Winner Sports Review

Despite its relatively recent launch in 2009, Winner has quickly established itself as one of the best online gambling venues on the market. Its sports offering complements an already accomplished interactive casino, bringing online customers a winning combination of a user-friendly interface and a wide variety of markets.

Software

Winner has chosen to partner with industry-leading developer Playtech for its sports software, providing users with a degree of consistency in terms of layout, graphics and usability between its sportsbook and casino. As with all Playtech-powered offerings, the Winner Sports site offers clear, crisp graphics.

Game Providers

User Experience

Access to the platform is provided exclusively via web browser, meaning that both Mac and PC users can take full advantage of all of its features. Winner Sports provides an easy to navigate layout, making it straightforward for users to find their preferred market regardless of their experience.

The ‘Betting Highlights’ section on the homepage gives players an instant overview of the site’s best deals and most popular bets, while clearly labelled tabs make it simple to switch between different sports and in-play betting options.

As for mobile, there is no dedicated downloadable app for the site. Smartphone and tablet owners can, however, still place bets using their mobile browsers, though the website is not yet optimised for portable devices.

Odds and Prices

Winner’s odds across its whole sportsbook are in line with the industry standard, with its competitive prices in its football, tennis and cricket betting markets standing up well in a comparison with other top online bookmakers. There are also daily ‘enhanced multiples’ available, particularly for football, giving a generous boost to prices on a number of small accumulators.

Betting Options

Gambling enthusiasts can take their pick from a wide range of sports, with 22 different options to choose from, including classic favourites such as football, golf and tennis, plus less typical selections like handball, cycling and Aussie Rules Football. There are even politics and entertainment markets, allowing you to bet on anything from reality TV to the results of the next election.

Winner Sports customers will find all the usual outright winner and handicap markets available on the site, but they can also build up their betting slip with a diverse range of other markets, with football options covering everything from over/under first half goals to the popular goalscorer markets.

The same impressive depth of markets is available for Winner’s other sports, with NHL fans, for example, able to gamble on total goals, and cricket lovers given the option to bet on highest batting partnerships and number of 6s scored.

In-Play Focus

As with the vast majority of top betting sites, Winner offers players the chance to bet in-play across a number of sports, with the majority of its live markets still available right up to the final whistle.

Odds are constantly refreshed and updated throughout the games, keeping users up to date with the latest prices. In addition to currently on-going events, you can also see a list of upcoming matches that will be available to bet on in-play later on in the day.

Promotions

Though there is no specific loyalty scheme, Winner Sports offers its dedicated users a number of exciting promotions, including first deposit bonuses, money back deals and generous accumulator boosters. The site also offers a number of event-specific specials, including exclusive bets on several popular competitions such as the Premier League and Champions League.

Support and Banking

Winner takes its customers’ security seriously, with advanced GoDaddy 256-bit SSL encryption used to ensure that all personal and financial data is kept safe. Should users have any issues with their accounts, however, Winner operates a toll-free telephone support line as well as email and online chat help.

Members can fund their accounts via a wide variety of methods, including all major debit and credit cards, plus online payment wallets such as Neteller and Skrill. Withdrawal methods are slightly less numerous, but there are still enough to satisfy even the most demanding of customers.
