Mostbet India Review

Mostbet have experience on their side, having opened their virtual doors back in 2009, and they now operate in over 90 countries, a testament to their size and ambition.

Originally aimed at the Eastern European market, Mostbet joined many betting sites in seeing the potential of focusing on the Indian betting market as well, where millions of potential new customers are up for grabs.

Indian customers with money in their pockets, smartphones to hand, and a thirst for online cricket betting, plus other popular sports like football, tennis, and kabbadi.

MostBet have done all the basics right when it comes to the usual checkboxes: a decent website and app, promos, good availability of payment methods, competitive odds, efficient customer service, and the adoption of modern features to reflect customers’ preferences in 2023 like offering cashouts and accepting cryptocurrencies.

The website’s availability in over 25 languages reflects their global presence, although as we’ll see, Mostbet has made an effort to take note of localized Indian preferences in terms of payment options, languages, and a few other key areas.

No betting sites’ work is ever done though and in this MostBet review, we’ll highlight the areas needing improvement, as well as the ones they’ve already nailed and we will also tell you whether you should use Mostbet for IPL betting or not.

Mostbet Review – pros & Cons

MostBet Pros

• Lots of languages available to view the site in and lots of currencies to play in.
• Good availability of payment methods including deposits and withdrawals with UPI on the betting site.
• Efficient customer care can be reached in four different ways in multiple languages, including Hindi.
• Lots of ongoing offers to keep customers engaged, including a good loyalty program.
• 30+ sports including kabbadi.
• Huge supply of competitions and leagues for cricket, football, and tennis.
• Odds are very competitive in mainstream markets.
• Decent selection of e-sports markets.
• Mobile browser and native app of high quality.

Mostbet cons

• Welcome offers are complicated and offer poor value.
• Few ‘player specials’ markets even for the more high-profile competitions.
• No Bet Builders.
• Cash Out feature is limited in use.
• Curacao license is okay but not the best.
• Limited FAQs on the main site to help you navigate any problems.

MostBet license, safety, and security

It’s a rule of thumb that any betting site is only as good as it is safe.

In other words, an Indian Sportsbook may tick every box in terms of having endless sports, great odds, big bonuses, and everything else.

But how do they perform when it comes to the essential job of keeping you, your money, and your data safe? If the answer is ‘not so well’ then you might as well ignore all the rest as ‘white noise’.

Mostbet holds the Curacao Gambling License. On the one hand, we don’t consider this the most prestigious betting license to hold.

We believe that the UK Gambling Commission and Malta Gaming Authority Licences are harder to obtain, more stringent, easier to lose, subject to more regulation and fines, and do a more thorough job of checking everything regularly.

On the other hand, lots of other top betting sites in India only hold the Curacao License and are to be fully trusted; so that alone isn’t a deal-breaker by any means.

What we do know from trying it all out is that they boast the latest technology to keep your personal info and money safe. There are very few complaints on online forums about safety concerns related to them and their track record speaks for itself. Mostbet wouldn’t operate in as many countries (over 90) for almost 15 years, if they weren’t to be trusted.

These things catch up with you sooner or later.

Key Takeaways

• Curacao License is acceptable but other licenses are even better.
• No concerns about your money and data not being protected.
• Legacy (15 years of existence) and geographical reach (present in over 90 countries) suggest you’re in safe hands.

MostBet Sports betting markets

Of course, Mostbet has all the mainstream sports like cricket, soccer, field hockey, tennis, and basketball are available to bet on. Not just that but the offering is vast, meaning that it’s not just the best-known top leagues and competitions that you can wager on, but just about ALL of them.

Take cricket, for example. In addition to ODIs, Test matches, T20Is, the Indian Premier League, and The Hundred, customers can bet on domestic matches from the likes of Australia, Bangladesh, Japan, Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE.

When it comes to football, there are over 80 different domestic leagues available to bet on, in some cases like England going down to the seventh or eighth division, including Under-21 games and women’s football.

Though there are endless markets to bet on, Mostbet isn’t as good as others when it comes to bets on goalscorers, players to provide assists, players to be booked or sent off, or players to rack up a certain amount of passes, or fouls.

This is a common theme because it’s something of a similar story to cricket. Lots of markets but not many featuring individual players, the way there are for team performances.

That said, their odds are pretty competitive on the more mainstream markets with the likes of football, tennis, and cricket markets showing an overrround of roughly 105%, which is pretty good.

They get brownie points for covering over 30 different sports, including some more obscure ones like water polo, chariot racing, hurling, Gaelic football, and…kabbadi.

You can also bet on the increasingly popular world of esports, which includes teams competing in League of Legends, Valorant, and Dota 2.

Key Takeaways

• Lots of depth to betting markets on mainstream sports, including lots of competitions in lower divisions.
• Over 30 different sports are offered.
• Competitive odds on major markets, less so on side markets.
• Not many ‘player specials’ markets are offered on football and cricket.
• Kabbadi markets offered.

How To Open Account On MostBet?

Your journey at any betting site has to start somewhere. Here’s what you need to know about getting going at Mostbet when you first sign up.

Opening a Mostbet account

• Indian-based customers are welcome. The Mostcare website and Mostbet customer care department are both available in Hindi.
• Click on the big orange ‘Register’ button at the top right-hand part of the screen to get going.
• Customers have a choice of providing the following identification methods when it comes to registering: your mobile phone number, your e-mail address, or a social media account ID. All very 2023 this last one!
• Choose a currency (probably Indian Rupees), password, security question, the answer to the question, and contact details to finalize your registration.

How To Deposit On Mostbet?

• Enter your Mostbet login and Click on Deposit.
• The following payment methods are all available to Mostbet customers: Mastercard, VISA, Webmoney, ecoPayz, Astropay, Google Pay, AMEX, Bitcoin, Ethereum, PaySafe, and Paytm.
• Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum are safe and completely anonymous methods of funding your account. But they’re tricky to get your head around and subject to wild price fluctuations, so won’t be for everyone.
• Paytm is arguably the easiest and quickest of the depositing methods to use. After creating a request number and sending it to the dedicated Mostbet number (9311075465), the deposit should be processed within 3-5 minutes.
• Deposits start at just 2 USD/300 INR for most payment methods, meaning you can make a small deposit at the beginning just to get you going.
• There are endless currencies you can choose to deposit, play and withdraw in. These include obvious ones (US Dollar, Euros), not-so-obvious-ones (Georgian Lari, Singaporean Dollars, Mexican Pesos), and crucially, Indian Rupees.

Key Takeaways:

• Keep safe and anonymous by depositing with a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin.
• Paytm is the fastest and easiest deposit method.
• Minimum Deposits start at just 300 INR or equivalent in other currencies.
• Deposit and play in Rupees or a huge choice of other currencies.

Passing your KYC check

You won’t be able to withdraw any money from your Mostbet account, or any other betting account until you pass a KYC (Know your Customer) check.

The KYC check is in place for several reasons. The most obvious of them is that it’s a requirement of holding the Curacao License that all of a Sportsbook’s customers have to pass in order to avoid issues with Fraud, Integrity, and Money-Laundering.

The equally obvious reason for a KYC check is to protect the customers themselves. Someone may be using your personal details and card/E-wallet without you knowing and compromising your security and money.

If the KYC check wasn’t in place, fraudsters could get away with impersonating you, stealing your money, and worse still, have you accused of criminal activities.

Either way, passing a KYC check is simple and easy to do. It just involves submitting one or more documents such as ID, driver’s license, and a utility bill, which you’ll surely have to hand anyway.

Uploading them is easy to do and follows the same process as that used for loads of other things, such as opening an e-wallet account.

The bottom line is that even though you don’t have to straight away, passing the KYC check as soon as possible is very much in your interest.

Firstly, it means that if there’s an issue there for some reason, at least you know nice and early and don’t waste any more time at that betting site.

Secondly, it means that when it comes to requesting a withdrawal, you will already have done the hard work and are ready to withdraw right away, without having to go through the process at a later stage.

Key Takeaways

• Passing the KYC check is as much in your interest as that of the betting site.
• It shouldn’t take you more than 5 minutes to do.
• Do your KYC checks as soon as possible.

Mostbet app Review

Gone are the days of rushing home to your computer or an internet café to place a bet before that crucial IPL or Premier League match gets underway.

Smartphones, ever present in our pockets, put an end to all that. Most major betting sites in India say they have far more users using their mobile phones for all their betting activities than their computers these days.

And why wouldn’t that be the case? We’re so used to using our mobiles anywhere, anytime. So why should it be any different when it comes to online betting? All you need is your phone handy and good internet or Wifi connection.

We did try the Mostbet app for a week and we came away very impressed.

Key Takeaways

• Mobile browser version of the Mostbet site is very impressive.
• The Mostbet app is available on Android or iOS with the Mostbet app download easy to do, meaning you’ll have it on your phone in a matter of minutes.
• Deposit, withdraw, place sports bets, or play casino games straight from the Mostbet app.

Mostbet welcome Bonus Offer

You’ve registered, made a deposit, passed your KYC check, and downloaded the Mostbet app, so you can bet on the go.

So, what’s next?

The answer is you can choose to get your hands on your Mostbet welcome offer, if you so wish. If you so wish, because the welcome offer isn’t great, is somewhat complicated and may be more hassle than it’s worth.

New customers can choose to take the Casino welcome offer, or the Sports one, but not both.

Mostbet Casino offer

• 100% match deposit up to 25,000 INR.
• Bonus goes up to 125%, albeit for the same maximum amount, if you deposit within 30 minutes of opening your account.
• In addition to the match bonus, you get 250 free spins.
• The free spins are released in batches of 50 a day, for 5 days. The site will tell you which slot those particular free spins are available on.
• Wagering requirements are 60x.
• Bonus must be used within 72 hours.

Mostbet Sports Welcome Bonus

• 100% match deposit up to 25,000 INR.
• Bonus goes up to 125%, albeit for the same maximum amount, if you deposit within 30 minutes of opening your account. Leave it longer than that and 100% is as much as you can get.
• The bonus amount needs to be wagered 5 times on accumulator bets. These are bets made up of several selections, where all the selections need to win for the accumulator to be a winner.
• At least 3 of the selections in the accumulator must have odds of 1.4. That means that a) your accumulator must have at least 3 selections and b) the absolute minimum odds of your accumulator must be 2.744.
• Bonus must be turned over within 30 days of making the deposit.

If/once you’ve managed to do that (not so easy), you’ll need to enter the Mostbet promo code ‘Sport’ if you took the sports to offer or (you guessed it), ‘Casino’ if you took the casino bonus and free spins, instead.

Key Takeaways

• Nice to be able to choose which offer (Sports/Casino) suits you best, though some betting companies allow you to claim both.
• Might as well deposit within 30 minutes to get that extra 25% in the welcome offer.
• Wagering requirements on casino offer (60x) are almost impossible to fulfil.
• Terms of the sports offer are unecessarily complex and demanding.
• Not so easy to turn over the sports bonus, either.
• Mostbet customers are advised to accept their welcome offer isn’t great and even think about not taking up either of the offers, at all.

Mostbet promos and features

Mostbet promos

Value-seekers and bonus hunters may find themselves right at home by going to the Mostbet promotions page. Here are just some of the goodies that can be picked up:

• 10% cashback on casino losses.
• A deposit bonus every Friday.
• An occasional Mostbet free bet where you can place a wager and get 100% refunded if your bet goes on to lose.
• Boosted accumulators when you combine bets from different sports.
• A Mostbet free bet to celebrate special occasions like your birthday or religious festivals.
• Get rewarded for inviting friends to come and play at Mostbet.
• The Loyalty Programme for Sports and Casino sees you get rewarded for completing tasks in the form of bonus points, free bets, and cashback. The higher up you are (on the Programme) by playing often, wagering a lot, being active on a lot of days, or making regular deposits, the easier it is for you to rack up rewards.

Mostbet features

The world of online betting waits for no one and new features are constantly being added to make Sportsbooks more exciting and versatile. With that in mind:

Cash Out Feature

Cash Out means taking profits on bets before they’ve reached their natural conclusion. It allows you to secure a profit on a bet that looks likely to win and get some of your stakes back on a bet that looks like it will lose.

The good news is that feature is available here. The bad news is that Partial Cash Outs are not allowed, meaning there’s little flexibility in terms of executing your Cash Out.

Bet Builder 

Another popular recent feature is being able to place accumulators made up of selections within the same game. Sadly, it’s not a feature available at Mostbet. Let’s hope that changes.

Takeaways

• Lots of regular offers.
• Loyalty Programme rewards the most active and loyal customers.
• Cash Out feature available but limited; Bet Builders not currently available.

Mostbet Customer Care

There are four methods available for you to deal with queries and problems, should they come up.

Languages you can do so in include English, Portuguese, French, Italian, Spanish, and as we know already Hindi.

These are the three methods, complete with relevant details and response times:

• E-mail: support-en@mostbet.com (general queries) / ID@mostbet.com (Identification/Account verification). 5 hours wait time.
• What’s app- +447441447520. 20 minutes wait time.
• Live Chat. 20 minutes on average.
• Telegram (@mbeng_bot). Normally instant.

In addition to this, there are a handful of FAQs available that may help solve some of the more basic queries. They could do with adding quite a few more which would help customers solve their own problems and negate the need for the Mostbet Customer Care department being so busy.

Key Takeaways

• Get in touch in multiple languages, including Hindi.
• What’s App and Live Chat are easy, quick, and efficient.
• No telephone service is currently available.

How To Withdraw Money On Mostbet?

Withdrawing on Mostbet is very similar to depositing so if you’ve done the first bit, doing the second bit should come easily to you. But here’s what to do:

• Click on your profile.
• Press/Tap ‘Withdraw funds from the account’.
• Choose a withdrawal method. All the ones listed above under Depositing are also available here for withdrawal.
• Choose the amount you wish to withdraw and the account number/wallet number where relevant.
• Most transactions take 1-3 days while the likes of Bitcoin and ecoPayz take a little less time, sometimes just one day.
• Paytm is again, the recommended one, taking just 3 hours.
• Check the terms and conditions to see what are the minimum and maximum amounts you can withdraw per day, week, month, etc as they vary over time.

Key Takeaways

• Lots of available withdrawal methods.
• Paytm is the recommended one for being the quickest.

Passing your KYC check straight away avoids delays at the withdrawal stage.

Mostbet Review Conclusion

If you’re an India-based sports punter who wants to see the site in Hindi, play with Rupees, use local payment options, and bet on Indian sports like cricket, field hockey, and kabbadi, then Mostbet may just be the betting site for you.

As we’ve seen, there’s plenty to like about and they mostly tick the major boxes. For the beginner to the intermediate punter, they provide you with all you need.

That said, the more highbrow and experienced player may find a few features lacking, a few markets missing, or a few other areas of possible improvement.

We’re confident that Mostbet will carry on improving and iron out a few flaws to be among the very elite of Indian sportsbooks.
