After the merger the 2011 merger between Bwin and PartyGaming, Bwin.Party became the world’s largest publicly traded online gaming firm and has been traded on the London Stock Exchange with the ticker BPTY. GVC’s takeover, which was completed on February1st 2016, brought this to an end. Even so, due the fact that Bwin has been a public company since 2000, when it was listed on the stock exchange in Vienna, we have a good grasp of the finances and the strength of the company’s business model.

It is completely obvious to us that Bwin has the financial resources to more than cover the customer’s balances, however due to less than impressive behavior exhibited towards winning punters in the past, we cannot give Bwin anywhere close to full marks in this category.

Bwin offers markets for a vast range of sports. They have a lot of special bets for the main sports and leagues. Having their roots in central Europe they also have a very good product for niche sports, primarily the ones that are relevant in continental Europe.

Their live-betting product was developed in-house and is magnificent.

The theoretical payback percentage makes many of the prices somewhat unattractive. The betting limits are very unattractive, however if they should classify you as a highrolling and losing customer, there is a chance that they will transfer you to their site for VIP customers (Premium).

Their betting limits for the live betting is in general more attractive than their limits for the pre match markets.

If you are not a Premium user, you will be charged of 3% withdrawal fees, that’s why we rated them so low here. With the margin Bwin enjoys (7.5%) on it’s betting operation, the company ought to process withdrawals for free.

The cashout process is extremely slow! Even with the Premium status, you will have to wait several stages: Withdrawal request -> confirmation of withdrawal (2-3days) -> Processing of withdrawal (2-3 days).

Furthermore; the more a player withdraws, the longer the delay.

Bwin cover 23 languages, and wide FAQ library, and only if you couldn’t find an answer, they suggest using a website form to leave them a message.

Response time is slow, around 48 hours. They have mobile support.

Bwin do not have live support, so overall it takes time to get issues not covered by the FAQ solved.

However their FAQ and help sections are one of the best over the industry. A lack of 24/7 support have contributed to us always feeling disappointed about Bwin’s support operation.

We like Bwins software, search function, layout and usability. The website is easy to navigate, as is searching for and placing bets.

Bwin has a decent mobile version together with application, and it makes a thrilling gambling experience, as you are able to use your Apple or Android product for betting.

The software provide swift registration, but when it comes to account management, it’s not easy to find withdrawal button.

The in-play action is first-class, bets are clearly presented, and it is simple to place bets. The software works without any problems and is very fast.

Bwin offers a 100 % bonus for the first time depositor, as well as they will serve you with different offers at their slots, BJ and other games. Bwin offers a good retention bonuses and free bets.

Since most players get rather low starting limits, betting accounts does not tend to get limited so fast. However if you should be transferred to their Premium website your betting limits will be slashed quickly if you should start to win. Bwin also have a tendency to treat winning customers somewhat bad in other regards. As an example they may insist to process your withdrawals as bank withdrawals even if you made your deposits using other payment solutions.
