Planet Sport Bet Review

Planet Sport Bet odds are firm but not magnificent. We calculated the payout percentage of Planet Sport Bet odds to be 93%. This means the Planet Sport Bet bookmaker takes a 7% margin from the odds on average. The brand odds are industry standard. According to our calculations, the RTP from the first ten EURO 2024 games was 92.80%. Variations between RTP:s were from 93,54% to 90,96%.

The so-called "Planet Boosts" for specific matches add a little extra spice to the odds. As the name suggests, these betting odds come with an extra boost. For instance, in the friendly match between England and Bosnia & Herzegovina, Declan Rice scoring was boosted from 4/1 to 5/1 odds. It's worth keeping an eye out for these enhanced price offers.

At Planet Sport Bet, you can place bets on over 20 different sports. Whether you prefer horse racing, football, tennis, motorsports, or golf, you'll find all these events at Planet Sport Bet. For each match, you can bet on numerous markets; if that's not enough, you can create your own bets using the "build a bet" feature.

I must mention the Virtual Sports section. Planet Sport offers a wide selection of virtual sports events, with a dedicated section for this category prominently displayed on the site's top banner. There are also numerous promotions available for virtual sports events that you can use if desired.

With Planet Sport Bet, you can cash out your bets before an event concludes. The cash out option is available for all major events, keeping you in control. If your bet is shaping up nicely and your instincts tell you it's time to secure your winnings, you can lock in a profit by cashing out rather than waiting until the end. This allows you to take advantage of favourable situations and walk away with guaranteed returns instead of leaving everything to chance.

The sportsbook caters to players with abundant in-play betting opportunities, with odds that are equally competitive as those offered for pre-match betting.

When you go to the in-play section from the top banner, you may not see all the live events that are currently happening or about to start. For example, when I tested it, the in-play section only showed tennis matches, even though a greyhound race was ongoing simultaneously, and another one was about to start in two minutes. It's better to check the live betting options for greyhound and horse racing directly from their respective sections.

Live Streams

In addition to good live odds and markets, Planet Sport Bet offers live streams and in-play animations to support live betting. The sportsbook does not provide live streams for every sport, but you can watch all UK & Irish horse races as high-quality free streams on the site.

For other top sports like football and tennis, you can watch in-play animations showing the matches' progress and real-time events. Of course, this does not serve you in the same way as live streams, but the animations provide valuable insight to support live betting.

The Planet Sport Bet app is available for download from both the Google Play and Apple App Store. However, the app hasn't received many stellar reviews or massive download numbers, and there's a good reason. Planet Sport Bet works brilliantly through the mobile web app on smart devices, eliminating the need to download a separate app.

The mobile browser smoothly handles browsing the sportsbook, opening an account, and placing bets. The user experience is quite pleasant, and the calm, dark blue colour scheme makes navigating the site easier. I don't see any reason why I wouldn't place a bet with Planet Sport Bet on mobile.

Planet Sport Bet serves its betting customers comprehensively but with relatively conservative payment methods. You can make deposits and withdrawals with bank cards such as Visa, Mastercard, and Maestro. In addition, you can transfer funds in both directions via online bank transfers and make deposits with the classic check method.

Here is a breakdown of banking methods: 

These familiar and safe payment methods serve a large portion of bettors. Still, I hope that Planet Sport Bet offers the possibility to make deposits through alternative methods. If you are, for example, interested in prepaid payments and sportsbooks that support them, we recommend checking out the following publications:

• Paysafecard betting sites
• Neosurf betting sites

You could call Planet Sport Bet's withdrawal times classic. The golden rule for withdrawing to bank cards is 1-3 working days and 3-5 days for bank transfers. In practice, these transfer times usually fall within these ranges, and in our test, a small amount was withdrawn from the gaming account to a Mastercard in around 48 hours.

• Mastercard: 1-3 working days
• Visa: 1-3 working days
• Maestro: 1-3 working days
• Online Bank Transfer: 3-5 working days

Planet Sport Bet's customer service solutions could be better. First, the FAQ section must be more extensive and include a search function. Second, the only way to contact customer service employees is via email.

Of course, the website provides links to its social media channels. You can forward your concerns through private messages, but these are not actual customer service channels.

Planet Sport Bet Live Chat

Unfortunately, Planet Sport Bet does not offer live chat customer support. The lack of live chat is an evident shortcoming that the brand should address and invest in to improve customer satisfaction.

• Email support: ✅
• Live support: ❌
• Phone support: ❌

Planet Sport Bet conducts a Know Your Customer check for its customers, like every other trustworthy and proper UK betting site. This KYC process aims to ensure that you, dear bettor, are of legal age and precisely who you claim to be.

You can verify your identity with, for example, these documents:

• Bank statement with address displayed
• Payslip with address displayed
• Certification from bank
• HM Revenue and Customs letter
• Contract or bill from a utility supplier with address displayed
• Passport
• Drivers Licence

The sooner you complete the verification and provide the KYC documentation, the more likely your betting account will remain open, and you'll be able to withdraw your winnings without delays.

Planet Sport Bet is a safe sports betting site. The brand has strong encryption on its website and keeps customer information private from third parties. The UKGC license ensures you can trust Planet Sport Bet as a safe and reliable bookmaker.

The sportsbook also takes responsible gambling seriously. The site reminds you that gambling should only be for fun and should not dominate your life. You can assess your gambling behaviour using the questionnaire on the site, and Planet Sport Bet also offers self-regulation tools.

Planet Sport Limited owns Planet Sport Bet. It is part of a large Planet Sports Group that also owns sports media like TeamTalk, Tennis365, and Planet Football.

Planet Sport Bet is a safe betting site with a good reputation. It operates under a UKGC license.

Withdrawing from Planet Sport Bet takes around 48 hours on average, but the final withdrawal time depends on your bank.
