M88 Review

A household name in the Asian betting circle, M88 is now starting to make a name for itself in the Indian betting scene.

Read on for a comprehensive review of the M88 mansion, which goes into details about everything you should know before putting your money down to wager.

We’ll also be touching upon what it was like signing up with M88 India, depositing money, placing bets and many more.

In this section, we'll give you a straight lowdown of M88, outlining both the good things and bad things that we observed during testing.

Yes, M88 is a solid Indian betting site that packages a decent amount of betting markets and reasonably attractive odds across multiple sports, good welcome bonus offer in a plain user interface that’s easy to navigate.

If you’re looking for a safe and legal betting site in India with favourable odds and decent wagering requirements, you should give M88 a go and sign up with them.

M88 gets our stamp of approval.

First things first, let's look at the welcome bonus - who doesn’t like one?

At MyBettingSitesIndia, we understand that welcome bonus offers are a huge factor when it comes to choosing a betting site.

In the below section, we break down the ongoing M88 Welcome Bonus offer in detail so you know what to expect when you sign up.

New users signing up with M88 can take advantage of a couple of interesting welcome offers.

See details below.

We strongly recommend that you check out these welcome offers, mainly because

• No big deposit is required; get started at ₹500

• Flexibility to choose from several sports and casino offerings

• The wagering requirement is not too stiff

Overall, there’s a good value for the amount of money you’re likely to get.

In addition to welcome bonus, M88 treats their users with some attractive reload bonuses for players who've already deposited money and placed bets with them. Why should new users have all the fun?

The best bit about these M88 deposit bonuses are they're quite topical, limited-time offers which are well put-together with reasonable wagering requirements.

Of the different ongoing promotions on their site, this limited-period 200% reload cricket 🏏 promo for deposited users, in particular, caught our eye. And it’s quite topical too, considering that there's plenty of T20 action this month with BBL getting to the business end and SA20 just getting underway.

Details of this deposit bonus are given below:

• 200% up to ₹ 10,000.
• Not for new users
• Min Deposit: ₹4000
• Wagering requirements: 4x on cricket fixtures
• Validity: 7 days

T&C's apply

As you can see from the image below, this offer is up for grabs for a limited 48 hour window only. But, M88 comes up with such exciting offers from time to time so keep an eye out for them.

M88 accepts multiple currencies but for the sake of this review let’s focus on the deposits and withdrawals being done in Indian Rupees.

For withdrawals, M88 offers E-Wallet, Crypto and Bank Transfer along with AstroPay, which is supposedly the most commonly used E-Wallet.

At the time of writing this review, Bank Transfer was unavailable and that left us with E-wallet and Crypto as our go-to options.

Withdrawals do take a bit of time so expect a processing time of anywhere between 24 and 48 hours.

As far as limits are concerned, it depends from one payment method to another.

M88 has several features to offer to bettors, but here are a few unique and interesting things that caught our eye and we strongly believe will catch yours too.

We’ll go through each feature based on how we think it fared and how much it can impact the overall betting experience, either positively or negatively.

Included in this list are popular eSports titles such as Dota 2, CS 2, League of Legends, Starcraft 2, Rainbow Six, Warcraft 3, and Valorant— just to name a few.

At the moment, their Racing category is a bit thin and for some reason M88 has decided there's no room for Horse Racing or Greyhound Racing. So if taking a punt on horses or bets is something you enjoy from time to time, check out the other sportsbooks like Stake which have a dedicated category just for those events.

As far as betting markets are concerned, M88 ticks most of the boxes. The sports catalog at M88 isn't necessarily the biggest you'll come across, but it covers all the major sports including some popular picks of Indian bettors such as Badminton, Tennis, and Horse Racing. Kabaddi matches and leagues are few and far between in the sportsbook, though.

Anyway, for the sake of this M88 review, we'll zero in on their offerings for Cricket and Football.

As we always do at MyBettingSitesIndia, we'll keep an eye out for these categories and give you updated information whenever there's a development in terms of new addition to the catalog.

Cricket is hands down the most bet-on sport in India, and M88 does a reasonably good job of meeting the requirements of Indian cricket bettors.

We think M88 gets the fundamentals right, covering a reasonably big segment of markets and offering decent odds. In addition, their coverage of the game is wide-ranging, as well.

M88 cricket betting has all formats of the game covered.

Cricket fans will find plenty of events to bet on at M88, with coverage spanning Indian domestic T20 tournaments like the SMAT and popular global franchise competitions like the IPL, BBL, SA20, and CPL etc.

The range of markets available for cricket may not be in the same league as the best betting sites in India like 1Xbet for instance, but we still had a good variety of options to pick from.

For example, we reviewed the markets available for a contest between Mumbai and Vidarbha in the recently held Syed Mushtaq Ali Cricket tournament in India. Guess what?

We found 39 different markets, sorted into various categories namely Main, Overs, Players, and Specials.

As we noted, 39 may not be a huge number. For comparison, 1XBet — one of the top cricket betting sites in India — had a staggering 416 markets for bettors to pick and choose from for the same match.

Browsing through their extensive sports catalog of live and pre-match listings, we realised before long that M88’s football offerings are far superior to any other sport on site.

Football fans have very little to moan about M88, though. No other sport compares to football in this sportsbook, when it comes to the breadth of markets available or the features we went over in the previous section.

• You can choose to place your bets on Handicap, Over/Under, and Moneyline markets as default, but it’s not too hard to find a few other interesting variants, as well, if you look closer.
• The Bet Builder option was readily available for a few football games, allowing us to roll our bets and up the stakes in our unique way.

It would have been great had they made it available for other sports like cricket, tennis and the like, but, as of writing, bet builders are available for football games.

Expanding the bet builder feature to all sports would enhance the user-experience on M88 considerably.

Live betting was nothing out of the ordinary and was limited in terms of what it had to offer.

We found the odds compelling on a 1x2 market and jumped at it not before it threw an error saying Live Betting was temporarily suspended.

We encountered some odd glitches with their live betting options in particular.

We decided to wait it out and give it a go a few minutes later, and it worked alright this time around.

Barring this teeny odd glitch, we didn’t notice any glaring errors to report on as we went hopping from one category to the other scouring for good betting opportunities.

And the overall live betting experience was good all round.

We enjoyed keeping a tab on the match through the match tracker feature. Designed to let bettors know how the game has ebbed and flowed, it gives insights into some key aspects of the game.

For instance, the football match we placed our bets on had a match tracker showing possession, corners, cards, strikes on and off target, and more.

M88 is one of those few bookmakers in India that care about offering live-streaming feeds to punters.

Although the number of events being streamed live is not substantial, this feature is great for a start.

This feature holds great relevance to eSports betting enthusiasts in India, though, as they can catch the live action of various matches from different leagues through Twitch streams.

In addition to the documentation they have on their site, M88 supports their customers through Live Chat 🎧 and Email 📧.

The support agent we chatted with was responsive and answered all our questions in detail and also escalated our complaint about bank transfers being unavailable .
