K8 Gambling Services

Sportsbook

Despite K8’s primary focus being on their online casino services, they have still managed to provide an impressive sportsbook for their customers. Punters will find their sports selection impressive for a new company with a choice of over 30 different sports. Being a modern company, K8 have realised the growing demand for markets on gaming events, so you can expect to find markets on CS:GO, Kings of Glory and Overwatch. As well as these modern betting markets, punters will be glad to see that K8 has still provided plenty of markets on traditional sports like football, horse racing and darts. Punters can test their luck on a bunch of more niche sports also, such as hurling, water polo and futsal. The sheer quantity of odds that K8 provide is impressive especially for football, which has been known to have more than 11,000 odds at any one time.

Casino Games

With online gaming and casino-style games being K8’s main focus you can expect to find a huge amount of games that have all been made with great care. Upon selecting their casino section you’ll find a list of all their available games which have been grouped by most popular, video slots, classic slots, table games, scratch cards, other games and all games. K8 could have done with adding a search bar to their online casino as their vast collection of games makes things hard when pinpointing specific games. So whether you want to take a punt on traditional casino games like blackjack and roulette or a spin on their newest additions like Starburst and Fruit Mania, then K8 is the place to go.

Live Casino

For those who want to get even closer to the action of a real casino, they can head to K8’s live casino section. With the use of a webcam, players can go against other players and real dealers. K8’s live casino has not got the widest selection of games but players can still expect to find lobbies for blackjack, roulette, baccarat and poker.

K8 Features

Since K8 is yet to release an app for their services, below we take a look at what features you can find on their mobile website.

Match Live/Visualisation

A feature which is becoming a regular occurrence for most bookmakers these days is match live or otherwise known as visualisation. This feature allows punters to get the best possible coverage of an event without having to actually watch it. Punters are kept up to date of the current ongoing in their selected event via the use of live graphic updates. This feature is incredibly important for bookmakers who do not provide any live streams.

Live Betting

K8 realises the growing demand for in-play betting or live betting and has dedicated it’s own section to live betting on their mobile website. When on this section punters can search through all of the current live events that K8 are covering without having to browse through pre-match bets. K8 do not provide the largest selection of live betting markets, but players can still find odds for football, tennis, basketball, volleyball and futsal.

Cash Out

This may seem like a very basic feature for bookmakers to include in this day and age, but that does not knock the importance of it. With cash-out punters have more control over their stakes and potential winnings and have a greater chance of maximising their profits. Punters can cash out their winnings before their event has completely finished. An important note to remember is that the value of your cash out will only be a percentage of their original return.

Search Bar

Another feature that may seem incredibly basic, but is surprisingly rare to come across when dealing with bookmakers is a search bar. Any punter will understand the struggle of scrolling through countless amounts of leagues, teams and markets that do not interest them but with a search bar, there is no need to waste any more time. K8’s search bar can pinpoint any team, league or event that is taking place and they provide odds for.

K8 Customer Support

K8 provide their customers with adequate customer support methods which are available 24/7. K8 recommend using their live chat service which can be accessed via their mobile website but players must have an account with K8 and be signed into it. With live chat, customers can talk first hand with one of K8’s support operatives who provide quick resolutions to most queries. K8 also provide an email to get in contact with but customers will have to be prepared to wait up to 48 hours for a response.

Final Words on the K8 App

After taking a closer look at what K8 has to offer the betting industry, we are definitely impressed. For a new sportsbook it, is incredibly detailed and provides a huge selection of sports which range from the usuals to much more niche sports. K8 could work on adding more sports to their live betting section which currently is very limited, alongside the markets they offer which are also limited. However, on the whole, K8 has a great platform to build on and should definitely be considered by punters out there.
