Summary

With payment info copy-pasted from another country and no direct withdrawals, Linbets isn’t the best site to sign up with.

Our Linbets review digs into every nook and cranny of this gambling brand that has just landed on the Zim market. A 200% sportsbook welcome bonus is available on the site, plus a $2 million prize pool for Drop & Wins.

But is this site legit? There is limited licensing information about the brand on its official website. However, it appears to support local payment methods like Ecocash. The sports section looks stripped down, but you have some casino games to pick from. Join us for a complete overview of the site.

Know More About Linbets

  • Linbets is owned by Linbets Holdings, a South African-based company.
  • The names and owners of Linbets Holdings aren’t known.
  • Linbets Zimbabwe is located in Hatcliff.

200% Welcome Bonus

At a glance, Linbet’s 200% welcome bonus up to $500 for new bettors is quite something for a new sportsbook. Even industry leaders like AfricaBet can’t top that. However, our reservations creep in when details around the bonus are sketchy.

There’s no information in the bonus terms and conditions about the minimum deposit amount, wagering conditions, bonus validity period, etc. This leaves players guessing their next move. It’s a different scenario from Premier Bet, which outlines all this information under the bonus terms of use. We didn’t find a casino welcome deal but saw a Pragmatic Play Drops & Wins promo.

Standard Registration

Want to find out how to register and log in? Linbets keeps registration very short. You don’t undergo any phone or email verification to create an account. While this simplifies the process, it can compromise the integrity of the betting site.

  1. Visit the Linbets main website.
  2. Click the blue Register button.
  3. Provide your mobile number, password, full name, National ID, and promo code if you have one. Click Register.
  4. You’re immediately logged into your new account.

Linbets Online Sports Betting Site (1.9/5)

After checking out the welcome bonus, we expected a bit more from the Linbets sports betting section. Let’s take a closer look at what the Linbets Sportsbook has on offer.

Linbets Zimbabwe Sportsbook

Betting Options (2.5/5)

Our Linbets review counted only 3 sports on the site, namely soccer, basketball, and tennis. That’s a drop in the ocean compared to what sites like AfricaBet and Premier Bet put on the table.

But Linbets does treat soccer fans to matches from around the world. And you can place different wagers, including Totals, Outright, 1×2, and Double Chance. With tennis, you can predict the first set winner, 2nd set winner, etc.

Top Leagues (2/5)

We’ll give the sportsbook credit for covering a wide range of local and international soccer leagues. You can wager on everything from the Premier League to the Bundesliga. No leagues are listed under basketball, which is concerning. For tennis, the bookie covers events for ITF men’s and women’s singles.

Live Betting (2.1/5)

Our Linbets review can confirm how the site allows bettors to wager on games while matches are underway. But unlike AfricaBet, which offers live betting on several sports, you could only place live bets on soccer at the time of our review. Bettors can identify the live sporting events by clicking the small Live red icon in the top left of the screen.

Live Streaming (1/5)

You won’t be able to watch soccer matches live if you register with Linbets. Linbets betting Zimbabwe doesn’t offer live streaming. You’ll have to join the likes of Premier Bet to enjoy that functionality.

The Linbets Casino is Pretty Okay (2.9/5)

Linbet’s casino offering looks better than the sportsbook section. The site partners with top game developers in the industry, such as NetEnt, Pragmatic Play, and Betsoft. Below are the different gaming categories Linbets Casino has on display.

Linbets Zimbabwe Casino

Linbets Aviator (2.8/5)

Linbets Aviator has a virtual plane fly across the screen with rising multipliers. The goal is to cash out before the plane crashes and takes your bet along with it. It’s an interesting, fast-paced game with near-instant results. Besides Aviator, similar games to try out include Aero, Aviatrix, and Maverick.

Online Casino Slots (3.6/5)

Linbets Casino has slots that you can play for days. Given the caliber of studios in charge of the slots, you can explore hits like Sweet Bonanza, Starburst, and Wolf Gold. These are all high RTP slots with favorable odds. Most slots require a minimum of $0.20 for a spin.

Despite the treasure trove of slots, the site could have done a better job at arranging them; they aren’t subcategorized. This makes it difficult to identify games you want to play.

Table Games (2.9/5)

20 games are listed under the table games section. The casino includes variants for staples like blackjack, roulette, and baccarat. Unique titles to check out are 3D European Blackjack and Non-Stop Roulette. You’ll also find a handful of poker games listed under this section, as well as Spin & Win.

Specialty Games (2.4/5)

Linbets has a number of specialty games that don’t fit neatly into the basic slots, table games, or poker categories. It offers unique games like keno, Plinko, and scratchcards. We found 5 keno games on the lineup, including Instant Keno and Keno Pop.

Live Casino (2.6/5)

22 live dealer tables are available to join at the site. These include a mix of table games and game shows led by professional croupiers in real time. Names like One Blackjack and Sweet Bonanza Candyland feature on the list.

The table below highlights the different casino games available at Linbets Zim.

Linbets Mobile site (3/5)

A Linbets app is not available to players. If you want to wager on the move, you can load up the site from your Android or iOS browser. Sites like Premier Bet have designed a mobile app, so Linbets needs to catch up.

Linbets Zimbabwe mobile

That said, you can access both sports betting and casino gaming via the mobile site after Linbets login. While it’s easy to identify sporting events, the same can’t be said about slots. Just like on the desktop, they are all bunched up under slots. We didn’t experience any system downtime while testing the site, but games sometimes took a long time to load.

Payments Slow and Done Manually (1.7/5)

We’re a bit conflicted about the Linbets payment system. According to our Linbets deposit guide, the site accepts Ecocash and Netone’s One Money deposits. You’ll also find a merchant’s code if you want to do a manual deposit.

Linbets Zimbabwe Manual Payments

The operator lists Linbets Ecocash, Innbucks, and O’Mari as withdrawal options. In the same breath, the site instructs players to contact two WhatsApp numbers displayed on the website for withdrawals. But upon saving these numbers, none were available on WhatsApp. Also, there are no minimum/maximum deposit and withdrawal amounts displayed, which left us guessing. The terms and conditions do list 1-3 days as the withdrawal turnaround times.

EcocashN/AN/A1-3 days
InnbucksN/AN/A1-3 days
O’MariN/AN/A1-3 days
One MoneyN/AN/AN/A

Limited Licensing Information (2.3/5)

One of the key indicators of a legitimate gambling site is a valid trading license. Sites like AfricaBet, Premier Bet, and Spin City display all their licensing information on the site, including the license number and governing body.

Linbets only displays a license number but doesn’t specify who issued it, and that’s worrisome. It does list a stand number in Hatcliff, as the brand’s physical address, which seems a tad dubious. We did find a licensing policy detailing how the operator safeguards player-sensitive data.

No Live chat (1.9/5)

This is one area where Linbets really drops the ball. To begin with, there’s no live chat, which is unacceptable for a modern gambling site. Secondly, the WhatsApp numbers displayed aren’t on WhatsApp. There are two agent mobile numbers listed on the website, but no one picked up when we gave them a call.

To top it off, there’s an FAQ section, but wrong information is listed there, as displayed in the picture below. It appears the site owners lifted the info from a South Sudan site, and based on the content, they forgot to edit.

You can’t help but wonder what else Linbets simply copied and pasted.

Proceed with caution

We’ve been putting together our Zimbabwe betting site reviews for a while now and can spot a fly-by-night a mile away. Don’t get us wrong, Linbets does a number of things right, especially for its casino section. Just the mere selection of games from top studios is intriguing. Also, the massive sportsbook welcome bonus is hard to ignore.

However, we can’t ignore the red flags. The limited licensing information, bad UI design, unanswered agent phones, and unavailable WhatsApp mobile numbers are a bit concerning. You could give it a try and deposit maybe $3 to see if you’ll get winnings, and after how long. Or, simply stick to reputable brands like AfricaBet, Premier Bet, and Spin City with a proven track record.
