Reliability, Integrity, and Safety
The safety level of any bookie can be measured by the availability of the bookmakers’ license. Fastbet (Bethard Group Limited) is licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority and by SGA in Sweden.
Fastbet treats your data very carefully and in the strictest fashion. They guarantee that all personal information collected on their site is treated securely according to their policies and strict data protection standards. Fastbet tries to adhere to ISO27001 principles as much as possible.
Recommendations
The number of restricted countries is very high. With this quality service, Fastbet creates high standards in the industry and can be an excellent example of how bookies should operate. So it will be great if players from more countries could bet and play on a quality betting site.
At the time of this review writing, there are no casino or live casino bonus offer or promotions on the site. It would be nice to have a casino welcome offer for free spins for example.
