BetNow is one of the newest additions to the online sportsbetting and casino world. The developers of the site decided to bring a new site to the table, one that incorporated all possible bets in the world of sports and horse racing to give bettors what they had been missing.
The online casino seems to be a secondary thought, as the sportsbook is the main attraction at BetNow. The casino does have a good variety of games, from slots to table games, and the live dealer casino games are the clear highlight and main draw for gamblers. Its offerings are solid, but it is clearly a side note to the sports betting and horse racing sections of the site.
BetNow does focus on the important things for players, such as customer service on a 24/7 basis and an easily navigable website. The platform is smooth and utilizes software by Amigotechs and ViG to offer a wide array of sportsbook and casino options, all on a site that requires no download to play. This makes it very player-friendly for Mac users as well as those with PCs. The mobile version is very good as well, with everything available for smartphones and tablets, including the live dealer games.
The casino and sportsbook are licensed and authorized for operation by the government of Curacao. That verification is displayed on the home page of BetNow and can be found through the Curacao database. The site’s master license of gaming as a service provider is verification that the operator passed all compliance tests and audits, to which it regularly submits to reviews in order to maintain that good standing. This also certifies that BetNow is secure for all players, having implemented full SSL encryption and passed all random number generator tests. The site also acquired an Elite-Plus certification from OSGA, the Off Shore Gaming Association.
Sportsbook Details
The highlight of BetNow, the sportsbook offers wagering on every major sporting event in the world. From football to women’s basketball, from arena football to mixed martial arts, and from the Tour de France to the World Cup, all types of bets are available with good lines and player-friendly betting options. It also boasts of some of the highest parlay and teaser payouts in the sportsbetting industry.
The live betting feature allows bettors to wager on every facet of the games they watch, with winnings paid and accounts credited in real time. The fun of betting is taken to a new level with spreads and totals adjusted throughout the game.
BetNow’s racebook is also top notch, complete with track odds on all types of horse racing, including harness races, and dog racing. Even UK tracks are included to expand the betting opportunities for horse racing fans.
One of the best features of the site is the news, complete with odds and betting advice, for horse racing and many sporting events and games.
Casino Details
The online casino at BetNow uses two different casino platforms, one for the majority of the games and the other for the live dealer casino games. The latter allows players to feel as if they’re in a casino without leaving the comforts of home, and they can interact with the dealers in friendly conversation and even asking questions about the games. With 24/7 access to live dealers, players can get their fill of blackjack, baccarat, and roulette.
The slot game selection has a bit to be desired, but there are several progressive jackpot games that make up for that variety. Knights & Dragons, Venice Carnival, Deep Space, Lost in the Pyramid, and Rock & Roll all offer jackpots that entice players to the games.
There is quite the variety of video poker and keno, as well as traditional table games. And in the latter category, some very popular games like Sic-Bo, War, and Three-Card poker are included.

Final Thoughts
BetNow is a relatively new site and must make some improvements in order to draw more players to its space. With so much competition in online gaming, transparency is important. For example, there must be more information about the bonuses and promotions, and there should be an FAQ section to answer some customer questions. There also needs to be more payment processing options.
The sportsbook is quite impressive, though. The number of sports open for betting, the live betting functions, and the racebook all provide a great alternative for bettors seeking a new online home.
