MayBets website and mobile version

Lyric digression: evaluation of the site that a user accesses after logging in.

This betting site has two main characteristics:

• Navigation is complicated by a large number of buttons leading to narrowly focused entertainment;
• There is essentially no desktop version.

It is a rare and, moreover, a bad combination: as you know, the mobile format should be focused on convenience and brevity.
At the same time, it is worth praising the variety of games available: many sports bets are possible, as well as all classic casino games; live modes and jackpots.
But you don't have to shout about this variety in such a colorful way!

Apps

It would seem: if the site is already optimized for mobile devices, why else would there need to be an app?
The obvious answer is: so as not to burden the phone with additional weight and to be able to open bets without having to search the browser every time.
Unobvious answer: to get a bonus!

1. Download the App directly on our website using the button below;
2. A service alert will appear on your phone's screen. Allow the installation;

Types of sport bets

The variety of sports is not the widest. Nevertheless, it is all very much in demand. Here you can bet on:

1. Let's start with the obvious sport, without which no bookmaker's office can be - soccer! Of course, here you can bet on the games of various national leagues. English Premier League? You're welcome. Spanish La Liga? As many as you like. And the World Cup? Don't pass it by!
2. Sport moves with progress, so you can also bet on a team in e-football. These are essentially matches between two players, each managing an entire team. The main markets are 1×2 and Asian Handicap. By the way! There are several cyber sports championships with favorable bets, such as Cyber Live Arena and GT Sports League.
3. We continue to list the versions of soccer: the American version isn't left out. American football fans can place their bets on NFL, NCAA Division I and NCAA regular leagues.
4. Perhaps the second most popular betting subject after soccer - basketball - is presented here in all its diversity. Also you can find here netball, that was once born out of him.
5. Volleyball has absorbed some features of other games throughout its development - the tennis net, the basketball-like ball; other details were came from baseball and handball. What the result is, you can look!
6. George Bush Sr.'s favorite game - baseball! If you can't wait to show your allegiance to the team, check out this section of the site.
7. Sometimes balls are not what they seem to be - or not what you think turns out to be a ball. As in American football, the shape of the rugby ball is very unusual - watch the games and find the differences.
8. If you once fell in love with Wimbledon and it never let you go, the Tennis category is for you.
9. It's not just balls! You can also run with a racket for a shuttlecock - you can also pay attention to badminton competitions thanks MayBets.
10. Sometimes one sound means a lot: don't mix up cricket and croquet! At least cricket is available on the MayBets site.
11. But don't get disappointed, if you wanted to bet on a stick game and couldn't find a croquet, you can go to the Hockey tab - and catch the puck!
12. Let's say strength and speed are important. What about marksmanship? If you are interested in games that focus on small venues, we recommend betting on a game of Darts.
13. People don't always need equipment for the sport other than a pair of gloves - you can check out the gritty fights in the sections MMA and Boxing.

Please note that live betting is available: unfortunately, this does not mean that you can also watch live streaming, but some matches (soccer, basketball and tennis) are shown on the interactive scheme.

MayBets also doesn't provide the most comprehensive list of markets, but the most popular options are available:

• 1x2
• Double chance
• Over/Under
• GG
• Odd/Even
• Draw no bet

The same can be said about the odds and margin: they are quite average among other bookmakers.

Casino

The easiest way to get to the casino is to find it in the side menu.
Well, in this tab we see a horizontal menu, which is usually strictly categorized for simplicity; don't be intimidated by the large number of them in this row - the additional buttons are just separately highlighted top games of each type.
Essentially you'll find the following types of games:

• Classic slots take us back to the days when mechanical levers and spinning reels were the standard. They usually have three reels with a limited set of symbols and just one payline - you need to match the symbols on the center line to win.
• Video slots have brought many innovations to the gaming industry: colorful design and animations, detailed plots, levels, multiple paylines and bonuses.
• Time-tested table games that have found a place in the online format: Blackjack, Poker, Roulette, Baccarat, loteries, etc.
• Classic crash game we can named an Aviator. What is it? You have a graph showing the airplane on takeoff and take a bet or two before the round starts.Then only look after the lucky plane and cash out before the plane disappear. Your win is multiplying the stake by the coefficient of the lucky plane at the point of cash out. You are lost, if you didn’t cash out before the plane flies away.
• Virtual games - is an opportunity to bet on computer modeled events, unlike classic sports betting, where real games with real teams. Games rely on random number generators and statistical data to represent the course of each game and its outcome. The main advantage of such games is their speed (only a few minutes), no off-season and no human factor as such.
