ClutchBet Review

ClutchBet is an online sportsbook that is only a few years old but is starting to make a name for itself.

ClutchBet has the obvious disadvantage of size. Only available in three states (Colorado, Iowa, and Louisiana), and having a small fraction of employees as larger competitors, it’s tough to measure up to companies like DraftKings and FanDuel. However, it is a good option for anyone looking for something new. As a new company, it is off to a great start with room to expand and improve. There are advantages to its size, such as offering more personal customer support and being more aware of its user base.

ClutchBet's betting markets are impressive for such a young company. With all the betting features you need such as single-game parlays, daily boosts, and live betting, it has almost everything a bettor needs. Some features that boost user experience are missing, such as live-streaming and social betting groups. Its app and site are functional and well-designed, and most bets are easy to locate. ClutchBet has a cool betting system available in basketball and football called ClutchClash, where you can choose a variety of head-to-head player stats to parlay.

ClutchBet is a reliable option with fast and easy deposits/withdrawals. There is no concern over legitimacy even if they aren’t a household name. ClutchBet may not be doing anything groundbreaking yet, but I recommend it to anyone searching for an additional betting site.

ClutchBet offers a 100% Bet match up to $250 in bonus bets, paid over the first 5 weeks.

Make sure to use promo code CLUTCH250 to claim the offer

Here's an explanation of how the 100% Bet Match bonus works at ClutchBet Sportsbook:

• The bonus is paid out over five weeks. You'll receive 20% of your first wager as a bonus bet instantly, and the remaining 80% in equal 20% installments over the next four weeks.

• For example, a $250 initial bet earns you a $50 bonus bet immediately, followed by four weekly $50 bonus bets.

• The result of your first bet doesn’t matter; you’re guaranteed the 100% match bonus regardless of the outcome.

• A minimum bet of $10 with odds of -200 or longer is required to qualify. Bonus bets expire after seven days.

• Bonus bets can be used on any wager with odds of -200 or longer, including parlays where no leg has odds shorter than -200. Each weekly bonus must be divided into 2-4 bets of equal value.

This bonus offer falls in the middle of the pack in terms of new-user promos. It can ultimately return more than the common $200 maximum in bonus bets offered by competitors. However, it takes weeks to claim the rewards. This can be seen as a positive if you aren’t a “want it now” person because it is a gift that keeps giving.

ClutchBet offers plenty of daily boosts and special offers.

It’s great that the bonuses don’t end after the initial deposit bonus, because daily promos add up more in the long run. ClutchBet goes above and beyond with its daily offers. It commonly offers odds boosts to increase your potential payouts. ClutchBet's biggest emphasis for daily offers is parlay insurance. Parlay insurance comes in clutch, as it gifts your bet back if only one leg of the parlay loses.

Whereas other sites may offer one per day, ClutchBet has been offering separate offers for every main sport. At times, you can have parlay insurance for bets in the MLB, NBA, NHL, and even UFC on the same day. ClutchBet also does a great job of specializing offers based on your state, such as an odds boost on an Iowa Hawkeyes football game if you reside in Iowa.

ClutchBet excels in the features category, as they offer nearly all the popular ones the leading sportsbooks have. A few features it actually improves on compared to other betting apps. Perhaps the thing ClutchBet does best is the head-to-head matchup betting system called ClutchClash. It also offers same game parlay (extras), live betting, quick parlays, early cashouts, and daily boosts/specials.

The only notable missing feature is live streaming. For an app that excels in live streaming, check out Caesars Sportsbook. As they grow and expand, hopefully, live streaming can be included. Overall, it's quite impressive that ClutchBet is able to offer all of these features as such a new sportsbook.

ClutchBet offers all of the most popular professional sports leagues in the US. If you want to bet on football, basketball, baseball, hockey, or soccer, ClutchBet has what you are looking for. One positive is that you can parlay bets from different sports with one another to create a diverse betting experience. It’s important to note that the sports offered vary from state to state.

They are fairly limited in each sport compared to a site like Fanatics Sportsbook which offers more markets for minor leagues, college sports, and overseas leagues. That isn’t to say there aren’t some options, such as a handful of Euro soccer leagues, a few NCAA sports, and the WNBA. Other than that, it’s just the primary leagues offered. Niche sports are also provided, such as motorsports, table tennis, and volleyball.

Considering the company size, there is a good amount of sports offered. In summary, ClutchBet will fill all the basic bettor’s needs but is missing depth in more specialized markets.

I don’t have many complaints about the functionality of the ClutchBet desktop website or mobile app. It gets the job done and isn’t confusing to use. I appreciate sites that aren’t overcomplicated and do too much. It looks clean visually and is well organized to streamline your betting experience. Speeds are up to par, and I haven’t experienced any crashes or glitches. One helpful feature is that on the website, it is very easy to find where to select your state and preference for odds style. However, it is more difficult to find and change in the app.

One downside is the lack of in-app features like live streaming or game tracking. Additionally, some reviews mention that GPS location verification can be spotty, making it hard to place a bet until it’s fixed. You have to make sure you have selected the correct state, or else the markets offered may not be accurate. Lastly, some markets are hard to find, such as NCAA bets not appearing on the links from the A-Z list, but rather being found under their professional counterparts.

Overall, ClutchBet’s style and interface are more than sufficient but don’t do much to stand out.

One great feature of ClutchBet is that there isn’t a minimum balance requirement for withdrawals. Many bigger sites require a certain amount in your account before you’re allowed to withdraw. This is an advantage ClutchBet offers that provides a better user experience. Since it competes against much larger companies, ClutchBet finds small areas like this to build traction. However, it requires a minimum deposit of $20, which is higher than most online sportsbooks. I find it odd that it has no minimum for withdrawals, but a higher-than-usual minimum for deposits. Deposits on ClutchBet are done instantly, while withdrawals usually take 1-3 business days to process.

Including online payment systems such as PayPal and Skrill is something the younger generations can appreciate, as those accounts are easily connected for seamless use. I would rather link my PayPal account than search my banking apps for routing numbers any day. The option of debit cards is also clutch, as those are usually something we have on us or nearby.

ClutchBet may not replace your primary sportsbook, but it could serve as a great second option in your sports betting repertoire. Its initial bonus is something to take advantage of for the bonus hunters. In addition, ClutchBet isn't stingy with its daily boosts and offers such as parlay insurance. For its size, it offers a lot of markets and competitive odds.

Overall, ClutchBet is a more than acceptable place to bet. It offers the main features I look for as a bettor such as single-game parlays and live betting. The sports betting industry is hyper-competitive, so it’s important to find one thing to excel at. I believe ClutchBet does that with the ClutchClash head-to-head betting system. They improved on an old idea with ClutchClash to help them stand out. Other than that, it doesn’t have much that separates it from comparable online sportsbooks.

If you are someone who doesn’t need flashy features and overcomplicated betting systems, ClutchBet is more than adequate in meeting your needs as a bettor. I appreciate its simplicity and focus on providing a smooth betting experience. I expect ClutchBet to continue to grow and improve in the coming years.
