Horseplay betting review

So the thing you’ve probably noticed is that while there are a decent number of promos they all only award Freeplay credits for the games. So then why have I listed them all here? To put it simply most of them still require you to place bets by purchasing credits. The weekend weekly and leaderboard promos all require you to place bets through the purchases to become eligible for them tying the horse betting and the casino together neatly. I personally would have liked more betting-oriented promos such as maybe placing purchases with boosted odds of winning. Still what’s here works well in combining the sports and gaming into a cohesive package.

There are five payment methods at Horseplay casino: VISA Mastercard Discover Diners Club and bank transfer. Only bank transfers can be used for withdrawals.

The minimum you can purchase is $10 while the maximum is $250. The minimum you can withdraw is $1; unfortunately there’s no information on the maximum.

Purchases of chips are instant. Withdrawals can take up to five days or even longer if it is your first time and verification needs to be done.

Horseplay uses 256-bit SSL encryption with RSA technology to keep your private information safe. There’s also two-factor authentication (TFA) included to add an extra layer of security.

Horseplay has a “bSafe” responsible gaming (RG) program that can be accessed from the footer of the site. The page has several links to helpful organizations as well as tools for self-exclusion cooling-off periods and deposit limits.

Any new thing is going to require wading through uncharted territory and it’s something you’re going to need to get comfortable with if you want to bet at Horseplay.The novelty of the site puts into question how it’s all being regulated. The site is powered by Game Play Network (GPN) and has a master license in Oregon which allows GPN to operate in all states that don’t have their own licensing requirements but allow online pari-mutuel betting.Horseplay is only legal in 18 states while sites like BetMGM are legal in 24 states. It’s unclear to what extent these 18 states are actually regulating Horseplay if at all. Still your private data will at least be secure on the site with the SSL encryption and TFA working hard to make sure your information doesn’t get stolen.

I like Horseplay’s support team even if I don’t have many ways to contact them. They’re a friendly bunch who can answer clearly if not quickly. The FAQ is also quite detailed and neatly split into appropriate sections. There are some outdated entries from when the site was still the bSpot betting site but otherwise the information that’s available is relatively easy to find.All Horseplay needs to do is add in phone support or maybe a live chat option and they’ll have a solid support section on their hands.

Since Horseplay never reveals what particular bets it’s placing the odds of the bets succeeding are never revealed to the bettor. It is also never mentioned if Horseplay uses pre-game bets live bets or if it makes use of any odds boosts or parlays boosts.

When we tested the games ourselves we found that the games do pay out. Positive reviews on Trustpilot and the iOS store also show that Horseplay does pay out fairly.

I’m sure I sound like a broken record at this point so I’ll keep this section brief.It all boils down to the same problem — lack of choice combined with a lack of data given means you have no information on the odds or a possible way of choosing them. The good news is Horseplay does pay out and the reviews back this up. So while there could be more odds transparency they’re not running off with your money either. If your experience says otherwise though let us know in the user reviews below.

Horseplay forgoes many traditional betting features to instead implement its own betting model.

You can’t get early cash out on any of the horse bets nor are any horse races streamed live. There is no data live or otherwise on any of the horse races that are bet on.

Another odd little section Horseplay has none of the traditional features of a traditional sportsbook. Some of these I understand but there are others that I feel could have been implemented. For example having a bet builder doesn’t make sense since you’re not building any bets so that one gets a pass. However it would have been nice to have live streams of the horse races available or maybe even ask for Horseplay to cash out their bets early. Still the reveal winnings feature is not only innovative but quite fun and is a large point in Horseplay’s favor.

I can confidently say that I’ve never reviewed a sportsbook that only had one sport available and still gave it an above-average score. If you’re confused about how exactly that works allow me to explain.To put it simply it all depends on how much you buy into Horseplay’s model. As far as innovative systems go it works and it works well — for some people that might be enough.For myself I think while it does work there is a bit more that can be improved upon. If Horseplay has to place the bets itself at the very least give me all the information on what horse is being bet on. If you’re betting on Razzmatazz the Irish bay filly to win I’d like to know about it so I can follow the race.In short while I get Horseplay’s model requires them to place the bets themselves it would be nice if they were a bit more transparent with the particular bets placed. Also maybe a couple more sports wouldn’t hurt just saying.
