Expekt Sportsbook Betting Review for Desktop and Mobile

Pros and Cons for Expekt

Expekt Sports Betting Bonus and Promotions for Canada

One of the biggest disappointments for Canadian bettors will be the fact that there is no sign-up bonus offered for new desktop and mobile customers. This is a shame, and when compared to competing sportsbooks it really doesn't help this site. Be sure to check out our list of best sports books for Canadian players if you are looking for a great sign up bonus.

One thing that Expekt Sportsbook does offer is a $5 free bet every week. In order to receive the free bet bonus every week, you must wager $25 by placing single or multiple, pre-match or in-play bets. The bets must be on minimum odds of 1.80, and you have to accumulate $25 in bets during the week to receive your free $5 bet every Monday. What's more, look for betting codes which can be redeemed in the cashier for free bets and no deposit lines.

Another thing that stands to Expekt Sportsbook is their excellent VIP program. VIP bettors get access to great rewards and bonuses, including invites to sporting events, faster withdrawals, and more. If you are a high-roller, we highly recommend taking advantage of this. The VIP program includes access to closed competitions and bettors start collecting points in the exclusive Expekt Sports challenges where only invited customers can participate. They get to compete for bigger prize pools with higher stakes too. VIPs also get invited to special VIP events so if you ever wanted to watch your favourite team play live be sure to check this out. That's not all, there are special frequent and tailor-made bonuses for VIP members too, and the offers and products are designed around what you like. The more you bet, the more bonuses you get too. All the information you need about the VIP program can be found on the website.

Mobile Betting

Mobile betting is very popular, and this is something that the sportsbook Expekt does a great job of. There is a dedicated app that can be downloaded from the Apple Store for iOS devices such as iPhone or iPad, and the website is fully optimized for mobile customers too. The mobile betting app features the list of sports which can be accessed from the menu bar at the top of the page. Mobile users can also use all the features they would on their desktops such as betting on live events, deposits and withdrawals, and more. The app is free to download and offers great functionality. Bettors can quickly access their chosen markets while on the go. Mobile customers can also avail of a special free bet incentive which is a risk-free bet on their first wager. This is exclusive to mobile users, and you have to place a minimum bet of $5 on an event with minimum odds of 1.50. If your bet loses, the sportsbook Expekt will refund your stake to a maximum of $10. There are playthrough requirements, and to make a withdrawal, you have to bet your bonus 6x at minimum odds of 2.00.

In Play Betting/Live Betting

At Expekt Sportsbook there is a range of sports for players to bet on. A lot of these are catered towards the Nordic market, but there are 20 different sports to bet on. This includes e-sports. All your favourite sports such as NFL football, NBA, MLB, NHL, soccer, darts, rugby, and more are available, and if you're looking for something a little unusual there is water polo and handball.

The odds offered are very competitive and the average sports betting margin is 5.4%. There are great odds on football, and there are hundreds of markets including combination and over/under bets, lines, and more. If football isn't your thing, there are plenty of other sports with great odds too including desktop and mobile tennis, baseball, MMA, ice hockey, Asian handicap, boxing, motor racing, snooker, specials and more. The odds are shown in decimal format by default, but you can change these if you prefer.

The sportsbook Expekt may not be a huge brand, but in-play betting is available on some of the biggest sporting events. Many of these also include live streaming, especially on Serie A and Spanish League football games. Tennis tournaments like the US Open and Wimbledon are also streamed live. The live betting section of the website can be found at the top of the screen in the main menu. Once inside you will have access to basic statistics and odds for the sports that are currently in play. You also have the option to cash out early which is a very popular feature.

Placing bets is easy and there are helpful instructions to help you along the way. You just click on the odds and the bet type you want to place before adding your bet amount to the betting slip.

Expekt Sportsbook Interface

The Sportsbook Expect site itself is very easy to navigate and find what you're looking for. If you click on the promotions tab in the main menu, you'll find a list of all the latest offers. The site menu also includes the live betting section where you'll find basic statistics and odds for in-play betting. The website has orange and black headings making everything stand out. The main menu consists of Sport, Live Betting, Casino, Live Casino, Poker, Games, and Mobile. When you choose the Sports section, you'll find a black menu bar at the top where you can choose from Odds, Cash Out, Colossus, Live Betting, Live Results, Statistics, Promotions, and VIP. Underneath this is a slider that details all the latest events. The menu on the left-hand side of the page contains two sections. In the Featured Odds section is the English Premier League, UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and Colossus. Under this is the All Odds section which shows the sports you can bet on and the number of markets available. This includes football, tennis, NHL, NBA, MLB, baseball, American Football, rugby, and more. If you click on any of the sports, say for example NFL and MLB, you'll find all the markets and the upcoming matches with the latest odds displayed.

The middle of the screen display the Popular Bets and Last Minute bets for All, football, ice hockey, and basketball. Underneath this, you will find all the top bets along with the odds available for each. Further down the page is the Bet Live section that shows up to date results. Under this is the latest promotions.

On the right-hand side of the screen you'll find links to mini-games and under this is the Top 5 Multiples. Below this is more advertising and the desktop and mobile promotions.

Placing your bets is easy, but there is a lack of clarity spurring the betting limits. The minimum deposit amount is $10, and you can place bets from as little as $0.10 which when used on accumulators can add up to a great return and profit. There are over 22,000 different bets that you can make although the majority of these are made up of football.

Deposit and Withdrawal Methods

Managing your betting account is easy, and there are plenty of deposit and withdrawal options available. All the options are clearly displayed at the bottom of the homepage too. They include Visa, MasterCard, Paysafecard, bank transfer, Skrill, Neteller, Ukash, and more. Deposits by credit or debit card have a 2.5% fee charged to them, and the minimum deposit you can make by card is $5. If you choose Neteller, it is worth remembering that if you use it as a withdrawal option, there is a 3.9% fee added on. The minimum deposit with Neteller is $10. Skrill is the same as Neteller. Paysafecard has no deposit fees, and the minimum deposit amount is just $1. Ukash also comes with a deposit fee of 3.5%. Withdrawal times vary, but one thing that did surprise us was the fact that withdrawals by bank transfer only take 2-3 working days which is very quick when compared with other online and mobile bookmakers. We recommend that you check out the different banking methods and read the terms and conditions for each before choosing how to fund your account. The fees that Expekt Sportsbook charge vary depending on the method you choose.

Customer Support

Customer support is excellent and is available 24/7. The support team can be contacted using the live chat which can be found on the help pages of the website. This is instant support, and we found them to be very helpful and knowledgeable. There is a FAQs section on the website too, and here you'll find the basic information new customers would look for. Email support is also available, and responses can take up to 24 hours, so we advise using live chat if you need help with any issues. There is a contact form for desktop and mobile too but again, like email, this can take up to 24 hours to receive a response.

Our Expekt Sportsbook Recommendation

The company has been in operation since 1999 and has earned a solid reputation from its customers. They accept players from Canada which is good, but the lack of a sign-up bonus is a real let down. The odds are competitive, and there are plenty of markets to bet on including in-play, over/under and live streaming and. The mobile app is great, and there is a dedicated app for iOS users. Overall our review is positive, but if you are looking for a welcome bonus and no fees on deposits, we recommend taking a look at some of the other bookmakers for Canada.
