Netbet is an online and mobile gambling portal owned and operated by NetBet Enterprises Ltd of Malta. The site offers a full-service betting solution for players who enjoy slots, casino games, live dealer streams, poker, lotto, sports, and in-play betting. The site has been licensed in Malta since the Gambling Authority began publishing licenses. They were previously licensed under the trade name Cosmo Gaming, a company associated with Mandaplay, the site's previous registered owners. In October 2016 they became the first UKGC licensed casino ever to accept Bitcoin transactions. Various other licenses may be in effect depending on a player's location. Italy and Romania have their own versions of the site. Canadians are welcome.

It is nearly impossible to sort the management or owner history as ownership claims on associated sites have changed over time as has this one. Most importantly, although they generated hundreds of complaints after launch on the retooled iSoftBet platform due to terribly written and unevenly enforced terms & conditions, the only valid complaints we see currently are for the occasional slow pay.

The European and Asian facing site's name should not be confused with iNetbet.com, an RTG single software site established in 1999 that focuses on the American market. However, the operation pre-dates their 2011 launch under the current name. Originally known as Casino770.co.uk, the site should also not be confused with the French Casino 770 site even though they have historically used the same 'favicon' (browser tab logo) as they may have different owners now. Taking the former 770 history into account, the site has been online since 2001 and licensed in Malta since 2006.

Since their launch under the current trade name the site has used the iSofBet platform and aggregating software for their games. iSoftBet was formerly known as Fast-CPU Entertainment. Not much is know about the original company other than that the new iteration hit the ground running in 2010 with a portfolio boasting over 300 random number generator games.

Software and Games

Mobile, tablet, laptop, and desktop users can access the site without the need to download apps or software unless they want to access the poker client. We'll focus on RNG and live dealer games here with a brief re-mention of sports, in-play betting, lottery, and poker. The company migrated all Poker770 users over to the new platform in late 2014.

The live dealer suite is provided by Evolution Gaming and includes over 20 options for low stake and VIP play. No matter the size of bankroll, many players enjoy trying their luck on the live Dream Catcher wheel. In addition to a variety of blackjack, roulette, and baccarat games they also offer 3 table poker variants including Caribbean Stud.

In the menu, players will find two main categories for RNG games, one of them is Vegas. There are plenty of options once you enter one of these categories including jackpot games in the Vegas section. However, the sub-menus are slightly different and if you want to display or sort games by the provider you will need to use the Casino category.

When you choose "Provider" the selection really opens up and you find 16 provider listings from Ainsworth to Williams. Boutique providers like Leander and Quickspin are represented as are industry anchors such as Novomatic. A closer look will reveal that there are several more options than first meet the eye. Clicking on Microgaming opens the Quickfire catalog with 2x2, Rabcat, and others pitching in. Opening NYX gives you Lightning Box, Big Time Gaming, and some NextGen games.

If you are looking for Atari branded slots like Astroids and Star Raiders be sure to check out the Pariplay section. There are also a few games under Pragmatic Play, like the hugely popular Wolf Gold and the newer 7 Piggies. You'll find nearly 40 slots from Leander Games. If you're not familiar with Dragon Slot or Supernova, this is definitely a selection you will want to check out! Most of the slots onsite are available for demo play, depending on your location.

Bonuses and Promotions

From the welcome package to the daily deals and game of the week, players will find plenty of incentives beyond the awesome game selection to play here. Once you're settled in and happy be sure to check if they are still offering a refer a friend bonus. All players are automatically entered into the Player Club and comps are boosted along the way up to 5.5x. NetPoints can be used in the Club Shop for cash, bonuses, and other things.

Be sure to check the terms to identify slots that are not eligible for bonus play or have a different weighting for playthrough requirements.

Banking and Customer Service
The site has a huge player base all over the globe, so no matter where you are, there are banking solutions for you. There are nearly 20 ways to get your money in, and about half as many methods to withdraw your winnings.

Live chat is available from 09:00 to 23:00 and telephone support can be reached 12:00 to 20:00 (GMT+1). There is a comprehensive FAQ and an online contact form if you miss operating hours.

Pitfalls

Bonus rules can seem a little complicated with some games counting less toward wagering and some not counting at all. Max bets are in effect while playing with a bonus. No US accepted. Former less than stellar reputation.

The Final Word

While NetBet may have been overwhelmed and not ready to launch when they rebranded, they may also have been ethically challenged with several 'gotcha' terms that saw them seize winnings. Either market forces or an evolving business ethics seem to have left that history behind them for several years now. However, we still feel it's important to mention the history.

All in all, they have grown up to be a fairly amazing gaming site. The game selection is dynamic and robust and the website is easy enough to navigate. Players in Japan, Romania, Italy, Russia, Germany, Spain, France, and English speaking countries have access to one of the most diverse betting sites online. From sports to lottery and poker, just about everything you may want can be found in one place.
