Dafabet Review 2024

Given their eagerness to sign sponsorship deals, the Dafabet logo is likely one you have seen before. Although I was familiar with the name, I had not tried out their services before. Initially, I thought their website was a little messy, but the more time I spent, the more I appreciated what was on offer.

Pros and Cons

Who Is Dafabet Best For?

Dafabet is great for players interested in certain sports such as cricket, football and basketball due to the top promotions and great odds available. Any virtual sports fans are also sure to be impressed with the range of games and related deals available.

Dafabet is less suited towards players who value a top mobile experience, as you cannot access everything Dafabet has to offer on one app.

Sports Betting Coverage

At Dafabet, slightly confusingly, there are two separate pages for sports betting. You can either place bets on the Dafa Sports platform or the OW Sports page. The latter is the more advanced version, offering more features and customisation. There is a large amount of overlap in terms of their coverage of major sports, but both offer some different minor sports. When combining the lists, Dafabet covers a satisfactory list of sports, and it is around the same level as other large bookmakers available in India.

• American Football
• Basketball
• Boxing
• Cricket
• Cycling
• Darts
• Football
• Golf
• Handball
• Ice Hockey
• MMA
• Motor Sports
• Rugby
• Snooker
• Tennis
• Volleyball
• Baseball
• MotoGP
• Politics
• Specials
• Table Tennis
• Badminton
• Bowls
• eSports
• Field Hockey
• Formula 1
• Futsal
• Motorbikes
• NASCAR
• Netball
• Olympic Games
• Pool
• Squash
• Virtual Sports
• Water Polo

Cricket

On both the Dafa Sports and OW Sports pages, Dafabet provides extensive cricket coverage. They provide odds for international and domestic action occurring all over the world, never missing a major fixture. They provide a solid range of betting markets across the bulk of fixtures, too, in addition to helpful match stats, which you can view pre-game and live.

Football

Given that Dafabet sponsors multiple football teams and organisations, football is a sport they focus on. They are committed to covering so much action and not just for the most popular leagues and competitions. With Dafabet football, you can also bet on many low-profile fixtures scheduled across the globe.

eSports

With eSports growing in popularity as a spectator sport, it is something more people want to bet on. The most popular eSports games include League of Legends, Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, Valorant and Rocket League. You will find all these and others on Dafabet. For most eSports clashes, Dafabet is good at providing additional betting markets. For much of their eSports coverage, Dafabet (on the OW Sports page) provides a huge number of additional betting markets.

Virtual Sports

Not to be confused with eSports, virtual sports is simply computer-simulated sporting action. The main benefit of virtual sports is that they run 24/7, and matches/races finish quickly, so it can be a convenient way to bet. Dafabet boasts a huge collection of virtual sporting events as they have partnered up with eight separate software providers. This means customers have a great deal of choice no matter if they want to bet on virtual football, cricket, tennis, racing and so on.

Betting Markets, Odds and Margins

When betting at Dafabet Sports, you will regularly find better odds on the ‘Dafa Sports’ page rather than the OW Sports page. Sometimes, the difference can be quite substantial, too, so it is worth checking before placing your bets. With OW Sports, it is not too rare to see payout percentages below 90%, which does not represent good value for money. The superior odds typically found on the Dafa Sports page, though, boost the average percentage up. Here, it is not unusual to see markets with a 95%+ payout rate, making them extremely competitive.

As for the available range of markets, Dafabet generally provides a good deal of choice across major sports. The number varies, though, depending on whether you are on the OW Sports or the Dafa Sports page. If the selection appears small, it is always worth checking the other platform for more options.

Dafabet Live Betting

The first thing that impressed me about Dafabet’s live betting was the number of fixtures they cover on the OW Sports page.

Admittedly, the number is slightly inflated as it includes Saba Soccer and Saba Basketball, but there is plenty outside of this.

The Dafabet interface enables you to place bets quickly, which is a big advantage when betting in-play.

Dafabet does sacrifice some aesthetics to have this betting simplicity, though, as the live betting pages are very plain in appearance.

Back on the Dafa Sports page, here is where you will find the brand’s live streaming capabilities. They offer a large number of streams and even give you a full daily schedule of what will be on.

Dafabet Top Betting Features

Here are some of the features Dafabet users can take advantage of when betting on this site:

• Bet Builder – Dafabet’s bet builder features on their Dafa Sports page and goes by the name ‘Superbet’. If visible within the market categories, the Superbet allows you to combine various markets from within one match. This enables customers to have a single-match accumulator that is fully tailored to them. It is an extremely easy-to-use feature and one that is well-presented too.
• Cash out – Dafabet does offer cash out but in a limited capacity. Their system offers cash out for some live events depending on various internal factors. This is why you will see some live matches feature the yellow dollar button but not others.
• Live streaming – Dafabet does offer live streams for a considerable number of in-play matches, and to view, you just need to have money in your account. Streams run smoothly, and you can have them running down the side menu, allowing you to place bets easily at the same time.

How to place a bet at Dafabet

No matter if you place a bet on the OW Sports or Dafa Sports page, the process is very similar.

1. Use the search tool (magnifying glass) or menu options to find the sporting event you want to bet on.
2. To reveal all markets, click the number on the right-hand column (Dafa) or the number in the bottom right (OW).
3. Click on the odds of the market you want to bet money on.
4. On the betslip, enter the stake in the relevant bet type box.
5. Submit your bet.

Dafabet Casino – Top Games and Features

Dafabet’s casino games are provided by over 35 software developers, meaning they have a huge collection to select from. Thankfully, they make it easy to search through their extensive game library. Down the left-hand menu, users have various filter options such as feature, theme, paylines and provider.

The ‘Games’ page only consists of slots, however, rather than other casino games. To access other game types, you will need to head to the ‘Arcade’ page. Here, you can play crash games, money wheel, bingo, lottery, roulette and others. While the selection of slots is fantastic, the choice for other game types is, unfortunately, more limited.

The PT+ plus page also features over 100 casino games, which were created by industry giant Playtech. Live casino games do feature on this page, too, but Dafabet has a dedicated Live Dealer page with even more options.

With providers such as Evolution, Pragmatic Play, Asian Gaming and Playtech powering the live casino, the choice is exceptional. Players can try their luck on the likes of roulette, blackjack, baccarat, game show style games, plus plenty more!

If you are big on casino gaming, be aware that Dafabet has a welcome bonus for the first casino deposit.

Mobile Gambling Options – Is There a Dafabet App?

Dafabet has three mobile applications, two sports betting (Dafa and OW), plus a separate casino app. This makes it more inconvenient than the desktop site as you do not have everything in one place. Smartphone users can, however, use the Dafabet mobile site (Dafabet net), which features all the brand has to offer.

In some areas, the apps provide a better experience than the mobile site. The OW app, for example, is very user-friendly and superior in appearance. The Dafa app, on the other hand, is a little clunky and harder to navigate. I would highly recommend the OW app and the casino app, but for Dafa sports bettors, I would opt for the desktop site where possible. This is unless you want the ability to bet from anywhere.

Dafabet Registration Process and Account Verification

You can set up a user account very quickly at Dafabet India; just follow these steps.

 

1. On the Dafabet homepage, click ‘Join Now’; this will load the registration form.
2. Complete all fields of the registration form, including your name, date of birth and mobile number.
3. The only optional element is uploading ID if asked. You are not obligated to upload a photo ID during registration. You may need to provide it at a later point, though.
4. Once entered, click ‘Create Account’ at the bottom. Immediately after, you will see a welcome message outlining details of the first deposit bonus.

 

It is as simple as that; now, you will have your Dafabet account with the username you selected.

Dafabet Login

To log in to your account, just enter the Dafabet username and password you created during registration. You can do this across the top menu of the website or after tapping ‘log in’ on the mobile site/app.

There are ‘can’t login’ and ‘forgot password’ links should you need a reminder for either your password or username. Both require your registered email address, so if you cannot remember this, you will need to speak to customer support.

Dafabet Welcome Bonus up to INR 30000

At Dafabet, there are two sports betting welcome packages to select from, as shown in the table below. New customers can either pick from a better conversion or a greater amount (and lower wagering). It is a nice choice to have, although even the 10x wagering (bonus AND deposit) is a high amount for such an offer when compared to others. That said, Dafabet does give players a generous 45 days to complete this and has a low qualifying odds requirement of just 1.5. So, on the whole, this is a reasonably good welcome bonus.

Dafabet VIP

Dafabet’s VIP scheme is open to all. You just need to opt-in on the VIP page to start collecting the Bronze rewards. The four-tiered program comes with a variety of perks that increase with each rank. The betting requirements for the ranks above bronze, though, are extremely steep, meaning only a small minority of players will reach them.

For most, you will just enjoy the relatively small number of bronze benefits on offer. These include cashback on casino games, rebates on parlay & virtual sports, NBA cashback and a 25% Dafa sports reload.

Dafabet Compared to Other Bookmakers

Dafabet does not have some of the standard benefits the other big names have. It does not have a website that looks as modern as bet365’s, nor does it have quite the same level of choice as 1xBet.

Dafabet does manage to stand out a little through other means, though, such as virtual sports and promotions. Their various 10% cashback deals offer great value for money and beat anything most rivals can offer.

Payment Options – Deposits and Withdrawals

At Dafabet, customers have five wallets they can deposit into (OW Sports, Dafa Sports, Casino, Common, PT+). You must decide which wallet to deposit into each time you pay, but you can transfer funds around afterwards.

Dafabet supports several fiat currency options, such as credit/debit cards, e-wallets, bank transfers, and cryptocurrency deposits. There is generally no charge for withdrawals, but a processing fee may apply if you are withdrawing while you are wagering a bonus.

Dafabet processes withdrawals during Indian banking days. Once approved, transactions tend to take between 1 and 4 days to appear in your account. For me, I tend to opt for e-wallet payments as these tend to take the least amount of time. Deposits are usually instant.

How Helpful is Dafabet Customer Support?

There are several ways of getting help at Dafabet. You may contact them via email (help@indiacsonline.com), telephone, social media, or their live chat system. My experience with customer services was mixed. At times, I faced a long wait for a response, but on other occasions, a friendly customer service rep was immediately available to assist me. Additionally, while the live chat system was open 24/7, the telephone service was down for maintenance for an extended period.

So, while not consistently fast, Dafabet support does always seem to provide quality help and advice.

Security and Licensing

Dafabet had a dedicated page outlining the security measures they had in place. Although it largely talks about cookies, they do mention that all information is protected by encryption technologies. Additionally, Dafabet stores data using the latest firewall technologies.

Dafabet warns players to be careful about copycat websites that attempt to maliciously trick users. To help you spot a fake website or communication, you can visit this link.

The India-facing website of Dafabet operates using a Curacao gambling licence (8048/JAZ), which is standard for the country.

Dafabet Responsible Gambling Features

Dafabet has some general advice on gambling responsibly on their ‘Responsible Gaming’ page. This also includes details of the two measures they have in place to protect vulnerable customers. Players who are struggling to control their spending can self-exclude themselves or permanently delete their accounts. In both cases, a player just needs to get in contact with the customer service team.

Users can also opt-out at any time from receiving promotions, updates and offers from Dafabet. All you must do is untick the option within your account settings.

User Experience and Feedback

Most feedback relating to Dafabet.com online is not favourable. The reviews you can read are mainly negative, typically relating to withdrawals. Although it is easy to become alarmed reading these comments, remember that this is only a tiny fraction of Dafabet users. Customers very rarely make an effort to write online that their withdrawal went through as normal.

Some of these complaints may be legitimate, but Dafabet is not a scam website, as some reviews suggest. They are a long-standing brand that has penned sponsorship deals with major organisations and elite-level sporting clubs. Most of their users have a good time betting online, which is why Dafabet has been in business for so long.

History and Background of Dafabet

Dafabet is a Philippines-based betting brand that began in 2004. They generally operate in Asia, which is why they support so many Asian languages like Bahasa Indonesia. More recently, they have branched out to Europe, including the United Kingdom. The company has enjoyed real success over the past two decades and now employs over 1,000 workers, many of whom are based in their headquarters in Makati, Philippines.

A key part of Dafabet’s success and expansion has been increasing brand awareness through sponsorship deals. They have been particularly fond of forming agreements with English football clubs. The company has been a betting partner or main club sponsor of Everton, West Bromwich Albion, Celtic, Burnley, Sunderland, Bournemouth and more!

Our Verdict and Rating – Why You Should Bet at Dafabet

Although I’m not a big fan of the Dafabet website design/structure, there are a few reasons why this is a brand worth trying. Firstly, their odds can be very competitive, with payout percentages close to the top industry levels. Secondly, they are extremely good when it comes to virtual sports, offering an excellent range of options and having promotions linked to them.

Promotion is an area where Dafabet generally stands out, too. Although you will find better welcome offers, their deals for existing players made me feel like I was getting good value for money.

Nostrabet’s final rating for Dafabet India is 4.4 / 5.
