of events! These are bets on things like game show awards and political races around the world. Admittedly, there are not really a ton of punters who will miss these events, but them being available as an option is always better than no such events being in place at all!
