Betaland
Active since 2014, Betaland has established itself as a leader in the online betting, gaming and virtual casino sector. This bookmaker aims to expand its franchise in national markets. Its popularity stems from its numerous land-based establishments and outlets. This image gives it not only importance, but also maximum visibility in the world of sports betting. In fact, the brand is proud to be the official sponsor of the Sicilian team Orlandina Basket.
Operating License
Betaland is part of the OIA Services Ltd group. As the web refers to an Italian betting site, it has been granted a license by the AAMS (Amministrazione Autonoma dei Monopoli di Stato) and the ADM (Agenzia delle Dogane). This is evidenced by the presence of the logo of one of the regulatory bodies in the upper right-hand corner of the home page. As proof of its reliability, the operator follows all the standards in force with respect. The betting establishment also guarantees the protection of its customers’ stored data, using the 138-bit SSL 3.0 encryption system. On the other hand, the security of the users is characterized by its adherence to the responsible gambling campaign. At the bottom of the page, several sections and slogans lead to various information related to gambling addictions. Furthermore, anyone under the age of 18 is strictly forbidden to access the platform.
Mobile application
For punters on the move, Betaland has made sure that its website is optimized for small screens, regardless of the operating system. Everything has been perfectly organized to offer them a more immersive gaming experience, whether on a smartphone or a tablet. The platform works in many languages, including Italian, English, Spanish, German, Turkish and Albanian. The real strengths lie in the smoothness and excellent functionality of the interface. For the greater satisfaction of casino fans, the portal has also developed an application dedicated to the virtual casino. Compared to the initial version of the site, there is a slight change in the layout. On the other hand, punters will benefit from a very user-friendly design as well as numerous command buttons allowing them to refine their searches.
Users’ registration
In general, an account creation on the Betaland platform is done in a very simple way. The procedure consists of clicking directly on the registration button, which is placed on the upper right side of the homepage. As soon as the form is displayed, the customer has to fill in the fields with his personal data, including name, surname, date of birth, place of birth, city, municipality, country of residence, gender and tax code.
Among other requests, the next step requires the entry of a user name, a password, an answer to a security question, and the setting of the weekly recharge limit. Completion of the process requires the customer’s approval of the site’s terms and conditions and privacy policy. Subsequently, the customer will be asked if he/she wishes to receive notifications about possible promotional offers. Validation of the account requires correct information about the bettor’s profile, confirmed by sending a copy of one of his or her identity documents, within 30 days of the registration date. The fields specified must contain the type of document, number, place and date of issue, address, postcode and expiry date.
Bonuses and promotions
According to a recent review, Betaland does not offer a welcome bonus to new registrants. However, the operator plans to regularize this offer in the near future. In order to motivate and retain all its subscribers, the establishment has reserved a section with countless promotions for them. In addition, the Happy Hour and Crazy Hour bonuses are one of the most popular offers at the moment. These rewards are subject to the general wagering conditions. For more details, we encourage you to take a look at the promotions section.
The betting and gambling market
From a general point of view, Betaland has nothing to be jealous of the other sports betting sites, judging by its wide selection of markets. The sports catalogue contains a multitude of events and there are almost thirty disciplines. These range from popular sports such as football, basketball and tennis, to niche sports such as table tennis and biathlon, to special bets that include politics, entertainment and TV shows. The display of all tournaments, statistics and full results is just a click away. There is also a filtering system, which allows for a better selection of events. The extremely competitive odds in the football market are the real strength of the bookmaker. In addition, the live betting section meets the expectations of all fans.
