Verdict. Bwin is the football specialist of the big European books: broad markets, local licences, sensible payments. It is not the sharpest or the prettiest, but it works in more countries than most.
What we liked
- Football depth: every league, every market, strong on Germany, Italy and Spain
- Local licences across Europe
- Protektor and edit-bet features for accumulators
- Reliable payments in our test
What we did not like
- A dated interface
- Margins on smaller sports are wide
- Promotions have thinned since the Entain merger
