GTBets Review 2019

“It’s Game Time” at GT Bets, the home page declares. You can feel the excitement of the big game. The website makes it very easy for first-time visitors to scroll through the platform and become a member.

There is a quick sign-up section, tabs for Sports, Casino, Horses, Cashier, Rewards, and Promotions, and the highlighted two deposit bonuses.

New members must be 18 years of age or older, and of legal age in your jurisdiction, to use this gaming platform. You must have funds in your account to place a wager.

To become a new member, simply click on the orange “Join Now” tab on the right side of the home page. Fill out the registration form and then make a deposit. Like most other online betting sites, only U.S. currency and cryptocurrencies are accepted.

GTBets does not accept registrations from the following U.S. states: Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, New York, Oregon, and Washington.

The online sportsbook also does not accept players from the United Kingdom and Italy.

If you like betting on sports along with a few other pleasant surprises, then GTBets is the place for you. The gaming site offers to match your entire first deposit up to $500 and then 50 per cent up to $250 on your second deposit. Now that’s a welcome bonus!

Even great bonuses from other great partners— which are available for a long time— aren’t equal to the offer at GTBets.

And, unlike offers most other sportsbooks promote, these cash bonuses can be used without restrictions on wager types or products. However, the 50-per-cent bonus will not be offered on your second deposit if you received a withdrawal after your initial deposit.

The minimum deposit to claim the first bonus is $35, the maximum is $500.

Also, there is a 12 times (12x) rollover requirement with this promotion before you can cash out your money earned using the free play.

A rollover requirement is the number of times that the player must risk their initial deposit before they can withdraw any winnings without being penalized.

The welcome bonus in this case is 100 per cent. Say, for example, a new player deposited $500, they would get a bonus of another $500. With the 12x rollover requirement, the player doesn’t necessarily have to place 12 $500 bets, but they will have to make enough wagers to eventually total 12 x $500 = $6,000 before they can request any winnings.

Bonuses must be claimed at the time of deposit and will not be issued retroactively. A maximum of two no-deposit bonuses can be received between deposits. It’s best to read all the terms and conditions before signing up for these promotions.

If new or existing members run into a problem or have a question, they can reach out to GTBets customer support in English or Spanish using one of the following options:

• Telephone: 1-800-509-4847
• Fax: 1-514-221-4567
• Live chat: For real money accounts only
• There are also various departments to email for support:
• Support — [email protected]
• Withdrawals — [email protected]
• Rewards — [email protected]
• New sign-ups — [email protected]

The customer service team is available every day of the week during office hours. The website does not offer a frequently asked questions category, but it does cover many issues through its terms and conditions page.

The GTBets website is very easy to navigate. Click on the “Sports” tab and a lengthy list of athletics is presented to viewers on the left side of the page with orange headings.

A few of these major sports can also be found above the betting lines panel in the middle of the page. A predominantly blue betting slip anchors the right side of the page, with a Live Casino icon below.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and a list of categories from betting rules to bonus terms makes it easy for members to learn the ropes of sports betting and find out what all these sports lines are all about.

The list of sports with betting lines starts with live now and live scheduled. It then lists other sports in alphabetical order, including American football, auto racing, baseball, basketball, boxing, Canadian football, eSports, handball, hockey, MMA, rugby, soccer, and tennis.

Leagues based in the U.S. are the main focus of the sportsbook, especially since almost 90 per cent of all its customers are Americans, but betting lines are offered on games and leagues from around the world.

The available bet types in the sportsbook are as follows: straight bets such as the money line, point spread, run line, puck line, over/under totals, prop bets, parlays and round-robins, teasers and pleasers, halftime betting, futures, live betting, and if bets.

The minimum wager is $1, while the max bets vary on the sport. They are $5,000 for the NFL and NBA, $3,000 for college football, college basketball and Major League Baseball, $2,000 for the NHL, and $500 for all other events.

Horse players can click on “Horses” and sort through all the available options, like a 15-per-cent rebate offer, supported tracks on GTBets, a wagering guide, and virtual horse racing.

Members will find they can bet on American thoroughbred racing, harness racing, quarter horse racing, and greyhound racing, Canadian thoroughbred and harness racing, and Australian thoroughbred racing.

Wagering options on these races include: win, place, show, exacta, trifecta, superfecta, daily double, pick 3, and other exotic choices.

GTBets gets in on the latest trend in sports betting by listing the major events under the “Live Scheduled” tab. Players click here to bet on live game action, even after the contest has started.

Betting lines on the money line, point spread and over-under totals change frequently with team scoring, injuries and penalties, and obvious momentum shifts in the game.

This form of wagering, which is also called in-play or in-running wagering, allows gamblers to keep placing bets throughout the event, instead of just placing a future or straight bet and waiting for the entire game or season to finish.

GTBets, which allows members to use their welcome bonus on this feature, also has a 60-Minute Wagering tab in the live betting area to notify members of upcoming events scheduled to start within the hour.

GTBets is missing a few ingredients to make this a complete sportsbook and casino experience. The gaming platform does not currently have a poker room.

If you’re looking for a poker tournament setting or just a casual game of Texas Hold’em, you should search for another site.

There’s a lot of information to consume when you click on the “Casino” tab at the top of the GTBets home page. The Casino page lists current slot jackpots, featured games, and categories of all things slot games.

If slot machines are not your style, there are a mix of video poker games like cash grab video poker, single hand, multi hand, and pyramid.

The site’s table games consist of different varieties of blackjack, roulette, craps, and baccarat, plus other specialty games like Pai Gow Poker, Three Card Rummy, and Top Card Trumps.

Every Tuesday, a 10-per-cent weekly casino rebate will be credited to players’ accounts.

Here’s how it works: Casino wins minus casino losses, bonuses, rewards cash, and rebates equals casino loss. GTBets returns 10 per cent of that amount to its members.

This rebate has no rollover. Also, accounts which are winning in the last 30 days, or lifetime, as well as accounts with withdrawals in the last 30 days, are ineligible for a rebate.

The slot category is by far the largest selection of games on the GTBets site. There are 178 different slot names with the majority classified as the 5-reel 3D slots.

If you know the name of the slot game you want to play, just use the search function or click the Specialty tab. The games, which are powered by Betsoft software, are listed alphabetically here.

One feature that new players should enjoy is the “Play for Fun” feature on every game in the casino. It offers some real entertainment value while learning which games you like the most.

I won $100 “fantasy” dollars on one slot machine and it was quite fun for the five minutes I played it.

GTBets offers live casino action, but you have to search within the casino games to find it. The link is also lost down the left-hand side of the page along with many other casino categories.

There are multiple tables available for blackjack, baccarat, and roulette. The betting limits are as follows:

• Blackjack — $5 minimum at the early payout table to $10,000 maximum at an exclusive table.
• Roulette — $1 to $500 for European and American versions with nine open tables.
• Baccarat — $1 to $5,000 with eight tables available.
• High roller tables are offered for every game, plus Pontoon and 21 Burn.

GTBets gets in on the eSports action with betting lines on popular games like CounterStrike, Dota 2, King of Glory, and League of Legends.

Members can wager on the money line for video game matches or tournaments, choose from a number of prop bets, or take their wagering to another level with live betting as all the action unfolds.

All the eSports game details and betting lines are found under the “Sports” tab.

GTBets also offers a rewards platform that generates points for players as their wagering volume increases. But that is hardly the extent of promotions and comps for members.

There are reload bonuses, refer a friend reward, and many email promotions. Those include:

• Double reloads
• Point discounts on bets
• Free bets on specified games
• Double reward point promotions
• Game of the week specials
• No juice or half juice specials
• Sweepstakes giveaways

Make sure your GTBets account preferences are set up to receive these special offers.

GTBets is similar to most of the online gaming platforms today in that it offers multiple methods for monetary transactions, including cryptocurrency, credit card, bank transfer, and online wallets.

The minimum and maximum amounts accepted depend on the payment method. As always, if guests or members have a question or concern, it’s best to contact customer service by email, phone or live chat.

U.S. dollar currency and cryptocurrency are the only dollar amounts accepted at GTBets.

Here are some of the gaming site’s deposit methods:

• Bitcoin: There are no deposit fees with a $35 minimum and $3,000 maximum limit.
• Credit card: No fees, with $35 minimum. Maximum depends on player status.
• DirectCash: A $10 fee is charged on limits of $100 to $2,000.
• Skrill: No fees, with $35 minimum. Maximum depends on player status. No U.S. or Canadian players.
• Neteller: No fees, with $25 minimum. Maximum depends on player status. No U.S. or Canadian players.

Money is deposited into your account quickly with any of the above methods after completing your registration with GTBets.

The No. 1 complaint online with GTBets is the high cost of payouts with methods other than cryptocurrency, which is free.

Here are some of the gaming site’s other withdrawal methods:

• Bank wire: A $60 fee is charged for payments between $100 and $2,000.
• DirectCash: A $50 fee is charged for payments between $300 and $600.
• Back2Card: A $15 fee for Visa or MasterCard payments between $50 and $2,500.
• Skrill: A $50 fee for payments between $50 and $2,000.
• Neteller: A $50 fee for payments between $50 and $2,000.

Obviously, it’s best to withdraw large amounts of money than many payments of smaller amounts. The fees will add up.
