Main reasons to give new betting sites a go
Mobile first
We all place a lot of our bets these days on the go on our mobile devices. New online betting sites come usually with a very modern and user-friendly layout that is especially mobile-friendly. While most sites do not invest in a native mobile app the mobile site experience usually makes up for it. This means that you will have a fantastic betting entertainment across all mobile devices, from Android smartphones to iOS devices.
Fantastic new games content
New betting sites usually impress with a more varied betting offering. With the COVID-pandemic sports betting options were very limited and therefore bettors have discovered alternative content. Mainly Betgames and the Live Games by Evolution kept us entertained while no sports was on.
These games are fast paced and offer a thrilling live gameplay with additional fixed bet options. As they play 24/7/365 there is always an opportunity to place a winning bet while having fun with the live dealers. Aside from live instant win games, virtuals and esports are seeing increased popularity and new betting sites are generally the first to offer these. The virtual games offering covers great racing and sports games as well as numbers and lottery games. Popular titles such as Spin & Win or Keno by Golden Race are usually available.
Great welcome offer and service
More and more online betting sites to choose from means more competition between bookmakers. This results in very attractive offers for us punters. Therefore, being one of the early players on a new betting site can pay off as welcome offers are usually very attractive and you are treated with excellence. The first impression counts, and bad reviews are a killer for a new site.
While we might all have our favourite bookie it is worth shopping around and comparing events and odds. Adding new online betting sites to your portfolio of bookies is a great strategy for the best returns.
