Welcome bonuses at Bumbet betting site

Bumbet.com carries three regular welcome bonuses for all new players to take advantage of upon creating an account.

1. Sports welcome bonus: Bumbet presently offers a 100% Sports Welcome Bonus up to USD $150 or R$150 to all new sign ups who create an account and deposit for the first time. It is essentially a match bonus offer; just login to your newly created account at Bumbet, claim the bonus directly via the deposit page transfer funds up to 150 – Bumbet will match that amount, effectively doubling your betting money to give yourself a nice heads-start.
2. Bitcoin welcome bonus: Bumbet sweetens the deal for prospective new sign-ups by offering a 100% Match Bonus up to USD $65 / R$65 if you use bitcoin currency as your deposit option. If you prefer using cryptocurrency for your esports betting rather than traditional money, Bumbet’s bonus is definitely an enticing deal that we found quite generous when combined with the regular sign up offer (you can claim both!)
3. $450 Slots Bonus – If you like to play real money casino games as well, you can claim a match deposit bonus of 100% up to USD $450 / R$450 in bonus cash to use on online slots and video poker at Bumbet Casino.

The wagering requirements attached to the bonuses and the value of the initial deposit is the standard X5 on esports and sports markets and x40 on the casino section, so be sure to brush up on rollover rates prior to depositing so you don’t get a unexpected shock upon withdrawal. Overall, they are both fairly standard welcome bonuses compared to other longer-standing sites, but we appreciated how quick and painless it was to claim the offer(s) and have the money in our account as soon as we processed our first deposit. The bonuses are valid for 30 days as well, so Bumbet didn’t rush us to spend it all in a few matches.

What we didn’t like (and didn’t understand, either) was the other restriction – the bonus is available to all Latin American countries except for Brazil. Considering this is a Brazil-focused betting site, the exclusion in bonuses makes little sense and it definitely brings down the value significantly for our Brazilian esports readers looking for a site with decent bonuses.

Bumbet Sportsbook site interface

Bumbet presents a clean, easy to navigate site interface that allows esports bettors to access their favorite esports betting markets on the side-bar on the left-hand side of the screen in a flash, along with the 20+ other sporting markets available. The casino section is its own dedicated part for those who also like to play real money table games and slots.

Esports betting markets at Bumbet.com

Bumbet.com’s esports betting section is admittedly on the slim side of things, but the Brazil-based site presently offers markets on all of the world’s most popular esports video games, for both international and regional tournaments. You can bet on players and teams competing the major annual tournaments as well as minor qualifiers and regional competitions across the world in the following titles:

• Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
• Dota 2
• League of Legends
• Overwatch
• StarCraft 2

Generally, we found Bumbet tends to offer straight bets (which player or team will win), but for certain major tournaments, betting markets for First Blood, Map Winner, Over/Under and more were offered across CS:GO, Dota 2 and League of Legends. We hope to see more exotic bets offered in the future, but for now, Bumbet keeps is fairly simple in the esports department – which isn’t necessarily a bad thing for new bettors.

Other sports betting markets at Bumbet

If you love to place a bet on other traditional sports and novelty markets, you will also be happy with the 22 other categories available to indulge in, including:

Deposit options at Bumbet Sportsbook

Bumbet have a limited range of deposit and withdrawal options available for players, but thankfully the services they do support are the most popular and trustworthy. There is credit cards, virtual wallet services, direct bank transfers and cryptocurrency methods available for all types of privacy preferences and considerations.

• Bitcoin – Must at least deposit $20, can deposit up to $5,000
• Boleto Bancario (ticket): Must at least deposit $20, can deposit up to $1,000
• Credit card (MasterCard and/or Visa): Must at least deposit $20, can deposit up to $500
• Direct Bank Transfer / Money Wire: Must at least deposit $20, can deposit up to $1,000
• Neteller: Must at least deposit $20, can deposit up to $1,000

Bumbet admittedly is quite obtuse on certain details regarding payment methods, which we didn’t like. The site advertises all of the above banking options at the footer of every page, but in their FAQ section regarding deposits, fails to mention all of them or which regions they are available too. For this information, we had to talk to their customer support team via live chat, who could determine which payment options were available to our region (Brazil). Players from certain other Latin American countries, please note some of these options may not be locally available to use at Bumbet.

The Brazilian Real (BRL) and United States Dollar (USD) are, at the time of this review, the only two currencies accepted at Bumbet. Make sure to take conversion rates and processing fees into consideration should you decide to deposit at Bumbet with another form of currency. At the time of this review, if the currency you use for deposit is not supported, there is a 3% conversion fee.

Customer support options at Bumbet.com

Bumbet Sportsbook has a FAQ section answering common questions, though when it came to anything related to deposits, the information was often obtuse or omitted key information we had to eventually gather from customer service representatives, which wasn’t a good start. There is a 24/7 live chat service you can access on the top-right hand side of the site; in our testing, queue times were over half an hour at times and many customer service representatives, while friendly, took a long time to provide clear answers to our questions. Support was generally better whenever we got a detailed response from their email ([email protected]).

Bumbet language support

Bumbet caters to Latin America and fully supports the following three languages at the time of this review: English, Spanish and Portuguese.

Bumbet Sportsbook licensing and regulation

Bumbet.com is a fully licensed and regulated entity under BSports Media and N. V. Under License Games 2015-034, with an online gaming license from Curacao eGaming. All of its sportsbook betting markets, as well as its dedicated casino section, are audited and tested regularly to ensure fair and responsible gaming.

Bumbet Sportsbook privacy and security

The site employs standard 128-bit Secure Socket Layer digital encryption technology, which is the same system used by banks and other sites handling payments – it keeps player information (contact and financial) safe, and is the security standard all esports bettors should look out for when choosing a site to bet at.

The Final Verdict – Bumbet.com

Bumbet is a great site for Brazilian and Latin American esports fans to bet on their favourite CS:GO, Dota 2, League of Legends and other popular esports players, tournaments and teams. It currently only offers wagers on the most popular esports titles and events at this time, so for the more niche stuff you might have to look elsewhere. In terms of the other available options in South America, Bumbet stands at the top – we hope to see further improvement in their customer support, as well as more esports betting markets to suit the growing market and demand from fans who want to place real money bets on their favourite games.
