- Twenty-nine cryptocurrencies bidirectional
- Twenty-nine languages across interface and support

What we don't
- Sixty-six percent of recent Trustpilot reviews are one-star

22bet
What we like

- 22+ cryptocurrencies + €600K maximum single payout
- Deep cricket + African soccer + esports sportsbook coverage

What we don't
- 50% of recent Trustpilot reviews are 1-star
- Documented 'successful' withdrawals never reaching player banks
- KYC document re-request cascade (birth certificate demand documented)
- Deposit-vs-withdrawal method asymmetry — verified accounts can be locked out
- Operationally parallel to 1xBet (UK license revoked 2019)
- 50× wagering + 7-day window + $7 max-bet welcome (structurally non-realisable)
Verdict: 22bet
22bet takes it on our scorecard, 7.9 to 7.4. That gap is the review math, not a knockout — 1xBit still wins on specific rows above, so check the ones that matter to how you actually play. Full reasoning lives in the 22bet review and the 1xBit review.
