What people generally feel about Betamo
Yes, another page and yet another personal perspective on some casino.
This time around Betamo.
Why should I willfully spend 10 hours on writing a personal journey story on some casino when the chances of you ever reading it are slim to none.
Google doesn’t rank small nobody sites like Casino Visuals because it’s not as big as its buddy Reddit.
But still instead of wasting my time, perhaps making it a bit more productive would be far more appropriate.
In this case, let me do a brief on Betamo; that’s been around the block for some time now.
Pea-sized disclaimer intact that although I did have more of a satisfactory experience at this place, the same can’t be said for people who might have played here, and lost a good chunk of cash.
Why do I say this? Well, for one, I’m just me.
Just one guy.
My take on them, good or bad wouldn’t make much of a difference when there is an entire army of folks who dangerously stand against my view.
For example, the contrast of 1-star and 5-star ratings of Betamo on Trustpilot is rather menacing.
Almost 64% of the reviewers on Trustpilot hate Betamo, compared to the 30% who simply love it to bits and would die for it.
So clearly, either the ones who hate it are lying or the ones that love it are fake accounts.
I can’t say.
Well, I can but I’d rather not.
Betamo is a business and a few fake positive reviews here and there are expected.
What really matters is why the rancid disdain for it exists in the first place.
In Betamo’s case, most egregious ones revolve around its incapacity to process timely withdrawals of valid winnings, at the pretext of rejecting such requests on flimsy grounds such as “Your ID documents aren’t right” or “Sorry, you didn’t actually win the jackpot, it was a bug.”
The worst ones circle back to its turtle-speed support, hopping from one agent to another, bloating the questionnaire with unnecessary details, outright banning or deleting the accounts of lucky winners having accidently won over 10K Euros.
Any avid gambler hustled in the past would know the drill.
But the thing is, I don’t want to stand this trial.
Because for me Betamo has been nothing but “normal.”
In a sense, that I deposited 100 Euros, lost them on slots, then two days later unwittingly dropped another couple of hundred.
This time around won 600 Euros on a Betsoft slot, I can’t even recall the name of the title.
Then after having sent out a copy of my ID and an electricity bill got the money Skrilled to me the next day.
I don’t know.
It could have been a trick to gain my trust.
It’s not that this SOP is not practiced in the industry.
Because it is.
But, even it is, I still can’t bad-mouth Betamo for the sake of doing it.
Not that people who got fleeced would send a thank-you check to me.
In fact, I could have not mentioned the bitter bits at all, and done the textbook “This is the best casino I’ve ever played at” shtick; the one ones you find so highly ranked on Google, yeah the same listicle-cum-review posted by Gambling.com and Casino.org; the BFFs of the big G.
So what I’m going to do is to carry on.
At least jot down the basics.
Then if you wish to take the risk, so be it.
I’m not asking you to empty your life savings at this joint.
I hope the readers who register at Betamo after reading this piece have more than twenty brain cells to have a better sense than that.
The Malta Gaming Authority and eCOGRA approves
License-wise the Malta Gaming Authority provides a stamp of approval for this brand.
The registration ID (MGA/B2C/394/2017 issued on 01/08/2018) can be found at the bottom of their site.
Most of their Slot iGaming providers are eCOGRA certified, which is basically a badge of honor that says, “I don’t rig the games or cheat my customers.”
Well, we all know how all this works out in the real life.
Top iGaming brands work with them
All big iGaming brands have their slots catalogs listed here.
Names like NetEnt, Play’n GO and Evolution to name a few.
There’s tens of dozens more.
Probably got more than 3,000 slot games alone on their platform.
Think of perpetually progressive slot games like Mega Moolah and so on.
And if you aren’t into the one-armed bandits, perhaps their standard live casino games like Blackjack, Poker, Roulette or Baccarat can seduce you.
It’s all there.
Much like any other online casino in operation.
By the way, Evolution Gaming takes care of most of their live casino needs.
There’s nothing momentous about Betamo
Yes, I agree, there’s nothing special about Betamo.
Their USP doesn’t exist.
Perhaps their ability to accept players from furiously regulated places like Austria, the Netherlands or New Zealand is a good sell, but then there are tons of brands out there that can and do the same.
I wish I had an answer to why you should or shouldn’t go for Betamo.
But, I genuinely don’t have one, other than, may be to keep it as additional option in an obese list of many online betting sites.
Betmo has a wonted welcome bonus package
If you’re someone who like the taste of some free money, may be their 100% bonus can jiggle your ears.
Like if you deposit €/$100, they will issue you another €/$100 (capped at €/$300) + 100 free spins on a pre-selected slot.
So that’s like €/$200 in total balance. A 40X wagering requirement comes attached, of course.
A party killer, but you do what you can and may be your luck can guide you out as a winner.
Betamo does not offer a no deposit bonus at a technical level; but they sell their 20 free spins as a no deposit feature, as a marketing tactic, so please avoid sites that lure you in just for a quick signup.
Their VIP program is interesting – for real VIPs that is
Since, it tends to focus on countries like Austria, the Netherland, even tiny super rich places like Liechtenstein, it’s got a fairly enhanced VIP program.
The nitty-gritty of it, I’d want you to find out for yourself.
Or rather one of their VIP managers would sort you out, if you’re worth their par.
Plenty of options available for deposits and withdrawals
Deposits and withdrawals (€/$20 is minimum) can be made through cards, e-wallets, bank wires.
Because of the Malta regulations, I don’t believe they’re able to accept cryptocurrencies, thought this may change or could have changed already.
I didn’t check to confirm.
By the way a rigorous KYC is needed.
So, get your docs in order before applying for a withdrawal request.
Playamo owns Betamo
Being part of the Playamo group, its sister site includes names like 20Bet which maintains an extensive sportsbook.
Customer support, unfortunately, demands a lots of patience
Customer support can be slow.
This is not just me.
Many people say the same.
The FAQ does the trick for the most basic questions, but you still have to wait a day or two to get serious stuff looked at from the higher-ups holding the actual decisional powers over topics of 5-figure withdrawal requests, like as an example.
They do have a dedicated Complaints Cell, if that makes any difference.
So is it worth it and all?
Would I wear a T-shirt that says “Betamo is the best online casino I’ve ever played at.”
Nope, not a chance.
There are many in-fashion places to lose my money.
But, would I put it up as a backup of a backup, in case other casinos kick me out or start acting like two-bit scammers, which frankly quite a good number of do, if you keep winning, sure, why not.
