Review: Tipico Sportsbook

At Tipico Sportsbook you can right now enjoy a 100% up to $250 deposit bonus.

So, what does Germany’s market leader have to offer on its US-facing website? A lot, apparently. First off, the tidiness characteristic of European sportsbooks is apparent the moment you enter the website.

Instead of having big bars on the sides of the screen, Tipico Sportsbook utilizes the width of your PC’s screen to create a better visual experience. There is enough space between different sections, and all the most important events are highlighted. Overall, Tipico does a great job of showcasing the biggest games.

Another example of great usability is the shortcuts on the left. Right above the Popular tab, you can find Quick Links for Boosted Odds, Promos, today’s events, and more. In fact, that entire side is an example of great UX design where double-scrolling isn’t a nuisance.

Our experts also like the ‘more is less’ approach on the footer. There aren’t dozens of supposedly useful tabs — just 5-6 contain all the information and keep the nice spaciousness alive. Plus, this minimalistic setup leaves room for cool gimmicks, such as the free Mini Games (NJ only), Blackjack, and Cashberry. Just open them in an in-page window and play a few hands; it’s a real treat.

If you thought the desktop version was beginner-friendly and easy to use, wait until you download the mobile app. It’s available for both iOS and Android and requires a newer version of either of these two operating systems in order to work properly. But despite these seemingly high system requirements, the software as a whole is smooth and doesn’t eat up too much RAM.

We can’t help but point out how hard it is to fit so many features into a single app. Tipico Sportsbook is famous for its extra features, such as odds boosts, same-game parlays and teasers, and they’re all available on your phone. And despite taking some cues from the desktop version, this piece of software is much more than your average rework.

In fact, we’d say this is the most usable sportsbook app in the legal US gambling market – that’s saying something. And last but not least, we love how the most important buttons and text are in big bold letters. Bonus points for accessibility.

Upon creating an account, we were pleasantly surprised by the number of available payment methods. Even though Tipico is only available in a couple of states, they’ve obviously done their homework and decided to add all kinds of different options. This helps players with unique preferences adapt to the environment more easily. And we have to say, it works.

The minimum deposit is $10, while the maximum varies between payment providers. However, there is a daily $2,000 limit which is negotiable for players who are deemed worthy enough by Tipico. When it comes to the options themselves, Tipico Sportsbook accepts the following:

• VISA
• MasterCard
• PayPal
• Apple Pay
• eCheck
• Bank Transfer
• Play+
• Cash cage (selected states only)

When it comes to withdrawals, Tipico Sportsbook is a bit more liberal when it comes to limits. The minimum is still $10, but the maximum is $10,000, although this doesn’t apply to all options.

Furthermore, the very process of claiming your winnings is smooth. Tipico processed all our withdrawal requests within an hour or so, while the money landed in our designated accounts in 2-3 days. These options are currently available:

• Play+
• PayPal
• Bank Transfer
• VISA
• MasterCard

And since Tipico Sportsbook only operates in regulated markets, they are required to perform KYC procedures on all new players. However, this is a big brand with well-trained staff, so the verification process takes 1-2 days at worst.

If you aren’t sure about something or need technical support, Tipico staff are at your disposal. You can reach the sportsbook’s agents via email, phone, or live chat. Live chat is always available when you’re logged in, while other options are available in the Contact Us tab. Just enter some basic personal details in the contact form, send a message, and you’ll get a response in a few hours.

Keep in mind that live chat is the fastest way, and you should definitely use it in case of an emergency. But for most other occasions, the Help Center will fulfill your needs. It’s basically an FAQ section with tips and explanations about the most important aspects of the site, including common issues.

We had a blast using it, as it wasn’t too serious or technical, something US sportsbooks like to do. Overall, Tipico has all bases covered, making us feel safe and relaxed while spending time on the website and app.

Other than approval from regulators in countries like Germany, Croatia, and Austria, Tipico Sportsbook also operates legally in several US states – Iowa, New Jersey, Colorado, and Ohio. In addition, the Tipico casino operates in New Jersey. With all this in mind, we can confirm that the subject of today’s review has licenses from the following regulators:

• Colorado Limited Gaming Control Commission (CLGCC)
• New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (NJDGE)
• Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission (IRGC)
• Ohio Casino Control Commission (OCCC)

This is a perfect example of strong licensing. With several strict regulators giving them the green light, you can’t help but conclude that Tipico Sportsbook is indeed safe and legitimate. But don’t forget – this isn’t a newcomer we’re talking about. They’ve been around since 2004, and conquering the OH, IA, NJ, and CO markets is far from their first rodeo.

If you’ve never played at Tipico Sportsbook before, the rewards on offer make the opportunity worthwhile. Keep in mind that this doesn’t mean all players will have the same promos at their disposal. Since the site is available in four states, Tipico has to respect four different sets of laws and target four markets. As a result, there might be some inconsistencies here and there.

Nevertheless, there’s still a lot of value to be found. For instance, new players from Iowa can get to choose between two welcome offers:

1. 100% deposit match up to $250. The Gambla team liked this promo because it’s simple, without any gimmicks whatsoever. All you have to do is deposit at least $10 using eligible deposit methods. The amount will be matched up to $250. The wagering requirements (deposit + betting bonus) are only 2x, significantly lower than what we’re used to.
2. $10 free bet. If you don’t feel like spending money right away, you can just claim a $10 free bet and test the site firsthand. We like this particular promo because it has no limits on odds, markets, or bet types, except Round Robin bets. It doesn’t tie you down or cause you to spend money when you’re not sure you want to.

In addition to these two bonuses, Tipico Sportsbook regularly launches limited-time offers, tournaments and other types of rewards for regular players. The best way to stay informed is to check the Promotions section daily, in addition to signing up for the Tipico email newsletter.
