Betting markets
Happybet Sports is already a solid bookmaker in the Peninsula, with Italians ranking it high on their preference list. Not surprisingly, they are striving to provide these loyal customers with all the betting options they need so they won’t look elsewhere for betting alternatives. Obviously, Italian competitions in general and football in particular are the ones that interest them most and all the leagues are covered, ranging from Serie A to local divisions.
It is hard to come up with another bookmaker that has a better selection of sports betting than these guys, especially when it comes to teams competing in the inferior leagues. The odds are comparable to the ones offered to Serie A and whenever major Italian teams competing Europe, the number of markets increases radically. It is possible to bet on more than 100 markets on such games and given the resurgence of Italian football on a continental scale, such opportunities appear quite often.
Italian basketball is also pretty competitive in Europe, but unlike soccer, this sport doesn’t provide punters with so many options. On the upside, players can use the spreads to increase the odds or mitigate the risks, in a similar manner to using Asian handicaps. The latter are a recent addition to the company and they can be relied upon when betting on all football games, ice hockey but also less popular sports.
Rugby is another game that is better covered here than on average, once again because Italians have a pretty strong national team. Whenever major competitions, such as the World Cup approach, Happybet Sports unveils new promotions and there are as many of them dedicated to rugby as to football or basketball. Another thing that makes this sport special is that it offers the most competitive odds, with a bookmaker margin of less than 4%.
To put things into perspective, it is worth mentioning that when betting on football, players should expect margins ranging from 4.8% to 5.1%, with the latter being the industry average. North American sports are also very profitable, yet they are underrepresented and Happybet Sports doesn’t cover college sports at all. Betting on the major teams had the advantage of providing players with the means to make an informed decision, because the bookmaker presents them with statistics, charts and performance tables.
The website is relatively simple and due to the fact that they don’t offer casino games and poker, Happybet Sports didn’t have to make any adjustments since opening shop. The only changes revolve around the improvement of the betting slip and live wagering module, with the latter now displaying the latest events that occur during the match. It is only a pale consolation for not having live streaming, yet very few bookmakers do and virtually none of their Italian peers.
Casino games
As mentioned above, Happybet doesn’t try too hard to provide alternatives to their punters and simply hope that they will keep them hooked with sports betting. As a result, there are no casino games to enjoy and no poker room either, which is an interesting choice given the fact that most online gambling operators try to offer a comprehensive service.
Slot machines and video poker are the ones that punters frequently explore when they seek a welcome distraction and unfortunately none of these games are available. The gaming platform can support such an expansion, as players can already bet on a broad spectrum of devices, without the need of downloading third-party apps or the games themselves.
Contact methods
The website is available primarily in Italian but it is also translated in English and several other languages, with customer support being bilingual.
The only way of interacting with a specialist and asking for help directly is by writing an email, with the team working round-the-clock to keep players satisfied. When time is not of the essence or when the questions would benefit from the intervention of additional users, Facebook, Twitter and Google + are all worthy alternatives.
