Topbet (or Top Bet) is the United States-facing bookmaker and casino with a pretty controversial history and doubtful reputation. It became blacklisted in various independent gambling review services, but some customers and sports betting specialists suppose Topbet is worth giving it a chance. In our Topbet review, we will try to figure out if this gambling website is safe and fair, what you should be aware of when you join it, and describe the overall offer: Topbet sports betting opportunities, casino games, betting odds, customer support, bonus programs, and more.

Overall Info

Topbet features a gambling platform with casino and bookmaker services. It accepts a wide range of payment methods and welcomes cryptocurrencies that can be regarded as one of its biggest pros.

The website is available exclusively in English and works with USD and Bitcoin. However, you can join Topbet from any country as it does not restrict any territories, but the main customer pool comes from the United States and Canada. The European bettors might find this sportsbook too overwhelmed by the American sports although Soccer lines are saturated enough, and the casino can not be proud of the large gaming library, so Topbet does not seem to expand their services to attract more users worldwide and is pretty content with their US and Canadian betting audience.

Topbet History

Topbet started as a sister company of the infamous FutureBet — an online sportsbook accused of stealing approximately a million dollars from the customers and partner companies. Topbet was a part of it and all financial operations, betting lines, odds, and other services were actually provided by Future bet. The Topbet website was launched in 2002, and it was associated with the FutureBet brand until 2011, when the scandal burst out, and TopBet owners decided to start working as independent digital bookmakers and casinos. The company was reorganized and currently works under the fully re-arranged management and updated policies.

Bookmaker License

Although Topbet has the main customer pool from the United States, it has not managed to become a part of the top-tier sportsbooks that almost monopolized the US market after the new gambling law. Thus, it does not hold a gambling license that makes it officially legit in the United States; however, its operations are approved and regulated by Curacao eGaming Control Board. Many reliable bookmakers operate under the same license, so we suppose it is a positive fact in support of Topbet.

Topbet Sportsbook Review

Topbet is focused on American sports and was initially created to meet the needs of the US bettors. Still, the offer is not limited by the top popular leagues like NFL, MLB, NBA, and so on: you can also find some internationally popular disciplines and non-sporting events: MMA, Australian Rules, eSports, Boxing, Tennis, Golf, Horse Racing, Entertainment, Politics, and a few more. Overall, there are thirteen options to select from. The European Soccer markets are available, and its coverage prevails every other sport. It is not surprising for even an American bookmaker as there are plenty of Soccer events available daily to cover and thus attract a wide customer pool. This fact makes us hope that the offer for the US leagues is definitely extensive, but we will review pre-game and live lines in detail further in this review.

The sportsbook layout reminds us of European bookmakers and looks modern and neat. There is nothing in excess, and anyone can easily navigate between pre-match and in-play sections and check out the game coupons for every match.

Pre Match Line

The best-covered sport in the pre-match line is Soccer; however, the line quality is not superior one so, in fact, the biggest number of events is offered mainly because there are plenty of them in the world.

The number of options to bet on may reach two thousand for the whole Soccer section, as Topbet covers international, English, and European leagues like UEFA, LaLiga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, and more, but you will not find minor games within some local African or Asian leagues, so the overall coverage is still very casual.

Speaking about American Sports, for instance, Basketball, the odds are available for NBA, WNBA, and Euroleague; however, the coverage does not again involve more than a couple of very classical bets, including pretty traditional props. Speaking about the props, they are not included in the basic match coupon, so you must find separate Props coupons in the drop-down list available for each discipline.

If we look at every other sport available for betting, like Major League Baseball games, or Tennis tournaments, the pattern is the same for all of them. Less popular disciplines or those not related to all-American entertainment do not even have extra props. For instance, eSports betting is limited to Moneylines, although the coverage includes various events and games: Counter-Strike: GO (ESL Pro League Season, Elisa International, ESL Meisterschaft, Pinnacle Series), League of Legends (European Masters Summer), and Dota 2 (the International, Champions League).

Bet line

Overall, the pre-match line might seem pretty dull for more sophisticated bettors, but some extra options and the odds can a bit compensate for such a monotony. We will touch on these topics further in this review, so our preliminary verdict is that the sportsbook will be more to beginner’s and recreational punters’ tastes rather than high-rollers or people who are keen on various bet types and a plethora of options like BetBuilder, etc.

Live Betting

The first thing that can severely disappoint in-play wagering addicts is that Topbet does not guarantee you live markets available 24/7. On the contrary, there is a high chance you will come across an empty section saying there are no in-play events at the moment. Still, if you open the Topbet live betting section at the right time, you will see more or less the same offer that we described in the pre-game offer review.

Like with the pre-match section, the major focus is made on your opportunity to bet on profitable Parlays and Teasers, but unfortunately, you can not opt for some useful services many sportsbooks offer for live betting markets.

Besides, the live markets are exclusively offered for the top popular American leagues like NFL, NBA, etc., so don’t expect any options for backing your favorite eSports team or a Tennis player within the course of the match. Topbet is currently promoting the presence of the live betting section as a big feature which is probably so for an American sportsbook, but they do not seem to develop it further and involve more services and opportunities.

Racebook Review

All Horse Racing options can be found under the ‘Horses’ tab. It was pleasant to discover that Topbet does not limit its offer by American races and provides the odds for Thoroughbred, Harness, and also Greyhound races worldwide. For instance, there are odds for Canadian (Mohawk, Fort Erie, etc.), Australian, British (Catterick, Goodwood, Leicester, Newcastle, and more), Italian (Galway), Japanese racing events, and certainly most US races are covered, too; among the top popular are the Canterbury Park, Del Mar, Finger Lakes, Kentucky Downs.

The racebook’s main page provides you with the upcoming races schedule first and then gives you a list of the countries and tracks with available odds. The wager types are pretty multifarious, so unlike with the other sports, Topbet does not limit bettors with a couple of markets.

The payout limits vary depending on the track type: for instance, there is a special group of tracks, including All Breeders’ Cup, Kentucky Derby, and a few more, where you can get $20,000 as a maximum net profit. This amount is the maximum one; the other maximum possible net profits vary from $1,000 to $15,000; all payout rules and conditions are explained in the dedicated section of the racebook in detail, so you will hardly get confused if you read them carefully.

NFL Betting Line

Although we have already mentioned a poor choice offered for live and pre-game betting lines, you can find a bit more options when you want to wager on the NFL matches. If there are no more than two-five bet types for the rest of the games, an NFL tournament may include up to twenty or even a bit more markets. For instance, if we take Dallas Cowboys vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers match, the line may involve the following betting options, except Match Betting odds:

• Money Line, Spread, and Totals for the 1st Half;
• Money Line, Spread, and Totals for the 1st Quarter;
• Game Props: First Score in the Game: Method, Odd/Even including Overtime, Will a Safety be Scored, Team to use First Coaches Challenge, Team To Score the First Touchdown, Will the Team Scoring First Win;
• Player Props: Under/Over Longest Player Pass Completion, Over/Under Player Passing Touchdowns, Under/Over Player Receiving Yards, Under/Over Player Kicking Points, Under/Over Player Receptions, Under/Over Player Rush Yards.

Besides, you can find early Futures for the Super Bowl and odds for college football.

Topbet Odds

Like at any sports betting site, the odds at Topbet’s sportsbook may vary depending on particular events and markets. For instance, if we are speaking about top-NFL games, a betting margin can be as low as 3%-4%; still, NBA or Tennis matches usually have a margin starting from 5%-6%, which is pretty competitive, too, but there are better offers in the industry so a gambler looking for high profits will most likely want to shop the lines elsewhere. The least popular sports or disciplines Topbet does not focus on, for instance, Aussie Rules or Golf, can come with an extremely high margin of 10% or more, so obviously, Topbet is not the best choice for those who want to wager on other sports but the US leagues.

Topbet Casino Review

Topbet online casino is powered by BetSoft and Ace Gaming and features various Las Vegas-style virtual games and slots. The games library is pretty big; keeping in mind there are titles from only two providers and accompanied by casino bonuses and promotions, the gaming experience might be pretty exciting.

The casino looks nice on the desktop website version and mobile devices; the quality of the games is good, although Betsoft also had a range of controversial moments related to the fair gambling principles violation.

Slots

The slots are located at the same casino section as the table games; there are more than a hundred video and jackpot slots in Topbet’s modest collection. You can search games by selecting a specific category, for instance, Jackpot Slots, or Video Slots, to sort them in alphabetical or reverse alphabetical order, or to simply type in the game’s title in a dedicated field. There are the following gaming options:

• Video Slots: about a hundred and thirty titles; among the top popular ones are St Paddy’s Blast, Lucky Coin, Imperial Panda, Monster Parade, and more;
• Jackpot Slots: thirty-two games including Zodiac Spin, Jewel Mania, Fortune Gods, Tattoo City, and others;
• Blackjack Games: six options, with classical, VIP, Side Action, Side Action VIP, Diamond Spin, and Diamond Spin VIP;
• Table Games: European Roulette VIP;
• Video Poker Games: Jacks or Better, Bonus Poker, Double Bonus Poker, Double Double Bonus Poker, Triple Double Bonus Poker, Deuces Wild, Joker Poker, Aces and Faces, and American Poker;
• Keno: classical and quadruple pay options;
• 3D Games: Carnaval Forever, Back to Venus, and about twenty more titles;
• Shooters and Arcades: Shock Tower, King Octopus, Golden Dragon, Animal Fishing, etc.;
• Scratch and Pull Tabs.

There are many titles with the ‘New’ sign, which makes us think the library is regularly updated and might be more extensive with years.

The Casino Rewards program stimulates players to play more, as all gaming activities bring comp points. Twenty-five members who gain the most points within the month are published on casino leaderboards and receive a money prize from $10 to $100.

Casino Games

Live Casino

It was disappointing to find out Topbet does not offer any live dealer options — if you want a participation effect, you will have to look elsewhere. Unfortunately, there are no alternative options that can be regarded as part of the live casino offer: for instance, you can not play Virtual Sports, Bingo, Keno, or Lottery games at Topbet.

Customer Service

You can contact Topbet customer support via two methods:

• Phone (toll-free line for US citizens);
• Email (two separate addresses for document verification and customer support).

Although both contact methods are available 24/7, it is a bit disappointing to see the absence of live chat support, which is usually the quickest and the most convenient option to talk to an advisor. Still, provided the agents reply to the emails and accept phone calls promptly enough, it will not be a major issue for the customers.

To check how the customer service team usually works, we send a test email and were pleased to receive a reply within several minutes. The email we got contained complete information on the requested topic, so, considering the other positive reviews we witnessed on various independent platforms, we can suppose that Topbet takes enough care about their customer service quality.

You will still have to be in contact with a Topbet’s representative when it comes to your identity verification and can be pretty sure they will do their job quickly and professionally.

Topbet Bonuses

Topbet has a good selection of sportsbook and casino bonuses, including the welcome offer and special promotions and bonus codes for sports bettors. The bonus conditions are fair enough to call them pretty generous, but we recommend reading the full terms carefully to learn possible payment methods or country restrictions.

All special offers are valid all year round, but there are also seasonal promotions valid for a specified period of time; for instance, at the moment of the review creating, Topbet features the NFL Survivor Contest, where you must daily pick the teams who will win the match. There are eight free picks, and the others cost from $10 to $25.

Besides bonuses, you can make additional profit from the referral program and join the loyalty program bringing you comp points for all betting activities.

Deposit and Withdrawal

Topbet accepts USD and cryptocurrency payments, but the number of options is still pretty limited, which is rather typical for a gambling platform of this kind, though.

You can deposit and withdraw funds using the following methods:

• Credit and debit Visa/Mastercard cards;
• QuickCash;
• Bank Transfer;
• eCheck;
• Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash.

The minimum deposit amount is $50, and it can be higher if you use bank cards due to processing fees your bank may charge. Topbet does not charge any commission for your deposits, but there are payout fees that you can still avoid with a special promotion for a single free withdrawal per month.

Topbet does not specify maximum withdrawal amounts, but you can not win more than $25,000 per week. The company does not have a very friendly approach towards high rollers: like most online sportsbooks, they do not mention it anywhere openly, but various reviews show that professionals’ accounts are often blocked with deposits zeroing.

Special Betting Options

Although Topbet does not offer much in terms of additional services European bettors are used to seeing in their sportsbooks (Cash Out feature, Live Streaming, Match Centers, BetBuilders, etc.), there are still alternative options for those who want to diversify their experience (which is highly possible minding such poor coverage of most sports). Thus, you can opt for the following opportunities:

• The NFL Survivor Contest: bettors can pick the NFL team within the contest; only one team per week can be picked, and you can not change the selection until the week is over. If your pick wins, you can receive a part of a large prize pool. There are similar contests all over the year, and they can be regarded as promotional offers rather than betting variants, but as soon as they remain an alternative online betting option, we mention them in this part of the review, too;
• Parlay Challenge: Topbet offers several Parlay options that give a 20% better payout than they would outside the challenge. To enter the challenge, you must sacrifice a fee from $5 to $20; the offer is only available for the Football games;
• Teaser Challenge: The same offer as for the Parlays is available for Teasers; new Teaser options with a 20% higher payout are published every Tuesday and cost from $10 to $50;
• Cross-Sport Parlay: an option allowing you to combine parlays from various events in different disciplines; for instance, you can make a Parlay of an NBA, NFL, and an eSports game.

Mobile Apps

Topbet does not have a native app, so m topbet.EU, the mobile version of the website, is the only option if you want to bet on sports or play casino games on the go. Topbet mobile login process, deposits, withdrawals, and all services are the same as in the main version of the site, so players are not limited when they opt for the Topbet mobile site. All pages fit different screen types, so it will be convenient to use on almost any tablet or smartphone. It is easier to scroll particular pages when you are on the full version, but quick actions like placing a straight bet or checking available markets for a certain event will not cause any issues.

Our Verdict

Summarizing the above, we came up with a two-point conclusion: Topbet is a reliable platform that pays out, and it is a very typical sports betting provider without any special features. There is nothing that distinguishes Topbet from dozens of other American-facing sportsbooks, and even several special betting options do not save the situation. You do not have a wide choice of sports, markets, casino games, and even banking methods — so there is nothing we can especially recommend or give an anti-recommendation for. The sportsbook and casino overall have a good reputation which can be pretty enough for some to join — but it stays unclear why someone should do it and do not opt for anything else.
