MyBet is a German operator with a long history in online betting and a dominant physical presence in Europe. Established in 1998, the company offers a full range of gambling products, including a sportsbook and an online casino. They have been heavily involved in sponsoring sport: they are the official sponsors of German outfits Fortuna Dusseldorf, Eintracht Braunschweig, Greuther Furth, and the National Greek mini-football team. Thanks to their prudent bonus programs and marketing, MyBet has earned a solid reputation as a reliable and safe operator with good odds.
Today, their platform hosts more than 15,000 betting markets per month and is among the top choices on African bettor’s lists. As of 2016, it services several African countries, offering punters from the region a chance to bet on their favorite games from all major European Leagues.
There is an overwhelming number of features on MyBet.
Here are some of them:
While we’ve seen better, MyBet covers a good number of sports. Yes, depth is some sports could be a little bit better, but the football market is not affected. The fact that the operator is run by analysts whose home country is one of the world’s football hotspots is quite evident. Bets can be placed on any major league from the five populated continents. Furthermore, smaller first- and second-division leagues and tournaments are also there, mind you with decent odds.
MyBet covers the following sports: cricket, hockey, volleyball, basketball, American football, Aussie rules, boxing, golf, futsal, handball, politics, and rugby.
MyBet is an excellent spot for those who enjoy backing the underdog or any Bundesliga club for that matter. Tournaments where you would find attractive odds for the underdog are the Champions League, Europa League, European Championship, and the World Championship. Overall, MyBet brags a 97% return for punters.
Odds formats:
Please note that MyBet does not support American or fractional odds formats.
Punters at MyBet are given huge freedom to make predictions. Apart from the standard 1X2 bet, you can use accumulators, point spread, futures, and props. MyBet, however, excels with system combinations bets, a bet type that allows you to make one or two wrong predictions in the ticket without that affecting your profit.
Here are a few of the MyBet bets you can use:
We liked the abundance of betting options in the in-play platform. At the time of the visit, they offered dozens of live football, tennis, snooker, handball, and eSports games to bet on.
We have to complement MyBet for how well the control panel of the in-play platform is designed. Orienting yourself to bet types is quick and easy. However, the in-game statistics mechanism looks limited. The information was presented in simple two-row tables; however, there were no graphs or visually stunning presentations.
Overall, MyBet in-play achieves its goal, but we hope the operator will spice it up with new features in the near future.
We have to stay the mybet promotions page falls short of what you would expect if you have racked up some mileage in online gambling. At the moment of writing this article, the operator offered only four promotions, which, as we see it, is simply not good enough. However, we liked the regular enchanted odds offers on EPL and Bundesliga matches.

The MyBet online betting platform is available for both desktop and mobile bettors. One of the fortes of the web portal is its loading speed. This is down to the relentless SEO work they’ve done, minimizing the downloadable packages, plus it caters to African customers; hence servers are close by. This ensures there are no delays, which is crucial for live betting.
Here’s the crux, the Mobile Africa app is only available for Android, and such cannot be found in the Google Play store, as Google has a strict policy against gambling apps. The app can still be downloaded from the operator’s website.
In terms of usability and design, we couldn’t faults with the MyBet app. It runs very well on Android devices with 4.1+ OS. It’s easy to find your way around in the content and start betting.

It won’t take long before you get used to the mobile app. The next things that will grab your attention are the bonuses. Some of them are the same as on the website, but others are unique to the app or juiced up desktop bonuses.
Here is what they offered when we tried them:

The minimalistic design of the MyBet website eases the navigation process and allows punters to focus on betting. Only two colours are used: white and green. The background is white, the text is greyish/black, and the highlighting is in green. Overall, the design is appealing and welcoming – one of the best we’ve seen.
If you have bet on other sites, you won’t find anything new on MyBet. Categories have a pretty standard placement: sports are on the left-hand side, the core of the page contains the events on which you can bet, and, in the header, you will find the main MyBet product pages.
