Tipbet is an online gambling center that features sports, live dealer streams, and gambling games like slots to play for real money.

The sports side of the operation appears to have been around since the 1990s with the casino being launched just a couple of years ago.

The operating company, Tipbet Limited, holds both type 1 and type 2 gaming licenses from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) and the casino maintains a very good reputation among players and player advocates.

We don't find any open complaints and all resolved issues seem to have been settled to the satisfaction of the player whenever the dispute was valid. Our analysis of the site will be limited to the gaming operation except for brief mentions to describe the Sports Betting components.

We'll explore the software, game library, bonuses and promotions, banking and customer service, any perceived pitfalls to avoid, and render a final word we'll arrive at through the course of this review.

In brief...

There are nearly 20 game providers from Microgaming to Booongo and EuroStar Studios. In addition to about 1,000 slots, visitors will find every other sort of floor game in RNG format.

Live gaming is provided by Authentic and Evolution with hundreds of tables to choose from including more than 40 blackjack options.

The bonus offers as of today include courtesy spins, a 100% match bonus, reloads, cash back, and an auto cashout enhancement on sports markets.

Small deposits are accepted with more than a dozen payment options, and there is a €25,000 Daily Cashout limit.

Customer care includes a knowledge base, FAQ section, email, and live chat.

Wagering requirements on some bonuses may too high for professional players but the operators only welcome recreational players anyway.

With that, let's take a look at the...

Software and Games

The site is well organized so navigation to specific sections is easy. Moving around once you arrive at the library for any given game type or gambling mode is intuitive as well.

Navigation tip: Near the bottom of the page is a toggle switch to change the theme from light to dark

Advanced sports betting and live betting have their own sections which can easily be ignored by slot players and other game players. As well, the RNG and live dealer sections can be passed over by sports fans if they don't want to visit those sections.

The main promotions page is shared among all the verticals.

Sports sections

• Live Betting
• Sports Betting
• Highlights
• Last Minute
• Sports Betting Statistics
• Sports Betting Results

Some of the markets include Basketball, Beach volley, Handball, Ice hockey, Rugby, Tennis, and all the main sports events.

Mobile compatible

All elements of the site work in your native browser. This means that your device and operating system do not determine whether you can bet on sports, live events, chat with a dealer, or spin the slots. All it takes to enter the site and gamble is a web browser and connection to the internet.

Laptop, desktop, tablet, and handset users all have the same interface for a multiplatform, multichannel solution.

Navigation and elements of the site

Starting from the RNG Lobby we find the following subsections, each with it's own sub-pages:

• Video Slots
• Table Games
• Other Games
• Video Poker
• Classic Slots
• Scratch

Just to the right of those options are a text search box and a "Filters" dropdown. Here you can sort by game title alphabetically, show only "exclusive", display only games from specific providers, or once again enter a game type library such as scratch cards or video poker.

Please note, some providers such as Microgaming and Relax are also aggregators and bundlers so exploring one of those choices can open up whole new worlds of possibilities. Games from other studios under the Microgaming radio button box include Eurostar Studios, NextGen, and others.

Looking under the Relax Gaming section you may find games from diverse studios that just happen to be bundled and delivered via the Relax Silver Bullet aggregator platform.

The moral of the story is that you will find games from more studios than you may think by exploring all of the provider libraries.

One nice thing about the provider game filter interface is that you can mix and match by choosing two or more providers and the results won't be returned until you hit the green "Search" button.

The types of games also filter in association with the providers, so you can, for example, display only scratch games from Microgaming.

Give it a try! Most of the titles are available in free mode.

Video Slots

Look for new releases from top providers like Red Rake as soon as the slots are released. With about 1,000 titles from more than a dozen slot studios, you'll never run out of options here.

A few of the partner studios and Quickfirepartners we find under the Microgaming category include NextGen's Cherry Blossoms and Bangkok Nights; Mahi Gaming (now Triple-Edge Studios) Electric Divas, and Eurostar Studios' deadmou5 to name just a few.

Unlike many online gaming sites, the Quickfire aggregator partners and Microgaming Official Studio Partners don't fill the shelves in this section of the library - a vast majority of the games are Microgaming-proper titles.

Red Rake is one of the most well-known "younger" studios here and they offer nearly 50 titles as of this writing.

One reason they've made a splash is the out-of-this-world maths available on some of their games.

Million 7 and Million Dracula offer 1024 pay lines and a million ways to win. You read that right.

If you are looking for some distinctive variety, you might want to click on over to the aisle that got Fugaso slots on offer.

Future Gaming Solutions (Fugaso) serves up comical and interesting themes from their Trump It Deluxe Epicways and Graffiti Block Pays titles to Clash of Gods, Cleopatra's Diary, and Warlock's Book. Unfortunately, some of their other types of games aren't found here, but the slot offering is good enough in this instance.

Wazdan has created a massive portfolio of games in just a few years and their titles are found on an increasing number of gaming sites. It appears as if the curators here have included Wazdan's complete slots portfolio.

Look for insane line counts and interactive player tools on some of the games. Go to the bottom of the page to find Welcome to Hell 81 with 81 ways to win left to right.

Booming Games is another developer that has been pumping out title after title with a few big hits in there. The games are unique with a decided international flair.

Many of the mechanics are reminiscent of eastern/central-eastern Euro games, but that's not surprising as some of their facilities are located in Romania and Poland as well as Malta, UK, the Isle of Man, and even China.

Look for the word 'boom' or 'booming' when exploring all games to find all of them by using the filter by provider facility.

Other providers

Of course, any site that relied entirely upon up-and-coming and 'out there' studios would fall right off the leading edge without a few anchors to go along with Microgaming holding the fort down.

Look for 3D cinematic quality Betsoft titles, a vast array of Pragmatic Play games, iconic iSoftBet spinners including branded games, Playson video slots, along with Nordic favorites from providers like Quickspin and Thunderkick.

Surprise reveal: Look for Book of Loki and many more from 1X2gaming.

RNG table games

There's a really good assortment of animated cards and other table games in this section. Blackjack is the most populated title but you'll also find a nice variety of baccarat/punto banco and roulette variants as well as unique games like Frenzy Discs - Twin Numbers by Red Rake.

Here's a teaser for the game if you're not familiar with it. It's a form of modified roulette with payouts up to 400x.

Again, you can play this game without registering or signing into an account, but of course, any winnings cannot be collected if you aren't playing for real money.

Look under Relax Gaming to find FELT's Roulette+

Other Games

Do you really want to enter this bizarre little world? The only game here is Poke the Guy.

If you aren't looking for spinning reels, pay lines, or anything else 'slotty', simply choose a weapon and catapult loads of stuff at a giant yellow 'guy'. Your ammunition will include knives, dead fish, bushes, ice cream, and rubber duckies.

err hmmm, let's move on to...

Video Poker

Ah, sanity! Here we find seven paytables and all of them are from Microgaming so you know you'll be able to use your favorite strategy. Aces & Eights, Bonus Deuces Wild, Deuces Wild, Jacks or Better (Full Pay 9/6) Double Double Bonus, All Aces, and Aces & Faces present a well-rounded suite of low, medium, and high volatility indexes to suit any player's needs.

Classic Slots

This is another small section with only three titles available for play. Pragmatic Play submits Triple Tigers for your consideration and iSoftBet offers 3 Hit Pay and 1,000,000 cents.

Hint: You will find 3-reel slots mixed in with other video slots under the Microgaming category.

Scratch

Again, here we see a token offering simply to please the player who likes to dabble with fixed odds scratchers now and then.

The games are all supplied by Microgaming and the themes are lifted from some of their slot games like Avalon, Sure Win, Cricket Star, and the zombie-inspired Lost Vegas franchise.

Live dealer streams

If you prefer live gaming as a matter of course or simply like to switch it up a little now and then, this place has you covered.

Studio stream fans have a lot of options with Evolution, and those who prefer games from actual terrestrial casino floors have Authentic Gaming as a provider of choice.

Table counts and limits can and do change over time. However, when we visited there were 9 baccarat tables, 43 blackjack felts, 29 live roulette options, and three Hold'em games to choose from.

There is also an 'another games' category with a mix of games from Evolution and Authentic including Caribbean Stud Poker.

Bonuses and Promotions

Look for a generous welcome bonus valid on even a small deposit. The terms and conditions are designed to make winners out of many new visitors with very low wagering requirements (15xd+b).

On the flip side of that is the fact that you will only be able to cash out 10x the amount of the bonus up to €2000.

Terms and offers can and do change over time, so please see the offer near the top of this page and click through from here to activate any exclusive offers. You can also simply visit the site and look under the promotions tab for your current offer.

The site does frequent location checking and prohibits the use of VPNs or other masking technology. If you spoof your location you probably won't be able to collect your winnings due to the regulatory requirements of the operation.

Be sure to look for the general bonus terms and conditions in addition to those specific to the offer you plan to accept.

We find in the general terms that high rollers may not be happy with bonus play here with a maximum withdrawal amount of €4000 unless otherwise stated in the specific offer.

Sports bettors will also find a 100% welcome bonus but the terms are much different and should be perused on the site for particulars. The max cashout on any sports bonus is €2000.

Slots players can also take a 50% reload bonus. This one is good for live dealer play on certain games but the turnover is 30x on this one and the max cashout is 20xd+b.

To break this particular offer down you will need to deposit €400 and collect €200 for a bankroll of €600. The playthrough or rollover would be €600x30 or just €18,000 in total bets. Here's where the wicket gets sticky.

The specific terms are 20xd+b max cash which would be €18,000 - however, the general terms mention a specific EUR amount and that is €4,000.

We can assume that €4,000 is the max cash so to optimize this offer (with rounding) you would deposit €133 and collect a bonus of €67 for a bankroll of €200, playthrough of 6,000, and a cashout of €4,000.

High rollers may wish to contact customer service to clarify the ruling term - 20x or the cash number. When in doubt, always assume "advantage = casino".

One of the cashback offers is only for sports but the other, 15% is good for the games as well.

You can get up to €250 Cashback if you claim it within 24 hours of your last loss. The rollover is only 1x on cashback. It's unclear if max cashout terms in the general section apply, but no other caveat is mentioned in the specific terms so they most likely do.

Sports bettors would do well to look into the Partial, Auto, and Full Cash Out enhancements only for them.

Banking and Customer Service

Your location may determine which of the many payment options are avialable to you. After registering an account and logging in, go to the cashier page to see what's on tap.

In the general section, we find nearly 20 deposit methods and more than half a dozen avenues to withdraw funds.

Look for all the common and popular international payment methods such as Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, and Paysafe card.

E-wallet methods include MuchBetter, Neteller, and Skrill.

Regional options like Boleto, Caixa, Banco de Brasil, and Santander or offered alongside Sofort and others.

Ewallets, bank transfers, cards, and Astropay all world for withdrawals.

Like many hybrid sportsbooks, expect only one free withdrawal per calendar week. Additional payouts may be assessed a fee - otherwise, withdrawals are free of charge on the operator's end.

Customer care

There are two broad sections to reach out for help with any matter.

Most questions can be answered in the FAQ.
The Knowledge Base also covers betting information, account issues, deposits, withdrawals, and technical questions.

Support is available via email. The address is and a link is found in the Customer Support section. Live Chat is also available and those who haven't registered an account yet can sign in through Facebook.

Pitfalls

• Bonus winnings have a cap of €2,000 to €4,000
• More than one cashout per week may have fees applied
• Lack of variety in RNG table games

The Final Word

Tipbet is a longstanding operation with a good reputation. The game offering is really diverse and includes a little bit of something for everyone.

While we'd like to see more RNG table games offered, it's nice that they've at least included a few as a complement to the solid live dealer offerings.

We like the solid mix of game maths, mechanics, and themes in the slots section. Booming Games titles will not appeal to every player, but then again neither will those by Microgaming.

The variety is really accented by the addition of new studios such as Eurostar with their EDM-themed slot featuring two tracks by deadmou5 and some very powerful bonus features.

The bonus program is not littered with dozens of offers designed to drain your funds with no hope of meeting the wagering requirements. The 15% cashback with 1x wagering is perhaps the best ongoing promotion for the games section.

It's up to individual players whether they are comfortable with max cashout on any bonus but we understand operators have to limit their exposure somehow. A €4,000 payday resulting from a super lucky run after a minimum cashback shouldn't hurt any player's feelings in our estimation. Match bonuses would take a little more consideration.

The banking facilities are well stocked with options for players all around the world and all players will find a method to cash out. We're not fond of the fees that may be attached to second and subsequent withdrawals in a calendar week, but that term is to be expected when playing a hybrid sportsbook.

All told, it's a solid place to play with a good assortment of games. The option to pop on over to the sportsbook or some live betting is the icing on the cake for this reviewer.
