GTBets Sportsbook Review

Rewards and special bonuses encourage bettors to keep coming back to a site and betting on available sports. While GTBets might not have the best bonus packages in the industry, there are some really decent offers for new and recurring players. Let’s delve into the details of the available offers.

Welcome Bonus Offer

Welcome bonuses are an excellent way to boost your bankroll and start your gambling on a high note. GTBets has an excellent bonus package to kick off your betting on a high note. Let us explore what’s on offer on the platform.

• Signup Bonus: Get %100 percent up to $500 when you sign up on the site for the first time.
• Bitcoin Deposit Bonus: A Bitcoin deposit will earn you an additional 50% up to $250.
• Second Deposit Bonus: You will also get 50% up to $250 on your second deposit. The total welcome package can therefore go as high as $750. Note that you can only claim this bonus when you deposit more than $35 and have a 12x roll-over on your initial deposit.

GTBets Shitcodes

The use of shitcodes is one of the trendiest ways to keep punters interested in a sportsbook. Shitcodes are unique because players only get them after they achieve a specified milestone. While GTBets might not have shit codes at the moment, they offer several classic bonus codes.

• BTB100: The code helps you redeem the 100% up to $500 for your initial deposit, and also for the second deposit.

Existing Customer Promos

• 5-50% Reload Bonus: The platform automatically applies a reload bonus when you make a new deposit into your account. The only requirement to get this bonus is for players to have used at least 75% of their first time deposit bonus. The size of the bonus and rollover terms and conditions vary depending on the games played. However, you can expect between 6-25% for sports and 15-50% for casino games. Anyone that doesn’t qualify for the reload bonus simply keeps playing until the next reload.
• 300% up to $300 referral bonus: You could get up to $900 for referring a friend to GTBets. The amount you receive is calculated depending on the amount your friend deposits once they sign up to the account. Also, you’re only allowed to refer a friend and claim the bonus when you’ve made deposits of over $500 in your lifetime as a player for the casino. You also need 6X rollover to claim the bonus, which is quite low.
• Favorite Teams: GTBets offers you season-long rewards for picking your favorite team in the NFL and NCAA football leagues, and also the NBA and NCAA basketball leagues. You get half a free point on your favorite team’s odds for the season. For example, if your team’s odds are favored a -5, you get the line at -4.5.
• 10% on Horse and Casino Rebates: Horse races are quite popular on GTBets. If you are on a losing streak with your horse races for an entire week, the sportsbook will give you back a 10% rebate to ease the experience.

Loyalty Program 

Unlike most of the other sportsbooks available, GTBets actually has a loyalty program for their longtime players. You can check the details of the reward program by clicking on the ‘rewards’ button at the top of the page. The program has three tires:

• Silver
• Gold
• Platinum

You simply need to collect points and when you amass a specific amount, you can redeem them for money. The redemption rate is 1%, meaning that 3000 points will translate to $3. You can also choose to keep the points and enter them into sweepstakes.

You will find three types of odds on the platform:

• Moneylines: Being an American company, GTBets sportsbook favors money lines betting odds. These are the easiest to understand for most punters. Generally, a moneyline odd shows you how much money you will win for every $100 spent. The odds appear in pairs of + and -, with the plus side favoring the underdog and the minus favoring the favorite team to win the game. For example, a moneylines odd written +160 means that you will get back $160 after wagering $100 if the underdog team wins. On the other hand, -160 means that you have to stake $160 to get a $100 profit if the favorite team wins.
• Decimal: Some Canadian and English sports use the decimal system. Here, the even money bet starts at 2.0, and the odds shift in either direction. The decimal represents the amount you are likely to win for every dollar you bet. For example, a 2.20 odd means you can possibly win $1.20 after wagering $1 on the said team. On the other hand a -1.85 odd means you get $0.85 for every dollar staked.
• Fractional: The site also has fractional odds for English games. The system is quite simple. The first number is how much you stand to win when you bet on a particular team, while the second is how much you have to stake. For example, 8/7 means you will win $8 by wagering $7.

The platform has varying payout levels across the games, but the football offerings are where the site really shines.

The main sports offered on GTBets include American Football, Volleyball, Auto Racing, Tennis, Baseball, Table Tennis, Basketball, Soccer, Rugby, Cricket, Politics, Numbers Games, Virtual Sports, E-sports, Darts, Hockey, Handball, Horse racing, MMA Boxing, and Rugby. The platform covers a wide range of sporting events locally and internationally. The bets are organized into these categories:

You can also find local tournaments from various countries across the globe. You can choose sports that are relevant to your local settings or go for the popular international leagues and games.

Live Betting

GTBets didn’t have a live betting feature when it was first set up in 2011. However, they included it over time as the demand or in-play wagering grew. We gave it a try and while it isn’t at par with the ideal standards in the industry, new punters will have a fun wagering in football and tennis. They also allow live betting in both the small games and major leagues. The most impressive thing about the live betting function is the layout. The list of ongoing games is separate from the scheduled or upcoming games, which makes it easy to plan up to five days ahead of a game. The betting options include spreads, moneylines and totals, although you might also get props options for a few games. Our experience with the site’s live betting was positive.

eSports

GTBets Sportsbook also covers a wide range of eSport league odds. The featured games include Call of Duty, DOTA, League of Legends and CS:GO. They have gone further to include more than one league in some of the games. The only downside we found was that you cannot see all the eSports odds together for easy comparison. Instead, you have to scroll from one league to another to access the details. The category allows you to place various types of bets from money lines, handicap lines, and prop bets. Additionally, you can bet on correct scores, the outright winner, match winner, correct score, over/under and other options.

A quick assessment of GTBets Sportsbook operator shows that the developers wanted the user to have an easy time registering, depositing money, placing their wagers, and withdrawing earnings. The site has several ways one can get help if they get stuck with any of the processes. First is the live chat located at the bottom of the page. This option is only available when you’re logged into the site. When you try to use it as a non-member, it redirects you to either log in or send them an email. The site’s support is however helpful and very informed about their offerings and how the site works. You can also call the company when you have an issue that needs immediate attention. We found it commendable that the site has a phone number, as this is not a common support measure with sportsbooks and casinos. You can also reach the team through the following channels:

Live chat in site – Available 24/7

Emailing the support team – [email protected]

Emailing the Rewards team – [email protected]

Emailing the Cashout team – [email protected]

Telephone number – 1-800-509-4847

Before asking a question or pursuing the channels listed, you should also check out the site’s terms and conditions to find out if they’ve already answered your question. The FAQ pages also offer insightful information that could save you from spending too much time bothering the customer support teams. However, our GTBets sportsbook review concluded that the site is friendly and helpful to their users.

Mobile App 

Most sportsbooks prefer optimizing the mobile version of their pages because they want everyone to access the site and play on the go, but without the tedious process of downloading an app. GTBets doesn’t have a native App. However, they’ve optimized the mobile version of the site to a highly responsive and user-friendly interface. The mobile version is seamlessly compatible with android and iOS devices. The minimalist site design gets translated onto the mobile version of the sportsbook, increasing its user-friendliness.
