If you haven’t checked out Elephant Bet yet, you’re missing out. Yes, it’s the new kid on the block having launched in 2023 but is already shaping up as one of the most well-rounded betting platforms in Sierra Leone. No matter if you’re backing your favorite football team, rolling the dice on a casino game, or placing your bets on esports, it has a lot to keep you entertained. Sounds good? Let’s break it down then.
Signing up
The first thing to appreciate is how easy Elephant Bet’s registration is. You do not have to give them your entire life history – just a phone number, and password, and go through SMS verification. All it takes from scrolling through your phone to creating an account and placing your first bets is one minute. We have seen more complications ordering a pizza online, so no stress here.
Sportsbook: Bet Like a Pro
First off, now, the real heart of Elephant Bet is its sportsbook, and it is stacked. Whether you are only about footbal, love a good basketball showdown, or just want to dip your feet into tennis betting, it’s all covered here. You can bet on everything from the English Premier League down to random matches in the Turkish Super Lig, and it always feels like there is a game worth betting on. The crown jewel, of course, is football: from the total goals to the first-half outcome, you can go wild and bet pretty much everything.
It’s not only football, though. You can take a shot at basketball, throwing down bets on NBA games. You can bet on points spreads, total points, and even specific player performances – so if LeBron’s feeling hot that night, you can cash in on that. For whenever you feel a bit more refined, tennis comes through with odds for the French Open and Wimbledon. Set winners, game totals, and even some spicy live bets make every match a little more thrilling.
Casino: Spin to Win
If you like a little slot action, Elephant Bet’s casino section is where the magic happens. The moment you enter the lobby, it’s like being hit with a smorgasbord of slots. Fantasy suckers for example can find Gates of Valhalla, where each time spin feels like being on an epic quest. Then there is Joker’s Jewels – which, may not exactly concern Nordic gods, but sure does know how to keep you hooked.
The slots aren’t the only show in town, though. You can easily find yourself at the table of digital roulette or go for some relaxed video poker sessions. Of course, you don’t necessarily have to face the algorithm, as all table games have a live dealer version. More on that in a bit.
Live Casino: The Vegas Experience
Now, if you miss that feel of a casino after being stuck at home or work for a while, you will love the Live Casino of Elephant Bet. We’re talking real dealers, streamed in high definition, for all popular card and table games plus game shows on top. It’s about as close as you can get to the action on the actual casino floor without booking that flight to Vegas.
More than that, though, there is just something about being with a live dealer shuffling cards or spinning the roulette wheel that makes it so much more real than the usual computerized stuff.
Bonuses & Promotions
Elephant Bet takes good care of its players. First, there is the starting free bet. Just make your first deposit, place a wager, and if that doesn’t go the way you want, they will give you back up to 500 SLE. Then there is Friday Boost, which is one of our favorite ones. You place a high-odds bet, and once it comes through, they’ll slap on a 50% boost to your winnings. It’s a great way to head into the weekend feeling like a genius.
And with the recurring daily free bet. It is perfect for those who like to keep their bets small and consistent, this might be just the thing one needs to get through. Deposit 40 SLE or more and you will have a nice 5% free bet on the spot.
And let’s not forget the Loyalty Club. The more you wager, the more you climb – from Bronze to the top Platinum. Now, the benefits: free play for the casino, cashback for some games, and free bets galore. The best part is that you climb up the ladder more with each rung providing access to even better rewards.
Banking: No Headaches
Everybody hates complicated payment processes, but Elephant Bet keeps it smooth. You are allowed to use Orange Money and Airtel Money for deposit and withdrawal options, with the minimum deposit starting at just 20 SLE. That is especially cool if you’re just trying to get a feel of what it’s like. Once your account’s verified, cashing out is also a pretty easy peasy. We tested it out with a few withdrawals and there were no issues or fees to complain about. Still, we got charged by Orange as usual, don’t get us wrong.
Customer Support: Got Your Back
Customer support is one of those things you don’t think about until you need it. And when you do, you want for it to be quick and painless. Elephant Bet delivers on that front. Their live chat is the fastest way to have any issues ironed out. We had to use it once or twice for minor stuff like account verification and getting some clarification about the bonus terms. The representatives were friendly, and more importantly, they solved the problems without jumping through hoops.
