32Red Review

32Red Review – Introduction:

32Red are one of the biggest names in online gaming. Their casino originally launched in 2002 and has become a powerhouse in the casino world, winning several coveted awards including the “Casino of the Decade” – which is quite an accolade.

They launched their own sportsbook to accompany their profitable casino business. 32Red made sure to incorporate the familiar colour scheme (which you’ll be shocked to learn is red) and exemplary customer service to their sportsbook.

32Red sponsors several sports teams including Swansea City FC in the Premier League and Rangers FC in Scotland.

The 32Red platform is shared with Unibet. They use a software provider called Kambi, so you will notice a similar system as you try each site out. You will also notice if a price changes on one site it will change with the other two bookmakers at the same time. 32Red’s website will tell you if there is any offer available for new customers if you join their site.

Reputation and Reliability:

Their casino business has an impeccable reputation which bodes well for their sportsbook. We’ve been using the site for years and haven’t encountered any issues. 32Red have a Gibraltar license so you can have the fullest confidence that your money is safe.

32Red – CSGO Betting:

CSGO betting is quite new to 32Red. As it stands they only offer match winner bets like CSGOLounge. They do put the effort in to offer markets not only for the major events but also the weekly tournaments such as CEVO, ESL ESEA Pro League and FACEIT.

32Red – eSports history:

32Red only started offering esports betting in August 2015 and as well as CounterStrike, they offer games such as StarCraft II and League of Legends. They haven’t done any marketing towards esports yet or anything of any real significance thus far.

Payment Options:

As you’d expect with 32Red’s background being casino, 32RedSport offers a wide range of standard deposit/withdrawal offers such as your credit or debit card, Ukash and NETELLER or Skrill. 32red do withhold your cash upon receiving a withdrawal request. This is so they can process the withdrawal. In reality it’s so you can have access to what you’ve asked to withdraw in order to reverse the transaction to add funds to your account.

If you’re the type of person that wants quick access to your funds after bet settlement (hours, not a couple of days) we suggest William Hill or Paddy Power. Not fussed about withdrawal times? You’re sorted then. Patience is rewarding.

Additional to this you can only withdraw back to payment methods used previously. You cannot deposit £10 via your credit card and withdraw it instantly to your PayPal. This is a standard anti-money laundering practice and is the same with all bookmakers.

Customer Support:

32Red pride themselves on having world class support. They offer the standard live chat, telephone and snail mail options. On top of this they offer Skype support. Add them with the username “skype_32red” for an instant response.

We recommend checking out their “help centre” which has a searchable database of frequently asked questions and any rules queries you might have. If you don’t find your answer there then we suggest live chat or Skype to get a swift resolution to your problem.

Website & Betting Options:

Unfortunately the 32Red website isn’t the easiest to use. An all too common problem is people go directly to the homepage and then cannot find the sports section. They haven’t done the best job of integrating their casino with their sports betting product. You’ll need to click “sports betting” on their homepage.

Either way, once you’re in the sportsbook, you’ll find “E-Sports” on the left hand side, keep scrolling and you’ll find it. You can separate between the different games easily and it’s a simple, easy to use section.

32Red allows you to do multiple bets with other sports which is great if you’re a football fan.

One thing to bare in mind is 32Red doesn’t have massive limits. If you’re looking to put a large bet on a CSGO match you’re going to struggle. Remember, Esports betting is still a bit niche so bookmakers are treading carefully. 32Red are incredibly cautious as to the volumes of money they’ll take on an Esports event – but if you like playing casinos, it’s hard to find a better one.

Sports Markets:

32Red offers other Esports markets such as League of Legends and Dota2. 32Red’s bread and butter is the mainstream sports, you can bet on Football, Tennis, Golf, Cricket, Rugby Union, Rugby League & Snooker. Additionally these following sports have a limited offering: American Football, Aussie Rules Football, Badminton, Baseball, Basketball, Boxing, Chess, Cycling, Cyclo-Cross, Darts, Floorball, Handball, Ice Hockey, Motorsports, Olympic Games, Pesapallo, Poker, Politics, Pool, Surging, Trotting, UFC/MMA and Volleyball.

Generally they offer Win-Draw-Win betting opportunities with the major first goalscorer and correct score markets thrown in. You can also bet outright with many golf & tennis tournaments have a constant flow of outright bets with each way terms.

Other Products:

32Red has several different products, namely Premium Casino, Instant Arcade, Live Casino, Playboy Casino, Poker and Bingo.

The Playboy Casino is a live dealer experience like no other! All the (female) dealers are dressed in Playboy attire. Their platform is powered by Microgaming which gives it a realistic and smooth feel. In addition to the live dealer experience, 32Red has several big progressive slots with regular jackpots exceeding £500,000. Games such as Mega Moolah, Fruit Fiesta and King Cashalot.

32Red run several promotions for you to get the most out of their casinos and these are definitely worth checking out.

Verdict:

Although 32Red’s website isn’t the best it’s in line with their mid-tier competitors, their CSGO prices are very competitive. We’ve found ourselves using 32Red to place our bets on plenty of occasions and would have no issues doing so moving forward. If you’re looking to play in the casino as well, 32Red is definitely worth checking out as this is where they excel. See their website to see if there is a casino bonus available for new customers.
