Betstorm Welcome Offer: Bet £10, Get a £10 Free Bet
Place £10 in qualifying bets and Betstorm credits a £10 free bet, usable once at odds of 1.5 or longer, with the stake not returned. Winnings from the free bet must be wagered once before withdrawal, up to a maximum conversion of £200, within seven days. Skrill and Neteller deposits are excluded, the offer is limited to one sportsbook and five casino brands in the ProgressPlay network, and a withdrawal request cancels active bonuses. The offer scores 2 out of 10: 5 for the £10 headline, minus 1 for the 1x wagering, minus 1 for the seven-day expiry, minus 1 for the Skrill and Neteller exclusion. The 1x wagering and £200 cap are far better than Betreels' 10x and £20 on the same network.

Markets and Betting Types
Betstorm prices 36 sports with 143 markets on a typical Premier League match and cash out. There is no streaming and no esports section. Betstorm is not in our price feeds, so the depth figure is our own count. Markets score 6 out of 10: 5 for breadth and 1 for cash out.
Odds and Payout
Betstorm is not in either of the price feeds behind our monthly odds test, so it has no measured payout and the odds criterion is left out of its overall score until its prices are in a feed we can measure.
None
Overall score calculated on welcome offer, markets, payments and app until an odds measurement exists.
Mobile App
Betstorm has no native app on either store. Betting is through the mobile site in a browser, which carries the full book and cash out. The app criterion scores 1 out of 10 for a web app only.
In-Play Betting and Live Streaming
In-play betting covers the main sports with cash out. There is no live streaming.

Our Verdict on Betstorm
Betstorm scores 4.1 out of 10 on four criteria. The 36-sport book with cash out and the eleven-method cashier are better than its last place on the old table suggests, and the free bet terms are the fairest in the ProgressPlay network. There is no app, no streaming, withdrawals take up to seven days, and odds are unmeasured while it sits outside our price feeds.
