The user experience at Betcris is very stripped back. There are no fancy graphics, and the color scheme is plain and simple. The site is very user-friendly, so it should be popular with beginners, but experienced bettors that want a streamlined service may also enjoy using it. Pages are a little slow to load and there is no search function, but navigation is pretty straightforward and tabs like “Today’s Events”, “Most Popular” and “Closing Soon” provide helpful shortcuts.

Betcris offers a mobile app for Apple users, which you can download from the app store. It has an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 after receiving around 400 user reviews. Betcris has not developed a mobile app for Android users, so you will have to use a mobile version of the site on your mobile browser if you have an Android device. BMR tested it out for this Betcris review and found the functionality to be strong. It is user-friendly, easy to navigate and full of shortcuts, so you should be able to place bets pretty quickly from the palm of your hand.

Betcris covers a pretty impressive array of sports in excellent detail, but it provides very few betting options on games. If you want to place a lot of prop bets, Bodog, BetOnline or Bet365 might be a better option.

Sports Covered

The sports covered by Betcris are listed in order of popularity down the left of the homepage. The order can vary depending upon which sports are in season, but this was the situation at the time of our Betcris review:

• Baseball
• Basketball
• Soccer
• Hockey
• Tennis
• Golf
• Esports
• Table Tennis
• Martial Arts
• Olympics
• Motor Racing
• Boxing
• Rugby Union
• Cricket
• Aussie Rules
• Handball
• Cycling

The esports section covers CS:GO, Dota 2, League of Legends, StarCraft II, Overwatch and Call of Duty in reasonable depth. The politics section sticks to U.S. presidential elections. There isn’t an entertainment section.

Depth of Sporting Coverage

We cannot fault Betcris for the depth of its sporting coverage. It is an official sponsor of MLB and NFL, so it naturally covers every pro baseball and football game. There is also Mexican baseball. It goes deep with its basketball coverage, with sports betting on leagues in New Zealand, Australia, Israel and various European countries. It even covers second division basketball in France and Italy. The soccer section is also extremely deep, covering action in obscure places like Kazakhstan, Ghana and Zambia.

Betting Markets

You will find a very limited range of betting markets on most sporting events at Betcris. It typically sticks to just moneyline, spread and totals. There are no player props, game props, alternative spreads or alternative totals, and it does not have a same game parlay builder. It has a dedicated futures section, but once again the options are pretty limited. If you enjoy a narrow range of wagering options, the Betcris sportsbook is great. If you want a larger array to choose from, visit a site like BetOnline, Bodog or Bet365 instead.

Live Betting

Betcris does have a live betting section, but it is often empty. It does not cover many sporting events each week, but you can find some primetime NFL games, select MLB games, major golf tournaments, Korean baseball and some esports and simulations.

Other Betting Options

The Betcris casino has a range of slots from Betsoft. There are also some progressive jackpot games, and you can play all the most popular table games, plus video poker, bingo and keno. We did not find any live casino games when conducting this Betcris review, so that is an area for improvement. You can play a number of games in demo mode before taking the plunge and playing for real money, which is helpful. There is also a racebook, which covers action from around the world, and the aforementioned racebook rebate is a nice touch.

Betcris caters to recreational players and high rollers alike. The minimum bet is $1 and the maximum varies according to the sport and the bet type. Contact customer service to discuss placing large wagers.

Betcris offers standard juice lines on basketball and football. It generally provides -110 lines on totals and most spreads, but it sometimes offers -105 on one team and -115 on the other, so you can find some interesting value. Its moneyline odds are generally a little above average too, and it is pretty quick to release odds compared to its rivals, so the BMR team was impressed with Betcris in this regard.

The sports bettors in the BMR community have praised the high betting limits, the reliable payouts and the breadth of sporting events covered at Betcris. It is generally held in high esteem by experienced bettors, and we would recommend it for beginners too. Betcris is a licensed, trustworthy operator. Its administrative office is in Costa Rica, and it is fully licensed by the government there. The parent company is in Malta – specifically at Villa Seminia, 8 Sir Temi Zammit Avenue Ta´Xbiex XBX 1011 – and it holds a remote gaming license with the Malta Gaming Authority, which is one of the world’s most demanding regulators.

This is another field in which Betcris excels. As previously mentioned, Betcris stands for Bet Costa Rica International. It has an experienced team of customer service agents working 24/7 in Costa Rica to provide players with support. You can use live chat, call toll free on 1-866-238-2747 or email the team with any questions you might have. They speak Spanish, Portuguese and English. We tested out the service for this BMR Betcris review, and we found the Betcris customer support representative to be very courteous and personable.
