Open SBOBET Through a Betting Broker: The Three Routes

The three brokers that open the betting site, and what SBOBET says about its sports, countries, limits and verification.

Looking for a SBOBET broker? SBOBET is a bookmaker with its own sign-up, and our register lists three of the four brokers as routes to it: BetInAsia through BLACK, MadMarket through Edge and Sportmarket, in that order. BetInAsia's product page says BetInAsia is an agent of SBOBET, and MadMarket's says it offers SBOBET to players "as an agent for SBOBet without fees or commission". Below: what SBOBET offers, where it does not accept bets, and what its help centre and terms say about limits and verification.

The three brokers that open SBOBET

What SBOBET is

SBOBET is a bookmaker, not a broker. It takes bets under its own name, runs its own sign-up and publishes its own help centre, and the brokers on this page are routes to that same betting site. Its terms name Entrope S.R.L., a company incorporated in Costa Rica, as the licensed operator, and say it is licensed and regulated under the Tobique Gaming Act 2023 by the Tobique Gaming Commission.

That help centre and its terms are our source for everything below. The help centre sorts the betting site into Sports, Virtual Sports, Games, Live Casino and Racing, with two betting interfaces called the Asian Interface and the European Interface.

SBOBET sports, markets and odds formats

What does the betting site take bets on? SBOBET's help centre article on sports events lists 43, in its own order:

American Football, Archery, Athletics, Badminton, Baseball, Basketball, Beach Soccer, Boxing, Canoe/Kayak, Cricket, Cycling, Darts, Diving, Equestrian, Fencing, Field Hockey, Football, Futsal, Golf, Gymnastics, Handball, Ice Hockey, Judo, Mixed Martial Arts, Modern Pentathlon, Motor Sport, Pool/Snooker, Rowing, Rugby, Sailing, Shooting, Squash, Swimming, Synchronized Swimming, Table Tennis, Taekwondo, Tennis, Triathlon, Volleyball, Water Polo, Weightlifting, Winter Sports, Wrestling.

Football, futsal and beach soccer have separate entries (as do field hockey and ice hockey), and the same article adds that not every event is open for betting at every moment. Its article on basic markets names 19:

1X2, Asian Handicap, Asian 1X2, Correct Score, Double Chance, First To Start, First Goal/Last Goal, First Half 1X2, First Half Handicap, First Half Odd/Even, First Half Over/Under, Half Time/Full Time, Mix Parlay, Money Line/Head To Head, Odd/Even, Outright, Over/Under, Period Betting, Total Goal.

The article on odds types describes European, Hong Kong, Malay and Indo odds, and the Sports Betting Rules also list Myanmar odds. The display setting covers Handicap, Odd/Even and Over/Under only; every other market shows Euro odds.

Asian Handicap, as the help centre describes it, evens up unequal sides with a handicap in goals or points before kick-off: a deficit for the favourite, a head start for the underdog. The help centre adds that Asian 1X2 neutralises goals scored before your ticket is confirmed, while European 1X2 settles on the final result alone, and it names three features on top of the basic markets:

A handicap is the small weight that levels the balance between unequal sides.

Mix Parlay

Combines selections from different events in one bet, with a minimum of 3 selections.

Combo parlay

Builds several combinations from 3 to 8 events picked on the Mix Parlay page, from Doubles up to 8-Folds.

Cash Out

Settles a bet before the result is known, on chosen events and markets only.

Where SBOBET does not accept bets

Clause 3.4 of SBOBET's terms says the operator does not accept bets originating from the jurisdictions below, and the customer warrants that they are not resident in them and will not use the service while in them. Clauses 3.2 and 12.1 add a citizenship test for states that bar their citizens from gambling.

The list in SBOBET's terms, clause 3.4

Afghanistan, American Samoa, Australia, Belarus, Belgium, Canadian Province of New Brunswick, Cuba, Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Denmark, France, French Guiana, French Polynesia, French Southern Territories, Germany, Greece, Guadeloupe, Guam, Haiti, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iran, Iraq, Liberia, Libya, Lithuania, Malta, Martinique, Mayotte, Myanmar, Netherlands, Netherlands Antilles, North Korea, Northern Mariana Islands, People's Republic of China, Philippines, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Reunion, Russia, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Serbia, Singapore, Somalia, Spain, Sudan, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkiye, United Kingdom, United States minor outlying islands, USA and Virgin Islands, U.S., Venezuela, Yemen

That list belongs to SBOBET. The broker you choose applies its own, and the two we have mapped are on BetInAsia restricted countries and Sportmarket restricted countries.

SBOBET limits, stakes and account terms

Stakes first. According to the help centre, the minimum and maximum for each event sit at the bottom of the bet ticket. The figure changes from one bet to the next. The terms say the amount of any bet will be "as indicated on the Internet Betting Service". The help centre adds that, once you enter a stake, the ticket shows a Maximum Payout line. So the limit is read on the ticket, bet by bet.

SBOBET's help centre says "Winners are welcomed here". Its terms (clause 7.12) also let it suspend a market, refuse a bet or part of a bet, and suspend or close an account at any time, without giving a reason or notice, and they provide for limits on winnings per event or sport, per 24 hours or per week, which can differ from one customer to the next.

For play directly at SBOBET, the help centre says "arbitrage betting is deemed a breach of our Terms and Conditions", and the terms set one account per customer.

Deposits, withdrawals and verification at SBOBET

The help centre describes registration on SBOBET's own site in four steps:

  1. Press Join Now FREE and choose a language.
  2. Step 1: choose a username and password.
  3. Step 2: enter your personal details and contact preference, and tick the box confirming you have read the Terms and Conditions, the Sports Betting Rules and the Promotion Terms and Conditions.
  4. Press Register Account, note the Registration Reference ID and activate the account before your first login.

According to the help centre, deposit methods depend on the currency of the account and the country of residence, and it does not print the full list. SBOBET's terms say withdrawals go back by the method used for the deposit, and the help centre allows one request per 24-hour period unless the earlier one is cancelled or rejected.

Under clause 5.7, SBOBET asks for a valid photo ID and a proof of address less than 90 days old (a bank statement or a utility bill, for instance) at the first deposit or withdrawal above €3,000, or when the previous 30 days add up to more than that.

Through a broker, you deposit and withdraw with the broker; its figures and methods for that route sit on the broker pages above.

SBOBET app and mobile betting

SBOBET's help centre describes three ways to bet from a phone:

SBO App

For Android 7.1 or higher and iOS 12.0 or higher. Install it on several devices, with one device signed in to an account at a time. Languages: English, Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese, Burmese, Bengali, Korean, Khmer, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese.

SBOBET Mobile Web

Opens in a smartphone browser with your SBOBET account: view events, bet, check your balance and statement. Languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Indonesian, Vietnamese and Thai.

WAP mobile service

Uses the same login as the website and is free for members apart from your mobile operator's data charges. Same six languages as Mobile Web.

These belong to SBOBET's own accounts. The broker route runs through BLACK, Edge or Sportmarket.

Verdict: choosing your route to SBOBET

On SBOBET itself we stay neutral.

On the brokers we are not neutral. We think the broker is the real decision, because the middleman outlasts any single betting site: BetInAsia opens 15 betting sites in the register, MadMarket 14 and Sportmarket 12, and SBOBET is one row of each list. Pick the one whose wider list matches the betting sites you want after it.

Next step

Open the broker whose list you want and follow its steps for SBOBET, or compare all bet brokers side by side.
