It’s no surprise that the experience that Sportingbet has accumulate in the industry has found its way into the overall practical site design and layout of their website. It is because of this that it gets top spot as best website user experience and design amongst our bookies.

Firstly let’s start with the actual layout of the site, a very practical and visually appealing site design, which despite the number of additional site features and offers it includes it doesn’t feel cluttered or overwhelming, something which we have noticed in the past when reviewing other bookies, there really is a fine line between showing value and then just plain old clutter.

Sportingbet has really set the benchmark in mixing a perfect blend of visual appeal and practical usability. The team at Sportingbet have consciously emphasised the most important fundamental aspects needed in the player experience to ensure that these are not only easy to find, but even easier to use. Whether you are a first time player or a regular member you will appreciate this simplistic but highly effective site layout.

One of the things we really enjoy about the site is the use of iconography and visual cues such as the sports team jerseys, it just helps to elevate the overall appeal and attraction to the player experience, as well as reduce what can often become a very text heavy design.

Sportingbet do offer more than just sports betting, they also offer a very stylish and highly advanced live games section which includes all of your favourite casino games such as poker, Bingo and Baccarat to name a few. What we really appreciate is how the site has in some way managed to include both sports betting as well as casino affiliate offers all into one site but simultaneously made them feel like their own identity.

Overall we love the professional look and feel of the Sportingbet site, whether you are a novice or an experienced veteran, the way the site has been laid out, the features they provide, and the overall portfolio offering which extends past just online sports betting has created something that just feels very secure, easy to use and just plain awesome in general, a definite bookmaker to check out.

The mobile user journey of Sportingbet is of course very slick, and completely compliments the desktop version given its responsive setup. The team at Sportingbet have done an incredible job to continue with the theme of simplicity with effect across all their owned touchpoints. In an online environment where trust and familiarity are so important, particularly to new or inexperienced players, bookies need to ensure that their designs cater for across device behaviour in a seamless and integrated way, this couldn’t be more so with the Sportingbet offering.

Across both mobile and tablet you will notice a sliding view functionality feature that just adds a real premium quality feel to an already top class mobile user experience.

Users are able to seamlessly scroll through top upcoming fixtures, filter by sporting code as well as popular leagues and tournaments with ease all thanks to this function.

All of the functions made available on desktop are of course neatly laid out across mobile

What we love most about this site is that everything a player needs in the way of their betting slips and bets are available as a sticky banner at the bottom of the screen, a very nice touch to just add to the ease of reference and navigation of the site. You’ll also be happy to know that the registration and login processes are the same across all devices, you are also able to use the same credentials regardless of what device you may be entering from.

The registration process of any bookmaker is really the making or breaking point of any new players user experience. It is crucial that the process for any player is firstly simple, it is easy to input and navigate, and most importantly does not require overly sensitive information or lengthy and/or difficult to upload document requirements.

On first entry you will be required to provide your email address and a future password to your account, once this is complete you will then need to supply the relevant authentication details such as your name, date of birth and you source of funds.

Once again you may be asked to supply FICA documentation if your identity cannot be initially confirmed, however the site does not request this upfront nor do they have much mention around FICA and FICA requirements.

One thing we do like is the reminder of the welcome bonus throughout the registration process. From a mobile device, tablet or even the app the registration process is exactly the same, as mentioned the credentials you initially register with can be used across any device or the app when looking to login to your account.
