DoubleBet Casino is part of a big online gambling site launched in 2018. The site is licensed by Antillephone in Curacao by Orakum N.V. License No. 8048/Jaz. Payment processing is provided by Marikit Holdings LTD and Zavbin LTD of Cyprus. Other sites historically related to the operator include 1xslots, JVspin, and Megapari.

Casino gambling options here by themselves would make this a huge site with a game count approaching 5,000 titles from over 120 providers - however, there’s a lot more to the site than slots, bingo, and streaming live dealer games.  It's a sports betting site as well with a nearly uncountable amount of markets, odds, and options - the choices run well into the thousands on the sports-oriented pages.

In addition to prediction and live betting lines on nearly every form of competition known to mankind, look for Toto, eSports betting, 3D virtual sports, TV games like Live Lotto, and poker.

Games: Nearly 5,000 top-tier slots

The site has a good reputation overall, with very few casino complaints.  I can’t speak to the sportsbetting component other than to say I have never seen a book - no matter how highly rated - that doesn’t generate complaints of one type or another. It just seems to be the nature of the game. That said, I didn’t spend any time looking for or at sports betting disputes. 

Banking: More than two-dozen ways to get your money in or out, Crypto-friendly

We do find a representative from sister site, JVspin making themselves available on LCB’s Direct Casino Support forum with zero complaints on the public forum since they introduced themselves over a year ago. That’s always a good sign!

We’ll focus on the electronic games and live dealer games here because we understand them well and we can be very clear about the terms and conditions of any bonuses or any other variables.

Bonuses: First deposit match, weekend cash, cashback weekly, jackpot draws, and more

Software and Games

The casino and all gambling options are delivered right in your browser, regardless of the operating system you happen to be using. Android and iOS users can access the mobile site using a native browser, or navigate to the mobile page and download a dedicated app for iOS or Android devices. The app is said to make betting on mobile devices simpler and easier. We’ll be testing the product using browser-based software.

The language option is located in the upper right portion of the screen and there are nearly 40 choices including Malay, Indonesian, Swedish, Spanish, Hindi, and Arabic as well as many others. There are also dozens of currencies available including most of the popular crypto-coins and alt-coins which make up nearly half of the list but all major fiat currencies are supported.

Navigation is well organized and it's easy to get around on the site. Again, we’ll focus on the slots, table and card games, and may delve into some of the virtual sports if we end up with enough digital canvas after exploring other primary elements. While there currently isn’t any specific slot content in the blog, there may be other items of interest to you such as “Life at DoubleBet” or “Humor” along with plenty of sports information.

We’ll look at the following sections in more detail:

• Slots
• Live games
• Virtual sports
• Bingo

Opening the SLOTS section reveals a lot of possibilities for ways to explore the opulent library of games. There are nearly 20 sub-categories to explore, mostly based on certain game qualities. For instance, there is an entire section for “Book of” type slots as well as bonus buy games, hold and win, and Megaways titles. 

Slots open in a small window with similar games promoted next to them. It’s possible to click and open a new window to play a larger version or simply click on the full-screen icon next to the reel.

Below those options, there is the ability to “search by provider” with a text input field and game-maker logos. Multiple category selections are not possible but there is a button to clear the filter. Categories (1) and providers do handshake, however - so you can choose more than one provider of 3D slots -or- cluster pays -or- Megaways, etc... For instance, clicking Rabcat, Amatic, and Ruby Play without clearing the filter.

The functionality is best illustrated by clearing the filter and then choosing Megaways slots. This brings up titles by every provider. To then click on IronDog will make all titles disappear that do not come from the studios - in theory - but no database is perfect, is it?

This one seems very close to perfect, and that takes a lot of attention to detail.

These choices bring up all ten IronDog games that currently use the Big Time Gaming Megaways mechanic - that magical plugin that can generate more than 100,000 virtual paylines on a single spin and then give you something different on the next push of the button.

• 1 Million Megaways BC
• Rainbow Wilds Megaways
• Megaways Jack
• Pirate Kingdom Emgaways
• Santa’s Big Bash Megaways
• Dwarven Gems Megaways 
• Astro Newts Megaways
• Christmas Megaways
• VIP Branded Megaways
• Rock the Reels Megaways

Further, by clicking on Blueprint, another 24 games appear. In toto, there are currently 116 games here using the BTG engine/mechanic and many of them also offer a Buy Bonus feature. If anyone might have said that slot players don’t care about instant gratification, they may have been mistaken. I can’t think of anything better to do with half my balance on a small, clean, no-bonus deposit than have a flutter on a bonus buy Megaways slot! But that’s just me.

“Book of” slots

While not all of these titles have the term “Book of” in the title, they all seem to have one or more of the various mechanics or otherwise mimic the theme. I’m loath to admit many of the titles in this section are unfamiliar to me, while many others are as familiar to me as my own hand.

Most are not emblazoned with a studio’s logo, but all we tested did announce the provider via the splash screen when the slot was loading. A “new to me” game was Book of Queen by Amanet, (Amatic online brand). The game had been out for more than 2 years but somehow missed my notice until I tested it here. It’s also quite a forgettable game if the bonus isn’t triggered, so maybe I have played it and simply forgot. 

A more recent and more memorable game for me was Synot’s Book of Secrets from January 2021 and its sequel from April, Book of Secrets 6.

While they would all seem to play on NOVOMATIC’s theme from Book of Ra, first introduced in 2005, some of the games have added features and much better artwork than the originals. Most importantly, Novo doesn’t allow their games at Curacao-licensed operations so while some may be better than the originals and some aren’t - the theme is at least available and the library of games here is vast.

Hold and Win slots

There are over 100 titles in this category as well. Some are original Playson “Hold and Win” titles like Eagle Power, and others simply utilize the same or a similar game mechanic - like Assassin Moon with “Hyper Hold” from Microgaming Studios Partner Triple Edge, or Prosperity Pearls by Wazdan with a “Hold the Jackpot” feature.

Live dealer games

There is a great curation of games here from all of the top providers. XPG and Ezugi lead the way with native language tables as well as specialty games for certain markets. Andar Bahar has caught on pretty well outside of India but still seems to draw most players who speak Hindi. Evolution, Pragmatic Play Live, and LuckyStreak are all popular providers. VIVO Gaming has quite a few entries here, especially for Asian players, and GV hosts several tables - some with high limits.

One nice thing about the filtering facility is that when you enter the live gaming suite, all of the purely RNG providers fall away and leave the screen filled only with live games from more than a dozen individual providers.

If you want to find Hindi-style games, simply clear the filter and then choose that category to open up a host of options. There is even a broad category for new games where we found Thai roulette, Italian, Turkish, and Korean games. All told there are hundreds of game types, tables, croupiers and dealers, as well as table limits to choose from.

In the “live” suite you’ll also find a live slots section. We couldn’t get the page to work quite right so I can’t say whether or not they were real Novo games being served, it’s rather doubtful, to put it mildly.

Virtual sports

This section uses a slightly different interface. When you enter the virtual sports zone you’ll need to choose a provider. They are all good, and the list includes the following labs and studios:

• Golden Race
• Global Bet
• BetRadar
• 1x2 Virtuals

1X2 is the true pioneer in the field having launched 1x2 Football well over a decade ago. Today, at this venue, their catalog includes Virtual Football Pro, Virtual Soccer, Virtual Cup, Virtual Challenge Cup, and Virtual Euro Trophy.  Some of the renders and other elements might be produced by one of their partners, LEAP, but we didn’t explore the titles too deeply.

Golden Race may be the choice of many players here. The selection is huge and the company’s graphics, maths, animations, and win celebration are really second to none. 

BetRadar is bound to be a near-perfect emulation of sports betting in a virtual environment. I’m not very familiar with Global Bet V-Sports but the still graphics look good.  

Note: If you are curious about all that each type of virtual sports offers, you’ll find descriptions buried near the bottom of the main Terms and Conditions page for Golden Race and Global Bet titles. I guess they had to put the information somewhere, but they could have made it a little easier to find.

Bingo

Look for keno games from Atmosphera in this category as well as a great selection of Latin games from Salsa Technology. NSoft Lottery offers about half a dozen titles including keno. You’ll also find fun and potentially profitable numbers games from LottoRace and FLG Games in this section.

Bonuses and Promotions

Please see above for current offers as they can and do change over the course of time. As of the time of this review, we see several offers beginning with a 100% match up to 500 MYR (about $100 USD, etc). The minimum deposit to get the bonus is very small (5 MYR).

Bonuses are credited automatically if your profile is filled out completely, including opting in for bonuses. The bonus is good for accumulator bets with certain odds etc., please see terms for details. Cashback and all other bonuses we examined were only to be used on sports betting. The single exception to that was a promo code for TV et games which could be purchased with comp points/loyalty points for 100 units.

Wagering is only 5x on bonuses but they do have additional terms such as the number of bets and the minimum odds of a bet.

What this all means is that unless you opt-in for email or SMS promotional pushes you might not find casino bonuses to use here. With no game bonuses to examine we’ll forgo searching out slots or live table bonus terms and conditions.

Banking and Customer Service

Payment methods may vary by your location, however, there are currently almost 40 types of cryptocurrencies accepted. 

Payment systems such as ecoPayz and Neteller have no service charges either on the casino end and eWallets like AstroPay, MuchBetter, Skrill, Sticpay, and Perfect Money are all honored.

Minimum deposits are minuscule as are the minimum withdrawal levels. 

Maximum cashout limits are not listed and may not exist here. However, withdrawals are stated as being processed 24/7 but may take up to a week to receive depending on the payment method. Withdrawals should be done to the same method used to deposit.

Customer care

A variety of contact methods are provided including telephone, email, and live chat. Responsible gambling safeguards such as limits are available but can be changed with 24-hour notice.

Pitfalls

• Lack of gaming bonuses
• No credit/debit card transactions in some locations
• No max cashout listed in terms

The Final Word

DoubleBet Casino is one of the largest gambling sites in the CIS countries as counted by sportsbetting options. The game selection is also amazing with about 5,000 games on tap.

The current bonus scheme is virtually non-existent for slots players and live dealer fans, but that may not have always been the case and new campaigns could be coming soon.

The site’s layout and functionality are really great, at least for a player like me. I like to filter and sort and drill down to certain types of games by certain providers sometimes and the tools here help a lot with that.

I also like the broad appeal of the offering, it’s truly international with multiple language versions of the website, native-language table games, specialty tables like 32 cards and Teen Patti, and a variety of currencies accepted from Mexican Pesos to Malaysian Ringgit to USD and every popular cryptocurrency.
