Bookmaker review

Guts

Guts has been around since 2013 and carries a Malta license under MT SecureTrade. It scores 3.8/5: a capable sportsbook with solid odds, held back by limited promos and a web-only mobile path.

Key facts

License

Founded
2013
Headline offer

Available, marked as sponsored.

Welcome offer

100% match up to €100. Wagering is 8x at 1.8 minimum odds over 60 days.

Casino welcome is separate and cannot be stacked with the sportsbook match.

Sportsbook

Football, ice hockey and tennis are priced close to market median. Bet Builder is available on the top five European leagues.

Odds are good for a mid-size MGA book; niche markets thin out quickly.

No dedicated app

Guts runs entirely on web - no iOS or Android store app. The PWA is usable but lag can appear on older phones during peak load.

If you are phone-first, Mobilebet or LeoVegas will be a better experience.

Loyalty Squad

The Loyalty Squad is a tiered programme that pays out free bets and casino spins based on activity. For regular casino players it adds real top-line value.

The sports-only player gets less out of it - the VIP tier is primarily cash-out focused on casino turnover.

Regulation

MGA license. Full responsible-gambling tooling including deposit limits and self-exclusion.

Customer funds are segregated and account history is exportable.
