Optibet Sportsbook Overview

Optibet is a prominent Latvian sportsbook that has been up and running since 1999. The bookmaker website has a betting line for sports bets, along with online slots from leading developers, table and card games, an exclusive poker room, unique video draws and mini-games.

The bookmaker attracts users with swift payouts and a welcome bonus in the form of a risk-free bet up to €20.

Registration at the sportsbook is open to players from the Baltic states, Scandinavia and Western Europe.

Optibet kicked-off in Riga, establishing five offline betting shops in 1999. Two years later the bookmaker advanced into the digital world, launching an official website to facilitate online bets.

In 2004 Optibet moved from brick-and-mortar to fully online operation by closing down its clubs.

Originally restricted exclusively to the Latvian market, 2007 marked a major strategic expansion for the company. It secured licenses to operate in neighbouring Estonia and Lithuania. The geographical reach amplified further in 2012, setting its sights on Sweden and Finland, rapidly growing the customer base. 2015 witnessed even further expansion, with the bookmaker welcoming users from Ukraine, Belarus, Nigeria, Poland and Romania.

2012 saw an exciting addition to the website – online casino games. A major development in 2016 was introducing a proprietary poker room, further broadening the product offering.

In 2020 Optibet demonstrated its adaptiveness and resilience by reintroducing offline betting. As of 2025 the company operates over 30 gaming clubs in Latvia and Estonia, solidifying its strong physical presence.

The official Optibet website is translated into several languages: Latvian, English and others.

For real-money gaming users undergo registration by filling out a short questionnaire. The bookmaker asks for an email address and a password to access the account.

Latvian users register with the betting shop using automatic identification with an ID-SMART number.

To confirm identity customers upload photos of the passport, foreign passport, or ID card in the account. Document verification takes no more than 48 hours.

The bookmaker reserves the right to request video link verification or photographs of other documents at any time.
