Sports & Betting Markets

Head to the BetStorm website and you’ll find around 43 different sports available to bet on. Compare this to the 39 at Bet365, the 29 at Paddy Power or the 24 at Betfred and you can get an idea of the extensive coverage at BetStorm provides. In fact, this is the case with all bookmakers that are operated by Progress Play and you’ll be pushed to find a global sport that you can’t place a bet on.

The majority of people will be looking to bet on the most popular sports such as Football, Tennis, Golf, Boxing and Basketball but there is a much wider selection which will appeal to some customers. For example, you’re able to wager on Surfing, Water Polo, Hurling, Handball, Alpine Skiing and even the national sport of Finland, Pesapallo!

However, one major negative is that although BetStorm covers more sports than the vast majority of bookies do, horse racing is limited to races taking place in the USA which we will look at more in the section below.

As well as an extensive coverage of sports, customers are not short of choice when it comes to betting markets either. Popular football matches have over 300 different betting options to browse and the selection is also impressive for other sports such as Basketball, American Football and Cricket.

There is a big focus on Esports which will please many customers. All of the top games and leagues are covered such as League of Legends (LOL), Call Of Duty (COD), Rainbow Six, Overwatch, StarCraft 2 (SC2) and several others.

When comparing the odds on offer at BetStorm to those available at the likes of 888Sport, Boylesports and Unibet, we found them to be acceptable. They don’t excel in this department but they certainly don’t fall short either.

A full list of available sports can be seen below.

Horse Racing

As mentioned above, horse racing is available to bet on at BetStorm but only for races taking place in the USA. This will disappoint many racing punters with the majority of wagers being placed on UK & Irish races.

If you are looking for a bookie that covers racing extensively from around the world, including in the UK and Ireland, and also has several racing betting offers available throughout the week, we recommend Bet365 and Betfred.

In-Play Betting

Betting on live events is an area that BetStorm do very well in. The Progress Play platform is excellent for in-play betting and has several useful features that set them apart from many of the more established bookies.

You’ll find all live events that are available to bet on by clicking on the ‘LIVE’ tab on the BetStorm website. Pretty much all sports and events are available to bet on in-play meaning that there is an excellent selection throughout the day and night every day of the week.

On the Live page, you’ll find the following:

Dashboard: Displays all live events, categorised by sport for easy navigation.

Live Overview: A more detailed list of live events which include several available betting markets all on the same page without having to click through to the individual event.

Live Multiview: One of the best features of BetStorm. Using this tool, you are able to select the live events that you are interested in betting on or wish to monitor. These events will then all be displayed on the Live Multiview page. It’s an excellent tool for monitoring the score and in-play odds of several events without the need to flick between browser windows.

Live Calendar: A sporting calendar displaying all upcoming events for the next 7 days along with available odds so that you can plan ahead.

Results: A huge database of results for tens of thousands of past events. Great for researching teams and match statistics.

Live Streaming

As with all Progress Play sites, live streaming of sporting events is not available at BetStorm.

Head over to our live streaming page to view a huge list of upcoming sporting events that can be streamed for free via a Bet365 account. Bet365 are regarded as one of the best online bookmakers for streaming sports and they cover thousands of events for different sports every month.

Customer Service

All support options can be found by clicking on the ‘SUPPORT’ tab at the top of the BetStorm website. Here you’ll find answers to several of the most frequently asked questions as well as contact methods should you need to speak with someone directly.

Currently, BetStorm provides support via the on-site contact form as well as live chat for members and non-members 7 days a week.

BetStorm App

Unfortunately, BetStorm do not have an app available currently. However, you can still access your account and bet on the move by visiting the website in a mobile browser.

The website is perfectly optimised for all mobile phones and tablets and allows access to everything that is available via the desktop website.

BetStorm Casino

As a customer, you will also get access to their online casino which features several hundred different games.

Slots are the main focus in the casino and there is an impressive number of them with new slots being added on a regular basis. What is perhaps even more impressive is the range of game providers and the ability to filter the games by the provider. Over 40 different providers supply games to the BetStorm Casino including popular brands such as Barcrest, Blueprint Gaming, Big Time Gaming, Elk, Evolution, Genesis, Microgaming, NetEnt, Play N Go, Thunderkick and several others.

As well as an impressive selection of online slots, you’ll also find games such as Blackjack, Roulette, Dragon Tiger, Baccarat, Jacks or Better, Joker Poker and dozens more.

BetStorm Live Casino

From within the casino section, if you click on the ‘LIVE’ tab, you’ll find a selection of live casino games. Although there are several dozen tables available for Live Blackjack, Live Roulette, Live Dragon Tiger and Live Three Card Poker, BetStorm is missing some popular live casino games such as Monopoly Live, Crazy Time, Spin-A-Win, Adventures Beyond Wonderland and others.

Overall, the casino is an excellent addition to the site and one which impressed us with the variety of games and providers.

New customers in the casino can claim the welcome offer of a 100% bonus of up to £100 as well as a bundle of free spins. There are also regular casino promotions available to existing customers such as Cashback Weekends, Slot Leaderboards, Bankroll Boosters and more.

Banking

Progress Play sites such as BetStorm are known for accepting a wide variety of banking options. In fact, there are more deposit and withdrawal options available than at any of the big brand bookmakers that we have come across.

Players have the choice of debit cards, pre-paid cards, bank transfers and a large selection of e-wallet options.

Withdrawals are processed relatively quickly and in line with other betting sites that do not offer Visa Fast Funds. Withdraws to e-wallets usually reach accounts within 24 hours whereas card withdrawals take on average 4 days.

See the table below for a full list of available banking options.

Note: Withdrawals are subject to a £2.50 administration fee

Summary

Similar to other Progress Play sites, there are good points and bad points with BetStorm. We particularly like the extensive range of sports that they cover and their in-play betting features are excellent.

As for improvements, we would like to see UK & Irish horse racing available to bet on and live streaming capabilities would be a bonus.

Overall, we recommend BetStorm to anyone looking to bet with a new bookmaker.
