Parimatch sister sites

Parimatch sister sites 2023

You can’t talk about the Parimatch sister sites without talking about BetVictor. In fact, you can’t talk about the entire BV Gaming Limited casino and betting site family without talking about BetVictor. It’s the sports betting brand that put the “BV” into “BV Gaming,” and if it weren’t for the money made by this household name, Parimatch might never have been brought into the UK as a brand. Heart Bingo wouldn’t have been bought in from elsewhere, either. BetVictor was the genesis point of the whole network but has existed since long before the idea of an internet-based iGaming network came along. You have to go all the way back to the 1930s to trace the origins of BetVictor as a greyhound betting company, but that was then, and this is now. The BetVictor of today is a far bigger beast.

The first thing that most people will think of when they see BetVictor is sports betting, and that’s exactly how it should be. Sports betting is what the brand built its name on and is still at the core of BetVictor today. The company likes to think of itself as a football betting specialist, which is why the majority of its promotions tend to revolve around football, and some of its biggest sponsorships in the past have been football-related (back when such things weren’t frowned upon by the authorities). Horse racing takes second billing to football in the BetVictor sportsbook, but if you’re prepared to put the work in and browse through the entire A-Z, you’ll find odds listed for every pro sport in the world, including quite a few that you wouldn’t necessarily expect to be able to bet on. Ever fancied betting on futsal? You can do it here.

Since the internet came along and totally changed the game for betting companies, we’ve become accustomed to seeing brands that once specialised in sports betting branching out into other forms of gambling and casino entertainment. BetVictor is no exception to that rule. Check the list of menu options that run across the top of the BetVictor homepage, and you’ll see options for live casino and regular casino games, including plenty of live dealers, all the modern slots you can shake a stick at, and more than a few exclusives. It’s not quite true that you can bet on literally anything at BetVictor – there’s no poker or bingo, for example – but it’s an ever-growing brand, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see either base covered in the near future. When it comes to Parimatch sister sites, BetVictor is the Alpha and the Omega.

When it comes to reviewing all the iGaming sites that share space on a casino network, it’s rare to find yourself questioning whether they’re even truly related. Yet, with the Parimatch sister sites, this is a conundrum that arises not once but twice. Parimatch itself is sort of half-on and half-off the network (more on that later), but Heart Bingo is the better example. According to the UK Gambling Commission license of BV Gaming Limited, Heart Bingo sister sites are operated by the company. That should mean it’s one of the Parimatch sister sites, and that should be the end of the debate. However, it’s also listed on the UKGC license of Gamesys Operations Limited, and that’s an entirely different casino network. Both companies refer to Heart Bingo as a white-label casino, suggesting that they work together on it. This partnership is an odd one and may stem from BV Gaming Limited’s inexperience with bingo and slot sites compared to sports betting sites.

Despite Heart Bingo’s unusual licensing status, we will still treat it as one of the Parimatch sister sites. Many people associate this brand with Olly Murs, who was the face of the brand for many years in TV and print ads. Although the partnership between the iGaming site and the pop star and TV presenter has ended, the connection remains strong in the minds of the public. But Heart Bingo is more than just Murs. As the official bingo and iGaming site of Heart Radio, it has numerous celebrity associations and promotional avenues it can look to to advertise itself, not to mention the “Olly Murs Daily Wheel” bonus promotions still featured on the website means Olly is still around in some form.

Although bingo is the primary focus at Heart Bingo, and so you’d expect the site to offer great rooms, the quality of its bingo rooms shouldn’t be overlooked. The brand’s high profile has enabled it to secure exclusive titles from world-class providers, such as Heart Bonanza Bingo and Bubble Wild Bingo. While it’s not a slots site, it boasts several exclusive slots such as the Heart Make Me A Millionaire Slot Game and an even bigger hitter in the shape of Heart Bingo Fluffy Favourites Jackpot. When Eyecon creates an exclusive version of Fluffy Favourites for your brand, you know you have a considerable amount of clout.

Parimatch operator – BV Gaming Limited

It’s not easy to differentiate between BetVictor and BV Gaming Limited as the two are symbiotically related. As one may have already guessed, BV Gaming Limited was born out of the success of BetVictor, which has been a player in the iGaming industry since 1946. With an extensive reach, BV Gaming Limited has a presence in more than 150 countries and is considered one of Europe’s leading iGaming companies. However, the company’s workforce isn’t as vast as one would expect, with just over 400 employees based in offices located strategically in London, Gibraltar, and Budapest. It’s worth noting that BetVictor also has dozens of franchised shops, which are operated separately from the online business.

The history of BetVictor and BV Gaming Limited can be traced back to the greyhound racing track where William Chandler founded the company. After William’s death, his sons Jack and Victor took over the business, and Victor Jr. inherited it when his father died in 1974. Victor Jr. moved the company’s headquarters to Gibraltar in 1998, citing tax purposes as the reason for the relocation. BetVictor was one of the first UK gambling companies to make this move. In 2004, the company rebranded as “VC Bet,” became “Victor Chandler” in 2008 and finally rebranded as BetVictor in 2012. In 2014, Michael Tabor assumed control of the company, ending the long history of family ownership. It’s only since then that we’ve seen the company develop an interest in expanding beyond its core brand, with Parimatch and Heart Bingo acquired from elsewhere. Besides its business dealings, BetVictor is known for sponsoring events such as Fulham FC, World Matchplay darts, and several snooker tournaments.

Parimatch Sister Sites Welcome Bonuses

Some sports betting brands don’t offer any welcome promotions because they prefer to let their sportsbooks do the talking. Others might offer one or two in the hope of hooking in new players. Sites on the Parimatch sister sites network take a wholly different approach, going overboard with promotions in the hope of blowing customers away. Parimatch has so many different welcome promotions available that we almost don’t know where to start, but we’ll begin with the specific football betting welcome promotion.

Join Parimatch and make three £10 bets on football within seven days of joining to receive a further three free £10 bets to use as you wish. There’s no wagering requirement attached to the free bets, but stakes aren’t returned in the event of a win, and in-play cashout isn’t available.

Perhaps you’re more interested in joining Parimatch to play casino games than you are in sports betting? If so, you can trigger £50 in bonuses by spending £15 on “selected games” within seven days of signing up. Your £50 in bonus cash is also reserved for “selected games,” and the bonus money comes with an x40 wagering requirement attached to it. That’s not significantly higher than the UK’s average, but it’s still the wrong side of the line.

From there, things get weirdly specific. New players can claim a combat sports welcome promotion by betting £10 on any combat sport and receiving £40 in free bets, with the terms of the promotion identical to those of the football welcome offer. Alternatively, spend £10 on esports to receive a promotion that’s described as an esports welcome bonus but is, in fact, a £15 free esports bet, £10 for “football esports battle,” and a £5 bonus to use in the live casino. There’s even a general “sports welcome offer,” where players can claim four £5 free sports bets by betting £10 on any sports. That promotion seems to clash with and contradict some of the others we’ve listed, so we’re not sure how Parimatch keeps track of what’s supposed to be awarded to who.

Think we’re done there? Nope. In addition, Parimatch has a live casino welcome promotion too. Spent £10 on live dealer games to get a £20 bonus plus three £10 bonuses to use in the live casino, subject to x35 wagering requirements. Last and possibly least, the Parimatch slots welcome offer is fifty free spins for every £5 wagered on slots up to a maximum of 200 free spins. There’s no wagering attached to these spins, but again, the offer seems to contradict what’s gone before it.

Other Promotions

We think it’s possible that someone at Parimatch realised that they’d catastrophically over-egged the pudding with the site’s welcome promotions because after you’ve used up your chosen welcome bonus, there isn’t a whole lot more waiting for you. Players at Parimatch don’t have access to the BV Loyalty Club, which is reserved for BetVictor on the grounds that it’s the flagship of the Parimatch sister sites. There are a few more promotions to consider, but they’re fairly pedestrian in nature – we’re talking things like acca bonuses and special promotions on Chelsea FC matches because of the brand’s status as one of the London club’s official betting partners. A redress of the balance between welcome promotions and ongoing promotions at Parimatch would be a wise idea.

Top Games at Parimatch

We don’t know whether you can realistically call in-play betting a “game,” but if you can, it’s the top game at Parimatch. We could make more out of the fact that Parimatch, like BetVictor, has expanded beyond its original parameters and begun offering casino games. If you want to know what the top casino games at Parimatch are, they’re the 10p Roulette table game simulator, Arena’s “All Bets” version of Blackjack, and a special Parimatch-branded version of live roulette. The sportsbook is what Parimatch is built around, though, and we know it’s a great one. The reason we know that is that it’s the exact same sportsbook as the one you’ll find at BetVictor. It covers all of the same sports, and save for the occasional deviation, it mostly offers the same odds. There’s nothing wrong with that, though; it’s a very good sportsbook. You’ll even find that Parimatch allows you to bet on a few non-sporting matters – the latest happenings in the world of politics, for example.

Customer Support and Licensing

It’s surprising that a betting site of Parimatch’s repute doesn’t offer phone support, but it’s true. Instead, customers who require assistance on the website can use the 24/7 live chat option or contact [email protected] via email to receive assistance. Further assistance can also be found on social media. BV Gaming Limited holds the UK Gambling Commission license no. 39576 for Parimatch. However, a regulatory issue with the UK Gambling Commission resulted in BV Gaming Limited being ordered to divest funds and issue a public statement in February 2022. The operator breached numerous license conditions in terms of social responsibility, customer interaction, marketing, and anti-money laundering, according to a review by the commission. BV Gaming Limited paid £1.7 million in lieu of a fine.

Withdrawal Speed and Support

Withdrawals from Parimatch can take anywhere from 2-5 working days for standard debit card transactions. However, players who use Visa Direct accounts with FastFunds Withdrawals approved may see their funds deposited back into their accounts within just 40 minutes of the transaction being approved. E-wallets are also supported, with funds typically arriving within 1-3 working days, but PayPal is the only brand name listed. It’s worth noting that Parimatch has a 24-hour processing period for withdrawal requests, so instant withdrawals are not possible.

Final Thoughts on Parimatch

The presence of Parimatch on the BV Gaming Limited network is a strange thing because Parimatch doesn’t really belong to the operator. It’s only in the UK that you’ll find Parimatch listed as a BV Gaming Limited brand, with the company using BV Gaming’s UKGC licence to gain access to the UK market. Everywhere else in Europe and across the wider world, Parimatch is a standalone brand. We assume it could have obtained a UKGC licence of its own if it wanted, so we have no idea why it didn’t. It’s a good sports betting and casino site, but it suffers a little from being in BetVictor’s shadow.

Parimatch Sister Sites Player Reviews

Here are the thoughts of your fellow players about Parimatch. The reviews are all real, but we’ve paraphrased them to keep them brief.

★★★★★
The customer support at Parimatch is the absolute worst. They’re just looting their customers. I’ve been waiting for a withdrawal of £15,000 since April 7th, and nobody is getting back to me about it.Santhosh, April 18th 2023. Source – Trustpilot.

★★★★★
I had a problem getting the welcome offer to allocate to my account, but Jesus on the live chat system sorted the whole thing out for me. Richard, April 15th 2023. Source – Trustpilot.

★★★★★
A bet that I’d placed didn’t show up properly in my account because the site was having technical problems, but a live chat advisor called Orsi took good care of me and fixed it. I’m very impressed.Robert, March 30th 2023. Source – Trustpilot.

★★★★★
You get top-level service from Parimatch; I ended up with the wrong welcome offer because I clicked the wrong thing. It was my fault, but Jesus in customer support gave me the free spins anyway as a gesture of goodwill. That’s the sort of thing that makes a difference.JC, March 22nd 2023. Source – Trustpilot.

★★★★★
I signed up with Parimatch recently because of a welcome offer. I’ve been thrilled so far. The app is really easy to use, the live chat function puts you through to a real person instead of a bot, and issues get resolved in seconds. I’m sticking around.Kyle, March 17th 2023. Source – Trustpilot.
