Rivalry Review
Launched in early 2018, Rivalry is one of the oldest bookmakers focused on esports betting. Despite its esports background, Rivalry also offers betting on traditional sports now. Rivalry also fields a news division that covers esports events and news with a multitude of guides regarding esports betting. Smooth and intuitive design, a good welcome offer for the newcomers, all this is about Rivalry.
Bonuses
Rivalry offer the following Bonus:
Sport / Game Coverage
Rivalry focuses on Esports of course and is one of the biggest names in this niche, so it comes as no surprise that most of the esports titles are covered and with a good number of markets as well.
Rivalry's margins are around 7.5%, slightly higher than the 7% industry-standard average.
Responsible Gaming
Although licensed in the Isle of Man, Rivalry treats the Responsible Gaming topic quite seriously and have multiple options available to their customers: from account limits that can be imposed to the most important associated organizations that one can reach out to.
The following limits can be imposed on an account:
- Deposits limits
- Betting limits
- Timeout (cooldown)
- Self-Exclusion (a user can permanently prevent themselves from betting on the site)
Deposit & Withdrawal
Rivalry has a minimum deposit & withdrawal amount of $15. It offers one free withdrawal per month, and additional withdrawals are subject to a fee depending on the withdrawal method used. Unverified users can deposit up to $100 while the highest limits are mentioned to be up to $10,000 per transaction.
Rivalry generally approves withdrawals within 24 hours. Once a withdrawal is approved, it may take additional time to receive the funds depending on which withdrawal method. Unverified users cannot withdraw, while the verified ones can withdraw up to $1k per transaction while the highest limit is $10k per transaction.
Onboarding Process
It is really easy and fast to open an account on Rivalry. An email and password are required only and after the email confirmation the name, username, and date of birth info has to be added as well. Social media platforms are also available for account creation: Google, Facebook, Twitter, Steam, Twitch, VK.
The verification is not mandatory for account registration or deposit, but the financial functionality is limited as the deposit amount is capped at $100 while withdrawals are not available with an unverified account.
The usual set of documents is required in order to complete the account verification process, while the timeframe is mentioned to be no longer than 10 minutes, but we think that delays can be expected.
Customer Service
Live chat is available 24/7 and is the recommended way of contacting Rivalry’s customer support, while a handy FAQ section is also available.
The representatives got in touch in just a few minutes and were able to answer all of the questions mentioned.
