Customers in the UK have the protection of the UK Gambling Commission, which has issued a remote licence. The Karamba site features a casino, live casino, scratch cards and sportsbook. Initially the site launched as an online casino in 2005 and introduced sports betting in 2009 to complete a varied package of gaming products.

The operator’s head office is in Malta, which provides an advantageous tax regime. Aspire owns many casinos and sportsbooks and brings years of experience to the Karamba brand. Personal data is secure by encryption and the company is a member of ESSA, which ensures there is integrity across the sports betting industry.

Karamba Sports

Sport is the fourth option on the main menu on the Home Page. The sports page provides a search facility based on the event or league. The main betting events of the day are available through Featured Links, which are mainly for football. The most popular sports are football, basketball, tennis, ice hockey and volleyball. All sports appear in an A-Z list, which has about 40 options. In addition to the standard sports, customers can also bet on Politics and TV Specials. The sports product targets players in the UK and rest of Europe.

Football is easily the most popular betting sport and the English Premier league generates the most bets and turnover. There are about 130 betting options for each match, which appear under the following headings: All Markets, Main, Goals, Halves, Corners, Period, Players, Specials and Cards.

Other bookmakers offer up to 400 markets, but Karamba focuses on the football options that customers bet on most. The range includes the most popular bets and also more exotic bets like the correct score and first scorer.

Basketball appears second on the list of sports after football so we can assume it accounts for the second most bets. Odds are available for the main domestic leagues in Europe and the Euroleague. However, the most betting interest comes from the NBA in the United States, and the most popular markets are the match result, handicaps and totals.

Karamba also provides a good tennis betting service with most bets placed on in-play events. Betting is available on the match winner, handicaps and totals and correct match and set betting. Customers can bet on singles and doubles matches in men’s and women’s tournaments.

Karamba Sports Betting Offer

Players with Karamba sports betting can bet on the winners of many leagues and competitions. Odds are available before the first fixtures. The most popular outright market is for the winner of the Premier League in England. Odds are available from before the start of the season in August up until the winner is known the following May. In tennis and golf, Karamba publishes outright betting for tournament winners and updates odds after each round. In horse racing, odds are available for winners of future races at festivals like Cheltenham Festival and Royal Ascot and individual races like the Grand National over jumps and Derby on the Flat.

Despite the growth of in-play betting especially on mobile devices, pre-match betting is still an important element of the Karamba sports betting service. The most popular pre-match bet is on the Home/Draw/Away outcome after 90 minutes. Punters can combine selections in many sports in singles, doubles, trebles and accumulators. Special and system bets combine options in a number of permutations. The more exotic bets like forecasts, correct score and first scorer are popular because they provide the potential for a big win for a small stake. Bets can also be cashed out during the action.

In-play Betting is the first option on the Karamba sports betting menu. Live betting is available on football and tennis and a number of minor sports. There is no live streaming but the interface includes a visual representation of the progress and play and live statistics. For a typical football match, there are about 50 betting options, including the 1X2, handicaps, totals and correct score.

Lastly, the default odds format for customers in the UK is fractional which is the traditional format in UK betting offices. The other options are decimal and American which are available in a clear drop-down menu.

Karamba Cash Out

Karamba gives customers the chance to take control of their bets through the cash out facility. The option applies to bets placed in pre-match and in-play markets. Cash out is available for a number of sports including football and on selected markets. The thinking behind cashing out a bet is to ensure a profit even if the match goes against the bettor. Punters can also cash out to limit the loss from a losing bet.

Customers can fully or partially cash out a bet while the event is taking place. Timing is key because a goal in a football match or break of serve in tennis will cause significant price changes. Cashed out bets do not count as qualifying bets that activate the new customer bonus. The odds are in favour of Karamba when a customer chooses to cash out a bet before the final outcome.
