Fairspin Sportsbook Review

One of the few disadvantages at Fairspin is that there aren’t any active promotions on this site. Certain bonuses are featured, but they only apply to the casino section; they don’t apply to sports betting.

Welcome Bonus

The welcome bonus featured at Fairspin doesn’t apply to sports bettors. Only casino gamers can claim it. As such, there was no welcome bonus that I could claim on this platform to place a sports bet.

Spin the Wheel

The only promotion for sports bettors at Fairspin is the Wheel. This is a no deposit bonus and you can spin it once every day. Most of the rewards are tokens, which are native to the platform. The maximum amount that you can receive is 10,000. You can use these tokens to exchange certain loyalty benefits.

VIP Program at Fairspin

According to the customer support team, sports bettors can also benefit from the loyalty program. We couldn’t find any specific info on that when opening the loyalty program page, but the loyalty scheme goes as shown below.

You can earn tokens for both winning and losing bets. Additionally, if your losses surpass your winnings, you can receive a cashback to your real/bonus balance. Once you accumulate 1,000 tokens, you can withdraw them to your real balance and place more bets.

Even though we were a bit disappointed to see that Fairspin doesn’t have any bonuses, our spirits rose once we accessed the sports section. We were happy to see that there are a total of 12 categories for placing bets.

Each category had several types of odds and outrights, so we were able to experience a certain amount of diversity.

Betting Markets

The three most popular events to bet on here are the NBA, the NHL, and the UEFA Champions League. We had the pleasure of wagering on all three of these events and we were pleased with the available markets.

For example, when we went to bet on the NHL, a few of the available markets were match winner (main time), double chance, handicap (period 1), totals, totals per period and per team, both teams to score, draw no bet, and both teams to score plus an added event.

Some of the NBA bets that we were able to choose from were match winner, half-time winner, handicaps per quarter, number of three-pointers scored and handicaps.

All of these markets are a common feature and are popular picks for Canadians.

Odds

When compared to other Canadian online sportsbooks, Fairspin ranked pretty well in terms of competitive odds. All of the sections had identical odds, more or less. As such, we can say that each bet can provide punters with decent payouts. We were also happy to see that we could change the odds from decimal to the following:

• American
• Fractional
• Hong Kong
• Malaysian
• Indonesian

This option is located under “Settings” on the right side of the screen. Once you expand that menu, two additional buttons will appear. The first one allows users to set their language, while the second one is the odds format button.

Featured Sports

A total of 17 sports are up for grabs at Fairspin online sportsbook, which is just about average; we’d definitely like to have seen more options, including some niche sports like Gaelic football. The most popular ones are soccer, ice hockey, and basketball. I was also able to wager on the likes of tennis, table tennis, volleyball, baseball, boxing, cricket, darts, MMA, and e-sports. The e-sports section had the following games: eFootball, Counter-Strike 2, eBasketball, and eHockey.

The number of available sports wasn’t as big as other online sportsbooks in Canada, but our major concern was whether Fairspin had the most popular ones. Fortunately, the betting site did not disappoint in answering that question.

Fairspin offers a few interesting features that will provide Canadians with a better overall experience. With today’s competition, it’s hard to stand out so providing bettors with a range of features that will make their time on the site better should be the goal of the platform.

Live Betting

To access the live betting menu, you need to click on the “Live” button at the top left of the screen. After doing so, the platform lists all current events. The top menu allows you to switch between different sports.

This option allows you to place live bets and experience the full thrill of online wagering. Most of the live events have live trackers. They allow you to have a better statistical view of the action.

Live Streaming

Live streaming is also available at Fairspin. If you want to find events that have this mode, you need to scroll down the list and search for games that have the play button, located just above the score. You can watch the games in window mode or full screen. But if you do so, make sure that your internet connection is stable.

Bet Builder

Canadians can rest knowing that the bet builder mode is available at Fairspin. Thanks to it, they can place multiple bet types on the same event and potentially increase their odds of winning big. We’d also love to have seen an early cash out feature here, but Fairspin doesn’t have one.

Considering that Fairspin is a crypto-focused platform, Canadians can use several cryptocurrencies to deposit and withdraw money at the bookmaker. The only fiat methods available are Interac, Visa, Mastercard, and Cash2Code.

Deposits at Fairspin

To deposit money into your account, you need to click on the green button at the top right corner. Fairspin will give you the full list of payment methods available. Once you select one, you need to enter the amount you want to deposit. If you’re depositing for the first time, you’ll also have to enter payment method details. Each deposit at Fairspin is instant and the operator doesn’t charge fees.

Withdrawals at Fairspin

Even though e-wallets are featured on the list of withdrawal methods, Canadians can’t use them to deposit. As such, they’re unavailable for withdrawals either. To withdraw money from your account, you need to log in and click the Deposit menu. Once the new page loads, you need to go to the Withdrawal section. Select your method and the amount that you want to withdraw and confirm the transaction.

If you decide to withdraw more than $10,000, Fairspin might split your withdrawal into two separate payouts of $5,000 each per day. Although the operator processes withdrawals within 10 minutes, it may take a few business days before the funds arrive at your payment provider.

Fairspin doesn’t have a mobile app for iOS or Android devices. Although there is a page for a web application, it only creates a shortcut on your device’s home screen. Nevertheless, the website is fully optimized for mobile devices. The mobile version gives you full access to all of Fairspin’s services. We didn’t experience any lags or errors during my review.

We must say that we were happy with the overall web design. The left-side menu gave us quick access to pretty much any category on the platform. We liked that if we stayed inactive for more than a few minutes, the platform implemented security checkups to make sure that we weren’t a bot. However, we must state that it is a bit challenging to find information on the platform. Some pages lack detailed information.

To make sure that all users have top security, Fairspin implemented the standard SSL encryption protocol. This technology encrypts the data that you send to the platform and keeps it out of harm’s way.

The company that operates Fairspin is Techcore Holding B.V., which holds a valid licence from the Curaçao Gaming Control Board. That means all of its sports betting services are legal and legitimate.

Moreover, the platform implements KYC policies to make sure that vulnerable gamblers or minors don’t gain access to real money betting.

Last but not least, Fairspin allows players to set up Google 2FA. Thanks to this feature, you can generate codes via authenticator apps. This means you’ll need to enter the generated code each time you log into your account. These codes last for about a minute and then they change.

You can contact Fairspin customer support via live chat. We had a few things that we wanted clarification on and reached out to the team. Their response time is pretty fast, and the team and I were quick to find a solution. The good thing about the support team is that if their agents are preoccupied currently, you can send your message and they will respond to you via mail.

In addition, you can directly send an email to [email protected] or call +31 (97) 010280059. The operator also has an active Telegram channel where you can seek help or follow the latest news.
