The bet365 brand has become synonymous with sports betting and casino gaming the world over. From a huge sportsbook right through to live casino games, the platform has pretty much everything the betting enthusiast might want or need. For us in Uganda, though, it’s worth noting that while available, it’s not fully localized. Put simply, you’ll be using USD and international payment methods until the operator takes the step of fully committing the the local market.
Registration and Verification
Signing up with bet365 is pretty seamless, though we’d recommend having your phone on hand. You need to verify it with a one-time passcode right off the bat. Everything else is straightforward and pretty much standard. More importantly, you will have to undergo an ID verification, meaning you will have to upload a clear and current copy of your ID card. The whole thing should not take more than a day and it’s key in order to be able to withdraw any winnings.
Sports Betting Options in Uganda
Now, with regards to the sportsbook: that’s really where bet365 flexes hard. Whether you are a die-hard soccer fan or you have started building a soft spot for tennis courtesy of the recent Wimbledon hype, it does it all. Sure, they’ve got the big ones like the English Premier League and Italy Serie A, but that’s not all. You’ll also find options to bet on smaller leagues and even some more obscure sports. It is like browsing through Netflix–something pops up, and before you know it, you’re tracking the scores from an obscure Swedish soccer league.
To those who enjoy getting strategic with their bets, the wide extent of markets is a huge plus. Beyond your standard “Full-Time Result” or “Double Chance,” they offer those more obscure markets like “Both Teams to Score” and “Asian Handicap.” Such markets get things pretty exciting, especially if you know your favorite team inside out. Be that soccer, basketball, or even darts, bet365’s sportsbook keeps things interesting.
Casino Games
The casino section is similarly robust, filled with all the classics alongside modern slots and themed games. There’s Age of the Gods, Epic Troy, and plenty more, we’re talking cutting-edge graphics and compelling paytables that pull you right in. Also, if you’re feeling extra lucky, jackpot games like 8 Immortals give that little more oomph for an ultimate gaming experience. Let’s face it, who doesn’t dream of that big jackpot prize just a click away?
Live Casino
It’s easy to recommend the live casino for all those people who are fans of live dealer games. Enjoy the feel of a real-time action with the dealer spinning the roulette wheel right in front of yo–-the glitz of Vegas without ever leaving the house. The live casino consists of options such as roulette and blackjack with various table styles, including some unique flavors like Hindi Roulette and Turkish Roulette. The HD streams keep things crisp enough for one to catch every move. It’s about as real as it will get without having to change out of your pajamas.
Poker Room
For all the poker enthusiasts in Uganda, this is the go-to place. The poker room contains cash games, Twister games, and tournaments that fit all budgets. Buy-ins are as low as $0.10, ideal when one is testing the waters. There’s also the “Wild Twister” game format, adding a little twist to the otherwise conservative poker setting. For those who like a little competition, test your mettle with leaderboard challenges such as the “Premium League” and “Bounty Hunter Series”. It gets easier to play from anywhere with their poker mobile application, be it when you are chilling at home or killing time in a coffee shop.
Bonuses and Promotions
bet365 has a few tricks up its sleeve regarding promotions, all available in Uganda. The Open Account Offer makes a boost available in the form of bet credits to new users. Besides, there is also an Acca Boost for accumulator enthusiasts and an early payout offer on soccer when your team is up by two goals. And if you happen to be into tennis, it’s got you covered with the Tennis Retirement Guarantee, should your player need to retire. It is a nice lineup of promotions that add some extra perks to your betting experience.
Payment Methods
Here’s where things might feel a bit too international – while bet365 accepts a wide range of payment methods, you will be working with the USD as there is no UGX option just yet. It goes without saying, no mobile payments either. Deposit methods include Visa, MasterCard, Skrill, Neteller, and Wire Transfer. All of them are instantly processed except bank transfers, which could take as much as 10 banking days. No transactional fees are charged, so you won’t need to keep a lookout for additional cuts on your deposits and withdrawals.
Mobile Experience and App
We know that a great mobile experience is something that one expects from any online service. bet365 does well in this regard, too. You can access the sportsbook either via a mobile site or download their dedicated app for iOS and Android. The usage of the app is pretty straightforward: things you need are quickly found, and switching between sports, casino, and other games is effortless. Minimal system requirements would differ: for instance, the Sports App works with Android 8+, while the Casino App requires at least Android 12+ or iOS16+. That’s just what one needs to quickly bet on the run, whether driving in a car or taking a brief cup-of-coffee break outside.
Customer Support and Contact Information
From a customer support perspective, bet365 covers you. You can contact them through live chat, which is 24 hours, seven days a week, for timely assistance. If one prefers to contact them via email or even the normal post, they have that option too:
- Live Chat: 24/7 support
- Email: support-eng@customerservices365.com
Keep in mind getting live support can be a bit tricky given how big of an operator bet365 is. Still, with some patience, you will certainly get through.
