Basic information about LeonBets. 

The Leon Online Sportsbook has been operating since 2007, but it is still a little-known company in our country. In addition to odds betting, fans of casino games, both online slots and games with live dealers, will also enjoy Leon.

For bettors, the most important information is the high odds on the football and tennis markets. Of course, this applies especially to the main markets for the most important leagues or tournaments. On the other hand, the amount of side bets is low compared to the more well-known sportsbooks.

Each player receives a bonus of 20 free bets for a total value of €220 with registration. However, the rewards certainly don't end there. There is, for example, a regular "Reload bonus" and a "Loyalty program" in which you can exchange the points you have accumulated for a financial reward.

Important information. However, LeonBets does not accept the ZAR currency, we recommend South African players to choose the Euro currency

History and Background of LeonBets. 

Leon has been in the online sports betting business since 2007. However, for many years it focused only on Eastern European countries. This changed in 2018 with the launch of a global site where players from more than eighty countries are accepted.

They use several different domains for their worldwide operations, such as leonbets.com, leonbets.net, leonbet.in, etc. All of them fall under one operator, which is Leon Curacao N.V. Thus, it is already clear from the name of the company that it is licensed to Curacao.

As far as licenses are concerned, in many European and African countries they do not own one, but players are welcome, the same is the case for South African bettors.

How to get started? - Registration and Verification of your betting account. 

Registering a new account is very simple and intuitive. After clicking on this link, you will be redirected to the registration page where you can choose between registering by phone or email. Choose the one that suits you better.

In the form, fill in the information that is required and you are done. Your account is now active.

After registration, you still need to verify your account. Therefore, always enter the information truthfully! The company may ask you to verify your address with some proof of address (bank statement, electricity bill, etc.) before you make your first withdrawal.

Odds offer and levels at LeonBets. 

Let's get to the most important thing - the odds offer. First of all, we can mention that it is very clear. In Leon they do without extra animations and the result is a simple sidebar with the offer. The menu can be easily filtered by time preference. An important functionality is the magnifying glass, which simplifies the search.

The first criticism aimed at LeonBets is the rather "poor" menu. Of course, it does not lack sports like football, basketball, tennis or esports, but on the other hand, you will not find, for example, horse racing and some other sports. The same goes for the competitions and tournaments that are announced.

Even more disappointing is the not very extensive range of markets that are available. To be more specific, for example, football lacks any player bets (score a goal, get a card,...). In tennis, for a change, you have to do without statistical bets, i.e. number of aces, double faults, etc.

Bettors looking for opportunities in the main markets will be satisfied. This is because of the unexpectedly high odds and the nice margin. There is of course a difference between betting on the Premier League and tennis "ITFko", but globally Leon's margin is solid compared to the competition. Some major markets (1X2) on selected football events (e.g. some Champions League, Premier League or Bundesliga matches) even boast 0% margin.

Contact and Support. 

LeonBets Support has one disadvantage. Unlike other bookmakers, here you have to log in first before contacting support via live chat. So without a registered account you are out of luck. In case you need to verify anything before registering, you can use the contact form, which can be accessed by clicking on the "Help" box located in the footer.

There may not be many questions after all, as there are plenty of answers in the FAQ section.

Our rating
80 %

Although Leon Online Bookmaker has been on the market since 2007, its name is still unknown in the country. Given the high odds available on the major football markets, this is a shame.

We must appreciate the welcome bonus that is given to new bettors in the form of twenty free bets. The total amount reaches €220! There are several bonuses at Leon. In the context of bonuses, we can't fail to mention the so-called Loyalty program, i.e. the loyalty program for regular bettors.

Other benefits include quick and easy registration, the ability to deposit and withdraw via cryptocurrencies and also a mobile app (which is however only available for Android).

We consider the range of odds and listed markets to be LeonBets' weakest point. Compared to many bookmakers, the range of sports, leagues and competitions is somewhat truncated, e.g. bettors who like horse racing don't even need to register.

An interesting way to make your betting more interesting is with quick bets. These are high-speed bets, where the bettor bets on what the next situation will occur in the announced match. For example, in football matches you can choose between a penalty, a corner kick, a goal, a kick-off, etc. But be careful! The margin on these markets will be significantly on the bookmaker's side.

LeonBets does not accept the ZAR currency but we recommend South African players to choose the Euro currency.
