1.) The Playzilla Sportsbook

You have all the sports you expect from a traditional sportsbook here. You can bet on football, basketball, baseball, tennis, MMA, soccer and just about every single competitive sport here. Esports are also available, as are social bets on music, entertainment and politics.

Overview of Key Sports in Playzilla

There is a lot of focus on soccer here, although this of course always depends on what season it is. For football and basketball, you have the NFL and NBA as well as NCAA leagues plus other smaller leagues. Esports is well represented with Call of Duty, LoL, CSGO and so on. There is e-soccer, but we didn’t see NBA2K at the time of review.

MoreLess

Betting markets will vary somewhat with each sport, but you can always find the standard betting options like

• win
• result
• over under
• handicap
• first scorer and the likes.

For the major leagues and big games, there are more betting options classified into player markets, quick markets, half-time markets and combination bets.

Example of soccer betting markets at Playzilla

Other sports have their own betting markets. While plentiful, they do seem to be fewer than soccer though. For example, hockey didn’t have any player markets. And if you’re waiting for the NFL season to start, there are also pre-season bets with good odds. NCAA leagues are all available here too.

2.) Playzilla Sportsbetting App

Playzilla is a fully responsive HTML5 sportsbook. Functioning as a website out of your device’s browser, Playzilla will adjust itself to your screen. This means it’s quick and easy to access this bookie no matter where you are. You don’t have to download any app and worry about how much data it will eat up. You can always add Playzilla to your Homescreen for instant access.

The Playzilla mobile design is the same slick and familiar theme as an on the desktop. The nested menus means that the interface is uncluttered and it’s easy to find what you want.

In the top left corner, the menu will let you navigate between different sections of Playzilla. Tap your way from the sportsbook, to live betting, to the casino, live casino, virtual sports, and the various promotions and tournaments.

A menu running across the top horizontally shows you the various sports available. Tap on the sport, and it’ll bring up all the games and matches, with the live ones first and then with upcoming games in chronological order. As with the desktop site, you’ll see the main odds – usually for 1×2 bets – right away.

On the desktop version of Playzilla’s sportsbook, live betting is integrated among all the options. On Playzilla Mobile there is a separate Live Betting section listed in the top left menu for easy access on your phone or tablet so you don’t miss a beat.

3.) Playzilla Live Betting

In the Playzilla sportsbook, sports that have live games happening will have a little blue tag that says live. Select the sport, and all the leagues with live games have the same blue tag. It’s pretty easy to help you drill down quickly to take advantage of the latest odds with in-play betting. Since Playzilla covers sports and leagues across the world, it means punters can cash in on great action around the clock.

Playzilla Virtual Sports

Say it’s off season, and you miss watching the NBA and awesome basketball games. Then you can pop over to the Virtual Sports section at Playzilla and place bets on virtual basketball games. There are plenty of other virtual sports on offer too, including European soccer and the world cup, baseball, and tennis.

What’s really cool here is that there are hyper realistic simulations of the games so it really feels like you are watching a live game. Of course, in virtual sports, fairness is guaranteed through a random number generator (RNG) algorithm so you can be sure it’s not fixed.

The full list of virtual sports at Playzilla is as follows:

• Soccer
• Basketball
• Tennis
• Baseball
• Dog racing
• Horse racing
• Motorsport
• Table tennis

Soccer is especially strong, and there is even a licensed version of the German Bundesliga. Overall though, there are fewer betting markets in virtual sports, with no player markets at all. However, all the main markets like 1×2, half time bets and money line are available.

4.) Odds and Payout Rates at Playzilla

Good odds are the bread and butter for serious punters. To figure out how much of a margin Playzilla keeps and how much is paid out, use the formula (based on decimal odds) below:

1 / ( 1 / “Odds Bet 1” + 1 / “Odds Bet X” + 1 / “Odds Bet 2”) * 100

Multiplying it by 100 turns it into a percentage for easy comparison. The higher the percentage, the better the odds, which means the better the payout.

1×2 soccer bets offer the best odds at most bookies, and it’s no exception at Playzilla. Basketball and American football at Playzilla have especially good odds with payout rates up to 97%.

Odds for soccer are lower but still very decent. For the top European leagues, we calculated a max payout rate of 95%. On the other hand, tennis drops to 94%. If you minus these percentages from 100, you’ll get the bookie’s margin. So for example, for tennis, there is a 6% margin. Generally speaking, the less popular the game, the lower the odds. That’s because the bookmaker can’t afford to take the same level of risk.

The calculations are based on games with the best odds. That means it’s not going to be the same for all games. In live-betting, the odds are swinging all the time to reflect how the game is going.

5.) The Playzilla New Customer Bonus

Many online sportsbooks offer new customer bonuses and Playzilla continues this fine tradition. It’s a great way to boost your bankroll and to try all the offerings with what’s basically free credit. At Playzilla, you get a:

6.) Deposit and Cashout at Playzilla

In terms of cryptocurrencies at Playzilla, the choice isn’t huge, but you can bank with Bitcoin, Ethereum Litecoin and Ripple as well as a few other currencies. So while the selection could be bigger, all the major coins are accepted at this sportsbook.

In terms of fiat though, Playzilla accepts a variety of different payment methods. This includes several local payment methods, like Interac in Canada. Generally speaking, you can count on a variety of credit and debit cards and e-wallets, no matter which country you are in.

Limits vary with each payment method and country, and we’ve given the amounts for Canada below as an example.

Deposits are instant and there are no fees. When it comes to cashing out, Playzilla can take up to 3 days to process withdrawal requests.

Although crypto betting is usually associated with no limit gambling, Playzilla has set the equivalent of $10,000 limits on crypto transactions. It’s also good to know they have set withdrawal limits to $1,500/day, $7,500/week or $30,000 month. These aren’t particularly high limits, but should still be more than comfortable for most people.

7.) Playzilla Customer Service & Help Center

Contacting Playzilla customer service is easy. Their support team is available round the clock through 24/7 live chat, and email is also an option if you so prefer. The live chat icon is always available at the bottom right corner of the screen or through the main menu at the top left corner.

The FAQ section is split into 10 key questions. They don’t go very deep into issues and it feels somewhat thin. Not a deal breaker though because the Playzilla support is easy to reach if you need help.

8.) Security and Fairness: Is Playzilla a trustworthy sportsbook?

Playzilla has a gambling license from Curacao and meets the industry requirements for fairness and security. The company takes privacy very seriously and all communication is secured with TLS 1.2 and data is always encrypted.

Although the sportsbook is still relatively young, it has gained a steady following among punters. Playzilla belongs to the Rabidi and Buton group which operates other sportsbooks such as Sportaza.

Playzilla Sports in Short

The Playzilla sportsbook is a good choice if you’re looking for an online sportsbook that accepts cryptocurrencies and fiat. While the list of coins you can bank with here isn’t particularly long, BTC and ETH, along with Litecoin and Ripple are not an issue. Betting markets at Playzilla are comprehensive, with good football odds.

This isn’t a true crypto sportsbook per se, and we find it a bit of a pity that deposits made with cryptocurrencies don’t qualify for the Playzilla’s bonuses when we wrote this review. There are also transaction limits that high rollers should be aware of. However, the limits are high enough for most people.

In short, Playzilla is a solid choice that offers most punters everything they need.
