Middle Bet Casino Review

Middle Bet sounds like the betting site for Middle Earth, a place where hobbits and elves can wager on Champs League, NFL and who the next holder of The Ring should be. There appear to be no provisions specifically made for magical creatures on the site however – there’s not an image of a warlock or a wizard to be seen – so we must assume that Middle Bet is for humans only. Whatever the case and regardless of your species or country of origin, there’s plenty of action to be enjoyed here. In addition to a comprehensive sportsbook and live betting facility, you can spend time at a live and virtual casino plus try virtual sports too.

It’s not the slickest site on the web, but Middle Bet looks like it should do the job for the purposes of betting and what’s more it accepts players from a wide range of territories. As evidence of just how global an operation it is, the site’s logo depicts a map of the world with a heat spot radiating out from the centre of it, as if a nuclear blast had just detonated somewhere around Mecca. Hopefully that’s not the inference being made here and rather it’s simply a case of the orange dot on the map marking the middle aka ground zero for Middle Bet.

About Middle Bet

Middle Bet is operated by GLB GMBH EOOD, which might seem like an awfully shouty name for a company, but that’s just how their name’s stylised on the website. The company are based in the Bulgarian capital of Sofia but hold a gaming license issued in Curacao. Generally speaking, sites that are registered in this gaming-friendly Caribbean stronghold tend to be extremely permissive when it comes to who’s allowed to play at their site. Whatever country you hail from, odds are you’ll be able to sign up here and get betting, making deposits using Paysafecard.

The site is available in loads of languages – 20 or more – giving another indication of its pan-global setup. “Join now for the best online casino experience” urges an image on the homepage slider. Another image panel extolls the merits of video poker game Good Luck Poker, described as “the best casino game in Lebanon”. Despite not looking particularly up to date, Middle Bet does speak of how it’s designed to be suitable for mobile and tablet devices as well as desktop. The latest football matches are displayed down the right hand side of the homepage while to the left you’ll find a column containing quick links to football, basketball, volleyball and special events such as Eurovision.

Your Sportsbook Options

There are few surprises when it comes to the sports betting element of Middle Bet; bet in advance or in-play on dozens of leagues and matches encompassing most continents and countries. Football enjoys the most coverage and betting options here, but if it’s not your preferred sport to wager on, never fear for there are loads of other options. It’s not fancy, but the layout of the sports betting section is intuitive, making it easy to quickly place bets with no messing around.

If you’re simply looking to wager on the result of a particular game or selection of games, click on the link marked Sports and get stuck in. With the live sports however you’ve got much more options, for it’s possible to bet on extremely precise variables in a game, be it the next corner kick, the number of cards awarded or the identity of the next goalscorer.

Middle Bet’s Video Slots

At the Middle Bet virtual casino, you’ll find loads of slots to work your way through. The operator of this site have numerous other sportsbooks and casinos and they’re all stocked with the same slots and other games. While this means that all of their sites benefit from the same excellent selection of games, it also means that they’re all hindered by the same design flaws. Specifically, the video slots aren’t laid out well, so that your first impression is likely to be that there is a poor range of games to choose from. It turns out however that this is because by default only games by developer Zeus are shown.

Once you realise this, toggling through the games by other developers becomes a cinch; simply click on the tabbed sections at the top of the page to view wares by the likes of NetEnt and EGT. The Zeus slots don’t look impressive at all, be it Butterfly Hot, Arabian Dream, Honey Money or Hot 5 Deluxe. Things start to pick up once you work your way through the sections reserved for other developers though where you’ll find such intriguing slots as Ice Pirates, Aliens and Dracula.

Casino Games and Virtual Sports

Numerically, slots make up most of the games to be played at Middle Bet. There are other means of wagering money and winning though including virtual sports. This is essentially an extension of the sportsbook, the only difference being that here the games are conducted on a computer server rather than on the turf of a real world football stadium or racetrack. From a betting perspective it makes little difference though. Take your pick from bike racing, horse racing, football, greyhounds and Euro League.

As for the casino games to be found at Middle Bet, there’s plenty of video poker and blackjack, plus a good selection of live games. You’ll find live games operated by TVBet as well as others in a separate live casino tab. Here you’ll discover that games are broadcast live from the Baltics as well as from Latin America and include roulette in various permutations. To view the virtual casino games, you can either work your way through the tab assigned to each developer, scrolling your way down the page till you reach a game that takes your fancy, or you can type its name into the search bar. Unfortunately the layout of the games lobby, at least when it comes to casino games, isn’t as good as it could be.

Middle Bet Conclusion

Middle Bet is a passable sportsbook and online casino but there’s nothing about it that really stands out. There doesn’t appear to be any sort of welcome bonus, nor are there any other promotions, or at least nothing to justify a standalone page dedicated to bonuses. The design of the site could use some work and so could the layout of key sections.

With no attempt to welcome players – either via a cheerful About section or a generous deposit match – there’s very little that might tempt you to sign up here. It’s helpful that the site is available in multiple languages and it’s nice that players in most European countries can access it, but the perks of Middle Bet end there.
