Placard

In the online sports betting industry, markets are constantly evolving. This is precisely the case for the bookmaker Placard. Today, this Portuguese platform is growing and at this stage, this type of entertainment is an alternative to a better life, when a punter hits the jackpot. What’s more, Placard has become the official sports betting sponsor of Porto Football Club. But first, let’s try to understand the structure of Placard and how it actually works.

Operating license

Placard is part of the company SAS APOSTAS SOCIALS, which is authorized to operate in the field of sports betting in Portugal. Currently, the site uses the national license no. 013, issued by the SRIJ (Serviço de Regulação e Inspeção de Jogos do Turismo de Portugal). The document, approved by Decree-Law No. 66/2015 of 29 April, legally attests to the security as well as the reliability of Placard.

Website and mobile application

Placard offers its customers the opportunity to play and place bets whenever they want via their mobile phone. The website offers mobile applications that are compatible with both Android and iOS operating systems. Basically, the procedure is to download the specified program from Play Store and then activate the installation from external sources to enjoy the full functionality of Placard. You just need to click on the “Mobile App” tab and select the icon for your device. You will find detailed instructions on how to install the software. However, the mobile site seems much less intuitive than the native application.

Registration of users

In general, it takes less than five minutes to create an account with Placard. To access the registration page, click on the “Register” button in the upper right corner of the screen. First of all, make sure that your browser does not block the opening of the pop-up window. Also, we advise you to deactivate the pop-ups displayed on the browser interface. The process is divided into different distinct steps. First, you must fill in the form with your personal data, including first and last name, e-mail, telephone number and date of birth.

Before proceeding, you must tick the box stating that you have reached the age of 18 and that you accept the terms and conditions of use and the privacy policy of Placard. Similarly, indicate whether you wish to receive notifications of promotional offers from the operator. Other information to be included is your contact information, mailing address and player account information. Normally, registration ends when you see the “Register” button. By clicking on it, Placard confirms the validation of your profile.

Bonuses and promotions

There are no welcome bonuses at Placard at the moment, but rest assured. The platform is full of promotions that you can’t imagine. On the whole, these offers are more about boosting your chances at the game. With perseverance, you can expect to hit a huge jackpot. To take full advantage of this, keep an eye out for opportunities, keeping an eye on the super odds banners. Win more by being smart about your predictions on sporting events, whether it’s single or multiple bets. In addition, joining the Placard affiliate program will allow you to receive commissions. You will get a percentage of the monthly net revenue generated by players, if they come through your channels. To find out more about this, see the terms and conditions in the Affiliate program section. In addition, get details of all offers by clicking on the “Promotions” section, both at the sportsbook and the casino.

The betting and gambling market

The online sports betting catalogue of Placard includes a wide range of lines as well as betting markets. Compared to other brands, however, its odds market seems slightly smaller. The sports events from all over the world are divided into different categories, ranging from the most popular ones such as football, tennis, basketball, to lesser known sports including ice hockey, golf, MMA, cycling, futsal, handball, cricket or snooker. Here, Placard gives players the advantage of betting on the games in progress. For live fans, go directly to the ‘Live’ section. When the bookmaker is broadcasting the events, you have the possibility to watch the progress of a match and manage your bets at the same time.

Despite its recent arrival, Placard Casino is attracting more and more users and continues its steady rise. All in all, the interface is not particularly attractive, except for the presence of a few sections dedicated to a number of games. The slots section features a large collection of slots, including the latest releases. The Jackpots section offers slot-like entertainment. One thing is certain, players will never get bored. The Roulette area is less well-stocked and currently features two variants (Premium French and European) in addition to the classic Roulette. As time goes on, innovative offers and programmes are being added to the repertoire. With a better perspective, Placard promises a very successful future in the gambling business. According to some reports, it will only be a matter of time before the future project is realised.

Available payment methods

As Placard is a legal online betting platform, users will be able to use the following methods to deposit or withdraw money from their account:

• Visa, MasterCard ;
• ATM bank payment system ;
• SEPA bank transfer.

It should be noted that you must use the initial payment option if you intend to collect your winnings. For this type of transaction, the transfer time may take up to 48 hours after approval by Placard.

Placard takes customer feedback and requests very seriously when a problem arises within the bookmaker. That is why the operator has a competent team on its platform to provide them with solutions as soon as possible. Here are the means of communication available on the site:
