Marathonbet

Overview

Registered under Spanish and UK jurisdictions, MarathonBet was established in 1997, providing a gambling and betting platform for the clientele all over the world over more than twenty years!

Most well-known for its sports betting service, MarathonBet also incorporates some slot games, table, and live dealer games in the casino section of the site.

In addition to Spanish and English languages, three more languages this casino supports are French, German and Slovenian.

Appearance and Usability

The MarathonBet has been here since the 90s...

...and, unfortunately, that still shows on the casino’s website, which would benefit from more modern solutions.

The site works a bit slower than what would be desirable and visually it retains the look of the sites from older days, especially when it comes to the layout of the menu, as well as the font used throughout the pages.

Despite this, mobile experience is pretty solid, and the mobile site remains pretty much the same as the desktop version.

Matter of fact, the mobile or desktop site layouts can be switched at any time no matter the device used.

Customer support is available in every way possible, from live chat over email to the support by phone.

Games

Some big names in the world of iGaming software development provide the games for MarathonBet, such as Play’n GO, Evolution Gaming, Microgaming, Big Time Gaming, and Yggdrasil.

But there is also a plethora of some developers that are more rarely seen, some of which can be even considered to be somewhat obscure, like:

• Rabcat
• Foxium
• Just for The Win
• Gameburger Studios
• All41 Studios
• Slingshot Studios
• Stormcraft Studios
• Fortune Factory Studios
• Crazy Tooth Studio
• Neon Valley Studios

This brings to the table some variety, although, as of now, the number of titles that can be found in the casino’s gaming library isn’t as big as it could be, especially when it comes to the slot releases.

Slots – Immortal Romance, Vikings Go Berzerk, Lightning Joker, Neon Rush Splitz, ThunderStruck II, Cazino Cosmos, The One-Armed Bandit, Lucky Leprechaun, Bars and Stripes, Lady Of Fortune, Imperial Opera, Wolf Hunters, Mystery Joker 6000, Football Star,

Table games – European Roulette Gold, American Roulette, Premier Roulette, Multi-Wheel Roulette, Baccarat Gold, Multi-hand European Blackjack Gold, Atlantic City Blackjack Gold, Jacks Or Better, Deuces Wild, Bonus Deuces Wild, Aces and Faces Poker

Live Dealer – Roulette, Lightning Roulette, Blackjack, Speed Bacarrat, Bacarrat Squeeze, Caribbean Stud Poker, Three Card Poker, Casino Hold’Em, Dream Catcher, Monopoly Live, Lightning Dice, Super Sic Bo, Football Studio

Jackpot – Fruit Fiesta, Major Millions, King Cashalot, Tunzamunni

For whatever reason, the table poker game section is a separate one, listed in the submenu of the main category named “Other”.

First listed in the menu of the casino titles are new games and to make browsing even easier, they can be searched by providers and by typing the title in the search bar.

Live Casino is in a completely separate section, listed among the various sports betting sections.

And speaking of the live dealer games, MarathonBet should make fans of the roulette and live poker very happy, as they offer a large number of these games.

Promotions

As stated above, MarathonBet is primarily focused on sports betting...

... which is why the loyalty program is entirely focused on bets. Bringing benefits in terms of extra bets, bonus balance, and when it comes to the cashouts.

Similarly, the Advancebet feature provides the way to place bets even with insufficient funds in the player's account balance.

Which is to say that the casino section itself has no promotions and bonuses whatsoever.

This is certainly an odd decision on the part of the owners, as it is extremely hard to find an online casino on today's market that doesn't reward newcomers and regular clients with some benefits.

Cashier

When it comes to the banking methods, depositing and withdrawing at MarathonBet is possible in several different ways:

• Direct Bank Transfer
• Maestro
• MasterCard Credit
• MasterCard Debit
• Visa
• Visa Debit
• Visa Electron
• Paysafecard
• PayPal
• EcoPayz
• Trustly
• Skrill
• Neteller
• WebMoney
• Jeton

Cashout time falls within the margin of a common one, being neither too fast nor too slow, for most methods used. Processing via e-wallet takes 24 to 48 hours.

When it comes to the credit and debit cards it can take from three to five business days and Band Transfer ranges from three to painstakingly slow ten days of wait.

It shows just how international friendly with the support for 23 different currencies from all over the world!

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Litecoin are, sadly, entirely lacking as an option.

The minimum deposit and minimum withdrawal are more than reasonably low, although the information about the cashout limit doesn't seem to be specified anywhere on the site.

Conclusion

MarathonBet is most certainly not your regular online casino.

Although they do come in many forms, the differences of this casino primarily stem from the fact that it is first oriented towards sports bets, with the casino section being just a part of the whole package.

Whether this is one of the reasons, why there is no loyalty plan or any kind of promotions and bonuses in this section, we can’t say for sure, but whatever the reason, it is a strange decision that doesn't encourage the client’s loyalty.

On the other hand, the casino provides every type of game it should in the gaming library, especially when it comes to the live roulette and poker games.
