STSBet Review 2023 & UK Horse Racing Rating

Our STSBet rating is pretty high when it comes to their bonus offers, as despite being a smaller operator, they have generous bonuses to match some of the bigger players on the market. For comparison, check out our Betfair review and Unibet review.

The first and most attractive bonus offers by STSBet is their welcome offer, which gives you £10 in free bets to start with to get started with. To claim the bonus, you will need to

You’ll need to place a deposit and bet of at least £10 to qualify for the free bet. It is only available to first-time bettors on any sports market with odds of 1/2 (1.5) or better. You will need to use your free bet within 30 days after receiving it. You should receive it within 48 hours of your qualifying bet settling.

While the welcome bet and its conditions might not be as generous as the one found in our 888sport review, STSBet legit has some of the best sports bonuses for existing customers. The shortcoming for us here at HorseBetting.com is their lack of bonus options on horse racing, which they don’t actually offer betting options on at all in their sportsbook disappointingly.

The STSBet website looks good overall and is user friendly, and as a result, our STSBet rating is pretty high for this section. The desktop version of the website is extremely easy to navigate, with all sports options on the left and all available bonuses on the right. Across the top, you’ll find all important areas of the website, including a large orange button through which you can easily access all of your account information. The bet slip itself is very well designed and requires just a few easy clicks to place all manner of bet types. As a non-account holder, you can still test out the betting slip and even have your first bet ready before signing up.

And what about the design – is STSBet legit in its looks? Overall, we’d have to say yes there. The layout is simple and contributes heavily to the site’s user-friendly nature. Meanwhile, the orange and blue colour scheme makes the sight brighter and more interesting than most dark-coloured sportsbooks, such as the site in our SportNation review, without being too overbearing. Nothing is too flashy or over-complex, meaning loading times are not really an issue you’ll have to deal with on this site. The downside? There is no mobile app, however, the desktop website is well optimised for the small screen. Moreover, we have it on good authority that an STSBet app is most likely on its way in the not-too-distant future.

The available payment methods played an important part in our overall STSBet rating in this review. The main selling point of the payments with STSBet is the speed. You have a choice of 9 different deposit methods, 8 of which are processed instantly – with the only slower method being bank transfer, which takes 1-3 days. As well as the e-payment methods, including PayPal and MuchBetter, Visa and MasterCard deposits are also processed instantly. The minimum deposit amount is £10 for all payment methods with the maximum being £10,000.

All of the available deposit methods can also be used to withdraw as well, with STSBet legit having some of the fastest processing times on the market here as well. PayPal, MuchBetter, Neteller & Skrill withdrawals are all processed in 30 minutes or less, while even bank transfer and card withdrawals only take from 1-3 days. For all payment methods, STSBet only has the minimum withdrawal amount of £10 listed – with no maximum mentioned.

Deposits made using Skrill, Neteller, EcoPayz and MuchBetter will exempt you from claiming the bonus. Therefore if you want fast deposits and withdrawals as well as your welcome bonus, then we recommend using PayPal for all of your deposits and withdrawals. It’s fast, safe, private and bonus ready!

Our STSBet Review of their customer service channels found some positives and negatives of their support agent services. STSBet customer support agents can be contacted 24/7 in both English and Polish via their Live Chat service, however, there is no phone line. For more long-winded or serious enquiries you can contact them via email, the response times are substantially slower – especially on weekends.

The Live Chat service is definitely up to a decent standard and we found response times to be quick and efficient. Before using the live chat, we would recommend using the FAQs and other provided guides which are extremely helpful. This is especially true when it comes to payment methods, as a short paragraph is provided for each payment method explaining the deposit and withdrawal processes. The downside is that, as there is no VIP programme, there’s no official special service for special customers or high stakes punters. All in all, our STSBet rating is decent here, but they could perhaps introduce a phone line and go the extra mile to get themselves up the standards found in our Bet365 review.

The time has now come for us to answer that all-important question, is STSBet legit & secure?

After all, we asked ‘Is Betway safe?’, so we have to ask the same question of every other bookmaker out there too. Fortunately, we’re able to inform you that it definitely is. Based in Malta, STSBet is licensed and regulated in the UK via the United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC). As well as being our homegrown regulator here in Old Blighty, the UKGC is one of the most highly regarded gambling licenses in the world. Additionally, STSBet is also regulated by eCOGRA, the London based testing and regulation agency for online games and player protection. STSBet has been audited every year since 2013 to ensure they are compliant with the rules in the relevant sections of ISO/IEC.

When it comes to high profile affiliation, STSBet is the official sponsor of the Polish national football team and is the betting partner of multiple top tier Polish football clubs, including Lech Poznan. They are committed to the protection of minors and are partners with GAMStop and GambeAware.co.uk to assist problem gamblers using their site.

We touched on it earlier, but there is no strict STSBet VIP programme to speak of here, unfortunately. Now, you might think that this would lead to a lower STSBet rating here, but that’s not necessarily the case. Why, you ask? Allow us to explain…

While STSBet doesn’t have any form of tiered VIP system, like the one found in our Betway review, they do have plenty of continuous offers to keep their punters happy. With STSBet, you’ll find a steady amount of weekly bonuses are rolled out throughout the year, depending what sporting events, leagues and competitions are on at the time. For example, at the time of writing there’s a £30 welcome bonus for all new bettors. Additionally, you’ll also find plenty of rolling bonuses in the STSBet casino that are just as good as the BetVictor promotion code deal. As we mentioned in the bonus section above, they do fall a bit short here due to the lack of horse racing.
