Marathonbet is licensed by Alderney Gambling Control Commission and by the Government of Curacao. The few betting shops they have in the UK are licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. 

Marathonbet is operated by a private company, as such it is hard to assess their financial situation. 

In our experience Marathonbet behaves fairly, but it is not hard to find cases on various online forums where people have serious complaints about them and they are also known to run investigations for a very long time before eventually – in most cases – processing withdrawals.

Marathonbet has a very impressive sports betting product. All the main sports and leagues are covered in addition to more or less all niche sports of importance in the CIS countries. 

We are not really impressed by their live betting platform, but all in all it is decent enough. 

Their pool betting product is one of the better currently on the market.

Marathonbet offers very good betting limits for the main markets for the most turnover-intensive soccer leagues. For most other betting markets their betting limits are less impressive. Furthermore as they are in the habit of limiting customers exceptionally fast, these betting limits does not necessarily last very long. 

The theoretical payback percentages they apply for the main markets for the main soccer leagues make their odds extremely competitive. As they are often a bit out of line with the rest of the market this can result in some very attractive prices, however taking some of these can easily result in them limiting your betting account.

When it comes to speed of withdrawal Marathonbet is an industry leader. Cashouts are seemingly processed automatically. If you have met the 1x turnover requirement, your account is fully verified, and you will receive money immediately to your e-wallet.

Marathonbet has a variety of deposit/withdrawal methods, together with a wide range of currencies.

Live chat is Marathonbet’s main contact source. Support is not the strongest part of Marathonbet’s operation, we would even say, that they have above average support, as they will be unable to solve an issue via livechat and will send you an e-mail afterwards.

Almost every issue will take at least 72 hours. They always use their 72 hours system, if they hit you with verification and you send them perfectly made documentation, they will still not respond before 72 hours, if they will need additional information, every round of action will take 72 hours.

Marathonbet’s layout seem to from the late nineties – it’s unattractive. A very simple layout, with a blend of bad taste for design, maybe to make punters focus mostly on betting.

Marathonbet offers a mobile version. They search function is almost hidden. If you find it - at the bottom of the webpage on the left side, it is pretty fast and efficient.

It’s easy to place accumulators, systems and singles. Possibility to check results right on the web is an awesome feature. Marathonbet offers decent pool betting with a great jackpot.

In terms of bonuses, Marathonbet have no signup, reload, loyalty or referral bonus, but they will pay double odds for all Lucky bets. From time to time they are offering free bets, so follow their newsletter to take part of this advantage.

Marathonbet in our opinion behaves so atrociously in this regard that we were unsure if we could put them on our list of recommended partners. We know of many customers who only got one bet with this operator before their account was severely limited or closed. If you want to maintain your account with this operator it is of the utmost importance to be conscious about what you bet. 

As we also know of non-recreational punters who have turned over in excess of 100 000 EUR on their Marathonbet accounts, we decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and place them on our recommended list.
