VietBet Live Casino Review

VietBet isn’t just a Vietnamese sportsbook/casino, it’s a whole casino brand that caters to an international, but mainly Vietnamese and Chinese, audience. VietBet is actually a sister product to 5Dimes, along with BetAnySports and ChineseBookie.

5Dimes was the first to emerge on the Internet, way back in the days of 1998, and VietBet swiftly followed in 2002. Its casino site launched in 2016. Like its sister products it is run completely from Costa Rica. The name of the company is VietBet Ltd, but that matters little. It’s an off-shore operation run by the same people who run 5Dimes.

The range of games is very narrow, it’s just roulette, blackjack and baccarat in several different versions: Live Baccarat, Super 6, Live Blackjack, Live Blackjack Early Payout, Live Enhanced Payout American Roulette and Live Single Zero Roulette.

However, with unique titles not available anywhere else at least VietBet offer something different – plus all the important live dealer games are available. Players who want to play less popular table games will have to look elsewhere.

Native dealer tables

There are no native dealer tables, as the only language in the Vegas Live Dealer casino is English.

Private tables

VietBet doesn’t offer private tables – however since all their casino games are developed in house you won’t find the same offers and experiences anywhere else. So in a way, they are all private tables!

Mobile platform

Like other brands from the same 5Dimes group, VietBet doesn’t excel in mobile responsiveness, though it is an improvement over it’s sister sites – since this website was designed in 2016. The live dealer games aren’t meant to be played on mobile devices, since they’re targeting desktop as the preferred platform.

It possible to play Vegas Live Dealer games on smartphone and tablet but most phones will have screens too small for comfortable play without the mobile optimisation many sites offer.

VietBet supports deposits made by all the usual methods such as debit/credit cards, Skrill, Neteller, Western Union and bank transfer. They also have the additional benefit of accepting bitcoin deposits, all of which are processed for free.

Bitcoins are converted into traditional currency when gambling, but can be converted back into BTC for withdrawal. This is the most cost effective method of depositing and withdrawing money as it’s free once every 30 days.

Whereas wire transfer and cheque carry a fee of $80 while Western Union transfers cost $30-$70. Also, bitcoin withdrawals are the only option with a limit higher than $3,000 – that is 25,000 per withdrawal. The maximum is two withdrawals per 7 days, and the second one will carry an additional $100 fee.

All these rules are making payments to and from VietBet quite restrictive, and careful planning is needed in order to avoid high withdrawal fees.
