To conduct our research, we focused our attention on the Premier League fixture between Liverpool and Bournemouth, specifically the Full Time market. To access the odds and markets for this game, we clicked on the Football menu, followed by the Premier League tab.
To place your bet, follow the instructions below.
If you’re fortunate enough to win a bet, you’ll be able to make a withdrawal. There isn’t a great choice of withdrawal methods available at LeoVegas, you can choose from Debit card, Bank Transfer, PayPal or Apple Pay. Minimum and maximum withdrawal amounts vary, which we’ll come to shortly.
In addition to this, you’ll only be able to make a withdrawal using a method you’ve previously used to make a deposit.

With any type of betting, it’s so important that your operator of choice allows you to do so safely. To support operators, the British Gambling Commission have released a series of rules and regulations all betting sites must abide by in order to protect their customers.
It’s vital that you stay in control of your money and keep track of how much you bet. There are a variety of tools and guides that LeoVegas provide for their members to help maintain this control.

Betting on live odds is an incredibly popular way of placing wagers. It can offer greater excitement than pre-match betting, with ever-changing odds providing thrilling action throughout the event.
There are some plus and minus points when it comes to betting in-play. Take a look at the table below where we describe some of the positives and negatives.
At LeoVegas the sports which you can bet on In Play include football, tennis, darts, golf, basketball, cricket, esports, handball, snooker, table tennis and volleyball.
To delve into how in-play betting works at LeoVegas, we concentrated our attention on the Premier League game between Liverpool and Bournemouth. Before the game, Liverpool were favourites to win, priced at 1.27, Bournemouth at 9.0 and the draw was 6.4. This gives a pre-match margin of 5.48%. There were 85 separate betting markets, excluding Bet Builder bets.
In-play, there were 69 separate betting markets available. While the game was still 0-0, Liverpool were priced at 1.22 to win, the draw was 6.5 and the Bournemouth win had odds of 9.5. This gives an in-play margin of 7.88%.
At LeoVegas you can live stream:
Football
Tennis
Greyhound Racing
It’s worth noting that although live streaming is advertised, it is rarely available. We were told to visit the Live In-Play tab for all streamed events, but there is a distinct lack of options when it comes to accessing streams. Very few events actually had a stream available.
There’s a good amount of choice with the live betting options at LeoVegas. There’s decent animations so you can follow the play, even when a live stream isn’t available. Talking of live streaming, while this is sometimes an option at LeoVegas, we’ve found more of a variety of live streaming options at other betting sites.
In-play betting margins are generally greater than pre-match, which is disappointing.
While we have come across better apps, the LeoVegas app offers greater functionality and an all-round more enjoyable experience than the desktop site. It’s easier to navigate around the site and place bets using the mobile app, particularly when it comes to searching for specific events.
The app does appear pretty cramped at times, but generally it performed well in our research. Loading times are also much quicker using the app than they are using the desktop or mobile site.
After using both the app and the desktop site, we can safely say the LeoVegas mobile app provides a much more enjoyable experience. The desktop site is pretty cloggy and difficult to navigate through. The app, on the other hand, offers an intuitive, user-friendly experience. There’s greater functionality with the app and is generally much easier to use.
The app is actually a previous winner of the Best Native App award at the EGR Marketing and Innovation Awards.
You can download the app directly from the operator site or from the relevant app provider. Note that if you use the Play Store, the app is entitled Casino app. There is no dedicated Sports app, but you can access the Sportsbook once you’ve downloaded the Casino app.
Get up to £100 extra winnings with your 100% Profit Boost
On the homepage you will regularly find a boosted odds bet, which can be from any sport, and is usually a bet on the main event of the day.
Although not advertised on the homepage of the site our researchers have found they are regularly E-mailed offers from LeoVegas offering Free bets for redepositing and betting, usually a £10 Free bet for depositing and wagering £10.
While LeoVegas do offer a decent sports betting experience, it’s pretty obvious that the Sportsbook takes a back seat to their Casino and Live Casino facilities. There are a good number of sports to bet on, but fewer markets available than many of their competitors.
The desktop site can be pretty frustrating to use. It looks and feels too busy, and is difficult to navigate through easily.
The mobile app is much more enjoyable to bet with, with quicker loading times and easier navigation.
There are some good points to the LeoVegas Sportsbook site, but in reality it’s an online casino trying to do sports, rather than a Sportsbook providing the best possible experience for sports betting customers. We can only give LeoVegas a 2.5/5 rating.
