It’s certainly good to see that a higher percentage of new bookmakers are getting a license that allows them to offer services to UK players. Doors are still closed elsewhere, but many new bookies realise that this is such an important sector of the market and one of those new operators is LV BET.
LV BET will find, however, that they need to stand out in terms of choice and value so what are they doing to attract our attention?
Potentially, LV BET have one of the highest earning new customer deals around although players would have to make a fairly high credit in order to claim the top level. It can give you up to £100.00 in bonus cash as a 10% match so, while you would need to deposit £1000 in order to get that, it does have a low entry point of £10.00 if you want to test this bookmaker out.
Check terms and conditions relating to qualifying bets as there are steps to follow but this is a good offer to kick things off.
At the time of writing in August 2017, LV BET were not listing any ongoing promotions but that could certainly change when the Premier League football season gets in full swing. In the meantime, there is a loyalty programme where you earn LV points for every 5 Euros that you bet on the sportsbook. Points can also be earned elsewhere and for every 200 points you can claim 2 Euros cashback.
The list of markets at LV BET may look as if it is geared more to mainland Europe but there should definitely be plenty here for UK punters to enjoy.
Obviously horse racing is missing from the website which is a pity but all of the core sports are there and, if you are a fan of eSports betting, this could be the place to be as LV BET have a separate section where they list all of the major upcoming tournaments.
Prices look good across the board too and if you like traditional English markets then LV BET are strong on football, cricket and tennis in particular.
Players in the UK tend to fund only with debit cards plus the two main eWallets and you can do this here. All major cards are accepted plus Skrill and Neteller are accepted by LV BET too.
If you need one of the smaller providers, you can also withdraw or make a deposit through paysafecard, Zimpler, Trustly, Sporopay, Euteller and iDeal.
There are a number of ways in which you can fund your account at LV BET UK but what are the payment methods limits and do these change with each option?
At the bottom of the homepage, there is a link marked ‘payments’ which explains everything. Click on it and some banners will come up depicting the payment providers that are on the roster with this sportsbook. You don’t have to be registered as an existing account holder so there’s no need to perform your LV BET login to do this – all information can be clearly seen by all website visitors to this payments page.
For players in the UK, the vast majority of payment operators have the same set levels for deposits and withdrawals. The minimum is set at £10.00 and the maximum is at £5000. There are some exceptions to this rule with Sofort listing a £10.00 low mark and a maximum of £2,000.
With PaySafeCard, the minimum remains at £10.00 but the maximum is reduced this time to £1000. For all other providers, including Skrill, bank cards, Trustly, Zimpler and MuchBetter, those standard levels of £10.00 minimum and £5000 maximum will apply.
LVBET have a support link at the top right corner of the website and when clicked, this has two further options. The first of these is a live chat operator which many players prefer and they can answer the specific query in the shortest possible space of time.
For those that prefer something a little more anonymous, the second link leads to a web form plus a telephone number and beside this is a list of Frequently Asked Questions. These are OK but by contacting via the chat or web form, you should get a quick and comprehensive answer.
While this may not seem an essential part of any LV BET review, it’s useful to know how the betting procedure works. No bettor wants to be involved in a complicated procedure – they just want to claim their odds and confirm a bet in the shortest possible time.
Fortunately, things are very simple at LV BET UK and if you’ve ever staked on a sporting event online, you’ll be very comfortable with this. In order to test this out properly, you will need to be registered and you’ll need to input your LV BET login first but from that point, things are very straightforward.
To kick the process off, find the bet that you want from the list of available sports at LV BET UK. Let’s just assume it’s a football match for now and, once you’ve clicked on the event, you will see three possible options in the result market – a win for either side and the draw.
In this instance, you’ve decided to bet on the draw and you see fractional odds of 2/1. Click on that figure and a virtual betslip will open up on the right hand side of the screen. You’re going to bet £5.00 so simply type that number into the relevant box. If you’re happy, just click on the big yellow button at the bottom of that betslip and your bet has been made.
That’s the process for a single win bet but if you want to change things around, the process remains very simple. If an each way bet is available, you can amend this before confirming and, you can add extra selections if you want to construct a straight line multiple or a formula bet such as a Trixie, a Goliath or a Lucky 15.
Even if you are completely new to betting online, you’ll find that this is a very swift and simple way to place a bet so this concludes another positive section of our LV BET review.
It’s an important question and one that more bettors are starting to ask. Sportsbooks and casinos can hold personal information and financial details so we need to know that they are safe and secure. The first point to check on is whether the company are licensed and regulated to provide betting services in your country and in this case, we’re talking about the UK.
A quick scroll down to the bottom of the homepage tells us that LVBET are licensed in Malta and that they are regulated by the UK Gambling Commission. They even list their UK Gambling Commission number and that’s a strong endorsement because the commission simply would not work with a site that isn’t legitimate.
LV BET also have a separate section of their website that talks about the question of security. It can be found under the About Us link and it goes into further detail as to how the operator keeps your details safe when you are playing online. This section underlines the fact that LV BET UK adhere to the European Union Act relating to the protection of personal information and this means that they simply must comply with the rulings laid down by the EU.
The security team at LV BET continually monitor activity and work around the clock to ensure that any data you have ever given them remains safe and secure. The operator also works with third party organisations such as eCogra who will arbitrate on any disputes and they promote responsible gambling through certain companies.
Overall, this is a very strong security package and as this section of our LVBET review comes to a close, players should feel very confident of their safety when they sign up and play here.
For those that want flexibility in their mobile play or, a platform that offers faster access to the live markets, an app is usually the best solution. With all operators, it is possible to access their sportsbook through a mobile phone just by searching for the company on the regular browser. Once found, the mobile website can be bookmarked for future use but this remains the slowest way in which to log on and start betting.
An app is so much easier because with one click, you can proceed to the LV BET log in page and get to the markets right away. That’s why it’s good news that LV BET UK do have an app for British customers and it is available for both the iOS and Android platforms.
In terms of minimum requirements, anyone with an Android device should have the 5.0 operating system installed as a bare minimum. For those accessing the LV BET UK mobile app with an iOS phone or device, they must have version 7 or above.
For any mobile app, we would always recommend installing the latest software update as soon as it becomes available. This way, your app will keep loading quickly and it will work to optimum performance every time you use your LV BET login to access it.
The last point to pick up on in this LV BET section is the download process and that will differ depending on which of the two platforms you happen to have. For iPhone users, it’s really very simple as all you will need to do is head to the app store. From here, just type in LV BET into the search bar and it’s likely to be the second result – just behind a promoted app. Click on the ‘get’ button and this should appear on your screen in just a matter of seconds.
The procedure for an Android device is slightly different and this is because of Google’s reluctance to list online gambling apps. Instead of hitting up the app store, players should locate the mobile LV BET UK website in their regular browser. Once found, there should be a link to download the LV BET sports betting app and players will progress from there.
In both cases, the apps are free and fast and they should appear on your screen in a matter of seconds. Functionality is just the same as the desktop version so the main sports betting site should be quick to load and fast to navigate around.
LV BET do offer live betting and there is a separate section for this on their website. That’s a good sign because it means that they take this aspect of betting seriously and there should always be a host of live options for players to enjoy.
To access the markets, simply go to the top of the homepage and click on the tab marked ‘live betting’. This will then bring up all of the options that are available at that specific point in time. Bettors will note that at normal times in the sporting calendar, there is a strong emphasis on core sports such as football and tennis but most of the regular list is covered. When accessing the live markets at LV BET UK, customers will also find the same great set of markets and odds so this is a very comprehensive area of the operation that ticks all of our boxes.
Aside from the regular English language customer support facilities, customers can also seek help in Polish. This customer support option is available on both live chat and email but for all telephone enquiries, English is the only language listed at the time of writing.
This list could be expanded in the future but for now, there is some flexibility when it comes to seeking assistance in different languages. There is also a list of restricted countries, (United States is a typical example for this) so if you reside in one of those you are likely to be banned from using the bookmaker’s services.
There is lots to enjoy at LV BET and if you are happy to deposit a high bankroll to start things off, the £100.00 maximum welcome bonus is a generous one. The same applies to the loyalty programme which needs a lot of staking but if you are one of the regular players than you will be able to reach the reward limits fairly comfortably.
The choice of markets is good and while we would like to see horse racing included from a UK point of view, all our popular options are here and there are good prices, making LV BET a UK-friendly operator worth considering.
