Sportzino

Launching in 2023, Sportzino entered the crowded social sportsbook and sweepstakes casino market. The product went live via a web platform and Android app in every US state except GA, ID, MI, and WA. Customers who are of legal betting age in a state where the product is available have access to it.

Through their wide selection of betting markets, including the ability to watch and wager on e-sports competitions, Sportzino has continued its efforts to stand out in a crowded field. On a highly intuitive and well-designed app, customers can switch between the sportsbook, casino, and the product-exclusive “FunPicks.”

FunPicks bring even more excitement to bettors, as they are prediction pools that cover sports, reality TV, pop culture, music, politics, and more. The odds for these pools are not fixed but are based on the number of times a given option is selected. If a bettor makes the correct selection, they will share the winning pool of gold coins with all other bettors who made the same selection.

With strong promotions and betting markets, Sportzino certainly has the ingredients for long-term success. However, over time, it could benefit from a few additions or changes, such as more payment and withdrawal methods and better pricing on standard point spread and point total bets.

Sports Betting Markets & Lines

If there’s one thing that stands out about Sportzino and sets it apart in the crowded social sportsbook market, it’s the sheer number of events, leagues, and games available for betting. Major leagues that dominate most sports betting in the US, such as the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NCAAB, and NCAAF, are fully accessible, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Sportzino offers plenty more popular US leagues and sports, such as golf, tennis, and the UFC. Bettors are not just limited to US-based leagues or sports, though, as they can also find international leagues for basketball, soccer, and hockey, along with sports like cricket, handball, table tennis, motorsports, darts, and even more.

Aside from all of those events, Sportzino is also the best social sportsbook for betting on e-sports. Customers can not only bet on tons of e-sports markets, but they are also able to watch those events live straight from the app or website. Some of the e-sports games that the product offers markets for include Call of Duty, Mobile Legends, Dota2, Valorant, and Counter-Strike.

Bets & Odds

One of the most important things to remember when betting on sports is always to get the best odds. To do that, bettors must price shop across books, and as far as odds themselves go, Sportzino stacks up well among other social sportsbooks. However, the price of those bets leaves a lot to be desired. Many books will price a point spread at around (-110), give or take five cents in either direction. Sportzino, on the other hand, prices most of their spread and total bets at around (-120) or (-125).

Beyond pricing, Sportzino distinguishes itself in the market with the range of betting options available. Customers can find point spreads, totals, and moneylines, and they can also create same-game parlays and bet on team props, game props, and player props, depending on the specific game.

Live Betting

Live betting is fully available on Sportzino and can be done just as it would be on a licensed sports betting app. Customers using the sportsbook will see a “Live” tab as soon as they enter the product. They will also notice that each sport currently featuring live events has a “Live” icon next to it, making it easier to concentrate on just one sport.

Each live event features a diverse range of markets, including moneylines, totals, team totals, player props, and more. Depending on the size of the event, such as an NBA game, customers can also place a live same-game parlay while tracking the live stats for that event.

Sportzino Payment And Withdrawal Options

Sportzino’s payment options for buying coin packages are quite limited. They only accept credit cards, and all purchases must be made with a Visa, Discover, or Mastercard. While most social sportsbook or sweepstake casino users won’t typically find a wide range of payment options, they will typically have the option to pay with more than just a credit card.

While a lot of customers prefer to use e-wallets, debit cards, or online banking to make coin purchases on similar products, for the time being, those options are not available. However, that does not mean they cannot be added to the product over time. As far as withdrawals of sweeps coins go, customers can exchange their premium in-app currency for real cash through either ACH or Trustly. Users can also exchange them for gift cards if that is what they prefer or if that is their only option based on the state they are in.

All users making their first redemption must provide proof of identity, which can include an official ID, proof of residential address, and a bank statement. The processing and completion time may vary, but it is usually done promptly unless it is a first redemption, which historically takes longer.

Customer Service And Support

While the Sportzino customer support team provides 24/7 service, there is only one way to contact them. Live chat is not available to users, so customers looking to contact customer support will need to do so through email.

Customers can email the support team through the “Contact Us” section at the bottom of both the app and web platform. However, if they prefer to solve their problem themselves, they can always access the extensive FAQ section, which is also at the bottom of both platforms.

Clicking on the three horizontal lines on the left side of the web platform will direct you to the Sportzino FAQ page. Once there, customers can scroll through the most frequently asked questions or search to find if their issue or question has been previously addressed. If the FAQ page does not offer an immediate solution, users can also submit a ticket via email to initiate a dialogue with a customer service representative.

Responsible Gaming Tools

The responsible gaming tools available on Sportzino are very much the industry standard. Customers can find the responsible gaming tab at the very bottom of the web platform. On that page, they can find multiple tips on how to practice responsible gaming along with resources such as the Gaming Addicts Anonymous website.

As far as tools go, customers can email Sportzino's support staff to set up an account timeout or self-exclusion period or to permanently shut down their account. Timeout and self-exclusion periods cannot be reversed, and all self-exclusion periods must last at least six months. Customers will also not receive promotional material from the product during a self-exclusion period.

Mobile Betting With Sportzino

With everything available on Sportzino, the app effectively ensures that all features remain easily accessible. Whether customers wish to use the sportsbook, casino, play FunPicks, or explore the latest promos, they can seamlessly switch between options without concerns about the app crashing or lagging.

Both the sportsbook and casino look and function just like licensed ones. Bettors can easily filter different games, leagues, or slot machines. On the sportsbook, bettors can see which bets are boosted for the day at the very top of the page. They can also quickly find a game they want to bet on live, as the absence of unnecessary features makes the product more efficient.

During our testing of both the sportsbook and casino, we found that the product performs well with a stable internet connection throughout a long betting session. Bettors can watch an e-sports match while live betting on it and don’t have to worry about the app crashing after just a few minutes.

Downloading The Sportzino App

The Sportzino app is fully available for download on the Google Play Store for all Android users. However, the product does not have an app version for iOS users, so those customers must use the web platform.

At the time of writing this, Sportzino’s Android app has a 3.9 out of 5-star rating on the Google Play Store.

Web Platform

The Sportzino web platform is not only well-laid out, but it is highly efficient as well. Customers can quickly switch between the sportsbook and casino, both of which are easy to navigate, which is a positive since both of them offer a wide variety of gaming markets.

During our time on the web platform, we did not encounter any issues with lagging or freezing, as the product remained consistent no matter how long we were on the sportsbook or casino. One of the more positive aspects of the web platform, outside of its efficiency and layout, is that customers can browse the promotions page, which makes it easy for existing customers to see what is available.
