Review of Planbet

We know that readers are always keen to learn about what bonuses a sportsbook has to offer. That’s just what we’re going to look at now:

The PLANBET first deposit bonus

There are some great offers for new customers at the PLANBET sportsbook. In Bangladesh, there’s the chance to claim a 100% match up to 13,000 BDT. In Pakistan, it goes up to 70,000 PKR whereas in India it reaches 9,000 INR. Bonus funds need to be wagered 5 times.

Before claiming the PLANBET welcome bonus, we suggest that you head over and fully check the terms and conditions. This allows you to spot anything that may impact the way that the bonus funds can be used.

Other promotions available at PLANBET

We were pleased to see that PLANBET also has promotions that go beyond the initial welcome package. These are open to all existing customers and can bring a real boost to your bankroll. Here’s a look at what’s on offer:

• Weekly cashback: Each week punters can claim back 3% of their losses. The minimum amount is $1 and the maximum is $1000 in your local currency equivalent.
• Bonus for a series of losing bets: If you have a losing streak and see 20 bets in a row go wrong, Planbet will hand you a bonus to bump your bankroll back up. The bonus ranges from $100 to $500 in your local currency.

It’s worth noting that the site will automatically covert dollars into your local currency. The ever changing exchange rate means the exact amount you’ll get will vary.

As well as the promotions that we’ve already looked at, there are also ongoing offers and rewards for users of the sportsbook. When we looked, in September 2024, this is what was on offer:

• Acca of the day: If you place a bet on the acca of the day, the odds are boosted by 10%. This makes a massive difference to your potential winnings.
• 100% acca refund: When you place an acca with at least 7 selections, if one of these loses you can claim back 100% of your wager.

We also saw that there was a VIP program on the site. However, when we looked at this in full we saw that it only applied to those using the casino and not the sportsbook.

When we first visited the PLANBET betting site, we wanted to be sure that it was secure and safe to bet at. We found that there was a current SSL certificate in place. This is good news as it show that there are levels of encryption in place that keep your details safe.

The next thing that we checked was that there was a license in place. This is important as it shows that an operator adheres to rules and regulations that are about providing you with a safe experience. We were pleased to see that there was a Curacao license with the number 8048/JAZ2019-006.

We’re big fans of the PLANBET site and just how easy it is to use. We managed to register a new account in a matter of moments. We liked the fact that we could do this via our mobile. We received a confirmation code in a matter of seconds and we were up and running. We also liked how simple it was to access our bet slip. As well as showing as you click to place a bet, there is also a button in the footer of the site. This means you can access it with ease.

This is a site that’s ideal for bettors regardless of their levels of experience. Newbies will find the site a joy to use while more experienced punters will find that there’s plenty to keep them entertained.

Navigating the PLANBET sportsbook

It has to be said that it was extremely easy to find our way around the PLANBET site. The menus make it simple to find your choice of sports to bet on and you can flip between pre-match and live events with ease. The live events are clearly displayed along with the odds. We also liked the fact that the available markets were displayed as soon as we clicked on an event. What makes this even better is that you can even search the markets.

Design

This sportsbook looks clean, crisp, and simple. We’re fans of this as it allows punters to focus on what matters without getting distracted. It was good to see that the operator of this site had added extra features to boost the overall experience. We noticed that there was a cashout feature and that many live events were streamed.

At first look, it appears that there’s a dedicated PLANBET app. However, when looking closer, this is not the case. Instead, clicking to install the app takes you through a process of adding a short cut to PLANBET on your home screen. While this is not an app, it still offers convenience.

As for the experience itself, the mobile site works perfectly. Everything appears great on the smaller screen, and it’s still easy to find your way around and place bets.

• Android app: No
• iOS app: No

It’s always important to check out the payment options that a sportsbook has. We like to see well known methods that are trusted and secure. Let’s take a look at how PLANBET does in this area:

Deposit methods

We’re impressed with the number of options at PLANBET. There are around 30 deposit methods to choose from meaning that you should have no trouble finding one that suits you. Cryptos dominate here with choices such as Bitcoin, Doge, Polkadot, and Tron. If crypto isn’t your thing, there are also options such as Perfect Money, Skrill, PhonePe, and Nagad. These methods all allow for instant deposits.

• Minimum deposit: 300 BDT/ 200 PKR/ 300 INR
• Maximum deposit: 266,077 BDT/ 619,531 PKR/ 186,549 INR

Withdrawal options

When it comes to withdrawal options here, we found that we could use those listed for deposits. That meant again that there were a range of cryptos and that the likes of Bkash, AstroPay, and Skrill could also be used. If you opt to use crypto, withdrawals are pretty much instant.

• Minimum withdrawal: 500 BDT/ 500 PKR/ 500 INR
• Maximum withdrawal: 201,147 BDT/ 468,125 PKR/ 140,216 INR

The first thing to say here is that we surprised that we couldn’t see a FAQ section or help centre. Many online betting sites include these as it means that users can often find answers for themselves without the need to reach out. It would be good to see this added.

We found that we could make contact with PLANBET via 24/7 live chat. This was located in the menu and labelled as ‘consultant’. We decided to give this a go and reached out with a simple query. It took us just under 5 minutes to connect with an agent. Once we began the conversation, we found that things flowed nicely, with no delays. Our query was resolved and we were left feeling that the experience was a positive one.

We also found that we could reach out via email. While we didn’t try this, if you do, you’ll find that responses are within 24 hours.

• Live chat: available 24/7
• Email: [email protected]

We’ve now reached the part where we’re going to share just what PLANBET has to offer when it comes to sports betting. We’re going to be looking at the range of sports, odds, markets, and more:

Available sports

We can’t fault PLANBET when it comes to the number of sports that you can bet on. There are more than 45 of these and we welcome such a broad range. As you’d expect, all of the most popular sports were covered meaning that we could bet on the likes of football, rugby, Amercan football, and basketball. There’s also impressive coverage of kun khmer events. Beyond this, we also found that there were opportunities to wager on things such as the weather, TV, and politics.

While there were plenty of betting opportunities across the board, we did feel that the attention given to football wasn’t the best. While major leagues were covered, such as the EPL, there was nothing to explore in terms of minor leagues and teams.

PLANBET margins

At PLANBET we found some of the most competitive odds around. We found that football had margins of 4.5% on average. However, when we began to explore the Champions League, we found that these went as low as 1.5%. It has to be said that this is amazing.

While we didn’t find any other margins that low, we were pleased with what we saw across all sports. Average margins came in at 6.6% and this is a major plus point for us.

In-play options

The moment that we looked at the live betting options, we spotted that there were around 1,000 events to explore. What we liked here was that a wide range of sports are covered rather than being limited to one or two. Some of the sports with in-play opportunities include:

• Cricket
• Football
• Table tennis
• Tennis
• Basketball
• Ice hockey

What makes the live betting experience even better is the addition of live streams. We’re hugely impressed with the streams at PLANBET. This site has gone above and beyond many that we have seen by offering streams across a range of sports.

Betting limits

As we explored the terms and conditions to find details of bet limits, we were a little surprised to find that these were displayed in US dollars. We found that the minimum wager that you can place is $0.30. There was no maximum shown, but it’s worth noting that there is a cap on the amount that you can win on a single bet. This is set at $50,000.

We’re a little disappointed with this. If you placed a bet that leads to anything above this amount, it is simply written off. Yes, win limits are needed but we feel that this one is set too low.

Market availability

Looking at the betting markets on offer at PLANBET, we were pleased to see that there was plenty to choose from. Across sports, we saw that all of the basics were covered such as, moneylines, outrights, and over/under. We also saw many other markets to enjoy including:

• Both teams to score
• Method of goal
• Penalty awarded
• Red/yellow cards
• Team to win the toss

Deposit limits

When it comes to making a deposit and placing your first bet, you need to be aware of the minimum deposit limits that apply. These are:

• Bangladesh - 300 BDT
• Pakistan - 200 PKR
• India - 300 INR

Here’s a look at the maximum you can deposit too:

• Bangladesh - 266,077
• Pakistan - 619,531
• India - 186,549

The best sportsbooks now cover esports. These have become more and more popular in recent years. Let’s take a look at what PLANBET offers here:

Available esports to bet on

We were pleased to see that there were 11 titles to get involved with. As we looked, we saw that all of the major ones were covered, and there are no significant omissions. Here’s a look at exactly what you can bet on:

• Counter-Strike 2
• Dota 2
• League of Legends
• Rainbow 6
• Overwatch
• Starcraft Broodwar
• Warcraft 3
• King of Glory
• Arena of Valor
• Mobile Legends
• Halo

We also found e-versions of traditional sports such as darts and football.

Esports odds and margins

To find out how profitable esports betting can be at PLANBET, we decided to take a look at the average margins. These came in at a little over 7%. There was quite a bit of variation here. We found Dota 2 events coming in at over 8% and League of Legends at 6.1%. Overall, these margins are good and offer the potential for some great returns.

Live betting

The live betting section was certainly busy. As we logged in, we saw that there hundreds of events taking place. These included League of Legends European Pro League, Counter-Strike 2 YaLLa Compass, and Dota 2 Mad Dogs League.

As we moved through the events, we saw that all of these were live streamed. This added to the experience and allowed us to immerse ourselves in the action.

Betting markets

We can’t fault what’s on offer in terms of the esports betting markets. There are countless opportunities to wager and this makes a good experience even better. Just a handful of the markets that we came across include:

• Correct score
• Winner
• Team to take next dragon
• Total maps
• Will there be overtime
• Handicap

It’s always good to see a sportsbook that comes with a casino section to explore. This brings some variety to the online experience. Here’s a look at what the PLANBET casino has to offer:

Game developers

Any online casino is only ever as good as the developers behind the games. We’re pleased to say that PLANBET works with some of the best providers in the casino industry, and that means that it features games that are of exceptional quality. Some of these developers include OnlyPlay, Funk Games, LiveBet, and Betsoft.

Game variety

We have to be honest and say that we were underwhelmed when looking at the variety here. We’re used to seeing sites that have hundreds or thousands of slot titles. Here, we counted around 50. This could be because this operator is still new and expanding. Some of the best slots we saw were:

• Coins of Ra
• Hook up Fishing Wars
• Golden Dynasty

Aside from the slots, we also found that there was a small selection of crash games. We were impressed to see table games on offer. While there weren’t many, there were still options to play the likes of blackjack, poker, and baccarat.

The PLANBET live casino

Live casino games are hugely popular and it’s good to see that PLANBET has included these. The selection is limited to around 20 titles, and these come from the likes of Ezugi and Winfinity. These providers are both well respected and known for providing a first-class experience. There are variants of roulette, blackjack, and baccarat to enjoy.

Wager limits

We liked the fact that PLANBET caters for a range of budgets in its live casino section. As we looked we saw that we were able to start gambling with just 795 BDT (555 INR/1850 PKR). For those who enjoy the thrill of higher wagers, they can gamble up to 795,175 BDT (555,882 INR/ 1850.794 PKR).

If you’re now looking to place your own bets at PLANBET, you’ll need to go ahead and create an account. Here’s a look at the steps that you need to follow to get up and running:

1. Head to the PLANBET site
2. Click the green button in the top right that says ‘Registration’
3. Decide if you want to use your phone or email for verification
4. Enter your phone number or email address
5. Supply your personal details as per the fields
6. Click to submit
7. If you’ve used your phone, you’ll be text a code to verify your account. Email users will receive a link to click on
8. You’re now ready to make your first deposit and start to wager

Based on the time that we spent at PLANBET, we’re pleased to say that this is a sportsbook that we’re happy to recommend. Yes, there are areas to be improved on, but this is a new site that is still growing. We’re sure it’s going to get better and better.

We can’t help but be impressed with the generous welcome bonus, and it was good to see the ongoing offers too.

The number of sports on offer is above average and the in-play area, with the live streaming, is exceptional. The same applies to esports too.

The casino is lacking a little, but this is something that will expand in time. The shortcomings here have no impact on the sportsbook itself.

There’s plenty of good things to talk about here, but we feel that PLANBET makes a great destination for fans of esports. The range of events and markets provide an amazing experience.
