Wallacebet sports review for NZ 2025

I do like to see a wide variety of bonuses. For me, punters must be rewarded for joining and being loyal to the site. So, when I’m looking at giving a score to a site, I look at the bonuses and the range of sports they cover.

Wallacebet does have a really good selection of bonuses. Its first deposit bonus is on par with major players like bet365.

It also compares well against another rival, MyBookie. That bookmaker has a much bigger match deposit welcome offer, with similar wagering requirements of 10x.

One downside I did find was that the Wallacebet bonuses section is mostly around soccer. That’s why my score wasn’t as high as it could have been.

As I noted above, I like to see around 30 sports offered to give a high rating. Wallacebet has 37 in total, so it deserves a very high score.
I liked the way Wallacebet lists the number of markets for each one.

While the main focus is football, with over 999 markets, there are plenty of choices for basketball, American football, tennis and eSports. But, it doesn’t just stick to the most popular sports, offering many niche sports like darts, bandy and curling.

While I was impressed by the number of esports events, plus e-soccer and e-basketball, I was disappointed that there were no virtual sports. BetVictor offers six virtual sports to bet on, including virtual horse racing, virtual greyhounds and virtual football pro. I’d have liked to see these included here and more unusual offerings like virtual drag or marble racing.

Nevertheless, the range of sports, coupled with the huge number of bets that can be placed, has given me a high score. Compared to some of their biggest rivals like Neds, which has 28 sports, it has a well-rounded sports offering. However, the lack of any horse racing ought my score down.

Basketball is also well-covered on this site. There are 346 markets listed at the time of writing. You can bet on all the most famous events, like the NBA, WNBA and NBL, and many tournaments worldwide.

This bookie understands that Kiwis love soccer. It has 999+ events listed and even has a list of all the prominent footballing nations! Many of its promotions are also focused on this sport, which gives punters a good reason to place bets on the Wallacebet site.

Bet features at this site are a bit of a mixed bag. For instance, I like to see a bet builder, as it helps punters put multiple selections from the same game into a single bet and increase potential returns.

While I was pleased to see live bets on offer for a range of sports, unlike rivals PlayZilla, the lack of live streaming here was disappointing.

One thing I did like was the My Bets section. The section loads into the middle of the screen, so it’s easy to see your current bets. Punters can also look up older bets.

Wallacebet is a mixture of reasonable features and a lack of some basic features. I couldn’t give it a higher score, as the features are limited.

Wallacebet does have a cashout feature which is nice to see. This feature lets you close a bet and take your cash out before the game or match ends. However, you’re only able to take out the money in full. Other sportsbooks allow partial withdrawals, which can be useful if you want to hedge your bets.

Unfortunately, this is an area that does let Wallacebet down. It offers a fantastic range of sports, but if the odds are low, then punters will go elsewhere.

With an average payout of just 93.35%, Wallacebet risks me not being able to recommend it. Its average payout percentage for football is 93.61%, so still disappointing given that Sportsbet offers average payouts of 94.4%, which is much better.

I think punters should expect a reasonable return when they make a successful wager, so it’s a shame that this site can’t deliver higher odds.

Another area that didn’t deliver is the boosted odds, which I found hard to find. Most of the centre of the offer is around football, which is a bit of a letdown for fans of other sports. 888sport offers a series of boosts on its promotions page, so it’s easy to see what’s available.

I feel that Wallacebet doesn’t deserve a particularly high score in terms of percentage payouts. The low average payouts and the lack of boosted odds make me feel better sportsbooks are out there.

Overall, I think Wallacebet has done a good job in this area. I like to see around 10 payment method options, so the sportsbook’s nine methods are a good start.

Wallacebet has included a mixture of traditional banking methods like credit and debit cards and bank wire transfers and added the newer e-wallet online banking methods like Skrill and Neteller. However, the newer crypto sportsbooks, like Winz.io, accept even more payment method types, including a whole range of cryptocurrencies.

While I was pleased with the NZ$10 minimum deposit limit, I do find that the minimum Wallacebet withdrawal limit, at NZ$25, is on the high side. Fansbet has a minimum withdrawal limit of NZ$20, which is a bit better.

I also feel that the maximum withdrawal limit of NZ$1000 is too low. However, Wallacebet’s deposit and withdrawal methods are good overall, so I’ve given it a reasonable score in this Wallacebet review.

Having looked at the security on this site, I would give it an average rating. It does hold a licence from the MGA, which is a very good start.

Many of its competitors, like Royal Panda, also hold licences from the MGA. Therefore, it is good to see that Wallacebet can meet that high standard.
I think the security measures Wallacebet has in place are in keeping with industry standards. The 256-bit SSL encryption is adequate but not nearly as high as Ladbrokes, which has 2048-bit encryption.

Considering this sportsbook’s size and relative newness, its security measures are not too bad. One disappointing area is its responsible gambling tools. They are hard to find, and they are quite limited.

I feel like Wallacebet has neglected the support a bit. There is a live chat, which is great, but it’s not 24/7. Also, while the emails advertised as available 24/7, it took a day to respond when I tried emailing.

During this Wallacebet review, when I looked at other bookies, I found that many offer 24/7 live chat. William Hill is a good example of this.

I like that punter can contact Wallacebet via email, but the response time was a little slow, as I’ve mentioned. Stake got back to me in 12 hours.

Therefore, I haven’t been able to give Wallacebet a high score for customer support. It needs a contact number to bring it up to speed with its rivals.

All in all, this is a pretty good site. The platform seems stable, as it doesn’t freeze and loads the live data well.

However, the site feels cluttered and almost as if too much is happening. When I looked at PlayUp, I felt it was much easier.

Also, not having a mobile app is a bit of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it means that punters don’t have to download separate software, but on the other hand, apps tend to run better on mobiles. I like sites like Betway, which allow punters to download an app or use the site in the browser.

Wallacebet has done a competent job of making a site that moves across devices easily and is stable. However, no bells and whistles would make it stand out.
