Just when we thought the online betting world was getting a bit stale, out of nowhere came VStarBet, a brand-new betting platform with tons of top-class features. It was developed by ProgressPlay, a Maltese operator famous for such online gambling and betting powerhouses as Mobile Wins, Pots of Luck, and Casino Kings.

The platform was launched in 2018 to the overwhelming approval of British punters. Since then, we’ve been itching to test it out and write our own VStar Bet review. We’ll take a look at the most important aspects of the site, including its sports catalogue, banking features, bonus offers, and much more. Read on to decide whether this platform is worth your time and money.

The Software

The website does a great job of supporting both desktop and mobile versions while maintaining optimal functionality. Although the website is covered in flash animations and HD imagery, loading times are quite fast, making transitions between pages seamless.

Although the VStar Bet app isn’t currently available, mobile users can still have heaps of fun on the site’s desktop platform. Usually, mobile apps lack some key gameplay options that are available in the browser version, so playing directly from your mobile browser isn’t the be-all and end-all in this case.

Sports Catalog

VStarBet’s sports catalogue isn’t quite as rich as we’d hope, although it features all the most popular sports you’d expect to find on an online sportsbook. These include football, tennis, basketball, horse racing, baseball, and cricket. There are also some more obscure sports, including Australian rules football and esports. If you want to take a punt in the world of video games, VStarBet accepts bets on CS:GO, Dota 2, and LoL, among others. All in all, the VStar Bet sports catalogue has enough to keep most punters interested, but not as much as some of its competitors.

To place a bet, you’ll have to select the sport and league you’re interested in, either by picking it from the category list on the left or clicking on any odds display button in the centre of the screen. When you click on it, a small window will appear on the right side with information about your selected match, bet type, and stakes.

Once you’ve made your bet, it will be recorded on your account history. Note that all bets are final, meaning you can’t change them once the cogs are in motion.

Betting Features

The biggest strength of VStarBet when compared to other betting apps and sites is its incredibly detailed live betting section. This up-and-coming juggernaut has a live betting option for almost every sport it hosts. It even lets you create your own calendar by dragging your favourite sports, leagues, and matches to an interactive live betting interface. This can serve both as your reminder and your personal betting space.

The only thing we noticed lacking in the site’s betting roster during the making of this VStar Bet review was a selection of more advanced betting options. The website lets you choose between modern, classic, and combo bets, but nothing more exotic than that.

If you are more of a casual punter who only wishes to play a match or two then leave, VStarBet also offers a live overview page. Here you can check scores from every live sporting match, as well as a live betting calendar that neatly displays all matches in chronological order.

Free Bet Offers

If you’re a new customer looking for an enticing welcome present, you can do much worse than claiming this site’s straightforward welcome bonus. The website grants you a €10 free bet if you deposit at least €10. You only seven days to wager through your free bet before it expires, but you only have to turn over the amount once before you can withdraw it, which is great value. However, you can only place your free bet on odds of 1.5 or more. If you’re using Skrill, you won’t be eligible for the welcome bonus.

Banking

Loading your funds is to VStarBet is just as easy as making a bet. All you need to do is find the “Cashier” button and click on it. The VStar Bet minimum deposit amount is €20, while the minimum withdrawal is different for each payment method; it’s worth may consulting the site’s T&C page for more info on your preferred payment method. Currently, the site supports more than a dozen different payment methods. These include the standard credit and debit cards, as well as Zimpler, Skrill, Neteller, paysafecard, Trustly, and ecoPayz.

Languages and Country Restrictions

Although the website is open to players from around the world, there are still some countries that are excluded due to local regulations. The list of restricted territories includes Australia, Denmark, France, Spain, the USA, and several others. The website is currently only available in two languages: English and German.

Live Support

If at any point something unexpected happens, it’s good to have a helping hand. Just like any other reputable gambling business, VStarBet employs a team of helpful customer support specialists to make sure you have an enjoyable experience. These agents work via Comm100’s fast platform, so you know they’re reliable.

While writing this review, we reached out to VStarBet’s customer support team with a set of questions on banking and bonuses. The site’s staff responded quickly with helpful answers. If you don’t want to use the live chat option, you can contact VStarBet by filling out the email form located next to the live chat button.

Final Words

VStarBet is a feature-packed, beautifully designed betting site. It is built upon a neatly decorated foundation, with an intuitive layout that invites players into a thrilling betting adventure. The only real negative we found while compiling our VStarBet review was the lacklustre sports selection. However, the list is growing, so we’re hoping that the website will soon offer a much bigger assortment of sports. And while VStarBet lags behind in traditional sports, its esports section is one of the most comprehensive we’ve found to date.
