Pre-match Offer 5/5

• 27 sports available to bet on
• Sufficient esports and specials coverage
• Competitive and consistent odds

27 sports make up Parimatch’s sportsbook, with array of markets and sub-markets can be accessed for each. Furthermore, the bookmaker offers Bet Boosts on popular events, which are typically very generous, too.

Overall, their sports coverage is great, but their impressive work in this regard would count for very little if their odds lacked value.

Thus, to measure the quality of Parimatch’s margins, we used the odds overround calculation. This is a percentage figure which is obtained when all the probabilities of an outcome of a bet are added together. Logically, this figure should add up to 100%; however, this does not take into consideration the profit made by the bookie. For this reason, it is commonly accepted that an odds overround of less than 110% indicates good odds.

To carry out our little experiment, we picked three random football matches from the Premier League, Copa del Rey, and Coppa Italia. The results came to 107.08%, 105.90%, and 106.76% respectively, indicating that Parimatch’s odds are both consistent and competitive.

You can display odds as decimals, fractions or in a variety of styles from across the globe including European, Indonesian and Chinese. The minimum stake is set at 5p, while the maximum is currently unknown.

Placing a Bet

We wanted to place a bet but opted to switch it up on this occasion. Instead of placing a football bet, we decided to take advantage of Parimatch’s well-advertised NFL offering and back the Cincinnati Bengals to beat a Lamar Jackson-less Baltimore Ravens.

Coverage of the NFL playoffs consumed the homepage on the day of placing the bet, which meant the above odds were staring at us throughout.

First, we switched the market to moneyline and clicked on odds of 1/4, which indicate a Bengals victory in regulation. This bet immediately went into our bet slip located on the right-hand side.

To conclude the simple betting process, we entered our stake (£10) and clicked the green ‘Place Bet’ icon below.

Once that was clicked, our bet was processed.

Then, in a matter of seconds, our bet was placed successfully.

Esports

Parimatch’s esports coverage is very impressive. At the time of writing, there were Counter-Strike, League of Legends, NBA, Starcraft II, and Dota 2 events available to bet on.

Esports punters can place in-play bets, while the bookie also presents several ‘Trending Bets’.

Parimatch – Other Specials

There are various entertainment markets for punters to take advantage of. You can bet on Eurovision 2023, the Oscars, Love Island, and Dancing on Ice with this bookmaker.

Parimatch’s political coverage spans across the UK and US, with their current markets including the 2024 US Presidential Election and the next UK Conservative and Labour party leaders.

Cash Out & Bet Builder

You’re able to take full control of your bets with Parimatch’s Cash Out and Partial Cash Out features.

Parimatch offers an atypical Bet Builder in the form of Bet Builder MultiMatch. This enables punters to bet on several games – in one selection – within a group of fixtures (League Two’s midweek fixtures in the example above). Plenty of options and different markets are available, handing punters some control. It’s a wonderfully convenient feature, overall.

The bookie also boasts your more archetypal bet builder in which customers can create their own football and basketball bets. You’re also able to add multiple bet builders to create an acca.

Security 5/5

• Licensed by the UK Gambling Commission
• Several account limits
• Responsible gambling section

Parimatch’s site is operated by BetVictor, meaning the bookie holds licences from the UK Gambling Commission, the Irish Revenue Commission and the Government of Gibraltar.

There’s also a strong emphasis on responsible gambling – or ‘Safer Gambling’ as it’s labelled on the site. Punters can set several controls to ensure their gambling doesn’t spiral out of control. These include Deposit Limits, Time Alerts, Time Outs, Product Restrictions, Problem Checklists (see below), and Self-Exclusions.

To complement these, there are also dedicated pages on the site that focus on preventing underage gambling. Links and websites are also supplied for customers who feel to require further support in this regard.

The type of encryption used by the site is unknown. Having said that, Parimatch does state that “fully encrypted data transfer and multiple redundant servers ensure all customer funds and personal details are stringently protected”.

Design & Usability 4.5/5

• Great website design
• Odd technical fault
• Frequently updated blog

Parimatch’s website design is simple but slick. A sharply contrasting black-and-yellow colour scheme is followed throughout, with these two colours working well in harmony. Overall, the design gives off a very sophisticated feel, but we did endure one or two technical issues with lag time a problem on occasion.

For the most part, though, our experience using Parimatch’s website was fine. The site’s structure is coherent, and promotions are well-advertised. There are no gimmicks, providing further evidence of the bookmaker’s sophistication.

Various tabs and an A-Z list of the bookie’s sportsbook can be found down the left-hand side of the homepage, while advertisements and the most popular betting markets dominate the centre. Bet Boosts as well as in-play markets can be found here, too.

A ubiquitous bet slip is located on the right-hand side, aiding the betting process, while all the information regarding Parimatch is found at the bottom of the homepage.

Unfortunately, there are no statistics, but Parimatch does boast a blog which is regularly updated. Here, the bookie posts a variety of pieces ranging from betting tips to informative articles.

Other Products

Parimatch’s casino product is so extensive that they even boast a menu for all the various options the bookie offers. Vegas, Megaways, Drops & Wins, Jackpots, and scratchcards are among the tabs shown on the drop-down list.

This bookmaker clearly takes their casino offering seriously, and customers will not be disappointed by the vast array of games availlable. There’s plenty to get stuck into, including the welcome offer which we described above.
