General Information About FuturePlay

FuturePlay is a crypto and fiat sportsbook recently launched in 2023 with a valid Curacao e-gaming license. Owned by Dama N.V., a known operator with over 50 active sportsbooks, FuturePlay takes multiple security precautions.

Players will be thrilled to find several ways to access the casino with minimum personal data required, including direct wallet login. Payments are completed without delays with access to multiple crypto options, including Bitcoin or XRP.

With an advanced interface designed for mobile and web usage, the site promises generous sports promotions, including free bets, welcome bonuses, and a VIP section.

My User Experience on Mobile App and Website

Through my first interaction with FuturePlay, I found the site to have a futuristic look and feel in every element. Their color scheme used dark and purple fades, with lighter gradient tones to highlight menu icons and buttons.

During my time playing on FuturePlay, I was impressed with how smoothly everything loaded, indicating how they built their interface for a larger user base. I noticed the same sleek interface in their mobile interaction, which had a responsive design.

Using the sportsbook in landscape mode made everything airy, with much room to read through the lines and select the correct options. Their sign-up, betting, and withdrawal funnel was well crafted and made any interaction easy to complete—exactly how I expect every site to perform.

My Registration Experience with FuturePlay – Step-by-Step Sign-Up Guide

I tested FuturePlay’s sign-up process just to find how quickly they let me place my bets. If you are curious about how it performs, check out the steps below:

1. Open site -> from your preferred browser and type the sportsbook’s name in the URL.
2. Open registration -> from the main lobby and select the “Sign Up” button from the main screen. You’ll find the button on the right-hand side next to the login section.
3. Complete details -> include personal data such as your email, password, currency, and location. When it’s all filled in, continue down the form.
4. Approve terms -> clicking one of the buttons from the pop-up screen. Approving terms automatically confirms you are over 18 to use the site.
5. Finish registration -> by tapping the “Sign Up” button at the bottom of the pop-up screen.

You’ll be surprised to see that a quicker sign-up process is possible using your Metamask wallet. If you have a Metamask and also use Google Chrome, you can complete your registration with a one-click action and select Metamask details—no personal details are needed.

Payment Information and Options

I was eager to find out how to deposit on the site and discovered they support 9 different tokens – most known and accessible.

The full list of cryptocurrencies I found in my research are:

• Bitcoin
• Ethereum
• Litecoin
• Bitcoin Cash
• Dogecoin
• Tether
• Cardano
• Ripple
• Binance Coin

When it was time to make a deposit, I learned that FuturePlay only supports crypto, but they made that possible if I wanted to use my credit card.

➡️ My first deposit was made using Mercuryo, their third-party application, where I used my personal debit card to fund my account.

➡️ Using credit cards to buy crypto is the only way to deposit on the site, and I made my first deposit of $25, which is the minimum for that option.

Personally, I prefer paying with Bitcoin or Tether directly from my wallet app.

➡️ In just 1 minute, I deposited $5 in USDT, the minimum amount for TRC20, and was thrilled with how quickly and accessible they made it for me.

• If you read my other reviews, you know I always deposit with TRON, but USDT on TRC20 is the same – if not better.
• If you’re an ETH fan, you won’t be happy to find the minimum deposit is much higher at 0.01 ETH.
• Every token is unique in how much I was able to deposit to have a good time on the site.

I found that FuturePlay made withdrawals accessible to anyone with a crypto wallet with decent limits.

➡️ I was quick to withdraw my USDT, but I could only withdraw more than $20 and no more than $4,000 at the time.

For a complete overview of the site’s limits, feel free to check below.

How Was My Deposit Process?

Depositing was a breeze, like most of the actions I took on the site. Here’s how to quickly get started with deposits:

2. Choose a Token: In the cashier, click on the tokens to open a drop-down menu and select how you want to deposit. When selected, head to the next option and deposit with CoinsPaid.

4. Send tokens: Head to your wallet, paste the address in the token send section. Complete all the fields, including the amount you have to send.
5. Complete transaction: Verify all details are correct, and click send in your wallet. Then, head back to the site and wait for the deposit.

Making my way to the sportsbook and adding a ticket was quickly done. Here’s how the betting flow took place.

My Experience with Withdrawing Winnings at FuturePlay

Similar to how I deposited, withdrawing is a seamless process. Here are the steps to take when seeking a cash-out

FuturePlay Sports Betting

🔵Betting Market – Over 35 Sports

After researching FuturePlay, I noted that 35 sports betting markets were always available on the platform. The site covers a wide range of sports, and I found the majority of the markets to provide good value for crypto bettors.

When digging deeper into the available markets, I found all popular games listed, including football, soccer, basketball, and many more. For me, niche sports and non-sports markets stood out a lot more.

I always look for quirky bets and options, and FuturePlay digs deep to cover that in their TV shows and Movies betting. Naturally, the bet made its way onto my slip when I also added a Netball game and Surfing—which I constantly follow.

🔵Odds

Generally, crypto sportsbooks have highly competitive odds, and I found the same for FuturePlay. When I compared odds to several other sportsbooks, the platform has no significant difference in odds for popular and known sports.

I found odds visible in decimal format and aligned with how most crypto bettors use them. I researched the site to understand if other odds views are available and was unsuccessful. So, if you are used to American odds for MMA betting as I am, you’ll be displeased to find out they aren’t offered.

🔵Range of Bets

As I always make use of a wide range of bets, FuturePlay has most of the bases covered in their sportsbooks. I found popular bets on the site, including money line, handicap, total, correct core, and my favorite combo bets.

I created a bet slip to test it out myself and quickly picked outright winners from the quick pick section. When I checked basketball games on WNBA, I found that my choices were limited, which was disappointing.

🔵Live Betting and Streaming

Live betting is a unique betting experience, and FuturePlay clearly puts a lot of effort into making it stand out. At a glance, I found all games from the pre-match available in live play, with limited bets compared to the latter.

I found the site has several streams running, and I only got it active after I placed a small wager of $1. Access to live streaming directly on the platform is a game changer in my view, as I could do all the betting on the site itself.

Sports Betting Bonuses and Promotions

🔵Welcome bonus: Get a free bet of up to 30 USDT

🔹How it works:

• Deposit 20 USDT
• Active bonus
• Use on games with 1.01 to 2.00 odds

🔹Experience: To claim my free bonus, I had to get to know the platform first. It’s a challenge when descriptions are not as clear. Overall, the free bet is a treat that earned me a wager-free bankroll boost.
🔹Risk-Free Bonus: Receive a $10 risk-free bet during match day
🔹How it works:

• Make a $50 or more deposit
• Get a risk-free bet on the EURO 2024
• Pick odds no greater than 2.5
• Only use it on handicap, 1×2, or totals

🔹Experience: The best part about the bonus is that I had extra bets to use on the games I already followed. Getting the bonus was quick and painful, and it simply increased the number of bet slips I had to verify in the end.

🔵VIP Program: A VIP program with seven levels providing weekly cashback, level-up prizes

🔹How it works:

• Login
• Play games to earn XP
• Increase your rank
• Claim VIP perks

🔹Experience: The best aspect is the level-up prize with each rank. I found the cashback an excellent addition to a simple and well-integrated program. Personally, I found the first two levels to have enough incentives and provide adequate support.

🔹Limits
I found betting limits to vary, and when I asked for support, they gave me a “see if it works” type answer. When testing bets, I found a low limit of $0.20 for any kind of bet. Higher limits are generally possible, but I always exercise caution on newer sportsbooks, as I set wager limits on my account.

FuturePlay Esports

🔵Games – Over 11 Esports

Looking into the eSports section, I found a satisfactory selection of games, which I must admit was enough for a beginner like myself. In total, I counted 11 titles that were easily accessible from the lobby.

When I analyzed the site closely, I found popular games well-represented, including CS2, Dota 2, and Valorant events. As I always do, CS2 is my go-to esports bet, and I found plenty of games to choose from.

I found FuturePlay lacking in a broader range of bets, missing out on FIFA and replacing them with eFootball or eBasketball, which aren’t to my liking.

🔵Tournaments

My initial review showed evidence that popular tournaments are available on the site. I noticed activity in the League of Legends section and can confirm that they cover LCK, LDL, and LPL for fans.

I found all major tournaments covered, including the CS2 Major, qualifiers, Dota 2 invitational, and Valorant Major. If you’re betting on the site during player breaks, less popular tournaments are still accessible, making the eSports section usable.

🔵Odds

From my interaction with the site, I found the market to be highly competitive compared to other platforms. When placing similar bets on three other sportsbooks, I observed almost no differences in payout potential. The odds offered by FuturePlay are among the best in the market, particularly for eSports.

Decimal odd views are the most common in the industry, and the sportsbook mimics them, but there’s no flexibility on the site. I found no other formats available, not even American or Fractional. This makes it challenging to check other odds and understand my potential winnings better.

🔵Live Betting and Streaming

I discovered their live-betting section to be a game changer for me. Personally, I watch majors all the time, and the functional layout with live streaming attached made wagering on CS2 games so much easier. If you’re used to in-play betting, FuturePlay has an intuitive way of betting and watching the games on Twitch simultaneously.

eSports Bonuses and Promotions

🔹Description: CS:GO Raffle: Enter a raffle and win a Dragon Lore

🔹How to participate:

• Place $5 bets on eSports
• Win 1 ticket for every $5 bet placed
• Raffle lasts between 15th May 2024 – 20th Aug 2024

🔹Experience: The raffle makes betting on eSports more engaging as I can use the prize in the game or cash it out for a bigger payout. While I reviewed the site, I got 10 tickets for myself.

How Did I Connect with FuturePlay Customer Support: A Step-by-Step Process

I found FuturePlay’s support to be well organized for existing and new users and noticed they use a bot in the early stages of interaction.

• My preference has always been direct human contact, but the benefit of the site’s bot integration is that it’s seamlessly integrated to give accurate, quick answers.
• Personally, I believe it’s a helpful bot until I get to interact with a real person.
• If you’re new to the site, their support is very welcoming, providing quick and accurate responses to all your requests.

➡️Everything was smooth when I used their chat, with quick questions and a welcoming agent.

➡️Generally, I also reviewed their FAQ page and found it to be lacking in detail. I noticed they constructed their FAQ section to build trust and only focus on account-based questions – which I personally don’t mind as much.

License and Security – Is FuturePlay Safe & Legit?

Casino licensing is paramount since I’m using anonymous payment methods to bet on FuturePlay.

✔️My preliminary review shows that Dama N.V., an established name in the crypto gambling space with several managed sportsbooks, owns the site.

✔️I found that FuturePlay is registered in Curacao, operates under a valid E-gaming license No. 8048/JAZ2020-13, and is approved by the Curacao government. I prefer not to take information for granted and vouch for it myself. I can confirm through a trusted app that the application and license are valid for 2024.

✔️I reviewed the platform to understand how they maintain security on the site and found two ways.

• Their SSL certificate is valid, and I noticed a security dedicated page attached to my account.
• I always use 2FA and set that up by scanning the QR code from the security page.

✔️Beyond the 2FA and SSL certificates, FuturePlay tracks active sessions across all devices. I noticed a session open on a mobile device, terminated the activity, and quickly changed the password from the same screen.

✔️Personally, I find their security features to be up to my expectations.

Reputation – What do FuturePlay player reviews say?

While researching FuturePlay, I wasn’t sure what to expect, and my initial impression was positive overall.

The site has won no awards, but it is operated by Dama N.V., who has years of experience in the industry.

• I found that FuturePlay has a remarkably low score on Trustpilot, giving a few reasons to trust the platform.
• From my research, the site has an average rating of 3.2 on Trustpilot, based on a single review of 1 star.

➡️Generally, I’d need more data to rate the site accurately, and when I checked on other reviews, I found players complaining about the lack of payouts, similar to the issue reported on Trustpilot.

Restricted Countries

I found FuturePlay has a long list of locations from which players are completely banned from accessing the site. I researched all of them, and here are the countries restricted from using the platform:

Afghanistan, Åland Islands, Albania, Algeria, American Samoa, Andorra, Angola, Anguilla, Antarctica, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Aruba, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belgium, Belize, Benin, Bermuda, Bhutan, Bolivia, Bonaire, Bosnia and, Herzegovina, Botswana, Bouvet Island, British Indian Ocean Territory, Brunei Darussalam, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cabo Verde, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cayman Islands, Central African Republic, Chad, Chile, China, Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Colombia, Comoros, Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Dutch West Indies, Cook Islands, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cuba, Curaçao, Czech Republic, Côte d’Ivoire, Djibouti, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Falkland Islands (Malvinas), Faroe Islands, Fiji, France, French Guiana, French Polynesia, Gabon, Gambia, Georgia, Ghana, Gibraltar, Greece, Greenland, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Guam, Guatemala, Guernsey, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Guyana, Haiti, Hawaii, Heard Island and McDonald Islands, Holy See (Vatican City State), Honduras, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, Iran, Iraq, Isle of Man, Israel, Jamaica, Jersey, Jordan, Kenya, Kiribati, Kyrgyzstan, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Latvia, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Macao,Macedonia, Madagascar, Malawi, Maldives, Mali, Marshall Islands, Martinique, Mauritania, Mauritius, Mayotte, Mexico, Micronesia, Moldova, Monaco, Mongolia, Montenegro, Montserrat, Morocco, Mozambique, Myanmar, Namibia, Nauru, Netherlands, Nepal, New Caledonia, Nicaragua, Niger, Niue, Norfolk Island, North Korea, Northern Mariana Islands, Oman, Pakistan, Palau, Palestine, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Peru, Pitcairn, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Qatar, Republic of the Congo, Réunion, Romania, Rwanda, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Helena, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Martin (French part), Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Samoa, San Marino, Sao Tome and Principe, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Serbia, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Sint Maarten (Dutch part), Slovakia, Solomon Islands, Somalia, South Georgia and the South, Sandwich Islands, South Sudan, Spain, Sri Lanka, St Eustatius And Saba, Suriname, Svalbard and Jan Mayen, Swaziland, Sweden, Syrian Arab Republic, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Timor-Leste, Togo, Tokelau, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Turks and Caicos Islands, Tuvalu, Uganda, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States of America, United States Minor Outlying Islands, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu, Venezuela, Virgin Islands, Wallis and Futuna, Western Sahara, Yemen, Zambia, Zimbabwe.

FuturePlay Commitment to Responsible Gambling

Responsible gambling is crucial for any sportsbook. I ensured they were committed to responsible gaming, thoroughly reviewing the website and consulting with customer support.

I found FuturePlay’s responsible gambling policy to be reasonable, detailed, and concise enough to effectively convey the message.

🔹If you’re looking to set gambling boundaries so you can safely bet, FuturePlay does this with its lengthy choice of limitations.

As I discovered, they offer deposit, loss, and wager limits, which I personally set from my account.

🔹I found excluding or cooling off my gameplay easy without having to involve their support agents. Plus, if you need help limiting your time on the site, the Session Limit setting instantly restricts your ability to be when the time runs out.

From my experience, FuturePlay permits safe gambling, and I couldn’t be more thrilled.

Did I Have any Problems Playing on FuturePlay?

From my experience betting on games and using the site extensively, I had no issues depositing, withdrawing small sums, or even making longer bets.

While it’s not so much an issue as an inconvenience, I wasn’t able to access the sportsbook from my location due to geo-restrictions.

🔹I personally don’t mind it so much, as I resort to using a VPN to create an account – but it can lead to account closure!

My research found that users faced issues with their withdrawals and account closures. As I see it, it’s a frustrating issue, especially if the site becomes unresponsive and limits access to support – as they did.

How Does This Crypto Sportsbook Stand Out From Competitors?

When I compared FuturePlay to other sportsbooks, I must admit they are fairly competitive in terms of what they offer sports bettors – primarily their odds and betting markets.

🔹What stood out in comparison to platforms like BC.GAME was their customer support readiness.

🔹If you’re committed to responsible gambling, FuturePlay offers a suite of ways to ensure responsible gambling with deposit, wager, or session limits – something not many provide.

🔹I found their payment limits to be better than others – with higher weekly limits of $15,000 – but not as high as $100,000 per month.

Below, I’ve compared FuturePlay to some of the best crypto betting sites.

Why Did I Give FuturePlay Crypto Sportsbook a Rating of 3.8?

My experience on FuturePlay shows that a conservative 3.8 rating for the platform is fair, given the site’s lack of industry notoriety.

🔹The number of betting options, markets, and unique events is worth mentioning, and they are also fully equipped to provide safe, responsible gambling.

Speaking from personal experience, the site lacks trust since it restricts some payments and demands KYC when necessary.

🔹The site’s restriction policy and an invitation to use VPNs can be worrying since they can lead to immediate account closures.

Examining the site in detail, I found experts have a similar stance and have rated it with an average score.

🔹Trustpilot users rate it at 3.2 out of 5, while on Askgamblers, the score is much lower at 5.9 out of 10, helping reiterate my expert view.

My Final Verdict – Do I Recommend Betting at FuturePlay?

Definitely, I would recommend FuturePlay due to its commitment to safe gambling across multiple fronts and easy ways to quickly deposit with crypto.

🔹Its competitive odds are worth mentioning, as is access to live streaming on regular games—which is a rarity.

🔹I could do without the minimum $1 to unlock streaming, but it’s understandable.

In my opinion, their reputation needs some boosting, especially since there are so many advantages to playing at FuturePlay.

🔹My only concern is how they handle large payments since most of the feedback I read had bad remarks about how they handle account and payment issues.

Overall, FuturePlay impresses me with its easy registration, modern design, diverse esports offerings, and strong security measures.
