Bethard Sports Review for 2024

Bethard sports has been operating since 2012, which actually makes it among the old guard of online sports casinos. As well as offering more than 25 different sports, this pro sportsbook also provides live in-play betting and cash-out options, a fantasy sports section and has a separate casino too, making it one of the most well-rounded options out there.

You’ll find all the usual global sports such as soccer, cricket, golf and rugby, as well as hockey, basketball, baseball and American football. Use our Bethard sportsbook Canada review below to help you pick out all the pros, cons and best offers for Canadian customers.

The sports betting options at Bethard is one of the aspects that makes it stand out most. Much more than an after-thought tacked on to an online casino, the Bethard sportsbook is diverse with over 25 types of sports ripe for wagers.

It will particularly suit Canadian bettors thanks to extensive options on popular North American sports such as hockey, baseball, basketball, winter sports and American football.

But for those who enjoy a sprinkling of international sports too, there’s a huge variety of worldwide soccer competitions as well as other major sports like MMA, cricket, tennis, golf, motor racing and boxing.

We’re also a fan of the library of niche sports such as floorball, handball and volleyball. While, other areas of interest include esports betting, fantasy sports leagues and chance to place a wager on politics markets.

It’s important to have a big variety of banking options and Bethard doesn’t disappoint in that regard. As a large and international operator it has all the major and main transaction types you’d except like credit cards and eWallets. We’ve seen bigger lists, but this one features most of the big hitters.

It’s worth checking that whatever method you choose to make your first deposit with is applicable for the welcome bonus. While a minimum deposit equivalent to €30 must be made and wagered once before any withdrawals can be made. But Bethard withdrawal times seem to be fairly quick, at anything from instantly for some eWallets up to 7 working days for other methods.

Typically, transactions will usually take 24 hours, but check out the table below for more detail on payments.

Payment Method	Deposit	Withdrawal	Withdrawal Time	Withdrawal Time

Considering Bethard has some of the best software from top game providers for its casino section, it’s no surprise that the entire site and sportsbook is also a slickly-run machine. Fast page loading times and seamless navigation are a big plus. This means that beginner bettors can find their way around easily.

The design of the entire site goes with a distinctive yellow and black colour-pairing and there are plenty of impressive graphics. You’ll be welcomed on the homepage by the sports bonus offer, but can find your way to the sports and live betting sections at the menu in the top left of the page. In the right top corner, you can easily see the button to click to create an account.

The sportsbook itself is very simple, clearly laid-out and manages to avoid cluttering. A quick links menu, a full menu and a search bar will help you find the sports and fixtures you want, while their fixture menu also has quick routes to help you get to upcoming games and in-play action.

Indulging in a spot of sports betting with Bethard is a hugely enjoyable experience. That's no surprise, however, as the fact Bethard Casino has been operating since 2012 gives it a huge edge in the market. Site navigation is smooth and the software state-of-the-art, which gives the online sportsbook a professional, reliable and trustworthy feel that's backed up by its security credentials.

If you're new to betting, this is a great place to start thanks to the mix of major and lesser-known sports available, as well as the ability to cash-out of your bets while games and fixtures are in-play. It means there's always an escape route, so you can take the money and run if you're doing well, or stop the losses if things aren't going your way.

The Bethard sports bonus is welcome, but nothing extraordinary and you get the feeling that this well-established site could do with adding some new bonuses, promos and ways to win rewards to keep things fresh. However, the fun addition of fantasy sports and the top class mobile-optimization mean it's easy to overlook these aspects and just enjoy the overall first-rate betting experience.
