Our Verdict
Solely considering the casino, it cannot compete on the same level as the leading brands that cater specifically to attract the attention of casino afficionados. That fact is clearly evident from the total lack of casino bonus offers and host of specials aimed at sports bettors. However, in most other forms of services, features, and the quality of their gaming library MBET’s casino section still has the potential to deliver a premium player experience.
