Winner App Review

Winner is a traditional online bookmaking brand operated by a provider in Malta. The company first launched a casino in 2009 and added a sportsbook four years later. The company were granted a license by the UK Gambling Commission in 2014 so Winner complies with their regulations. The site is slightly less mature from some of the other brands but it is trusted for safety. Before sports betting was launched by winner they offered a casino, bingo and gaming products to their customers. The parent company is fully licensed and regulated by the Malta Gaming Authority to offer online bookmaker services across a wide range of sports.

There is a process to create a Shortcut which can appear on the Home screen. The web based app has all the features of the desktop version of the website, some of which are described below:

Winner App Features 

The following betting services are available to mobile customers with Winner:

Pre-Match Sports Betting

‘Sports’ is the second option on the menu of gaming products. The three most popular betting sports of football, tennis and basketball are listed independently. There is also an A-Z list of the complete range of sorts which at the time of writing totalled 19. The sports product is mainly targeted at mainland Europe but the list of sports includes many that are popular in the UK. 

There are no novelty bets in the Winner sports betting product and the focus is on a relatively small number of the regular betting sports. Football accounts for most bets and the most popular competitions are in the Premier League in England and the Champions League.  The most bet on markets are the match winner, handicaps and total number of goals. 

In-Play Betting

‘In-Play’ is the second option on the sports page menu. The min in-plat page displays the current live events and the main markets. Customers can then enter the in-play event and see a visual representation of the action but there is no live streaming. Mobile customers have access to about 50 markets for the major football matches and fewer for sports that are less high profile.  The odds are taken down when something important happens but reappear after a few seconds with the odds changed accordingly, depending on what happened during the match. 

Cash Out

Mobile customers with Winner have the option to cash out bets before expiry. The cash out option is best used when the action goes the way of the bet and the odds are now in favour of the better. Bets can be fully or partially cashed out or the cash out value can be rejected. The offer depends on the original odds, the stake and the odds at which a cash offer is requested. The purpose to cashing out before the final is known is to guarantee a profit or limit the loss whatever the final score of the match.  

Winner Welcome Offer 

All customers are entitled to the welcome offer and ongoing promotions for existing customers. Mobile and PC users with Winner can claim to £200 in the form of a welcome bonus. This offer is subject to the following Terms & Conditions:

• New customers in the UK.
• Initial deposit for £30 to £200. 
• First bet on a sports market at odds of 1.5 or bigger.
• 100% matched bet bonus once the qualifying bet has been settled.
• The bet and bonus must be wagered eight times before a withdrawal. 
• The qualifying bets must be placed at 2.0 or bigger.
• General Winner Terms & Conditions apply.

The Winner welcome offer for new mobile and desktop users is relatively lucrative but the staking and odds requirements negate some of the benefits. The first bet and bonus must be staked eight times before there is access to the funds. That means to be credited with the full bonus of £200 customers must stake £3,200.  

At the time of writing Winner offered mobile and PC existing customers the following range of ongoing promotions:

• Football accumulator bonus
• Tennis accumulator bonus
• Lucky steak  bonus for horse racing
• Beaten by a length refund.

There is a mobile specific offer for customers with Winner. All customers receive £10 in the form of a free bet for each £200 of mobile in-play betting. There are other mobile exclusive offers with Winner which complement the welcome offer and the bonuses for existing customers. 

Winner Payment Methods 

Mobile customers can deposit and withdraw funds using debit and credit cards, e-Wallets such as PayPal, pre-paid safe cards and Bank Transfer. The minimum deposit is £10 and there is no maximum. Transfers are immediate and do not carry a charge. Processing times for withdrawals range from 1 to 7 days, depending on the method. Some withdrawals have a fee depending on the service provider.
