Betzone Review

The betting industry worldwide has seen an avalanche of bookies over the years, each striving to beat the other to seal a permanent spot in bettors’ hearts.

The same is applicable in the United Kingdom. Founded in 2021, Betzone is one of the newest entrants into the betting industry in the United Kingdom. Bet21 owns this bookmaker, but Playbook Gaming Ltd runs it. Both companies are long-time players in the betting industry.

BetZone can easily win the prize for the slickest site among the numerous new entries to the industry. Its straightforward layout, functionality, and simplicity of use are difficult to criticize.

That said, let us detailedly examine this bookmaker. How reliable is it? How do its odds compare to market standard? What banking options are available. These are some of the core features this Betzone addresses.

Safety is paramount when it comes to money, as no one wants to lose their hard-earned cash to malicious schemes.

This is why we conducted extensive research to determine whether or not this bookmaker is worth your time and cash.

We can confirm that Betzone has licenses from the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC). You can’t engage in fraudulent betting activities and retain your licenses from such a no-nonsense regulator. The fact that Betzone has retained its UKGC licenses all this time is a testament to how keenly they maintain credibility.

Besides their authenticity, BetZone is also ethically interested in safe gambling. This is why there is the Safe Zone tab.

This Safe Zone houses information on how to gamble responsibly. It also features external links to other websites to help people getting dangerously stuck on betting.

Some other useful tools for responsible betting include a play break, questionnaire forms, a deposit limit, and the Self Exclusion feature.

We will also add that the digital integrity of your sensitive data is secure on the Betzone website. The company insists that they do not give or sell users’ information to third parties.

In addition, all users’ information is stored on secure servers and in a safe operating environment. BetZone leverages SSL technology to protect data from cyber vandals.

Also, the Betzone Casino department boats an encryption certificate from the prestigious Internet Security Research Group (ISRG).

This ensures that just any financial transaction conducted on the website, data on the site, and links are securely encrypted.

BetZone’s website is fluid to navigate, with functionalities explicitly laid out for users to access. Upon landing on the homepage, you are presented with the most recent market events and a scrollable header summarizing all associated offerings.

On the left topside is the BetZone logo glowing with a bold combination of green and white. Opposite it on the far right is the option requesting returning users to log in or sign up.

The website is generally decked with a black and red color palette, interspersed with green and white.

We found the desktop version a bit cluttered. We would have preferred a less jampacked home page, with the multiplicity of icons a bit distracting.

Expectedly, the mobile version is a tad different in display location, with the registration form popping up first once you access the site. Nevertheless, it is still fluid and easy to understand.

It is worth noting that BetZone is exclusive to bettors in the United Kingdom, but foreigners are not restricted from accessing the site.

On the desktop version, the registration process is launched by clicking on the “Sign Up” button at the top right of the homepage.

This loads up a page seeking new bettors to input their email addresses and intended passwords.

The location of the registration form is different on the mobile version. On the latter, the registration form is boldly displayed on the front page to be the first interaction that new bettors will have with the website.

Either way, once you input your email address and password and then click the “Welcome to BetZone” button, you will be redirected to another form requesting you input other necessary details about you.

The field for you to fill includes Title, First name, Last Name, Date of Birth, Phone number, Address, and Currency.

Also, you are to Check either Yes or No for the Email, SMS, and Phone options to indicate the methods you would prefer to receive offers.

When you are done filling all the fields with the correct information, click “Agree and Join” to create your account.

A verification email will be sent to the email address you used. Go to your email and click on the link sent to authenticate your BetZone account.

Once you do this, you will be redirected back to the BetZone website, where you can then login and make deposits.

Yes, BetZone welcomes its new users with a 3-tier free bet welcome offer on their qualifying bets. This is a first deposit bonus only available after making your first deposit.

This Welcome Offer maxes out at £60 in free sports bets and 50 casino spins. We found this delectable.

Sit tight, and let us tell you how this free bet offer works.

First, create and authenticate your BetZone account, then make a deposit. The minimum deposit is £10.

After a successful deposit, place five bets worth £10 or greater at minimum odds of 2.00, and you will be given £10 free casino spins and £10 worth of free bets.

For the next tier of the deposit bonus, place ten bets worth £20 or greater at 2.00 odds or more, and you will be given 20 free casino spins and £20 worth of free bets.

For the final tier, place ten bets worth £50 or greater at 2.00 odds or more, and you will be given 50 free casino spins and £50 worth of free bets.

Remember that the maximum Welcome Offer amount is £60. Therefore, you can only combine free offers for tiers one and two or tiers one and three till it reaches £60.

However, you cannot combine the free bet offers for tiers one, two, and three or tiers two and three because they will be greater than the £60.

Note that the bets that qualify for the first bonus will count toward the average calculation for awarding the second bet. These first bets can be on accas or multiples, while the second bets must be only on single events.

Other conditions for this Welcome Bonus include a 30-day deadline to claim the bonus after you first registered and seven days to place a bet. Also, you must place football and horse racing bets on the same day of the events.

Finally, there are no wagering restrictions on free bets, but the winning is capped at £500 while the stakes will not be returned.

BetZone boasts an impressively wide range of sports markets with 30 sports available. However, football is well pronounced.

This is only natural since BetZone has English-centric markets, with more than 50 submarkets at each football event, especially in the Premier League.

Also, sports like horse racing are Europe-focused, having a plethora of sub-markets.

Other popular sports cut across major sporting events, such as the NBA for basketball, the Korea Baseball Championship, and Major League Baseball for Baseball. Nevertheless, you can still find other minor sporting events too.

In addition, there is the BetZone Events tab where bettors can find daily specials and selected sports markets having boosted odds.

There are no “Best Odds Guaranteed” with BetZone. The odds were modest, at best. We have definitely seen bookmakers offering better odds and also bookmakers offering worse.

The horse racing odds were relatively more attractive.

By default, the odds on your sports bets are displayed in fractions, and there is no option to change them to decimals. We find this a bit handicapping for bettors more acquainted with decimal and American odds formats.

But £500,000 is the maximum that a bettor can win in a day. This is the upper limit for all accumulated wins for a single day.

For one event, the upper limit is way smaller. £100,000 is the highest win you can pocket for one event in most instances. However, there are peculiar events where this margin is lowered to around £50,000.

BetZone offers in-play betting – enough of it. You can find this feature at the top header labeled “In Play.” This feature is available for popular sports such as golf, basketball, football, and tennis.

Sports that feature in-play betting can carry up to 50 in-play betting markets, while others can be fewer. This is relatively lesser than some betting sites which offer hundreds of submarkets in football for live bets.

Nonetheless, there will be multiple betting markets for you to choose from in the in-play events.

As expected, the betting odds for the in-play game will either reduce or decrease as the game progresses. However, BetZone does not display full match data for live games, so it is not advisable to make betting decisions on just what you see.

Unfortunately, this feature is lacking in BetZone. There is also no live game graphical representation as we have been treated to on other sites.

We hope that this decision will be reviewed and implemented soon.

Many bookies have been reluctant to launch their betting apps. This makes it quite hard for bettors since every bettor wants something easily accessible.

Thankfully, BetZone has mobile apps for both the Android and iOS platforms. This makes it handy as just one tap on the icon launches you into the BetZone’s world of sports betting.

Both the Android and the iOS apps are fluid and easy to understand. Besides, the whole app is centered on ease of use as you can seamlessly navigate through the menus.

Depending on your OS, you can find the app on the App Store and Play Store. Both are lightweight and safe to download.

Admittedly, there is a limited number of platforms for deposit and withdrawal on BetZone compared to other betting sites. Popular payment methods like PayPal, e-wallets, and cryptocurrencies are missing.

 Also missing are mobile payment methods like GooglePay and ApplePay, especially if you are using the app. However, the available few all proved efficient when tried.

The deposit and withdrawal channels include Maestro, Cheque, Visa and Mastercard debut, and Bank Transfer. Instant reflection of the amount deposited or withdrawn depends on various factors, such as the bank involved, but you can expect the money anytime from one to three working days.

Bank transfers can, in some cases, extend into seven working days. The minimum withdrawal and deposit are capped at £10.

Yes, sports betting is not the only product that BetZone offers. There is also the BetZone online casino.

However, we strongly feel BetZone needs to ramp up its range of casino games as we found them few compared to other online casinos.

These games on Betzone casino include Blackjack, Live Roulette, Mega Wheel, and LiveDragon Tiger. On the brighter side, the Live Casino had enough to satiate our cravings with impressive payout percentages as well.

BetZone has 24/7 customer support, ensuring that bettors who have issues are addressed. But the 24/7 customer support claim does not always entail a prompt response.

 On their website, BetZone noted that customers might have to wait up to 72 hours before a customer support personnel reaches out to the customer having the issue.

This can be quite disheartening as every person with a complaint always wants their issues resolved as quickly as possible.

One probable cause of the seemingly long response time is the lack of a live chat service. Though the company did not state a cause for the absence of their feature, we are hopeful that it will be present in the nearest future.

Bettors can reach out to a customer care representative via email at customerservice@betzone.co.uk or via their Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram handles at BetZoneUK.

This is one of the few bettors in the United Kingdom with an energetic presence on social media. You can reach out to them on such platforms with your queries too.

Besides, BetZone provided a FAQ section where users can peruse their complaints and possible solutions. This can enable better solve their issues themselves without waiting for a long response time.
