The 188bet betting company started its work on the market quite a long time ago – in 2006. This brand was created by British investors, or to be more precise, by Cube Limited. Despite its British origin, the office has been trying to gain a foothold in the Asian market since the very beginning of its existence. And if the position of the office is strong in Asia, then not everyone in Europe knows about the existence of this bookmaker.
188Bet has two licenses – a British one, as well as a permit from the Isle of Man regulatory authority. As a model for the development of the office, the same scheme was chosen as that of the famous bookmaker Pinnacle. This means that 188Bet offers high limits as well as good odds.
Website
The 188Bet office has two websites, each of which operates under its own license. Portal in the domain co.uk uses a British license, and the site 188bet.com – Isle of Man permit. We will consider the international version of the portal
On the main page of the 188Bet website you will find a huge advertising window in which the office advertises its offers (mainly casinos and slots). There is also a news feed and links to non-main sections of the portal. The design of the portal is modern and strict. The main colors in the design: white, dark, gray.
The Sports item is responsible for the sports betting section. The bookmaker’s pages are designed according to the standard scheme. On the left are sitelinks, as well as a list of categories for betting. There is a window in the center with an announcement of the most interesting match of the day, and LIVE events are listed just below. In general, the information on the main page of the bookmaker section is not organized in the best way – there are too many windows with announcements of events. Although you can get used to the structure in a few minutes.
The rest of the site is easy to use. For example, visitors can add individual events or entire leagues to the favorites list. If desired, you can enable the “Asian” version of the site. There is also a statistics and results section on the 188Bet website. Owners of smartphones and tablets can use the mobile version of the website.

Sports, events and odds
Despite its focus on the Asian market, the 188Bet bookmaker has a line that can be compared with other European and British bookmakers. In total, about 20 different betting categories are available for betting. Including 188Bet gives a line on esports, offers financial bets, and also accepts bets on TV shows, politics, economics. The five main categories of 188Bet are: football, basketball, tennis, snooker, volleyball.
Football is covered at an average level. In addition to betting on matches of European championships, national team matches, meetings of club continental competitions, 188Bet also accepts bets on championship matches of South Korea, Venezuela, China. The painting of the most interesting matches contains some interesting options. For example, you can put the author of the scored goal on a yellow card.
Tennis is covered up to the ITF series tournaments. The painting of the ATP/WTA match contains about 40-50 different options. However, they are all focused on the main markets. Basketball, though nominally the second most popular sport in the office, but the line is much worse than in tennis. Events are added to the site just a day before the start, and the number of regions is barely more than 10. The painting is quite interesting at the same time. You can put on the last digit in the column of points scored by the team. Hockey is covered at about the same level as basketball. The painting of the NHL match is weak- handicaps, totals, odd-odd.
The odds in the 188Bet betting shop are among the most “Delicious” on the market. For example, you can find combinations of 1.95-1.95 for basketball handicaps. Units of other BCS may be surprised by how low the margin is (2.5-3%).
