BetStorm is part of the ProgressPlay Limited white-label platform, which powers 50+ sister sites including the likes of Mr Rex, Nagsbet, Jazzy Spins and many more.
That said, many ProgressPlay sites have landed on our bookmaker blacklist due to recurring issues such as fees on deposits and withdrawals, poor customer support, and large numbers of 1-star reviews.
Only a handful make it onto our recommended list, and even then, we advise reading our in-depth reviews first and joining with caution.
With BetStorm sister sites aplenty to explore, can any of those find their way into the upper bracket of betting sites? We look to answer that question here.
BetStorm, a sportsbook and casino offering that was launched back in 2021, is owned by Progress Play Limited (UKGC: 39335).
PPL isn't necessarily a brand name that holds household recognition in the UK, but it is a huge player in the iGaming space with over a decade of experience operating in UK markets.
With BetStorm just one of a vast number of brand names under its control, there is definitely value in exploring the BetStorm sister sites we highlight below.
Let's start with the positives of BetStorm, of which there are a number to talk about. First of all, it gives users the option to explore both a sportsbook and casino offering, which is not the case for all bookmakers.
The offering in both those respective areas is alright as well with the introduction of horses and greyhounds to its platform since its initial launch certainly improving the sportsbook.
Football is the other big sport for bettors in the UK, and Premier League market depth sits around the 300 mark, which is strong. The array of payment methods available to punters is another tick.
The positive of good banking options is rapidly flipped into a negative, though, with withdrawal fees of £2.50 applied to each withdrawal request.
The navigation around the site is poor too, with live betting in the sportsbook available but lacking the same depth of options as pre-match markets.
BetStorm is a site that promises quite a lot but just lacks that something special to tip it into the "above average" bracket.
The BetStorm sister sites are plentiful, so perhaps some of those options will give you food for thought as to whether or not you sign up.
There is a strong correlation between Jazzy Spins and BetStorm when it comes to the look and feel of the site.
The strength of the payment options is shared too, with a decent range of options available to punters.
The other notable positive from Jazzy Spins is some significant brand names featuring in the casino with game names like 'Bigger Bass Splash', 'Reel King Big Money' and '777 Diamond Strike'.
The negatives at Jazzy Spins are vast though, far more so than at BetStorm. That is not a good sign considering our view that the latter is just "okay".
For starters, Jazzy Spins fails to provide a sportsbook. Despite that, the casino offering is somehow worse with no "live casino" available; you do have live casino games to play, but locating them specifically is hard work.
The sign up bonus is not worth the paper it is written on either with a 50x wagering requirement.
There is a question posed on the Jeffbet site, "What makes JeffBet stand out from the crowd". The answer is nothing. It really is a case of rinse and repeat where JeffBet is concerned when benchmarking it as one of the BetStorm sister sites.
The only real difference is the logo in the top left corner and the use of imagery in the promotions on offer - albeit the terms of the offers are consistent across the brands.
So, what does that mean? Well, you benefit from the football coverage that stretches around the globe, horse racing markets that cover the UK, Ireland and international meets and a reasonable betting margin to go with it.
You've also got a stronger casino offering than that available at Jazzy Spins, with slot games, jackpots, table games and a live casino.
You have to take the rough with the smooth though and that means rank average navigation, limited in-play betting options, poor service and a tough-to-swallow withdrawal process.
