PlanetSport Bet is a UK sportbook and casino with a new no wagering spins welcome offer. It’s one of only a few UK facing sites to have live casino games by Ezugi as well as the ever popular Evolution and Pragmatic Play, and has now added some bingo rooms as well.
Like its sister site Rhino, Planet Sport Bet was originally conceived as a sportsbook – and a very good sportsbook it is too, with a comprehensive range of sports and separate lobby areas for football, horse racing, in play and virtuals – but the slots and casino part of the site is certainly good enough to stand alone.
It also has some extremely solid backing; you’ll notice a tab in the menu for News which if hit takes you off site to Planet Sport itself, a huge and well known sports news website that’s part of a group including Football365 and PlanetF1. Hundreds of thousands of people visit these well respected sites to read news and views about their favourite sports and it’s not surprising that some of them also want to place bets!
The bingo rooms at Planet Sport Bet were added in 2024 and are powered by Pragmatic Play. There’s 90 ball, 75 ball, 80 ball and 30 ball bingo rooms plus daily and weekly jackpot games and the Pragmatic Play specials Bingo Blast, Diamond Dazzle and Animingo. You can prebuy tickets up to 28 days ahead of time (which can be very handy when they run seasonal specials).
The bingo rooms don’t have hosted chat so bingo is very much a sideshow with the sportsbook and casino remaining the main event.
About the casino, anyway – if you are looking for a change from the usual skin sites (Progress Play, Skill On Net etc) that appear in the UK space, you will probably want to check Planet Sport Bet out.
In both the Casino area and the Live Casino area there’s a mixture of the familiar and the not so familiar:
In the case of Net Ent and Pragmatic Play slot games with variable Return To Player, when checked in early 2024 they had it set at the top of the range.
In both Casino and Live Casino you can filter games by provider (select the studio from a drop down list) or search by name.
What Planet Sport Bet doesn’t have, however, is any progressive jackpot slots; there’s no lobby area for them and a search didn’t turn up any of the usual suspects. As no casinos on the Playbook platform currently have any progressive jackpots, this is likely a limitation of the platform.
Planet Sport Bet also doesn’t have a promotions page as such. Instead, the promotions appear at the top of the screen regardless of screen size – on a phone, you swipe to see the ones that are offscreen. (On a large screen, there are also some promotions in a sidebar but they are all for sports). The casino promotions include Pragmatic Play Drops & Wins, the live casino version of it as well as the slots version, and there’s also a weekly spins promotion.
If you were hoping to use a deposit method other than debit card, you’ll be disappointed at Planet Sport Bet – it’s the only payment method they accept.
You also won’t be able to open an account at Planet Sport Bet if you’ve already got one at Rhino as the licence holder Playbook Gaming Ltd only allows one account per person.
If you don’t mind having to use a debit card for deposits, Planet Sport Bet looks like a great option for players looking for a sportsbook & casino combo (as so many of you seem to be doing these days). Especially now it’s got a welcome offer with no wagering requirements!
None on welcome offer spins
The Responsible Gambling document at Planet Sport Bet pops out from the side on a large screen and pops up to cover the screen on a mobile phone. It includes a self assessment questionnaire and details of the safer gambling tools they offer (just the standard deposit limits, reality check, time out and self exclusion). There’s also an explainer video.
