This Pixiebet review deep dives into the experience punters can expect with this operator.
To help readers determine whether the operator is a good fit, our betting experts look at the pros and cons of this operator in this Pixiebet review.
That includes the Pixiebet welcome bonus, odds value and features, among other things.
Let’s get straight into it all!
For a fuller look at things in this Pixiebet review, we’ll start with the overall look and feel of the site. Unfortunately, this is one of the areas which we found to be a little disappointing.
The main page of the Pixiebet UK sportsbook lists a few of some upcoming fixtures. But we immediately ran into niggly navigation. For example, there is no comprehensive list of matches in the main football link. So instead, we had to dig around a poorly designed menu to find competitions and games.
That immediately limits the user experience and hopes of quick, convenient betting. The lack of website functionality is a recurring theme throughout the Pixiebet site.
After signing up with Pixiebet, there is a welcome bonus which returns £30 in free bets as a bonus. The Pixiebet welcome bonus only needs a minimum £10 deposit, and a maximum of £100 can be claimed from it. Any winnings from the free bet bonus have to be wagered 1x.
We will dig more into the Pixiebet UK sign-up bonus later in this review. However, the overall sports coverage in the Pixiebet sportsbook is decent, with upwards of 25 sports.
The same goes for the market depth for specific events. Easily the best sport for market variety is football, with some of the others falling by the wayside a bit.
A massive miss is that Pixiebet can’t be listed as one of the best horse racing betting sites, as there’s none available.
Another area of lack in the overall Pixiebet sportsbook experience is in the area of promotions - there’s very little bonus play available.
The deposit methods are good, from debit cards to e-wallet solutions. Only a £5 minimum deposit is required, and they don’t charge fees for deposits or withdrawals.
A link to the Pixiebet live chat is available, which is good. The other contact method for support is email, and a brief FAQ section is available too.
In our opinion, it is little more than a basic betting experience that punters will find at Pixiebet UK. That may be enough for beginners, but more experienced punters who like exploring features may feel a little short-changed.
Moving on from some of the Pixiebet FAQs, it’s worth reiterating that we feel the operator is secure.
The Pixiebet experience is legal for UK-based players. Their licensing details from the Gambling Commission are available through links on their site.
They accept UK debit cards, so deposits are easy to make. Furthermore, those transactions are secured by encryption.
So far in this Pixiebet review, we have looked at the main features, deposits and the welcome bonus.
But what about the best Pixiebet features in the sportsbook? We feel there is a good need for features as they can boost the betting experience.
The Pixiebet sports bet builder is not available on all sports and matches, and although it’s not something we use a lot, there clearly could be more of it.
In our experience on the site, bets could be settled early with the Pixiebet cash-out feature. You can check the status of any available cashout offers in My Bets.
There is up to £30 in free bets to be collected through the Pixiebet welcome offer. Those can be played on any sport, so it’s a flexible free bet offer.
The main Pixiebet sportsbook has a Results section that can be filtered by competition, team or status.
The calendar view at Pixiebet sports lets users browse through the upcoming fixtures. We found this helpful as it lists the main market odds for match outrights in a coupon format.
The in-play betting link gets you to the heart of the current action. There’s good variety across many sports, and while live-streaming is lacking, Pixiebet in-play has cash-out and basic current score and stats updates.
Moving on from some of the main sportsbook features, next in this Pixiebet review, it’s time to dig deeper into the coverage.
At first glance, the range of different sports is pretty decent. But the market variety falls a little short compared to bigger bookmakers such as Ladbrokes and Bet365.
Among football betting sites, we would say that Pixiebet is pretty average. However, there’s good coverage from leagues and competitions worldwide, from the Premier League to the Champions League and MLS.
The big NBA action is well-covered in the Pixiebet sportsbook. Punters can also find coverage of the EuroLeague.
Tennis is a big sportsbook area, so there is strong betting coverage. Not only is there coverage of the Grand Slams, WTA and ATP Tours, but punters can also find minor events such as the Challenger Tour.
UFC cards are listed in the Pixiebet MMA section with options like Outrights and Round Betting.
Pixiebet list eSports games individually so that you can see Counter-Strike: GO, Dota 2 or League of Legends, and their coverage is solid.
To our surprise, we found cricket coverage to be quite good. There are international fixtures and domestic matches from the likes of the IPL.
At the time of writing, customers can only get the Pixiebet experience on their main website or through the mobile browser version.
The lack of an app is another slight disappointment, as they are generally quicker and less data-intensive than mobile sites.
On top of that, because the menu navigation is not great, it does make for a slightly cumbersome experience on a smaller device.
Full registration and the Pixiebet sign-up offer can be completed through the mobile website.
There is a Pixiebet Casino for anyone looking to dip into gaming. As far as online casino sites go, the layout of the Pixiebet casino is good - it’s easy to find specific areas.
There are quick links to Table Games, Live Dealer, Instant Games, Megaways etc. The range of options, in our opinion, is strong.
The Pixiebet casino has games from many top providers, including NetEnt and Pragmatic Play. A nice feature of the casino is that players can sort by the type of games.
No software is needed to download to play in the Pixiebet Casino, so things like Roulette, Poker and Blackjack can be enjoyed directly online.
There is also a Live Casino which has a good range of games. So you can get live dealer action not only on different versions of Blackjack, for example, but also on games such as Monopoly Big Baller, Sweet Bonanza Candy Land and Crazy Coin Flip.
Overall the Pixiebet Casino experience is good, with casino bonuses that can also be utilised.
The Pixiebet Casino welcome bonus is a bonus package of up to £500, consisting of three deposit bonuses.
The first bonus is credited when the new account has been fully verified, and a deposit of at least £10 has happened.
1st Deposit Bonus -- 25% up to £100*
From there, two further Casino bonuses can be claimed back also;
2nd Deposit Bonus -- 25% up to £150*
3rd Deposit Bonus -- 25% up to £250*
Now that you have seen enough to sign up for an account at Pixiebet, you may want to consider banking options.
Here is a look at how to put some funds in a new Pixiebet account. In our opinion, the quickest, most secure method is using a debit card.
They also offer instant deposits to an account and qualify for the Pixiebet welcome bonus.
Deposit options are Debit cards, Skrill, Neteller, Bank Transfer, EcoPayz, and MuchBetter.
Some obvious options, such as PayPal and Apple Pay deposit methods, are missing from the list, and £10 is the threshold to trigger the welcome bonus.
Getting winnings out of the account is straightforward - log in and find the Withdrawal link.
Withdrawals can be made from a minimum £5 threshold. Generally, it will take 2-3 working days for a withdrawal to be processed. That’s after Pixiebet has done any necessary security checks.
There is a Contact Us link at the bottom of the Pixiebet page. That brings the customer to a simple page where their contact details are.
Once logged into your account, a Pixiebet Live Chat button can be clicked. Unfortunately, it’s not available 24/7, but a message can be sent outside of business hours.
There is also a FAQ section available on the site. This is basic, just covering some main topics of their services, but none of it goes in-depth.
