"EGB" only accepts online bets and does not have betting shops.

In the first years of operation, the bookmaker only accepted bets on the outcome of esports events. In 2014, the bookmaker added matches from other sports to its line.

The bookmaker is focused on accepting sports bets and provides an online casino service.

The company's service is available to adult users after registration.

Nigerian-language support is provided for players from Nigeria and CIS countries.

For quick account opening in the bookmaker EGB, players develop a unique login and password to access the site and provide an email address.

Complete registration involves filling out a form with personal information - name, surname, date of birth, country and city of residence.

The bookmaker EGB does not require mandatory identification. Players confirm their identity only in case of a request from the bookmaker's support service.

In the "EGB" line, esports competitions are presented, with no more than ten types of sports available for classic sports enthusiasts.

Players bet on the outcomes of football, basketball, volleyball, and tennis matches. Within classic disciplines, EGB completely ignores women's championships.

The quality of the odds for most events is minimal, except for esports matches.

Live

In live, the bookmaker only accepts bets on the most significant matches within classic sports and presents up to 90% of esports matches previously presented in pre-match.

The bookmaker offers broadcasts for matches in Dota2, CS: GO, LoL, and other popular video games.

Football

The football line includes matches of Eurocups and the highest national divisions in Europe.

The odds, even for the most popular football matches, consist of markers for bets on the outcome, handicap, and total. EGB does not offer bets on statistics or individual performance.

Hockey

The hockey line consists of matches of the National Hockey League of the USA and final matches within the highest European divisions.

Players note the low quality of the odds for most hockey matches, with only 10-15 game markets.

In live, you can often find hockey matches with only one market for bets on the outcome.

Basketball

The basketball line consists of positions for betting on matches of the National Basketball Association of the USA and leading events of European tournaments.

In the line-up, players will find up to 20 markets - outcomes, totals, and handicaps.

In live, the bookmaker does not accept bets on the indicators of individual quarters or the individual statistics of basketball players.

The odds in EGB for classic sports disciplines significantly lag behind the quotes in popular European bookmakers. The average commission level for football, hockey, and other sports exceeds 10%.
