About Mintbet

Mintbet may be operated by a UK-registered company – FSB Technology (UK) Ltd – but it actually originates from an established Irish bookmaker called McBride Racing. The Mintbet website has only been available since 2017, but is already proving a hit among sports betting aficionados.

Promotions

A lot of the promotions advertised on Mintbet at any one time relate to the casino rather than the sportsbook part of the site, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any interesting goodies on offer to sports bettors. 

Indeed, sign-up offers, seasonal specials, cash boosts, acca bonuses and cash back offers are just some of the promotions that surface from time to time and are of specific interest to those wishing to have a flutter on sports like football and horse racing. 

Sports Betting Types and Betting Markets

You can try your luck on the following sports at Mintbet, to name just a few from the broad assortment of options: 

• Tennis

• Cricket

• Basketball

• Volleyball

• Badminton

• Table tennis

Naturally, there’s even greater depth to be found when you peruse these categories. Football fans are certainly well-treated, for example, with matches in both popular and comparatively lesser-known competitions – ranging from the English Premier League and UEFA Champions League to the Belgian Pro League and Chile Primera – represented. 

Betting Coverage

You can, of course, bet in the conventional way via your desktop computer, but you also have so many other options at Mintbet – not least mobile gambling. Yes, that’s right – a dedicated, nicely optimised app can be downloaded for iOS, although even if you have an Android or other phone or tablet, you can simply access this same version of the site through your device’s web browser.

Whichever device you use to visit the site, you should also be pleased to learn that in-play betting is available across a variety of sports, including football, tennis, cricket, basketball and more. 

Software and Graphics

The Mintbet site looks pretty good and is straightforward to navigate, regardless of whether you access it via a desktop or mobile device. 

A white, black and turquoise colour scheme is used throughout both versions of the site, with the desktop site giving you a host of options to click at the top of the page, but also a few at the bottom. Meanwhile, a ‘hamburger’ menu takes the stress out of navigating the mobile site.

Extra Value

Mintbet takes a fairly middle-of-the-road approach to sports betting for the most part, although it does have a blog that receives regular updates, musing on such topics as “Who are the top male players at Wimbledon 2018?” and “Is the Chelsea manager job cursed?” 

There’s another section of the site that we also especially like, however – the one dedicated to ‘virtuals’. In case you have no idea what this means, it’s a reference to virtual sports betting, which involves taking a punt on computer-generated matches and leagues. It’s a form of betting that’s come to the fore in recent years amid the popularity of fantasy sports video games such as FIFA and Football Manager, and it certainly makes for a slightly quirkier way to try your luck online. 

Loyalty or VIP Programme

If the site especially appreciates your custom, you might be lucky enough to be promoted to VIP status. Membership of what is known as the VIP Mintclub is open to avid sportsbook bettors and casino players alike, and gives you such perks as your own dedicated account manager and monthly cashback of up to £2,000. 

However, you should bear in mind that you’ll have to deposit a minimum of £500 a month to remain eligible for the VIP cashback offers, so this isn’t a promotion that casual users of the site will be able to take advantage of. 

Other Offerings

We’ve already mentioned that Mintbet has a casino section, and in all honesty, the breadth of games on offer is as good as a lot of standalone casino sites we’ve seen. The selection of table games alone encompasses such options as Classic Blackjack Gold Series, Double Bonus Poker and American Roulette, and there are some interesting branded slots too, such as Tarzan and Jurassic World. 

Glamorous live casino games can be played, too – think not only roulette and blackjack, but also options that you might have never expected, such as Ultimate Texas Hold ‘Em and Money Wheel Dream Catcher.

Deposit and Withdrawal Methods

Mintbet is still quite a new site, but it’s still surprising that there aren’t yet any e-wallets among the accepted payment methods. However, the site has said that it will soon be introducing Skrill and Neteller to this list, which may have proved to be the case by the time you read this.

Payout Policy

While each withdrawal itself should take only 24 hours to be processed, you may not actually receive your funds for another 3-5 working days, depending on the withdrawal process used. There are also certain conditions under which the site may charge a 5% processing fee when you withdraw, further details about which can be found on the terms and conditions page.

Customer Support

There’s a decent-sized Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) page that might well answer whatever query you have before you need to consider getting in touch with the site team. However, if you do still have a question, you can easily enough email the staff or use the ‘live chat’ feature. 

Who Can Play?

Only residents of the below countries are permitted to register an account at Mintbet and place bets, and they must also be at least 18 years of age. That means those aged below 18, as well as residents of any other country, are excluded. 

     Great Britain

     Northern Ireland

     Republic of Ireland

Licence

FSB Technology (UK) Ltd – the company that manages Mintbet – is fully licensed and regulated by the Gambling Commission in the UK. This is one of the world’s most reputable bodies as far as the regulation of online gambling portals is concerned, so you should have no reason to worry about the trustworthiness of Mintbet’s services. 

Bottom Line

Mintbet is a very well-rounded and complete place to bet on sports online, given its relative youth. The promotions are more in-depth than we’ve seen from almost any rival, while the interface is also easy to use, whether one bets from their desktop computer or mobile device. Such extra touches as the virtuals and blog help to make it an even more rewarding gambling portal.
