About Meta Betting
Meta Betting is an independent betting and casino site that’s the best of “brand-new” and “well-established.” How do I reconcile these seemingly opposite labels?
For you, the vociferous player who’s looking for an exciting new online casino, that’s independently licenced (Clarkson Bell LTD), Meta Betting is the perfect product. It’s powered by Swifty Global, who’s technology powers their flagship brand, Swifty Sports. This is powerful new start-up betting and casino technology. This coupled with the completely unique licence, and the generous casino welcome offer, makes Meta Betting particularly novel.
But there’s not just novelty. Meta Betting is the innovative online arm of Telephone Betting, which is a brand that does exactly what it says on the tin! Regency Group Betting, the parent company, is one of the UK’s oldest independent bookmakers. Telephone Betting’s customer dedicated phone betting hotline, which helps bettors curate their bets with a real expert, human bookie is a service that’s also available to Meta Betting players!
Now do you see why this site is possibly the perfect blend of “new” and “established?”
How the Brand Earned its Rating
- Offer Quality – 5/5 – Starting off strong, I’ve awarded five out of five for Meta Betting’s casino welcome offer. It’s simple to wrap your head around; just deposit and play on Dead or Alive and you’ll receive no wagering free spins on the same slot. Generous no wagering offers are strangely harder to find than ever, so this one is a bit of a peach!
- Game Choice – 4.5/5 – There’s no bingo, but apart from that Meta Betting comes quite close to securing full marks for the game selection. The Swifty-powered Sportsbook includes a real-time In-play section with all the major sports that are taking place RIGHT NOW across the world. They also offer odds on a fantastically diverse range of sports. Then, there’s the slots selection, drawing from almost a dozen providers, and the live casino, powered primarily by Evolution and Pragmatic Play.
- Payment Methods – 3.5/5 – Currently, there’s no way to deposit with e-wallets, which is frankly pretty common for independent sites like this. If maximum variety of payment methods is your thing, you’d be better off at a big network site.
- Navigation – 5/5– The casino navigation is *Chef’s Kiss.* I’ve barely seen a more user friendly interface, firstly split up into Casino and Live Casino. The way the main casino section is split up into navigable and digestible categories is so clever. There are over ten of these categories! I’ll go into a bit more detail in the Games Available section.
- Customer Support – 5/5 – Access to the Telephone Betting Hotline is what really gives this the full monty! A personalised human to human betting service in this day and age… what could be better! We’ve listed the number up at the top of our review!
Bonus & Promotions
The casino welcome is a generous and fair no wager spins offer that is simple to wrap your head around; deposit and play on a slot and receive your reward on the same slot. The current reward slot is Dead or Alive: Wanted; though this is a classic slot that many casino players will have come across over the years, it’s quite an unusual welcome bonus slot these days! Another reason why Meta Betting is perfect for those players with an independent streak.
The site also has a strong looking ongoing promos section, in both the casino and the sports arena. For the latter, there are various ACCA and betting boosts. The main ongoing casino promo is a weekly spins offer. Provided you’ve deposited and played through enough money throughout the week, you’ll get rewarded with 50 free spins on a specific slot!
Games Available
As I explained in the How we Rated section, the casino navigation is particularly excellent. There’s a search bar, and you can filter by provider. However, I especially wanted to draw attention to the different funky categories of game you can drill down to. To give you a full sense, I wanted to list some of them here:
- Top 10 Games this Week
- Rainbow Riches
- What’s New
- Game Shows (Live Casino)
- Dynasty Lounge (Live Casino)
- Most Played
- Crash Games
- Cluster Pays
- Scatter Pays
- Arcade
- + more!
Beyond the casino, I’m also very impressed with the bespoke sportsbook from Swifty, as I mentioned in the How we Rated section. It is simple, navigable and well laid out, while also being a powerful new product in the industry!
Final Thoughts
Meta Betting truly is the best of both worlds; new and established. If you’re looking for an exciting new site that sits on a brand-new licence with a new platform too, it’s perfect. If you want a bit of human touch with a dedicated betting hotline from one of the UK’s most established independent bookmakers, you can have that too. Meta Betting shows you can have it all!
