Pros

• £20 in free bets when you claim the welcome bonus for new UK customers

• More than 60 football betting markets

Cons

• Website lags and can take a while to load, and some pages are unavailable

Typically, a betting site already has a reputation or is known for a unique feature that makes it memorable. Alfobet, on the other hand, is a mystery to the majority of UK customers. The bookmaker has every component necessary to run smoothly, from a license by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC) to 128-bit Secure Socket Layer technology that safeguards your data. But what does it offer UK customers?

Free Bet Offer For UK Customers

Signing up to Alfobet took us no time at all. Click Register, enter your email and then choose a username and password. On the second page you will be asked for your first and last name, birthday, gender, address, and phone number. If you have a bonus code, you can type it in here. Lastly, you can tick the button which gives you the option to receive special bonus offers via email, text, or phone, which you don't have to agree to. You can do this for both sports and the casino.

The welcome bonus is £20 in free bets when you deposit a minimum of £20. The terms and conditions are listed on the website, but when we clicked them they didn't load. Hopefully the website will be renovated soon as this is unprofessional.

• Your first bet must be a minimum of £20

• Your first bet must be at minimum odds of 1/1

• Your first bet can be a single, accumulator, or bet builder

• The maximum winnings you can get from the free bet is £200

• You cannot use the free bet on horse racing

• The free bet minimum odds are 4/5

Other Promotions

The other promotions at Alfobet are the early payout on football, price boosts on several sports, and bet builder boosts that increase your payout.

Early Payout

The early payout promotion is applied to match winner football bets. So, if you bet on a certain team to win a match, this would be a bet that the early payout promotion works on. However, check beforehand and there are some anomalies. When your team is two goals up at any point in the match, not including half-time, your bet automatically turns into a successful one and you will get your payout regardless of how the rest of the game turns out.

Example:

• You bet that Manchester United will win against Arsenal with odds of 7/2

• 81 minutes in the score is 3-1 so you get Early Payout

• Whether Arsenal scores in the remaining time or the match result stays this way, you will get your winnings

Price Boosts

The promotions page shows a few bonuses, one of which is the price boosts. However, when we opened the sportsbook, the only boosts we found were bet builders and accumulator bets.

Price boosts are a fantastic feature because they mean that you can stake the same amount, but get a bigger payout as the odds have been increased. For instance, if you stake £20 on a football bet that has been enhanced from 18/5 to 19/5, your potential payout is boosted from a £72 profit to a £76 profit. Therefore, the promotion would earn you an extra £4.

Bet Builder and Acca Boosts

The boosts at Alfobet can be found on the main page, on the left side if you are using a desktop, featured in a box and the sliding menu shows up to six price boosts at any one time. They are at the top if you are on a mobile browser. Every day, the bet builder boosts and acca boosts change. When we visited Alfobet we found the following EFL boosts:

• Reading to win and both teams to score

• Stevenage, Plymouth, and Luton all to win

• Stevenage to win and over 2.5 goals scored

Bet builders are multiple legs on the same event, whilst accumulator bets combine different events into one wager.

Sporting Markets Available

From the 31 sports, there are favourites: football, volleyball, tennis, ice hockey, horse racing, golf, basketball, baseball, and cricket.

Football

Football is perhaps the broadest category because there are a plethora of events from league finals to friendlies, so when comparing betting sites we should take a close look at the range of matches. Alfobet offered betting on 175 matches when we reviewed the site, most of which were EFL Trophy but also Premier League, League One, League Two, National League, and Championship.

You can place in-play bets, bet builders, and accumulator bets. It would be nice to see modern features like the randomized Lucky Dip or something similar.

Horse Racing

The choices for horse racing at Alfobet are vast, such as races in England, South Africa, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. You can watch these races, favourite them, or place live bets. There are no best odds guaranteed, so if the starting price is higher than the fixed odds you will regrettably receive a lower payout. A lot of promotions like extra places and second to the winner are not offered.

Volleyball

The volleyball leagues that UK punters can choose from are the NCAA (USA), Campeonato Paulista (Brazil), World Championship (International), and FIVB World Championship (International). The betting markets include match betting, correct score, total number of sets, and handicaps.

Tennis

The ATP events found at Alfobet are the US Open, French Open, Australian Open, and Wimbledon. The WTA events are also the same four championships. Additionally, 77 Challenger matches are listed like Genoa, Seville, Istanbul, and Shanghai. The betting markets are minimal, including the main options like first set winner, correct score, and match winner.

Basketball

Basketball at Alfobet is average. There were 2 in-play betting options: both games in the European Championship. Other leagues include the NBA, WNBA, Eurocup, Euroleague, Pro A, BBL, A1, Liga ACB, LNBP, and Paulista League. The main basketball betting market is the winner.

E-sports

As Alfobet has an excellent choice of e-sports, we can recommend them for e-sports betting. You can pick from Starcraft, Rainbow Six, League of Legends, Kings of Glory, DOTA 2 and Counter-Strike, which is noticeably more than other UK betting sites. Also, you can watch the games live.

Specials

Specials is a mixed category that often includes one or two awards shows. At Alfobet, there are more choices:

• Emmy Awards: Lead Actor In Comedy Series, Lead Actor In Drama Series, Supporting Actors

• BBC Sports Personality: Winner

• UK Politics: Next Prime Minister, Next Permanent Labour Party Leader, Most Seats

Why Choose Alfobet

Alfobet has some rewarding features that make betting more entertaining and more financially satisfying.

Bet Builder

We mentioned above that there are bet builder boosts, but how do you make your own bet builder instead of relying on the preprepared bets pushed out by Alfobet?

To begin, pick a match. Then, turn on one-click betting in the settings. Enabling this feature means that you can add selections to your betslip by clicking the odds, which is much faster. Just add all of the markets you want to include, like match winner, both teams to score, full-time result, correct score, double chance, draw no bet, handicaps, Asian handicaps, and over/ under goals.

Another way to place a bet builder is using the tool on the side which features leagues like League One, NBA, MLB, The Rugby Championship, AFL, NFL, and NRL.

Live Streaming

To stream, you have to log in first. As long as you have a registered account, you can watch free horse racing. Other details about the race that you can access are the race times, distance in yards, jockey, trainer, odds, and the racecourse weather. Cumulatively these features make sure that you have the best chance possible to place a winning bet.

Payment Methods

Alfobet has a surprisingly long list of accepted payment methods, which is uncommon for new UK betting sites. Of course, this is a huge advantage, as there are some untraditional digital payment platforms that you can use which may not be allowed with other betting sites.

• Jeton

• Neteller

• PayPal

• Skrill

• Sofort

E-wallets like Trustly are processed within 24 hours.

E-wallets like Skrill, Neteller, PayPal, and MuchBetter are processed between 1 to 2 business days.

Alfobet Conclusion

Alfobet has redeeming qualities to make up for the poorly constructed website and limited bonuses. There are a variety of payment methods, a fantastic bet builder tool, live streaming, and lots of accumulator bet boosts. Taking everything into account, it is a safe UK betting site that is particularly recommended if you want to bet on football, volleyball, e-sports, and specials.
