BetClic description

Betclic has gone through several stages since its launch. When it was launched at the end of 2005, it was very weak compared to Betandwin and MrBookmaker, the market leaders at that time. By the end of 2007, Betclic had become more and more visible on sports sites and had started large scale marketing. Given the flow of new players, Betclic was unable to stay just another run of the mill bookmaker and had to invest to improve its product.

This is when Stéphane Courbit became involved through his fund, Mangas Capital, which bought a large share of Betclic and made large investments to make Betclic the best bookmaker in UK.

Using Betclic

Once you have logged on to Betclic you can bet in several ways. You can see several sections in the menu on the left with each corresponding to different sort criteria. This allows you to select to bet on the day's events by clicking 'by day'.

If you want to see all the bets offered for each sport, you have to look just below and select the required championship. If your championship is not displayed, click 'see all...' and make your choice.

Once you have clicked a championship, the page splits into two parts. At the top in an area with a grey background you can 'select the type of bets to display'. This section lets you bet on your desired outcome. If the terms are not clear, visit the sports bets glossary.

If you just want to bet on the home team winning, click on the odds under 1 and enter the stake in the small window that opens on your right. All you have to do now is click on 'Place your bets' and wait for your match to end to see if you have won or lost.

The odds

The odds offered by Betclic are generally much better than they used to be. For football, Betclic has one of the best choice of odds in the market. We recommend that you use your bonus for this type of bet so that you can learn how to bet without taking any risk.

The range of sports bets is a bit weak compared to Bwin or Unibet but you have more than enough to satisfy you if you want to bet of the main championships (League 1 and 2 of every European country).

Reliability

Betclic has a Maltese license. This allows it to operate legally under European law and offer sports bets in every EU country. This license involves full audits and a very detailed inspection of numerous points by the Maltese authorities (finance, transaction security, prevention of addiction, etc.).
Transactions are completely secure. Making a deposit on Betclic or any other bookmaker described on Sosgambling is the same as making an on-line purchase with a leading merchant such as Amazon or Alapage. The security is similar or even better for bookmakers who have to take more on-line criteria into account.

Betclic is still a candidate for a license in Europe; it already has licenses in all the major European countries that offer them.

Customer service

If you have problems or questions, you can contact Betclic via:

  • E-mail: support@betclic.com

The time taken to get an answer by e-mail is nearly 8 hours and the answer quality is very good.

Areas for improvement

  • Customer service could be faster
  • Range of sports bets is a bit weak 
  • Poor odds on US sports

This bookmaker is suitable

  • for new gamblers who want to start making sports bets
  • gamblers with a few months of experience
  • gamblers who want to bet on football

This bookmaker is not suitable

  • For expert gamblers with considerable sports bets experience

BetClic conclusion

Betclic is the best bookmaker on the market if you are a level 0 gambler (who has just started), level 1 gambler (who started a few weeks earlier) or level 2 gambler (who started a few months earlier). The quality of its bonus and its reliability, on their own, justify registering with this bookmaker.

All the popular bets are available for football, tennis, rugby and in other sports.
If you are an expert gambler and want to bet on exotic sports such as cricket, Scandinavian ice hockey or the Belgian third division, we recommend that you look at another bookmaker.
