Jackbit Review 2024: Assessing the Legitimacy of Jackbit

Jackbit welcomes new players to their site with a welcome bonus that’s so easy to claim you’ll feel bad you didn’t get them anything: a 100% no risk first sports bet. This promo means that if your first wager is a loser, you’ll receive the entire amount of your wager back again as bet credits, up to a maximum limit of $100, or equivalent. As with all promos, this bonus comes with a few terms and conditions:

• The minimum stake possible to qualify for this bonus is $20.
• Bet credits must be used on wagers with odds of at least 1.4.
• There are no wagering requirements attached to your bet credits but you won’t receive the amount of your bet back again, only the winnings.

Jackbit is a global brand with a few notable restrictions so the bonus may look different in your home area. Have a look at my detailed bonus review for full details and to check out legal alternatives if you’re playing from a region where this type of gambling is restricted, such as the US (my Sleeper review will point you towards a an awesome DFS alternative if you call the States home).

Jackbit has a simple layout that’s been designed for maximum efficiency of navigation. It uses most crypto casino’s favoured colour palette of dark grey/ black background with white and bright green lettering thrown in. This contrast is great because it makes it easy to find things and means that the colourful games stand out, drawing your eye immediately like a well-stocked sweet shop ablaze with colour.

The Jackbit site is available in an assortment of languages to  make sure that it’s accessible. This includes:

• German
• Italian
• Spanish
• Portuguese
• Turkish
• Norwegian
• Japanese

However, while there is an awful lot to like about this site, I do have to take points off my Jackbit rating because of the lack of information on the FAQ page. Usually, an FAQ section is a great resource for players and, from a platform’s perspective, means that there is less demand on their live chat support as simple queries about payments etc. can be addressed there. At Jackbit, it was somewhat limited and, going forward, this is something I’d like to see Jackbit improve.

The sign up process is straightforward and just requires you to enter a username, password and email and agree to the terms and conditions. That means you can be set up and betting all within a few minutes.

Mobile – does Jackbit have a mobile app?

My review found that there is no dedicated Jackbit app available for download onto phones and tablets, as opposed to the N1 Bet app I discovered in my N1 Bet review. But, I didn’t find that the lack of an app impacted my enjoyment of the site at all. The simple layout translates very well to a mobile device and is quick loading and functional, with no lags even when I live streamed some of the sports.

While Jackbit may choose to develop an app in the future, it’s certainly not required to enjoy the site right now.

The next portion of my review considers the strength of the payment processes at Jackbit. Cryptocurrencies are the focus here but like many other crypto first gambling sites, as you’ll know if you had a glance at my BC Game review, Jackbit also appeals to non-crypto bettors by allowing you to buy crypto on the site and use a few fiat methods to make deposits.

Jackbit accepts close to 20 cryptocurrencies from the more prevalent varieties such as Bitcoin, Doge and Ethereum to lesser known coins such as Cardano, Monero and Solana. The main fiat methods accepted are Visa and Mastercard debit and credit cards although other methods are available in specific regions.

Withdrawal requests are processed very quickly at Jackbit. The stated maximum time is one day however most payouts are processed in an hour or even instantly which is brilliant when you’re eagerly waiting for your bet winnings. Minimum deposit amounts vary according to the method you’re using.

Like many gambling sites, Jackbit sets caps on the amount you can withdraw in any seven day period, $25, 000 or its equivalent, and in a month, $50, 000 or equivalent.

There were a few areas in my Jackbit review where the site’s relative inexperience became apparent and customer support was one of them. As I’ve mentioned, the FAQ page is a bit sparse so might not be able to answer all of your questions. The terms and conditions page can be helpful though if you’re wondering how an offer works or which cryptocurrencies are accepted.

If you need help while you’re using Jackbit,  the live chat is open for business 24 hours a day. This is brilliant for punters like me who like to burn the midnight oil while placing bets. Initially, you’ll be greeted by an AI bot, who’ll sort your query into a specific category so as to be better able to solve it. If this doesn’t help then you’ll be quickly directed to a support agent. When I tested this out, the agent responded quickly and was friendly but I would have like a more detailed response. Again, this Ian area I’d like to see Jackbit improve on in the future.

If you face a more complex query then you can use the support@jackbit.com email address but you won’t receive an immediate response.

All players should have security and safety front and centre in their minds when trying out a new online gaming site and it was a key consideration while I was completing my Jackbit review.

First up, Jackbit holds a license from the Curaçao Gaming Control Board. This is standard among crypto casinos and means that Jackbit has shown that they conform to strict standards of safety and fairness including the use of a Random Number Generator to determine the outcome of their games. That means Jackbit is legit and you don’t need to have any worries about playing there.

Is Jackbit secure?

As well as holding a full license, Jackbit uses advanced SSL security measures to guarantee that player’s personal and financial information is protected.

Despite only being established in 2022, Jackbit have already built a strong reputation. They hold an ‘excellent’ rating on Trustpilot and have 78% 5-star reviews. Reassuringly, Jackbit also have several responsible gaming tools in place to let you set limits on your playing, take a break or exclude yourself.

For those looking to become Jackbit regulars, there’s a VIP Club to reward your playing. This is very much focussed around rakeback. Unlike cashback, which is only returned on the amount you lose, rakeback is based on the amount you play with. That means you’re receiving more money back and getting rewards when you win and when you lose.

There are various VIP tiers in the Jackbit programme, all delivering a different rate of rakeback:

• Your level is determined by how much you’ve played and how many points you’ve accumulated. For example, the lowest ‘Rookie’ tier is for players who’ve earnt between 0 and 10, 000 points.
• The amount of rakeback is not the same across the board for sports betting and live casino playing. Those on the ‘Rookie’ level will get 20% rakeback on the casino and sportsbook but between 5% and 10% for live dealer games.
• You can redeem 100 points as $1 but you’ll need to build up at least 500 points, $5, before you can start the redemption process. There are no wagering requirements so your total rakeback is yours to use as you wish.

Beyond the VIP Club, my Jackbit casino review found that there are a regular bevy of special promotions for both casino and sportsbook fans. One of the best of these for esports bettors was the 3+1 free bet promo.

This deal offers one free bet for every three that are placed and settled. Here’s how it works:

• The value of the free bet is worked out as an average of the first three wagers.
• The maximum value of the free bet is $100.
• There are no wagering requirements but, as above, you’ll only receive your winnings rather than the stake.
• Minimum odds for the free bet are 1.4.
• Punters can also unlock more bonuses by signing up to follow the Jackbit socials such as X (formerly Twitter).
