Yeti Bet Sports Reviews and User Ratings

Full YetiBet Bookmaker Review

For most major sports (although there are some exceptions) there are way more markets than most other bookies, and there are smaller sports here that aren’t covered by the majority of competitors such as bandy, chess, lacrosse, water polo and winter sports. The big caveat to this, of course, is the lack of horse racing and greyhounds. It’s definitely something that will put off a lot of punters given the importance they hold in UK betting.

Another downside is that there is a real lack  of promotions, which means that it may struggle to attract users in the first place. Just something that rewards regular bettors, free bets based on the number of bets placed and the like would make a real difference. That said, there aren’t many bookies that can match Yeti Bet for coverage and it’s a really impressive product overall.

First Impression of Yeti Bet

My First Impressions

This review will reflect the service offered at the time of writing. I signed up on the desktop version of Yeti Bet, but also used the mobile version to compare, and downloaded their app. There’s no escaping that this is a casino first. Whether on the app or on desktop you have to navigate from the casino first before you can start checking out the betting markets. People will either love or hate the playful graphics and branding – I don’t mind them and if the actual product is good, then what issue with having a bit of fun in how it looks?

Bet Mentor and Insights 

Yeti Bet has recently added two nice new features to their betting markets that can be used across different sports. Insights provides different specific markets based on a particular stat, recent form or data point, with the corresponding market below. For example, for a Premier league game at Anfield it has the statistic: “Both teams have scored in 11 of the last 12 Liverpool home games” with the BTTS market below.

The Bet Mentor tool allows you to say how much you’d like to stake, and how much you’d like to win, and then provides the markets that would allow you to do that. These can automatically be added to your betslip with one click.

Live Betting

This is extremely easy to find, as the red “LIVE” icon pops against Yeti’s generally blue background. Not only can you head straight to the live betting part of the site, but all sports that currently have live markets feature the same red icon in the menu bar. I can immediately see that there’s plenty of live markets, and there can’t be many other bookies offering in-play odds on futsal and E-ice hockey markets like Yeti Bet does. See if they make it into our best bookmakers for in-play betting.

Live Streaming

Yeti Bet has some decent live streaming options. Any “live” event has a small toggle on the right-hand side, where you can flick between live streaming (if available) or graphics. Not all live events have the streaming option, but a good few do. There are no requirements to watch other than being a registered user with Yeti and being logged in. You don’t have to bet on the event in question and you don’t have to have money in your account. 

Betting Odds

After looking through some alternative sportsbooks, as well as going through some comparison sites such as OddsChecker and similar, it seems as though the odds offered at Yeti Bet are very good. Some seem to be around what you’d expect but you can definitely find some extra value, especially on long shots, in certain markets. For example, one Premier League game that has a heavy underdog listed at around 18 or 19, is at 23 on Yeti Bet. Also, remember that it is always worth checking alternative betting options, including best spread betting sites and betting exchange sites, depending on who you are as a bettor.

Betting App or Mobile Site 

Like the desktop, there is one Yeti app for the casino and sportsbook, and you have to get to the sportsbook from the casino to begin with. I find the app a bit clogged but it does work quite fluidly, and moving between markets is easy enough. It may just take a little getting used to, however, because the more I’m on the more I like it. See how it compares to the best betting apps in the UK.

⚽ Football Betting

Yeti Bet nearly makes our best football betting sites in the UK, but they just miss out. The menu panel is telling me that there’s over a thousand different games that I can bet on at this moment in time, and that’ll compete with anyone. There’s a great option to bet on whether there will be a card, corner or goal in the next five minutes of a match and another nice touch is their Insights feature. This is a particular stat based on recent form or data, with a corresponding market below eg “Both teams have scored in 11 of the last 12 Liverpool home games” and the BTTS market below.

Bet Builder 

There’s a bet builder option at Yeti Bet, and it’s okay, but could definitely be improved with some tweaks. I’d say it’s pretty standard, and if there were some more markets to add into builders they’d be more appealing. Generally market depth is a strength of Yeti Bet’s, so this surprises me, perhaps these will increase the closer we get to kick-off.

Bonuses

This is the most limited part of Yeti Bet’s product. There is no real welcome offer that isn’t casino-focused, but there are a really good amount of price boosts for a variety of markets, particularly football ones. Their Acca Boost (just for football) boosts accas from four legs, to 12 legs, by a bigger amount the more that you add, so 5% for four selections, up to 50% for 12 selections.

Cash Out

Cashout is a very important betting feature for punters these days so it's crucial that bookies integrate this feature into their mobile betting apps. Yeti Bet has done this well, allowing their customers to instantly cash out their bets on any device they like.

🏇 Horse Racing

Yeti Bet doesn’t offer horse racing at the time of review.

🇺🇸 US Sports Betting

A full range of American Sports is available. We’ll check out the major leagues, but also look into the sports further down the pyramid and, as well as across the globe. 

🏈 American Football Betting

Thankfully Yeti Bet shows the spread immediately when you land on the markets. It’s something that is a real annoyance of mine when it comes to American football. When you see the event (a specific game), and it only lists the winner market. You can see all the other markets once you click through and there are an absolute tonne of markets here, including next season’s outrights and NFL Draft markets, which is great to have. It’s worth checking out our best NFL betting sites to see how Yeti Bet compares. 

🏀 Basketball Betting

Covering the NBA, WNBA, college hoops, Euro League, FIBA Champions League, as well as a few more, Yeti Bet has an exceptional basketball offering, with well over 200 different markets to choose from, making it a great place to come to for basketball betting. In fact, like a lot of L&L sportsbooks, the number of international leagues covered is impressive and includes the likes of Bolivia, Lithuania, Taiwan and New Zealand. See how it compares to the best basketball betting sites in the country.

⚾ Baseball Betting

The MLB, understandably, is a big part of Yeti Bet’s baseball betting, but they also have markets for the Japanese and South Korean leagues. The markets, and the odds, especially on the outrights, appear to be really good. The MLB season is underway at the time of writing, and there is an impressive amount of markets here, such as individual awards and the like, on top of the individual match markets. Keep tabs on the top baseball betting sites though, to see if they make it onto our list.

🏒 Ice Hockey Betting

The NHL takes up the majority of real estate here, as one would expect. But there are also some Danish, Polish, and Kazakh fixtures included, among others. I selected an upcoming NHL game and there is a really impressive number of markets available – more than pretty most other sportsbooks I’d wager. For the lesser leagues that reduces a bit more, which makes sense. Overall, I think this is impressive from Yeti Bet.

🐕 Greyhound Betting

Yeti Bet doesn’t offer greyhound racing at the time of review.

🎯 Darts Betting

Matthew Edgar

Darts editor and wdf professional

Compared to the very best darts betting sites in the country, Yeti Bet matches up pretty well. I went through some of the upcoming Premier League match ups (although there are some smaller events also covered) and there are plenty of markets for each game. What’s great to see, also, is some boosted odds sprinkled about.

Snooker Betting

Steve Madgwick

Editor-in-chief

As with the best snooker betting sites, there are markets for a couple of different competitions, including the World Championships and the Tour Championships. There aren’t a lot of markets here per match, which is a bit of a shame, but I do like the statistics in the bar down the right-hand side – there’s a good selection of stuff here and you can toggle between different types of data.

🏉 Rugby Betting (Union & League)

By Luke Bradshaw Lee - This is okay, but not great if I’m being honest. Firstly, it’s worth knowing that rugby league and rugby union are split and so are housed in different places. Within match events there is a pretty limited selection of markets to bet on – just results, handicap and a scoring markets, but there is nothing in the way of player markets such as try scorer or points scorer. If there was more I’d absolutely see them making OLBG’s best Rugby betting sites.

🏏 Cricket Betting

James Banting

Tipster competition assistant

If there were anything in the way of cricket promotions, or if the odds were a little better, I could see Yeti Bet being one of our Top 10 cricket betting sites. Overall, it’s pretty nice because Yeti Bet offers all the competitions that I’d expect to see, plus a few more on top of that – not everywhere covers the Oman D10 League, for example. And I do love how many markets are available here for each game, but the value here is just okay.

We list the 10 best cricket betting sites here.

🎾 Tennis Betting

By James Banting - This is maybe the best part of Yeti Bet’s product. You can stream live tennis matches, the bet builder option is great, the supporting statistics are on point and there’s brilliant coverage across a whole host of events. They may not have quite the same number of markets as the very best when it comes to sheer quantity, but this is a brilliant option for tennis bettors. See why they make it into the top 10 tennis betting sites on OLBG.

🏌️ Golf Betting

By James Banting - Yeti Bet’s golf offering is a tad disappointing. There are plenty of competitions, but limited in terms of markets. There are a few smaller tournaments happening right now, or due to start soon, such as the Phoenix Open, Astara Championship or Commercial Bank Qatar Masters, and  these are listed in some capacity. I’d like to see a good bit more for me to consider using them consistently. 

🏎️ Motorsports Betting

Andy Powell

Content editor

There is loads here. For the next upcoming Formula 1 Grand Prix there are so many markets to choose from. Obviously there is the winner, but also how many times the safety car will be out, head to heads on driver finishes, and absolutely tonnes of yes/no question based markets to choose between.

Compare to the best motorsport betting sites.

🥊 Boxing Betting

Frank Monkhouse

Boxing editor

There’s plenty of boxing bouts to get stuck into here, and the markets look dependent on how far in advance they are. Those this weekend and over the next few weeks have an okay offering, whereas the further away they get the less markets on offer. That’s fair enough, and I wouldn’t expect to find round by round and the like for fights that are months away, but I would definitely like more options for big fights happening this week, and that’s definitely limited based on my experience with Yeti Bet.

Compare to the best boxing betting sites.

Other Sports Betting

Whilst these sports might sound very niche, there is a massive market for fans, and millions of them in the UK, so good coverage of niche sports and events is key to be reviewed on OLBG.

Yeti Bet offers extensive betting options for Handball, volleyball, cycling, AFL betting, and esports. Handball includes global competitions; volleyball,covers European Championships and various tournaments; cycling features future tours and current races; AFL betting has comprehensive stats and esports offers all major games like League of Legends and CS:GO.

🗳️ Political Betting

Nigel Skinner

Blog content manager

Yeti Bet houses its political betting under “Specials”, along with entertainment. Their political betting is okay, but nothing special. There are some US Presidential markets, but not loads, and odds on the next Mayor of London, In terms of UK General Election markets, or next Prime Minister odds, I thought there would be some more granular stuff but it's pretty limited.

Compare to the best political betting sites.

🎭 Entertainment and Specials Betting

Jake Ashton

Senior news editor

This is fine from Yeti Bet, with some music, award ceremonies and TV programmes covered. It’s difficult trying to work out what determines the offering because things like The Oscars and BAFTAs make sense, but Big Brother Brazil and Festival Di SanRemo seem a little out of place.

Compare to the best entertainment betting sites.

Casino

Yeti Bet does have casino. Despite the name of the brand, it's incredibly easy to find their casino offering from their sportsbook, with banners across the top. They also have some bonuses and offers that lead to casino spins should you win sportsbook bets. Check our Casino Sites page for dedicated new online casinos and slot sites.

Account Opening Process

A reassuringly easy process. At the top-right of the screen Yeti Bet has their “Join” button. Bettors just need to select this and follow the simple steps as guided through. You’ll be asked for the usual information – name, date of birth, address etc – and once complete be sent a verification email. Clicking this from your inbox will redirect you to the site, and then you’re free to get betting.

Navigation and user experience [desktop v mobile]

Overall I prefer the desktop version to the app, but both are pretty good, if not fantastic. There’s the issue of having to get to the sportsbook via the casino that is mentioned above, but once you’re there everything seems in order. One thing I think would make it much better is the ability to click on a sport and see all markets at once. If you select “Basketball” for example, you get the drop down of all the different leagues to then select, but what I want is to be able to see all at once and then decide. 

Placing a bet

This section should only really highlight if there are issues, as the process is almost identical on every site. Within a few minutes of signing up to Yeti Bet I placed a couple of bets on different sports, one of which took advantage of the welcome offer, and I used their bet builder feature, which worked well. 

Managing your account

As mentioned above, the design really helps this along. On the desktop version, it’s stuff to the  left of the screen. On the app, it’s all at the bottom, with just the login at the top. I haven’t experienced any issues logging in, or finding customer service options, either. Overall, it feels like Yeti Bet has got this part nailed.
