Betsson covers the vast majority of sports that most customers will be looking to bet on. Whether you’re looking to bet on Football, Tennis, Horse Racing, Rugby, Golf, Darts or Boxing, you can at Betsson. They also cover a number of events in lesser-known sports such as Futsal and Pesäpallo for those who are interested.
There are often a number of ‘Enhanced Accas’ available at Betsson on a daily basis. These are generally focussed around football but there are boosted Accas for other sports also.
For those looking to bet on current events, Betsson provides various Political markets as well as allowing customers to bet on television shows. For example, you can bet on worldwide presidential campaigns or the BBC Sports Personality of the Year winner.
A full list of available sports can be seen below.
| American Football | Enhanced Accas | Politics and Business |

We’d be surprised if many customers at Betsson had complaints with the number of betting markets available. For football especially, there are hundreds of betting markets available ranging from the correct score, match result and number of goals to players to get an assist, the number of shots on target and what will happen in the first 5 minutes.
We compared the odds at Betsson of various markets for different sports against some of the bigger bookmakers such as William Hill, Paddy Power, Betfred and Bet365 and found them to be very competitive. For football and horse racing odds, we didn’t find much difference.
Betsson don’t run many horse racing promotions but you may find the odd one on the promotions page from time to time. There are often price boosts available during certain periods of the day and for runners in selected races which are worth keeping an eye out for but if you’re looking for Best Odds Guaranteed, Extra Places or Money-Back Specials, I’m afraid you won’t find them at Betsson.
However, if the lack of promotions doesn’t bother you, Betsson does cover an impressive range of races around the world. At Betsson, you’ll be able to bet on racing taking place in South Africa, France, the USA, Canada, Norway, Turkey, Italy, Sweden, Germany and of course, the UK & Ireland which is some of the most extensive coverage we have come across.

The ‘Live Betting’ tab is where you’ll find in-play events which you can bet on at Betsson. The majority of sports which you can bet on pre-match are available to bet on in-play with even some of the less popular sports such as Beach Volleyball having in-play markets.
Alongside each in-play event on the Live Betting page is a pin symbol. Clicking on this will add that in-play event to your favourites which allows you to view multiple live events all in one place which is very handy for when you are betting on a number of sporting events in-play at the same time.
In-play odds fluctuate frequently and Betsson make it clear when this is happening by changing the colour of the odds. When the odds are shorting, they flash red and when they are drifting, they flash green. Other bookies have a similar feature but we found that it stood out and was clearer on the Betsson website.
There isn’t a great selection of sporting events which can be streamed at Betsson but what is available should satisfy the average user. Various events for Football, Horse Racing, Tennis, Basketball, Rugby and Baseball are available once logged in and can be accessed via the streaming tab on the in-play betting page.
For when streams aren’t available, Betsson provides a ‘Visual’ which is a computer-generated representation of in-play events which can give you some insight into the event along with the range of in-play stats which are provided.
If you need to get in touch with the support team at Betsson, you have the option to contact them via email, telephone or live chat. Support is available all day long on every day of the week and response times to emails are generally very quick.
There is also a ‘Help Centre’ which contains answers so a number of questions relating to the sportsbook, casino, payments, accounts, verification, registration, responsible gaming, banking and much more.
The Betsson website does state that there are apps available for both iOS and Android devices but upon searching in the App Store, we were unable to find any apps for Apple devices. The Android app is also unavailable from the Google Play store but can be downloaded from the Betsson website.
It’s currently unclear why the Betsson app is unavailable in the app store but when/if it becomes available again, we will provide a full review.
Around 400 different slots are available in the Betsson casino from a number of gaming providers such as NetEnt and Microgaming. There are also various ‘Betsson Classic’ slots which add to the collection.
You’ll also find a range of table games including 18 variations of Blackjack along with other games such as Roulette, Baccarat, Pai Gow, Punto Banco, Casino Hold’em and others.
For players who enjoy Video Poker, you’ll be please to know that there are no less than 12 variants which include Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild and Jackpot Poker which can pay up to 3,000x the stake.
Around 67 games are available in the Betsson Live Casino where players can play games with real-life dealers and croupiers. There is an excellent selection of games such include Blackjack, Roulette, Casino Hold’em, Texas Holden, Three Card Poker, Caribbean Stud Poker and more.
One area in which Betsson excels in is there Live Game Show offering. There is an excellent selection of popular Evolution Gaming games such as Dream Catcher, Side Bet City, Crazy Time, Mega Ball, Monopoly Live, Lightning Dice and Deal or No Deal Live.
Virtual sports are a common feature at many bookies now and there is a good selection available at Betsson.
Customers can bet any time of the day on Virtual Football, Horse Racing, Tennis, Greyhounds and Basketball and there are options to either bet on scheduled virtual events which take place every few minutes or on instant games where the player chooses when to start the event.
There are a number of deposit and withdrawal options for customers at Betsson which include various e-wallets such as PayPal, Skrill and Neteller along with debit cards and pre-paid cards such as the Paysafe card.
Withdrawal times for funds getting sent back to your debit card take an average of 2-5 days whereas e-wallet withdrawals are the quickest option and arrive in your account within 24 hours.

Upon reviewing Betsson, we had no issues with their service. We were impressed by what is offered in the online casino and there was a great range of sports and betting markets available.
For those who like to take advantage of regular betting offers then other bookies such as Betfred or Paddy Power may be better options but Betsson is a solid betting site and we have no problems recommending them.
