1957bet bonuses & promotions

9 / 10

You can easily find three 1957bet sports bonuses, and every single one of them looks worth it.

We start with the win booster bonus, for which the bookmaker offers punters the possibility of betting at any value over GHS 1, with the possibility to gain extra percentages added to your normal gains in case of a winner. There is no maximum stake at 1957bet for this bonus, however, the offer is only valid for ACCA bets.

You can also find a weekly reload bonus, with which you can get up to GHS 500 on your first deposit of the week. The best part of this is that regular gamblers are also eligible for this 1957bet bonus.

Alongside the aforementioned bonuses, 1957bet welcomes players with the following offer:

100% on Your First Deposit of up to GHS 600

This is a valuable welcome offer that can be claimed by any punter who makes a first deposit of the minimum amount of GHS 20. One of the most exciting features of this offer is that the bookie only asks you to rollover your first 1957bet deposit once, with odds higher than 1.50, or 3/2. As long as you can fulfill these prerequisites under their 30-day deadline, you’ll be granted the maximum 1957bet payout of up to 600 GHS.

1957bet Odds & Margins

8 / 10

1957bet Ghana has overall presented comparatively average odds during our tests. This literally means that you can get great deals but also some poor ones.

Football odds can be considered competitive for important games, but quite high for peripheral leagues. Our tests were performed right at the end of the season for most parts of the world, so we focused on margins for Australian and Japanese leagues, which is one of the reasons why football margins have been as high as 8.24%.

Esports odds are not that interesting either, with margins for famous games such as DOTA and Valorant fluctuating between 9.60% and 10%.

The best 1957bet odds were found for tennis, however, scoring around 7.90%.

You can check out our calculated average margins for some sports covered by 1957bet in the table below:

1957bet app for mobile devices

7 / 10

As we were carrying out our 1957bet sportsbook online research, we found that no purposely-developed app is available yet. I know this may sound a bit frustrating to some, but we have good news as well.

It seems like this Ghanaian bookmaker has put lots of effort into building a top-quality mobile 1957bet site that, after taking a peek and testing it, we can confirm that the mobile version is actually better than the desktop.

It is visually way more attractive and its loading features feel much faster as well. It doesn't feel clumsy at all, so they have made up for the app’s absence with a great mobile version.

1957bet Usability & features

9 / 10

1957bet.com has a simple, yet efficient design layout that will give you a decent betting experience.

The 1957bet betting site has everything on point, with the main betting features on the left-hand side of the page, betting markets and lines in the middle, and join/register buttons displayed on the top bar.

  • Limitations
  • No apps

Amongst 1957’s main features we can highlight a few, including cash-out, live betting, and Acca betting. Its mobile version is outstanding as well.

A disadvantage we such point out is the lack of a dedicated app at the moment.

Betting markets

9 / 10

The 1957bet sportsbook has quite an average sports selection, with over 20 available sports for you to lay your wagers on. Esports enthusiasts are also welcome, as the bookmakers offer betting lines for some of the most popular esports in the industry.

As usual, football is the sport the bookmaker seems to focus on the most but, just as we mentioned a few sections above, you can also find quite interesting deals in terms of odds on other sports as well.

For those who like to bet on politics and other specials, however, then 1957bet may not be ideal, as there aren’t any markets of this nature available as yet.

Credibility & Safety

9 / 10

1957bet officially opened its doors back in 2009 and, since then, it’s improved in multiple areas, including security, assuring the complete protection of punters’ personal data.

The bookmaker has a Cura?ao license, which is well-regarded, and provides the legal status to operate in multiple countries in Africa, including their home country Ghana.

Its reputation among Ghanaian punters is also quality, with almost no online complaints against the company, which reinforces its competence in providing local bettors with an excellent overall betting experience.

Payment Methods: 1957bet Withdrawals & Deposits

9 / 10

You have a handful of top-up methods to pick from at 1957bet. Though we’re talking about a Ghanaian bookie, they live up to most global standards and accept the most favoured methods from all over the country.

Deposits

There are about 6 different methods you can use to deposit funds to your 1957bet account. The most common currency they accept is obviously GHS, but they also accept USD. Cryptocurrencies are accepted too.

Withdrawals

Only three methods are currently supported when it comes to withdrawals. These are credit cards, EcoPayz, and local bank transfers. Check out the min/max values below:

Support

8 / 10

Officially, there are two ways to get in touch with 1957bet and address your eventual betting issues with the sportsbook’s support team. These are either via their live chat or through direct email contact.

However, in reality, both will redirect you to their email support.

All you need to do is go to the bottom right-hand side of the page and tap the green text icon. Then, a chat box will pop up, and you’ll be asked to fill out your name, email, and your actual enquiry. Hit ‘Submit’ and wait until they get back to you, which from our experience doesn’t take more than 2 hours.

You can skip this whole aforementioned step by just sending it to their email address directly: [email protected]

Overall, they are really comprehensive and helpful. Thus, we’ve had a positive experience with the 1957bet support.

Conclusion

8.5 / 10

After evaluating each section of this 1957bet review, we can say that we leave with a good impression of the bookie.

It’s true that there’s room for improvement in key aspects, such as with mobile apps, odds that could be a bit better, and their customer support, which is average. However, they make up for these factors with a handful of payment methods for Ghana residents, a great mobile experience, and a top-notch selection of 1957bet sports bonus options.

Overall, we’d say that if you’re based in Ghana, then 1957bet is certainly one of the best options out there.
