Since its inception in 1996, BetED has been at the forefront of the online gambling industry with its unique flash-based gaming software and a spotless reputation for timely payouts. BetED is not only focusing on being the best but also remaining the best.
Known as pioneers in the gaming industry for their strides in creating unique gaming software, BetEd is also recognized for being on top of their game and creating a loyal following.
BetED Reputation
: 3/5BetEd originated in the Cook Islands back in the mid 90’s when online gambling was first making its way on the scene and managed to make a name for themselves by developing the first versions of HTML online casino games. As BetEd grew and developed, they moved to the Mecca of online gaming, Costa Rica, where they continued to develop their product into the sports betting powerhouse it is today. Powered by Great Bet Gaming Systems, BetEd became the first flash-based sportsbook which was the first of its kind and has helped them become a household name within the sportsbook industry.
Apart from software innovation, BetEd is also known for providing bettors with the full gaming package including knowledgeable customer service, fast payouts and an overall quality offering throughout their sportsbook, casino and poker room.
BetED Bonuses / Value
: 3.5/5The bonus structure at BetEd is quite simple and straightforward including a 15% Signup bonus on your initial deposit with 5x rollover within the sportsbook and 10x rollover in the casino with a maximum value of $250.
Their juiciest bonus is their 50% cash bonus which is given only if your first wager wins. This means that if you win $100 on your first wager, you will be awarded an extra $50 which is pretty impressive. Rollover requirements for this cash bonus are 5x in the sportsbook and 10x in the casino. If you’re looking for a reload bonus, they offer 10% cash each time you deposit into the sportsbook with standard rollover amounts as mentioned above.
These are by far their most celebrated bonuses and can be found directly on their website. After we carefully reviewed their site, there weren’t any publicized contests or big-time promotions which mean that they like to keep their bonuses simple. New members should contact their customer service team for further bonus information.
BetED $$$ / Security
: 3/5Deposit Options
BetEd offers a wealth of safe and secure betting options including standard options such as Visa/MasterCard, Neteller, Money Transfer, Moneybookers and their most popular option, IntantCheck. This method has become popular for BetEd because it accepts checks online, over the phone and fax with zero fees and a deposit minimum of only $10.
Withdrawal Options
One very important detail that separates BetEd from the rest of the litter is their ability to process safe and secure payouts within record time. It’s something that their members have learned to count on throughout the years and our feeling is that if they ever started to slack in this department we’d definitely hear about it. At the moment, BetEd offers bettors a few standard options including InstantCheck, Money Transfer, Neteller, Moneybookers and bankwire. BetEd does follow a strict withdrawal schedule from Monday through Friday from 9am to 6pm and depending on the method chosen can take up to 5 business days.
BetEd has adopted many strict policies and methodologies concerning privacy including the use of 128-bit encryption of all personal information as well as the promise of not passing on customer details to any third parties.
BetED Customer Service
: 3/5BetEd’s motto for customer service is “Fast, Friendly and Efficient” and they certainly live up to their name with their 24/7 availability and glowing reviews of their willingness to assist the public. Their customer service team can be contacted via phone and e-mail at:
Toll Free: 1-877-772-3833
E-Mail Customer Service: help@beted.com
E-Mail Banking and Payouts: accounts@beted.com
We were a bit disappointed not to see a live chat option available which is generally a hit among many sites in the industry but I suppose what’s more important is that they provide quality service and which they do.
BetED Software / Website
: 2.5/5BetEd’s avant-guard nature has helped propel them into sportsbook stardom with their flash-only software Thrill-X. Apart from focusing on innovation, BetEd has also managed to fine tune their efforts to provide their audience with great service, timely payouts and an overall quality gaming experience.
Unfortunately, their website doesn’t necessarily reflect their image as we’ve presented it but in this case you’ll just have to dig a little deeper to find the gaming powerhouse we all know and respect.
