Funbet Casino is a Genesis Global online gambling site launched in 2020. The venue is licensed in the UK by the Gambling Commission and worldwide by the Malta Gaming Authority.

New players can pick up a liberal welcome bonus for sports betting or take advantage of an even more generous offer to join the casino.

Scheduled sports, in-play live betting, animated random number (RNG) slots; progressive jackpots; cards, and table games as well as live dealer streams are all found under one roof here.

Gamomat (formerly Bally Wulff), Givme, and Golden Rock Studios are the anchor providers for slots. Additional providers may be available in select markets. Please see the Gaming Platform drop-down elsewhere on this page for providers in your area. Golden Hero, Oryx, and Kalamba appeared in our searches as well.

Genesis is a well known and trusted operator with over a dozen highly trafficked and esteemed sites under their direction. The flagship Casino Cruise has created ports of call for players in niche markets and the world at large with Vegas Hero, Genesis, Spinit, and many more.

Each site has its own appeal and strives to cater to a particular audience while still providing a welcome landing to all others.

Here, we find a focus on sports betting for scheduled events as well as in-play live betting. However, the site is laid out in a way that allows players who prefer only casino games to simply ignore those two clickable links and jump right into spinning slots. All games, save the live dealer streams, can be played in fun mode - a great way to get to know games you may not be familiar with.

If the Funbet name seems familiar to you, it may be because another operator, FENGaming, had a site by the same name but closed up shop in late 2015. Other than a cool name, the companies have no association with each other. Genesis stands on the reputation they began building with Casino Cruise in 2014 along with about a dozen other trusted venues.

Software and Games

The site is available for betting and instant play on any mobile device with a web browser connected to the internet. No app download for phones is needed and no software needs to be installed on a laptop or desktop. All devices including iOS, Android, Windows, Blackberry, and Linux OS are supported.

The site is licensed for bookmaking and games in every market it operates in. Safe, secure, and reliable transactions are protected with SSL technology to keep all of your data safe.

Plotting a course to your favorite game is possible for those who enjoy using the filters and sorting available. Once you've decided on live games or animated online games simply click.

Sports

Look for a top-flight selection of markets to bet on. In addition to traditional sports betting you'll find lines on everything from reality TV, politics, and more in the "specials" section. Your locale may determine which lines are open to you.

Boxing, driving, horses, tennis, badminton, football, NFL - you name it, you've got a line with competitive odds and mobile access.

Live Betting

Bet in-play on contests and events in the sports of football, tennis, basketball, ice hockey, baseball, and much more.

Several different views are available so you can zoom in with a laser focus. Start with an overview, look deeper with the event view, get your bearings with the live schedule, and check out the results with views ranging from the last 24 hours to the last 7 days so you'll never miss.

Live Casino

If you are the type of blackjack, baccarat, or roulette player that prefers to play against a real dealer, you'll find your action here.

These games are streamed over the internet in real-time and you can see both the table and the dealer. All card shuffling and dealing occurs right in front of your eyes. It's a lot like playing in person, you'll be asked to place your bets, be told when no more bets are accepted and congratulated when you win.

The digital user interface is streamlined to give you every option without blocking your view or interfering with your betting.

Many games allow users to change the camera view and most will automatically zoom in on important events.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to play these games with demo chips, but you can get a feel for the games at low limit tables before going to the private salons or VIP tables.

Slots galore

If you've ever had the pleasure of playing Bally Wulff slots in a land casino you will love the Gamomat selection here. Gamomat offers an online version of Bally Wulff classics. The company has been around and providing games for the German "street market" with games on over 20,000 machines a few years ago.

The Berlin-based developer is still producing new games made specifically for a broader audience of online players as well. Titles like The Book Beyond, Football Super Spins, and Crystal Burst XXL capture the fire of this game maker's passion for exciting gambling games.

Givme is a brand of slots almost always found alongside Oryx games. They've had a business arrangement since at least 2015. The game themes run the gamut from Asian to European with a few Egyptian flavored games thrown in as well as the horse racing title Spring Derby (at Epsom Downs) and the racing car-themed Speed King.

The games are fairly simplistic but they make good use of the mechanics in play. Look for wilds to double line wins and the Super Pay feature to randomly award increased multipliers. The games are delivered over the Oryx RGS.

Golden Hero also makes fairly simple games and they have Asian themes for the most part. Golden Wheel, Battle Drawf, and Hawaiin Dream are the exceptions.

Not to be confused with the JPJ/Gamesys Group Golden Hero, Golden Rock Studios is an animal of another god altogether. This studio creates games on the highest end of the volatility index.

Their debut title, Volatile Slot has a max win of 25,600x stake and an RTP of 96.1%. We'll just quote their digital literature here to explain how such a big payout can come from a simple 10-line slot.

"Each wild can reveal a multiplier of x2, x3 or x4. If more than one wild, then they will multiply the multiplier! If you are fortunate to get 3, x4, x4, x4 wilds, that would award a x64 multiplier on total wins!"

Now that's my kind of game!

Oryx has been producing games for a decade. The Slovenia-based company is well connected to many other industry giants through distribution deals and other partnerships. The Oryx RGS is most probably the vehicle on which the Kalamba games ride to Funbet.

Kalamba is one of those "special" developers with art and craft surpassing most of their competitors'. The feature mechanics, in-game innovations, and solid maths make these visual and audio masterpieces jump out every time we visit a property that carries their titles.

Not everyone who comes from a top industry position to create their own games company has what it takes to disrupt the playing field and make a difference - Team Kalamba does and has done just that.

Look for titles such as Wildcraft, Tree of Gold, Tiger Claws, Temple of Heroes, Ruby Hunters, and Mammoth Chase to experience these breakout games. If you already know some of those titles you know what we mean, if they are new to you.... hold on, you are in for the ride of a lifetime!

Bonuses and Promotions

Sports betters can grab a bonus or three here too, but we'll focus on the gaming offers. You may claim one or the other but not both welcome offers.

Please see the current terms and offer elsewhere on this page. We'll take about the inaugural offer which could change over time so you will need to click through above or visit the site to get up to the minute information.

While E-Wallet deposits (Skrill/Neteller/Paysafe/Paypal/Ecopayz) are welcome, you won't be able to claim the bonus with one. Wagering is only 30x the bonus and any casino spins granted with the match bonus hold a max cashout term of €/$100.

Max bet with the bonus is €/$5 for slots and €/$30 per bet on any other game. Classic slots count 75%, table games are weighted at 10% and blackjack contributes 5% of each bet toward wagering requirements.

Tip: No live dealer, progressive jackpots, of video poker play is allowed with a bonus.

The normal list of high RTP, low volatility games are not allowed and a few slots only contribute 25% or 50% to wagering (3/1).

Ongoing bonus consideration is provided on a case by case basis. Players may opt-out of all bonuses if they choose to.

Banking and Customer Service

Your specific location may affect which payment methods are available to you. We find about ten ways to deposit and eight ways to withdraw. MuchBetter and most cards work both directions as do other eWallets.

All deposits are instant and all withdrawals except bank wire are too. It will take 1-3 business days to appear on your credit card or debit card account and 3-5 days for a bank wire to settle.

Customer service is available 24/7 with live chat on every page. Telephone and email support are also available.

Pitfalls

• "Only" about 500 games
• Some betting markets (politics, etc.) may be restricted
• No weekly reloads or VIP plan mentioned
• Cryptocurrency not offered (see cashier for changes)

The Final Word

Funbet Casino offers a unique package of games from a variety of makers. The fact the site is operated by Genesis Global should give players the confidence they need to try slots they may not have had access to before, or are otherwise hard to find.

Sports fans have a lot of options and sports bettors or slots players can completely ignore the other part of the site if it doesn't interest them - each offering is complete unto itself.

The welcome offer is nice and the wagering requirements are reasonable. We would like to see more ongoing offers but those may come as the site ages or they may be offered to individual players based on loyalty.

All in all, it looks like a great place to play.
