BetNow Promo Code

BetNow.eu is a sportsbook and casino that offers welcome promo codes and lifetime reload bonuses with super low wagering requirements.  They hold weekly contests for major US sports and hold special events throughout the year.  This review is focused on the sportsbook.

BetNow.eu Sportsbook Overview

New Account Registration at BetNow.eu Sportsbook

New account registration at BetNow.eu is a simple, one-page process, which is nice and efficient compared to Casinos that use a multiple-page registration process.

As you can see in the screenshot above, you need to make sure you use your actual billing address for your BetNow account address.  This will make for smooth deposits and withdrawals from your account since you’ll be submitting your photo ID before you’re able to deposit and withdraw money from your BetNow account.

Make note of the How did you hear about us? field.  If you refer friends to BetNow, they’ll need to check the friend box and enter your name or your account number into that field.  If your friend makes a deposit you’ll earn a bonus.  I’ll cover the details of this bonus later.

Within minutes of completing my registration I received both a phone call and text message from BetNow, so they’re definitely serious about the information you provide.

Redeeming Bonuses

All bonus codes are entered at the deposit screens at BetNow.eu.  Whether it’s a credit card deposit, a Bitcoin deposit or a Money Gram deposit there are Promo Code fields on each of the deposit pages for you to use to enter the bonus code you want to use:

Wagering Requirements

Wagering requirements are online sportsbooks’ way of making sure the bonuses they provide to players are used in the sportsbook and not immediately withdrawn as free money.  All sportsbooks have them, but some are not as transparent about how to calculate a bonus code’s wagering requirements.  Calculating bonus code wagering requirements at BetNow is pretty simple because all of the bonus codes at BetNow.eu are deposit bonuses so the wagering requirement for all bonuses include the deposit amount and the bonus amount.    A nice touch that BetNow provides is examples for each of their bonuses that details the wagering requirements for each promo code.  Here is the Lifetime VIP Program bonus details:

As you can see, BetNow refers to wagering requirements as rollover.  Wagering requirements are sometimes expressed as a dollar amount or as a multiplier factor.  BetNow gives you wagering requirements in the form of a multiplier.  You can then use that to calculate the amount that must be wagered.  If you deposit $500 and receive a 10% bonus of $15, you must add the two together to calculate your wagering requirement.  Some sites will abbreviate this as D&B, short for Deposit and Bonus.  The D&B amount is then multiplied by the wagering requirement multiplier of 3x.  The wagering requirement of 3x for the 15% VIP deposit looks like this:

Not every sportsbook or casino provides clear examples on wagering requirements so these examples are nice to see.

BetNow.eu Welcome Bonus Code: USAPROMO

USAPROMO is a welcome bonus code that gets you a extra bonus in the amount of 50% of your deposit.  It has a max bonus level of $1000 and 8x wagering requirement if used in the sportsbook and 30x if played in the casino.

BetNow.eu Welcome Bonus: Refer a Friend Bonus

If you refer a friend to BetNow.eu and that friend makes a deposit, you will receive a referral bonus!  The bonus amount will be 10% of your friend’s deposit.  You must have an active account with a balance matching or larger than the referral bonus in order to be eligible for the referral bonus.  The max bonus amount you can receive is $100.  The wagering requirement is 3x if played in the sportsbook, 15x in the casino.

BetNow.eu Bonus: Lifetime VIP Program

Deposit $500+ and receive a 10% bonus.  Deposit $2000+ and get a 15% bonus.  Valid on all new deposits with no limit on the number of times it can be redeemed, which is good for a lifetime VIP promotion!  All VIP bonuses have a wagering requirement of 3x.  I like the low wagering requirement here and definitely appreciate the lifetime bonus status.  Too often it seems casinos and sportsbooks change the bonuses for reloading so knowing the bonus level I’ll get each time is a refreshing change.

Weekly Contests

BetNow offers weekly and monthly games as a different way to get players into the action.  I’ll go over some of the interesting contests here.

During the NBA season they have a Weekly NBA Contest where players must choose straight up winners from 14 NBA games with a grand prize of $10,000.  If you pick all of the games plus tiebreaker perfectly you get $10,000, otherwise you get a point awarded for each winning pick.  The person(s) with the most points at the end of the week will win or share $10,000.  No entry fee required for players with active accounts.

What March would be complete without a tournament bracket contest?  Pick your winners and win $1,000,000 if you can nail all winning teams including a tiebreaker game. No entry fee required to play for active players.  It’s like the office picks pool but on steroids!  No entry fee required for players with active BetNow accounts.

Pick the most winners over the course of a regular NFL season and win $10,000.  If you pick all winners in one NFL week including the tiebreaker game you also win $10,000.   BetNow maintains a leaderboard so you can keep track of your place in the standings!  No entry fee for active BetNow players.

If baseball’s your thing then try your hand at picking the straight up winners from 28 + tiebreaker MLB games during each week in the MLB regular season to win $5,000. If nobody picks all the games then each pick gets a point and prizes go to the players with the top 5 scores each week.

Placing Bets at BetNow.eu

BetNow offers traditional betting lines, in-play betting and build-your-own props betting on a wide variety of sporting events.  You can even bet on eSports.

Looking at Basketball alone you can see there’s a ton of leagues to choose from:

If you’re not familiar with placing sports bets BetNow takes you the process step-by-step:

Step 1 is to choose your sporting event.  I chose NCAA Men’s hoops.

Step 2 is choosing your bet and adding the pick to your ticket.  Note that betting both sides of a game is considered cheating and will disqualify you from your bonuses and promotions.  From there you add your pick to your ticket.

From there you click on Add Picks to Ticket and your pick will be displayed on your ticket on the right side of the screen.  Enter the amount you wish to wager then click save.

Depositing Money

BetNow.eu accepts Visa, MasterCard and American Express credit cards, Visa & MasterCard prepaid cards, Bitcoin and Money Gram money transfers.  Credit card deposits are the most common but note that if you’re from the US you’ll likely have to let your card issuer know that you’ll be making international purchases using your credit card.  You’ll then be able to successfully complete your credit card deposit almost instantly.

Regardless of the deposit method you prefer you’ll have to verify your identity before you’re able to complete your transaction.  The requirements for this are in the terms and conditions:

BetNow doesn’t provide great instructions on where or how to upload these pics but you can find the link in the MY ACCOUNT menu at the top menu bar:

No instructions are provided on where to send the pictures of your credit/debit card, but I learned that you can send them to [email protected].

Depositing via Bitcoin is similarly easy.  On the BitCoin deposit screen you enter the amount you wish to deposit, your first and last name and the promo code you wish you redeem.  You can see that the Promo Code field isn’t wide enough to display the USAPROMO code I entered but the full code is entered and ready to redeem.

When you click Submit you will be taken to the Details page where you’ll be prompted to either copy/paste or scan the Bitcoin address with your eWallet software to transfer the Bitcoin to BetNow.eu.

Making a deposit using Money Gram is a two-step process.  In Step 1 you’ll generate a Trace ID# from BetNow.eu and and a Control#/MTCN from Money Gram.  Clicking Submit will take you to Step 2.

Step 2 generates and provides the instructions you need to complete the transfer using Money Gram.  The instructions are clear and concise.  Side note, despite being regiistered in Curacao you can see that you’ll be sending your money to an individual in Costa Rica.

Withdrawing Money

Direct Deposit / EFT requires account validation.  All you need to do is submit proof of identity in the form of copies of your photo ID, which you likely completed before depositing money.  BetNow.eu can transfer your money to you via Bitcoin, Cash App, EFT, Money Gram, Wire Transfer or bank check.

Withdrawal requests are processed in one business day but must be submitted between Monday at 8 AM to Friday 3pm EST.  The processing time is faster than some casinos that require 48 hours to process withdrawal requests.  BetNow.eu does charge fees to cash out with the exception of the cryptocurrency methods:  Bitcoin and Cash App, so these are probably the preferred methods to use if you want to maximize your cash out payment.

Mobile Gaming

BetNow.eu offers mobile betting via all mobile browsers on both Android and iOS mobile platforms.  I was able to load BetNow’s mobile site using Chrome and Firefox on my Android phone:

Usability

As I navigated through BetNow.eu I noticed that I was being logged out as I clicked on the Promotions page and went to the Deposit page.

This was very consistent and a bit of an annoyance because I like to be able to seamlessly navigate between public pages and player pages.  I had to log in every time I wanted to check out the promotions.  Fortunately I use LastPass to autofill my login screens but this still created extra steps for me to check out the site, which was pretty annoying:

Also, there isn’t a link to the terms and conditions unless you navigate to view the Promotions page.  This means you get logged out and you have to log in again to get back to the sportsbook lobby.

Customer Service

I reached out to BetNow Customer Service via Live Chat because I wanted to know if the bonuses that BetNow provides are cashable.

Christopher, the customer service agent I chatted with, asked for my account number and password to confirm my account information and he did not pressure me to make any deposits.  It seemed he was initially unfamiliar with the term sticky but after explaining the question he said that bonuses at BetNow are cashable.  Overall it was a nice, simple experience.

Final Thoughts

Overall my experience at BetNow was a good one.  There were some annoyances with site navigation and UI but that might just be me.  The range and variety of the sporting events you can bet on more than makes up for these minor issues.  I liked the low wagering requirements for all of the promo codes and the free entry for the weekly contests is enticing and sounds fun.
