QuinnBet Review


Not only are Quinnbet accessible in the UK, they tend to focus on the British and Irish markets so, if you are looking for a new bookmaker, that’s a strong, early plus point. The list of available sports has a strong UK bias and odds are competitive enough to compete with the more established operators.

They went online as recently as 2017 but QuinnBet are building a strong reputation that suggests we should look at them in greater detail in this review.

Sporting Markets and Odds Value

The UK and Irish focus can be seen as soon as QuinnBet players land on the site where there are frequent references to GAA Sports. Overall there is a full list of sports that British players will welcome and it reads as follows:

American Football, Australian Rules Football, Baseball, Basketball, Boxing, MMA, Cricket, Cycling, Darts, Football, GAA Football, GAA Hurling, Golf, Greyhounds, Handball, Horse Racing, Ice Hockey, Motorsports, Pool, Rugby League, Rugby Union, Snooker, Tennis, Volleyball.

It’s a traditional British and Irish list and that traditionalism is emphasised by the absence of modern sectors such as eSports. There is, however, a section for virtual sports and punters can also bet on QuinnBet specials from the worlds of entertainment and politics.

In terms of odds, it’s too soon to expect QuinnBet to appear on any of the odds comparison sites but prices seem very competitive in core British sports and there is a Best Odds Guarantee scheme for all UK and Irish horse racing.

Banking

The banking section is one area that could possibly be expanded because, as of July 2018, the only options for depositing to and withdrawing from a QuinnBet customer account were debit cards.

UK customers should generally have access to some form of plastic but it would be useful to see some eWallets providers added – particularly the major operators such as Skrill and Neteller.

Banking Deposits and Withdrawals

QuinnBet have worked hard to develop a number of areas of their betting platform and the banking section has benefited. After initially only taking debit cards as a means of deposit and withdrawal, the bookmaker has added two eWallets in the shape of Skrill and Trustly.

There’s definitely room for more funding providers to come on board but this is a good sign and it should certainly help to increase the QuinnBet customer base.

In terms of timescales, betting customers can expect all deposits to be instant so you can hit the confirm button at the cashier and your account balance will be updated as soon as you refresh the page. It’s fair to expect that from all of our sportsbooks as they simply want us to start playing straight away without any delay. Similarly, the situation with withdrawals at the QuinnBet website is typical of the rest of the industry.

QuinnBet state on their website that they aim to process withdrawals within 24 hours but it doesn’t mean that you will see returns land in your account within that time frame. Players should be prepared to wait for 2-3 days but it should be quick in the majority of cases. Once again, it’s quite fair when you consider that any operator has to carry out verification checks to ensure that their customer base is safe and secure when playing online.

The final point is in regard to fees and players should be able to deposit and withdraw to their QuinnBet account without incurring any charges from the operator. As a caveat to this point, customers should check to make sure that the funding method they are using doesn’t apply any charges of their own. Some smaller eWallets may make a charge to their account holders so do be clear on this point before using them.

Customer Service

The help option button is where you would usually expect to find it – at the top right edge of the QuinnBet site. There is no live chat facility at present but there is a dedicated support email which sits alongside a list of basic, but easy to follow, Frequently Asked Questions.

Once again, this type of customer service is another area of the set up that could perhaps be developed in the months and years that follow and a live chat would prove particularly useful but the email customer service appears to be fast and efficient.

Customer Support

Live Chat

Since we first constructed this QuinnBet review, the company has plugged a gap in their customer service by adding a live chat facility. It’s a big positive at a time when many customers continue to access this as their first choice and it comes with a number of plus points.

Firstly, the QuinnBet live chat service is available for both new, existing and prospective customers. Some betting sites only make their live chat available for those that have already signed up but if you have a query before you complete registration, you can access it.

The operator’s customer support is also available 24/7 and this is the fastest way to answer any gambling questions that you may have so the addition of QuinnBet live chat is really good news.

FAQs About QuinnBet

What is the Minimum Bet with QuinnBet?

QuinnBet have set a minimum bet limit of £1.00 across all of their markets. So, if you want to take a less-than-confident punt on an outsider, or you just want to test the operator out, you can go in with as little as a quid.

Remember, that for the QuinnBet sign up offer and for any other QuinnBet deal, the minimum deposit and bet may be higher but for general betting, you can go down to that £1.00 level.

Is QuinnBet Licensed and Secure?

QuinnBet are licensed and based in the Republic of Ireland and they are also regulated by the UK Gambling Commission. Their UK Gambling Commission number is available on their website and it confirms that they can provide betting services to customers within the United Kingdom. That’s a first positive because the UK Gambling Commission simply wouldn’t deal with an unauthorised site that isn’t looking to treat its customers fairly, they always try to promote responsible gambling.

In terms of security and safety while betting online, this is an increasingly important question among the betting community and it’s important for this QuinnBet review to address it.

The company employs secure SSL software to encrypt your information when playing online. They are also affiliated with an independent company called IBAS who would be there to intervene in the case of any disputes. QuinnBet also publishes games that work with random results so that all plays are fair. In addition, they are very open and honest about these points and all of the information concerned can be found on their website. To conclude, this is a very positive aspect of our QuinnBet review as we find an operator that takes licensing and security exceptionally seriously.

Are there any Win Limits with QuinnBet?

There is a maximum win limit with QuinnBet and this is set at £40,000 over any 24 hour period. It’s a level that applies to all sporting markets and in that sense, it’s a very simple rule to follow.

Regular bettors will know that some bookmakers do go higher than that figure but £40,000 is a sum that will comfortably cover sports betting for most QuinnBet customers. However, players should always keep the sum in mind if they are looking at a high-stakes bet.

Are there any usual Promotions, Free Bets or Offers with QuinnBet?

QuinnBet is an operator that always likes to add extra value through offers, free bets and promotions. Remember that any specific deal is always going to be subject to change but players can always expect to grab a QuinnBet free bet or some other promo at any given time.

The full list of QuinnBet promotions in our review should start with a welcome offer. As of early 2020, this provided a choice of a £5.00 free bet when players staked a qualifier of £10.00 or, they could claim back 50% of any betting losses on the first day that their QuinnBet account is live. The refunds can climb up to £25 as an upper limit so it’s down to the individual customer’s preference.

Once players have taken advantage of that initial deal, they can usually find a set of ongoing QuinnBet promotions for existing customers. Once again, these are all subject to change but these might include accumulator bonuses, a weekly QuinnBet free bet from their loyalty club and a ‘bore draw’ deal in the football markets. While the exact nature of the terms and conditions can change, one QuinnBet offer that has remained constant is the best odds guarantee on all UK and Irish horse racing. It’s a common promotion amongst all sportsbooks but it’s good to see it being offered here.

To stay informed, keep checking our pages or click on the promotions tab on the main QuinnBet website.

Is there a QuinnBet Mobile App?

To round off this QuinnBet review, we can confirm that there is a mobile app in place to make betting more flexible. This is particularly useful in the in-play betting markets but all customers should consider it, whether they like to bet in-play or ante-post.

For iPhone users, the process is very simple as the app in question can be quickly located in the store. Just search for QuinnBet and when the result comes up, click on the ‘get’ button and it will appear on your device in seconds.

With Android phones, users can check in Google Play but betting apps are often absent. In this case, just head over to the QuinnBet mobile website and perform the download from there.

No matter whether you have iPhone or Android, you can still access any regular promotions plus the Quinn Bet sign up offer that happens to be applicable at the time. It’s free and fast and would be a good addition for all QuinnBet customers.

Conclusion

QuinnBet seems to have set out its stall as a bookmaker who is focussed on the UK in general and then, on Ireland in particular. That’s good news for British and Irish punters and the benefits start with a set of gambling markets that is primarily a traditional one and includes both greyhound and horse racing.

There are lots of QuinnBet promotions available at any one time, including a simple to follow welcome bonus so the value is here for the life of anyone’s account.

There could perhaps be an increase in the number of customer service and funding options but that shouldn’t be a barrier to getting on board with a new and progressive bookmaker who combines choice and value to a strong degree and who also has a dedication to UK and Irish players.

Pros

  • Extensive set of sports betting markets with competitive prices at the site
  • UK and Irish focus with those gambling markets which include Horse Racing and Greyhound Racing
  • Welcome Bonus in place plus good choice of ongoing promotions

Cons

  • Only funding options available as of July 2018 are debit cards
