Karamba Sports Betting - Free Bet Bonus for Canada 2024

Karamba has been about since 2005. The company initially started within the gambling industry with their online casino, but on the back of the success as a top casino operator, they decided to expand into sports betting as well.

To power the betting side of things they have enlisted the help of Aspire Global International. The firm is also linked with other betting platforms such as BetRegal, and come with a wealth of expertise and features, allowing the Karamba brand to go head to head with some of the biggest bookmakers online.

They’ve been able to make great strides over the last few years and this was outlined by scooping their first industry-voted award which came in the form of Best Customer Relationship Management Campaign at the 2019 EGR awards. If you consider that the brand is small compared to most, this is a massive achievement for them and underlines the sites core values.

There may be a welcome bonus at Karamba that can come in the form of a free bet. You will need to sign up for a new account and opt-in to reveal any potentially available bonuses, like free bets for players in your region. Free bets usually come with their own requirements, for example you may need to deposit a certain amount to qualify, and/or place a bet at certain minimum odds. 

Then, there is usually a time frame where you can claim and use your free bet/s as well before they expire. They will generally need to be placed on bets priced at a certain amount or higher, and any winnings will not include the free bet. Sometimes, deposits made with e-wallets such as Skrill, Neteller or Paysafecard make players ineligible for bonuses. 

More Possible Promotions

We've seen KaramBoost before, where you can get a boost on any accumulator bet you place on the site. The boost tends to be an increase in winning and can be triggered by placing an acca of 4 or more picks. You may even start earning VIP reward points by placing bets. Usually the way it works is that the more bets you place, the more points you get. These help you climb the ranks, each rank offering potential rewards - more rewards or better ones. 

You’re getting a really solid range of both sports and markets at Karamba, including NFL betting. We never know what to expect with some of the smaller brands, but we were genuinely impressed with what we saw at Karamba and reckon they could go head to head with many of the bigger brands in the industry.

Like most, football and horse racing play centre stage in terms of depth. But that being said, they have a great range of other sports as well, with tennis, greyhound racing, boxing (and UFC), darts and even e-sports being some of the standouts. With over 25 different sports available, the sportsbook here should have something for everyone.

Betting Odds with Karamba

Betting odds at Karamba are another sector that’s been highly impressive. They ranked well in pretty much all of our tests, but standout sports were that of golf and darts interestingly enough, but with high percentage payouts in relation to the industry standard.

Betting Features

Considering Karamba aren’t what you would call a mainstream brand in the industry, the number of features that they have is quite astonishing, to be honest. You usually find that these sorts of sites are pretty limited, but that is definitely not the case.

KaramBOT

This tool crawls the site for bets that might give a little more value to the punter than they’re possibly used to. It takes into account thousands of variables for each game, with a stats-based platform powering it and then highlighting football matches with standout bets. You’re also going to be able to see the rating for the bet, which is essentially it stating how much it likes it and how often they think it comes in.

One of the best things about it is that you can edit it till your heart is content. You can decide which states it takes into account and also the stats that the tips are based on. You can even have it make a sound for when a new bet comes in. It’s not gospel, however, so bear that in mind, but it’s a great tool if you’re new to online betting to see where you can find some value.

Stats

The bookmaker has teamed up with Betradar to power their betting statistics section. This can be accessed with pretty much all sports and comes with a handy little box next to the betting market. It’s not unique to Karamba by any means, but it’s another massive tool to make more successful online bets.

Live Betting Graphics

We touched on the in-play section in the mobile section above, but we have to come back to it here as it’s one of the best tools on the site. There’s lots of it that are pretty standard and they offer a huge range of markets for most sports, but their match centre is something to behold.

Down the right-hand side of the screen, you get a look at where the ball is on the pitch for football betting and also included is their momentum graph. This highlights how much of the play each team has had of late and allows you to see how momentum has shifted throughout the game.

Cash Outs

On top of all this, they include a decent cash out betting feature that is integrated into your bet slip and they have stated how they are looking to implement live streaming at some point, although no sign of this yet.

Registration

Signing up for your account at Karamba will take just a couple of minutes. It’s one of the fastest registration processes that you will find. You will need to include things like name, address, DOB, telephone and then create a username and password to match as well. 

One thing that we did want to note is that when you go to make your deposit you'll be greeted with a message about how safe your funds are. Karamba has medium protection which means that your money is kept in an account that is separate from company funds. So, if anything did go wrong and the company folded, your money would not be part of any insolvency and that you would get your money back. This is a big tick for us! 
To make your deposit, you will need to send in some ID. This will be a passport/driving license plus a utility bill/bank statement for most. It’s very much industry standard now to make sure that the company protects problem gamblers that have been flagged with the GamStop system. This is the second big tick! It’s worth noting that you only need to send this info in once.

Payments and Banking Methods

All in all, there’s a good range of banking options on site. They include Visa and MasterCard as your main options, and then PayPal, Neteller, Skrill and Paysafecard as some of your other options. The majority of your deposits will be made instantly, apart from e-Transfer that takes up to 24 hours and bank wires that can take up to 6 days. 

Withdrawals are processed instantly but may take up to 48 hours when pending in your account. You can cancel a withdrawal within the first 48 hours. Then it will depend on which withdrawal method that you use as to how long it will be delivered. It’s worth noting at this point that not all deposit options can be used to withdraw.

Desktop and Mobile Experience

When you land on the sportsbook for the first time, if you’ve used several bookmakers in the industry before Karamba, then you will likely feel quite familiar with this layout. They take on a tried and tested three-pronged approach, with the sports down the left, a series of betting markets from numerous upcoming events in the middle and then your betting slip down the right.

The search function that has only recently been installed is a triumph and makes jumping from one sport or market to another a doddle. We love to use when putting on accumulator bets that we form of the bookmaker, and then just jump in and find our bets with minimal fuss once logged on. 

There’s no dedicated app for mobile, which is a bit of shame, but you can access the site in your mobile browser to get what would essentially be an “app” layout anyway. It looks amazing on mobile and we would say that it’s better here than desktop. 

The live betting section is sensational, and the match centre works brilliantly well. If there were one negative here, we would say that it was a bit clumsy at time. It’s almost as if it lags a little, so you do need to patient. Once you get used to it, it’s fine though.
