Winz.io Sports Betting Review
Winz.io was founded back in 2020 and belongs to Novatrix SRL, which holds a gambling license from Costa Rica. Winz.io has an excellent reputation online. For example, it has a user rating of 8.3 on Askgamblers.
The gambling company operated as a casino only until 2022. Shortly before the 2022 football World Cup in Qatar, Winz sports betting also went live.
Naturally, the sports betting platform was chosen from Softswiss, since the casino platform was already a Softswiss solution anyway.
The Softswiss sports betting platform is certainly impressive. It offers competitive odds, 22,000 live events, payments with BTC, ETH, LTC, XRP and DOGE, and much more.
Registration is quick and easy. Simply provide an email address and password. Personal details such as name and address only need to be added at the time of withdrawal.
Website and Language
The Winz.io website has been fully translated into German. However, live chat support is currently only available in English and Russian. When you enter the Winz homepage, you automatically land on the casino offering. To get to the sports betting section, you need to click the three lines in the top left and select “Sports Betting” directly below the search field. You are now on the pre-match offering. If you want to view the live betting offering, you simply need to set the slider at the top to “Inplay”. Under the three lines, you’ll now also find a sports betting-relevant menu, which among other things includes a statistics center for all sports.
Somewhat unusual, however, is that the sports betting platform in the desktop version is divided into only 2 sections, namely bets and the bet slip. To get to all sports, another click on the three lines is needed, followed by scrolling down to the sports. Fortunately, the most popular sports can also be found in the two-part section. For niche sports, an unnecessary extra click is required.
Betting Offer and Bet Types
Winz.io offers around 30 different sports to bet on. All popular sports such as football, tennis, basketball and ice hockey are represented. Exotic sports like badminton, squash, floorball and futsal can also be found at Winz.io.
Under the “E-Sports” menu item, there is also an e-sports offering. You can bet on Dota 2, Valorant, Rainbow Six and King of Glory.
The range of betting markets is extensive, but cannot keep up with Bet2Bet or Soft-labs bookmakers. For pretty much every football match in a major league, there are over 250 different bets. Corner betting is also available here, which is becoming increasingly rare among bookmakers. A cashout function is also on board.
The payout ratio at Winz.io varies depending on sport, competition, popularity and bet type. For example, if you bet Over/Under on football in the Bundesliga or Premier League, you get a payout ratio of 94.5%. For 1×2 bets, the average payout ratio is around 93.5%. In the 3rd division it’s around 92.5%, and for smaller leagues like the Regionalliga it’s 89.5%.
Winz.io is not a provider licensed in Germany and is therefore tax-free.
Deposits and Withdrawals
Deposits are possible from €20. As deposit options, Winz.io offers online bank transfer via Volt, Pay via Bank, and the e-wallets EzeeWallet and MiFinity. It’s also possible to deposit using the cryptocurrencies Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, XRP, Tether, Tron and Bnb. The maximum amount that can be deposited is not limited for cryptocurrencies. For the other payment methods, the maximum limit per transaction varies. For more precise information, you can check the table below. As you’ve noticed, Winz.io does not offer credit card deposits. However, since you can top up your Mifinity and EzeeWallet account with a credit card, this isn’t a major problem. Deposits are possible from €20 across all payment methods.
Withdrawals are also possible from €20. For a bank transfer, however, the minimum withdrawal amount is €100. Unfortunately, EzeeWallet is not available as a withdrawal method, meaning you would have to withdraw via bank transfer. It’s best to simply use Mifinity for deposits, since withdrawals via Mifinity are also offered. The withdrawal methods available are: online bank transfer via Volt, Pay via Bank, MiFinity, Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, XRP, Tether, Tron and Bnb. A withdrawal via cryptocurrency or MiFinity takes just 5 minutes. If you withdraw via crypto for the first time, your withdrawal will initially be cancelled and you’ll be asked to verify your wallet address by email. After that, the withdrawal is processed within a few minutes.
For a withdrawal to be carried out, the account naturally has to be verified. Documents can be conveniently uploaded within the account. Winz.io requires a photo of your ID card (front and back), a photo of a current utility bill, and a screenshot of the deposit for verification. Incidentally, Winz.io does not accept scanned documents. Since Winz’s support works around the clock, document processing is usually completed within just a few hours.
Support
Winz.io’s support is available around the clock via live chat and contact form, in English only. You’ll find the contact form in the bottom menu under “Contact” and Customer Service. Below that, there’s also an FAQ answering the most important and frequently asked questions. To reach live chat support, simply click the yellow circle in the bottom right corner. Live chat staff are available fairly quickly, so there’s no long wait time.
Conclusion
Winz.io isn’t the new super-bookmaker, but it is a fairly solid bookmaker with an excellent reputation, fast document verification and quick withdrawals. There are also quite a lot of promotions for existing customers. If you don’t mind that support is currently only available in English, you really can’t go wrong with Winz.io.

Use the bonus code SPORTS to receive both bonuses on your deposit.

- The free bet expires 7 days after activation!
- The free bet can be used on live, pre-match and eSports bets

General Terms and Conditions for the Free Bets Bankroll Bonus
- You can receive the free bets bankroll bonus for a minimum deposit of €20 or 0.0008 BTC by using the bonus code SPORTS in the deposit form
- The deposited amount is matched with the same amount in unclaimed bonus free bets, up to €500 or 0.02 BTC.

- The installments are based on the contribution of settled bets with odds of 1.5 or higher, regardless of whether they win or lose. Exceptions are cancelled bets, voided bets and bets with cashout used.
- As soon as the total of the next installment matches your current average stake, you receive a free bet whose value matches your current average stake. The amount of the free bet received is deducted from the total bonus free bets, and accumulation toward the next installment starts over.
- If the last free bet uses up the remaining bonus amount, it is rounded up to the next possible multiple of 5. For example, if your average stake is €10 but the remaining bonus amount is €7, you receive an OnlyWin free bet worth €10.
- Free bets can only be used for single bets and accumulator bets on events with odds from 1.50 to 10.00 in the sports, in-play and eSports categories.
