4raBet Review

With an influx of international betting sites flooding the market, it was only a matter of time before a local sports betting site popped up. 4raBet is a site that gives all of its attention to the Indian market and accepts players from India only.

The good thing about this approach is that Indians will find the site extremely easy to use. The entire site is laid out in a manner fit for the Indian audience. With a lot of international betting sites, you get the feeling as if India was an afterthought and their main is to still grab as much of the European audience as possible.

4raBet Site Layout

Talk about knowing your audience, 4raBet is a site that is fairly simple to look at. It does away with fancy graphics and gimmicks in favour of a more toned down approach. We will go as far as to say that the site feels old school which is not necessarily a bad thing. Too many online casinos and sports betting sites distract the player with unnecessary gimmicks, mascots and promotions that distract the player from the main agenda i.e to place bets on the site.

4raBet is unashamedly Indian and allows you to test their luck and skill on local and international cricket matches. This is not to say that cricket is the only product on offer. You have a wide range of sports to bet on which we will touch upon later in the 4raBet review.

At 4raBet, you get to see the main offers listed at the top of the site and underneath are your live betting markets. That’s it. You get to choose the sport or event you want to take part in and off you go. While most sites display their menu on the top of the page, 4raBet choose to go down the other route and displays all the options available at the very bottom. These include options for betting such as live betting, pre-match betting and casino related ones as well including roulette.

The aim of this site is to keep you entertained at the top of the page so that you can choose the event and be on your merry betting way. No need to search or fiddle your way through tons of menus and options.

Welcome Offers at 4raBet

When it comes to a welcome bonus, 4raBet offers a first deposit bonus up to 200% which is quite generous.  The maximal sum of the bonus is 20 000 rupees.

Cricket Betting at 4raBet

It would be fairly disappointing if 4raBet did not provide extensive coverage on India’s most popular sport. Thankfully, the team at 4raBet are aware of cricket’s popularity in their home country and provide players with all the latest matches, series to bet on. This means that tournaments such as the Indian Premier League (IPL), ICC World Cup and other series both local and international are extensively covered here.

As a player you will find a whole range of markets to bet on including ‘method of dismissal’, ‘best batsmen’, ‘match winner’ to name but a few. All in all, there are roughly ten different sports that you can place bets on which pales in comparison to other bookmakers but once again, the main focus is on cricket. While the ability to bet on obscure sports is a good option, realistically very few Indians will ever have a go at placing bets on sports such as ice hockey.

The good news is that regardless of whichever sport you end up choosing, you will have access to highly competitive odds. We were surprised to find that a newcomer such as 4raBet was able to go toe to toe with regards to odds with the likes of giants such as Betway and 10Cric.

Casino Game Selection at 4raBet

If you have had your share of cricket betting and want to venture into the world of online casino, then 4raBet have you covered there as well. The bookmaker provides a decent collection of casino games such as roulette, poker, baccarat and blackjack.

While some of the more popular game studios are missing, the bookmaker has made enough of an effort to satiate your casino gambling needs. There is even a live casino section powered by the well-respected games provider betgames.tv.

Banking Options at 4raBet

This is probably the only area where we found 4raBet to be lacking. While other bookmakers spoil you with a plethora of payment methods, 4raBet provides you with just three. In comparison, a bookmaker such as Betway currently offers more than twenty!

The three payment options are all e-wallets and include PayTM, Neteller and Skrill. You have most likely come across PayTM who have cemented their place as a giant when it comes to payment gateways. Their popularity is mainly attributed to them providing a digital wallet for their customers. This means you never have to reach for your credit or debit card and can simply use your smartphone for making deposits at the cricket betting site. You can also use the same method for withdrawing as well.

Both Neteller and Skrill are favoured by the online gambling community. Both offer speed and simplicity when depositing funds. More importantly they also provide their users with bespoke offers that can be availed at the betting site.

Mobile and Betting App

The simplistic nature of the site is carried over to the mobile site as well. 4raBet is aware of the connectively issues that most Indians face when using their smartphone. This coupled with the fact that not everyone is holding the latest iPhone in their hands. As a result, the relatively light design helps the bookmaker in attracting and retaining players. The mobile site seems very similar to the desktop in nature and works quite well on nearly all the smartphones.

4raBet App

If you however are not keen on using your browser, then fear not as 4raBet have a mobile app as well. As long as you do not confuse the 4raBet app with that of bet365 you will be pleasantly surprised. The app like its mobile and desktop counterpart is simple to use and less draining on your mobile bill. Best yet, it can be downloaded for a range of operating systems!

If you are currently rocking an Apply iPhone, then you need to head to their app store and search for the 4raBet app specifically. Next step is to download the app, create and account and place your first cricket bet!

Android users are also catered and can access the app by searching for it on the Google Play Store. Now since Google has banned all gambling related apps, you will have to go through a more convoluted route to access it. You will need to search and download for the 4raBet apk. Don’t let the word ‘apk’ scare you off. It simply means and once download you will be able to access all the content.

Customer Support at 4raBet

Despite the ease of use, it is quite possible that you might run into some issues or simply might have some questions to ask the customer support team at 4raBet. The customer support team can be accessed either via email or live chat. Emails normally take a few days to be answered by the professional customer support staff.

If you are in a hurry and want immediate answers, then we would recommend getting in touch via live chat. You can find the icon for live chat in the bottom right hand corner on the site. Once clicked you are greeted by a knowledgeable member of staff who will aim to answer your questions accurately and as quickly as possible.

Our Verdict

As we had mentioned at the very start of the review, 4raBet is a bookmaker that ticks all the boxes  in a simple yet effective manner. As long as you keep your expectations in check, you will find a product that is easy to use. All of your favourite sports such as cricket and football are well represented here. The lack of bells and whistles means you can go straight into what is important i.e online betting.

As they have been live for only a couple of years, it is expected that their product will improve with the passage of time. This means that the extras that normally accompany other bookmakers are going to make an appearance at some point. The 4raBet mobile app is decent and can be accessed by a range of operating systems. The mobile site does a decent job of displaying all the information in a logical manner.

We strongly feel that this is a betting site worth keeping an eye out for. You should create an account NOW as the site is perfect for cricket betting. If you have still have questions, then we have created an FAQ section that can be found below.
