Appearance and Navigation

On Novibet’s sportsbook, the home page can be quite overwhelming. It is a cluttered design with information covering the screen. The sports list and popular links are down the left-hand side as usual but it’s the rest of the page that’s the issue.

You are hit with so much information you don’t really know what to focus on. The font is clear to read as well as the titles but it just feels like there is too much going on. I have the same issue when I go to the separate pages which are packed with information.

In particular, the in-play page is hard to understand. They have the live events down the left in a box list, but the majority of the page is filled with one event and it’s infographic. I would much prefer a list format similar to bet365 because this is just overwhelming.

If you go to the “Schedule” page you will see a more traditional list of upcoming events which is easier to understand. Even so, there is still an event to the right of the list taking up far too much space.

Betting Markets

Novibet has a decent amount of markets for you to choose from, ranging around 90+ in popular sporting events. Also, that depth is available in smaller leagues like the Swedish Allsvenskan which has 111 markets in a few games.

You will have access to 23 different sports to bet on but there is a big omission for UK punters. There is no horse racing available at Novibet if you love betting on horses check out bet365, or Unibet!

Overall, Novibet has an impressive depth of markets available in the sports they offer. It would be good to see a create your own bet feature and horse racing, but it is fine if you do not need those.

Live Betting and Streaming

I still feel the in-play betting is overwhelming and needs better organisation for it to work well. Punters need to be able to see a list of events to monitor odds and games.

This design makes it hard to see the scores or even know what games are live. The overview tab makes it a bit easier, but the event view to the right still takes up far too much room.

The only positive to this design is you can still see the event list while looking closer at your chosen event. If they had a way of minimising the event viewer when you didn’t want it, it would work so much better.

There is no bet to watch live streaming available at Novibet, but it is not expected for a bookie that has recently come to the UK market.

Customer Service

Novibet has an amazing 24/7 customer service with a number of different contact options. You can contact them using Email, Live Chat, Skype, Phone and even Fax. There are certainly no complaints when it comes to their customer service.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Novibet may not be to every punter’s taste with its unique design. But, it does offer great value for money with their promotions, high odds and low betting margins. Personally, I like the list formatted designs so it could just be my taste but if you are willing to try something different Novibet could be the bookie for you!
