National Bet Sister Sites 2024

Royal Fortune

There’s some debate about whether Royal Fortune should be classed as one of the National Bet sister sites at all. In the footer of its website, Royal Fortune claims to be operated by Easymarketing N.V. in Curacao – a casino network company that’s changed its name in recent times. National Bet, on the other hand, claims to be operated by SML SaveOperations Ltd of Cyprus. However, SML SaveOperations Ltd exists only to serve as a payment agent for Easymarketing N.V., so we’re happy to make the association between the casinos. As a casino that was designed specifically for ease of use,  everything at Royal Fortune is very easy to find. The quality of its portfolio is good, and the terms and conditions are fair. The lack of proper licensing is a huge issue, though, and the casino could be a lot clearer about its deposit and withdrawal processes.

LuckyAce Casino

LuckyAce Casino looks a lot like Royal Fortune, so it’s a lot easier to connect those two iGaming sites than it is to connect LuckyAce and National Bet. However, our reasoning here is the same as it was with Royal Fortune – SML SaveOperations Ltd of Cyprus is involved in the running of all three casinos, so LuckyAce Casino has to be one of the National Bet sister sites. What’s available at LuckyAce Casino is almost a like-for-like match with what’s available at Royal Fortune, so you’re not going to find much variety here if you’ve already played at Royal Fortune. The casinos even share the same problems, like the lack of any licences or a page that provides information about banking and withdrawal processing. LuckyAce is actually the worst of the casinos out of the three when it comes to licensing as it claims to hold a licence that it does not, in fact, hold.

National Bet Review 2024

You’re not alone if you think “National Bet” is an odd name for an online casino. Which nation? What bet? Are we talking about the Grand National here? It’s a vague, generic-sounding name for a fairly generic-looking online casino, yet this is a site that launched in 2024 onto the same platform as LuckyAce Casino and Royal Fortune, both of which have been big hits with players on the international scene. Is there more to National Bet than first impressions might suggest? The only way to find out is to review it.

National Bet Welcome Offers

Sports betting is a huge part of National Bet’s identity, but sports bettors don’t get the better of the two welcome bonuses that the casino offers. That honour goes to players who want to use the casino at National Bet. The offer on the table is up to £1500 in bonus funds, awarded as a 200% match up to £500 on deposit one, 100% up to £500 on deposit two, and 150% up to £500 again on deposit three. The first deposit also comes with two hundred bonus spins on the casino’s most popular slots game. Both the bonus pot and the free spins winnings are subject to x35 playthrough requirement, and a minimum deposit of £20 is required to trigger each stage of the bonus.

For sports bettors, National Bet will cough up a one-off 100% matched first deposit worth up to £500. That’s a lot of money by the standards of your average sports betting bonus, but the wagering requirements are equally steep. They’re set at x10, which is very high for a sports wagering bonus and takes a little bit of the joy out of the whole thing.

If you’re using crypto – which the casino would love you to do, by the way – you can claim an improved 300% matched deposit worth up to £1000. The option is only available on first deposits, is subject to a minimum deposit of £50 (or crypto equivalent), and comes with the same x35 wagering requirement as the general welcome bonus.

Ongoing Promotions

We’re so used to Curacao-based international casinos offering us massive VIP programs and bonuses that we’re a bit shocked to find that National Bet doesn’t have any such scheme. The ongoing promotions still shouldn’t be sniffed at, though – players can claim a 100% matched deposit worth up to £500 to use in the casino once per week (x35 wagering), and there’s also ten per cent cashback of up to £500 per week. The cashback is sticky, though – it comes with an x30 wagering requirement.

Surprisingly, there’s very little on offer to sports bettors other than the welcome bonus. As of the time of writing, the only other sports-focused bonus is a combo booster for pre-match betting. That’s a nice thing to have, but virtually every sports betting website and bookie worth its salt offers the same thing these days – it barely even counts as a feature anymore because we expect to see it.

What are the Pros and Cons of National Bet?

Pros: It’s obvious that National Bet has made liberal use of artificial intelligence to generate its graphics and its content, but it looks good. The terms and conditions of the site’s welcome and ongoing bonuses are fair enough so long as you’re sticking to the site’s casino games, and the quality of the portfolio available is impressive – especially for a casino that doesn’t have a licence.

Cons: Not having a licence is the biggest problem the casino has. It makes the site impossible to trust, and it leaves players with nowhere to turn in the event of a complaint. In terms of more specific issues, the bonuses for sports bettors aren’t great, and the fact that the casino can’t offer fast withdrawals means it’s uncompetitive with the best iGaming sites out there.

Top Games at National Bet

Whatever the biggest current ongoing thing in the world of sports will be the top attraction at the time of your visit to National Bet. We reviewed the casino while the US Open was happening in tennis, so we were offered odds on matches in that tournament before we were offered anything else. Players also have access to a live casino, general sports betting and virtual sports betting, but the “Top Games” advertised on the National Bet homepage are all slots – and very well-known ones at that.

It’s possible that National Bet will update its homepage periodically, but the first slots game in the row of Top Games at the time of our visit was Play’n Go’s Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead, which is as classic as classic gets. We could say similar things about Sweet Bonanza and Great Rhino, which both come from Pragmatic Play and occupy second and third place. Other selected highlights at National Bet include Book of Ra Deluxe by Novomatic, NetEnt’s Twin Spin Deluxe and the traditional All Ways Fruits by Amatic.

Withdrawal Processing and Support

We’d like more information in this category than National Bet is apparently prepared to give to us. In the footer of the National Bet website, you’ll find the logos of Mastercard, Visa, MiFinity, several cryptocurrencies, and bank transfers. As there isn’t a banking page at the casino, we’ll assume that all of those methods are approved for withdrawals. We had to read the full terms and conditions of National Bet to get an idea of withdrawal processing turnaround times, but they’re given as three days across the board. That means you won’t get instant withdrawals from here.

Customer Support and Licensing

Customer services aren’t provided over the phone, but you can get assistance by emailing [email protected] or using the live chat widget, which should be there 24-7. National Bet doesn‘t advertise that it has any iGaming licences, so we assume that it doesn’t have any. That actually makes it more honest than some of the National Bet sister sites, which have been known to feature the logos of regulatory bodies that they don’t hold licences with.

National Bet – The Verdict

National Bet is much plainer than either LuckyAce Casino or Royal Fortune, and the fact that its website doesn’t make any mention of Easymarketing N.V. might signify that the operator is trying to go in a new direction with its casinos. There are certainly online casinos out there on the international scene that are a lot worse than this, but our hands are tied by the licensing situation – so long as the casino continues to accept players from the UK without holding a UK Gambling Commission licence, we have to keep calling it out for acting illegally.
