In Estonia, bet365 operates with an EMTA authorization and the local domain is bet365.ee. Sports betting (toto) is 18+, while the age limit for online casino games is 21+. Below you’ll find a step-by-step overview of markets, rules, account opening, KYC and payments from an Estonian perspective.
Does bet365 offer football markets in Estonia?
Yes. In the Tax and Customs Board’s list of authorized operators you can find Hillside (New Media Malta) PLC – Bet365 together with the local website www.bet365.ee. This confirms that the brand operates in Estonia under a license (toto/sports betting), which is crucial for local players in matters of trust and consumer protection.
Popular markets and how they are settled (bet365 football bets)
Bet365’s “Soccer Rules” describe football betting rules market by market (match status, time frames, player conditions, etc.). The selection below covers the most common ones for an Estonian player.
Match result markets
- 1X2, Double Chance, Draw No Bet, HT/FT. Usually settled on regulation time (90:00 + stoppage time); in special cases (postponement, abandonment) the rules section explains when bets stand or are voided.
Goal and team markets
- Total Goals (Over/Under), BTTS, First/Last Goal. The rules specify when these markets are settled (e.g., “Goalscoring Markets,” “Result/Events/Half-Time”).
Asian markets
- Asian Handicap and Asian Goal Line (incl. corners). These are granular markets where part of the stake may be returned (push). The relevant subpages clarify what happens when a match is shortened/abandoned.
Player and event markets
- Player to Score/First Goalscorer, cards, corners, free-kicks, etc. Important detail: the player must start, otherwise player-related bets are usually void (e.g., the Scorecast/Timecast rule). There are also separate rules for free-kick and 10-minute interval markets.

How to open an account and pass KYC (bet365 football bets)
1) Register on bet365.ee. Go to bet365.ee and choose Join/Register. (The local landing page points to sports betting/live offers.)
2) Provide the basics. Enter your name, date of birth (18+ for sports betting), contact details and address.
3) Verify your identity (KYC). Bet365 explains in the Help Centre that identity verification is required for full account access: name/date of birth, residential address and, if needed, a liveness check.
4) Set limits. Under responsible gambling, define deposit/bet/time limits.
5) Log in and search “Soccer”. Football appears in the list of sports; there you’ll find today’s matches, live markets and outrights.
Note. In practice, documents are requested as JPG/PDF; the name must match the account. Incomplete KYC prolongs withdrawals.
Deposits and withdrawals (bet365 football bets)
Bet365’s Help Centre emphasizes: available methods vary by region; withdrawals are made to the same channel where possible as used for deposits. Processing times vary (instant e-wallets vs. bank transfer).
Practical tips.
- Use a payment method in the same name (bank account/card must match the account holder).
- Keep your balance in a currency that reduces FX costs.
- If “Withdrawal Pending” takes a long time, check KYC status and bank maintenance windows.
Rules and disputes: what to know before betting (bet365 football bets)
- Postponed/abandoned match: the rules state when bets are held, voided or settled. See the “Matches Postponed, Abandoned or Interrupted” section.
- 90-minute frame: most markets settle on regulation time; extra time/penalties are exceptions (marked on specific markets).
- Player must start: on player markets (e.g., Scorecast/Timecast) bets are void if the player does not start.
- Set-piece interval markets: e.g., “10-minute free-kick markets” count only attempts within the specified window; if the window is interrupted, the corresponding void rules apply.
Responsible gambling and HAMPI (bet365 football bets)
- Age limits: 18+ for sports betting; 21+ for online casino. This is confirmed by an overview of Estonian gambling practice (KYC obligation, offering of limits, HAMPI option).
- HAMPI self-exclusion: via e-MTA you can request a self-ban of 6–36 months; the MTA describes the channels (e-MTA, service office, venue) and the revocation logic.
