Parimatch

The Parimatch Summary

Welcoming customers from India and around the world, Parimatch offers a fairly comprehensive sportsbook, great online casino and betting on esports as well.

Whilst they don't market themselves as an esports betting site, they do actually offer plenty of it to satisfy most esports fans.

You may not choose them as your primary esports site because they somewhat lack the community often found on dedicated esports betting sites. But if you are looking for a solid sportsbook, with online casino gambling and comprehensive esports betting options, you should definitely check out Parimatch.

Let's take a quick look at the good and bad at Parimatch.

Pros and Cons

Interface and Usability

The Parimatch site takes a little getting used to. The layout is relatively classic with a top main menu to take you to the main sections. On the left-hand side you will find a slim side menu for all the sports you can bet on, esports being one of them. Click on it and to the right an expanded list of available esports to bet on will open up.

It ultimately feels a little bit cluttered but is generally easy enough to navigate and find your way around. The betting options and odds show up in a tidy table, which is clear and user-friendly.

There is quite a bit of scrolling involved, but not so much as to be tedious.

Whilst we found the interface not super modern or very attractive, it does work quite well and is also available via mobile devices in the mobile browser or via dedicated apps for iOS and Android.

esports Betting Offer

The selection of esports you can bet on here is definitely impressive. We have seen far bigger sportsbooks and even dedicated esports betting sites that had fewer esports to bet on.

When we check Parimatch out for you, we found the following esports for you:

• Counter-Strike
• DOTA 2
• League of Legends
• Valorant
• Rainbow 6
• Call of Duty
• Heroes of the Storm
• King of Glory
• Mobile Legends
• PUBG
• Starcraft 2
• Warcraft

Depending on the number of events that are coming up, the coverage for each league is excellent. As such, there wasn’t much available for Heroes of the Storm because few events were coming up. But there were a ton of events listed for Counter-Strike or League of Legends.

The odds available at Parimatch seem to be quite competitive and you are even likely to find special offers such as free bet promotions for esports, which is quite cool.

Types of Bets

No matter which event you will end up betting, the easiest and most straightforward bet available is match winner. It is the minimum that’s on offer for all events, of course.

Pre-match betting will usually also cover bets such as handicap map1, total map 1, imperial total map1, finest total, total odd/even, winning method, total kills and quite a few more. Details will differ depending on the league you are betting on. But some of the more general betting markets are available across esports.

Ultimately, you select your esports, the league you want to bet on and the matches, select your team and add your odds to your betslip. Finally, decide on your stake and either place single bets or parlays.

For most events, the odds were competitive and the selection of markets absolutely satisfactory for most esports betting fans.

Slots and Casino Games

We have mentioned above that Parimatch also offers a full online casino. They work with over 90 casino game providers, delivering a library of over 2,000 games. Most of them are slot games, of course, and we have found plenty of our favourites from developers such as Play’n GO, Thunderkick or Yggdrasil.

The Parimatch casino is not just for casual gamblers, offering a great range of table games such as baccarat, blackjack, roulette, casino poker and massive progressive jackpots such as Mega Moolah.

A live casino with Andar Bahar and Teen Patti tables is also available, and you can find a selection of virtual sports and TV games as well as instant games here.

There really is nothing missing here and Parimatch is a great option even if you are not interested in esports betting.

Bonuses and Promotions

At Parimatch, you get the choice between a sports welcome offer and a casino welcome offer. The sports bonus gives new customers a match deposit bonus of 150% and up to INR 20,000. This must be wagered 8x on sports bets with odds of 1.75 or higher. Unfortunately, we’re not certain whether esports bets are eligible as well.

Alternatively, you can opt for the casino bonus, which looks as follows:

At Parimatch, new customers get quite the welcome bonus when they sign up at the casino. Here are the details:

• 1st Deposit: Deposit at least INR 70 and get 25 Free Spins
• 2nd Deposit: Get a 50% bonus up to INR 10,500 plus 45 Free Spins
• 3rd Deposit: Get a 75% bonus up to INR 17,500 plus 55 Free Spins
• 4th Deposit: Get a 100% bonus up to Rs. 35,000 plus 75 Free Spins
• 5th Deposit: Get a 150% bonus up to INR 42,000 plus 100 Free Spins

This bonus is valid for 30 days and the bonus funds must be wagered 30x in that time before the bonus funds or winnings from it become available for withdrawal.

Whilst Parimatch offers a range of other promotions for sports and casino fans, they had at least one esports offer available as well, which we definitely appreciate. It offered a INR 400 free bets after you place five INR 500 bets on esports events.

Payment Methods and Support

One inconvenience we have found at Parimatch is that you need to have an account before you get further information about deposits and withdrawals. The site does supply separate links for either, but you are prompted to login before you can access them.

Still, at the bottom of the homepage you’ll find a bunch of logos to some of the most convenient payment methods in India. These include:

• Credit cards (Visa, Master)
• e-Wallets
• Mobile payments (PhonePe, PayTM)
• Cash
• Instant banking
• Cryptocurrencies

We would prefer to get full access to all information about banking at Parimatch, but there is also a comprehensive support section that offers further details about deposits and withdrawals.

Here you will find a number of frequently asked questions and you can also peruse the terms and conditions, where more information is supplied.

This may still not be sufficient for you before you are ready to sign up, so you might want to contact the customer support team as well. You will be able to do so around the clock via email, live chat, WhatsApp or Telegram.

Sometimes the live chat can feel stilted, and it does leave you with impression that you get more scripted answers than individual help. We have heard better things about the support via WhatsApp, so you might want to try that instead.

About Parimatch

Parimatch is a bookmaker and online casino from the Ukraine that has been around since 1994. The primarily served CIS countries when they were founded, but have since branched out internationally, welcoming customers from just about anywhere in the world.

Their Curacao license means they are generally legally able to do so and can still be considered regulated, but it isn’t our favourite license, and we would prefer further international or European licenses.

Parimatch is operated by PMSPORT N.V., who holds the Curacao license.

Even without the primary focus on esports betting, Parimatch is a worthwhile consideration, especially since they also offer a solid sportsbook and great online casino experience, making them nearly a one-stop-shop for most of your betting needs.
