Niké – Overview & Rating

Niké has many years of experience in the field of sports betting. It was founded in 1991 and is thus the oldest betting company in Slovakia. The Niké portfolio includes odds betting, live betting, virtual games, an online casino and various interesting bonuses, such as those for newly registered players.

Niké can be proud of several great successes. For example, it is a technological leader in the field of online gambling in Slovakia, especially the mobile application of the betting office Niké.

In 2017, it was even declared the best application for bettors in Slovakia. The company cooperates with televisions in the creation of TV programs and sponsors a number of sporting events in Slovakia. As a legal Slovak operator in the field of online gambling, the company holds a license from the Ministry of Finance of the Slovak Republic.

Design and user-friendliness of the site/app

When you enter the Niké online bookmaker website, you will be greeted by a homepage that contains a very large amount of information. However, this information is very cleverly distributed on the website.

We can say the same about basically all the subpages we find on the Niké website. The whole website is user-friendly. Finding the necessary information is fast and efficient, thanks to which placing bets in Niké is a relatively pleasant experience. We also have to emphasize that the entire website is available in the Slovak language, Hungarian and the English language. However, certain sections are still in the Slovak language even when you select English. This might be inconvenient for players from the UK and other countries.

The design of the website is generally good, but it would not hurt if it underwent a slight modernization. The process of placing bets on the Niké website is very easy and intuitive. Another very convenient thing is that you can choose from a dark or a light mode on their website.

Niké mobile application is 100% reliable and extremely easy to use. To download, go to the mobile website m.Niké.sk and download the file with the application. Or you can visit the App Store or the Google Play store.

Services and live

Niké betting office has a really rich offer of betting events. You will find popular sports such as football, hockey, tennis or basketball. There are also odds on esports, social events, MMA, boxing, floorball, darts, futsal and more. Many punters will certainly appreciate the live TV broadcasts from the NHL, NBA, tennis or various football leagues. Those can be watched on TV, tablet and mobile phone via TV Niké. Live broadcasts are perfectly complemented by a rich offer of LIVE betting opportunities.

Live line

Today, live betting as well as live broadcasts are an important part of any good bookmaker. Niké also brings a decent portion of live bets. During each live match, there is a live chat on the right side, where you can communicate with other users or even share your bet. Live bets can be divided into two windows, so you can see an overview of all matches at the same time. This includes odds, as well as a detail of one match with derived bets. In addition to all this, you can also watch a live stream and chat at the same time.

On TV Niké you can enjoy the Spanish, Italian or French football league, as well as ATP and WTA tournaments, American sports (NHL, NBA), volleyball, snooker, handball and more.

To watch live sports, you must have a minimum of €5 in your account or a €1 bet. You can enjoy watching live broadcasts on mobile devices, whether it’s Android or iOS.

Customers at Niké also have the option to sell a bet (cash out) before the end of the match, so the bettor can either prevent a complete loss or have the winnings paid out earlier. This feature, also known as cash-out, is available for solo, hand, pre-match and live betting. Currently, this function is already improved by automation (you can set an automatic payout at the amount you choose). Cash-out is possible for all bets, solo and combinations, pre-match and live bets.

Reliability, integrity and safety

In general, playing on the Niké online bookmaker website is safe. In Slovakia, there is a legal obligation to verify the data on the player accounts of betting companies. The account is verified by sending a photocopy of an identity card, driver’s license, passport or other personal documents.

The verification of the data and identity of the player takes place online directly in Niké and the documents are checked by authorized persons in compliance with the highest security regulations. The whole process serves to ensure maximum safety of players and for the smooth payment of winnings.

The great thing is that the bookmaker offers a very good level of security. As it is an operator that legally operates in the Slovak territory in the field of online gambling, it must hold a license from the Ministry of Finance of the Slovak Republic. With this license, you can be sure that your funds are most secure and you don’t have to worry about depositing them into your player account. Niké odds betting is operated legally and is subject to the Slovak authorities.

Niké holds an SSL certificate. It encrypts all data that is transferred between your computer or mobile device and a website or server. This certificate also protects your device and account from basic cyber attacks.

The European Union Regulation on the protection of personal data, known as the GDPR, ensures that your personal data at Niké is protected and that the bookmaker does not use it in any unfair way.

What does the site not have?

The bookmaker tends to limit maximums to successful players. The website may be a bit complicated and confusing for beginners and the design is not very modern either. We recommend improving the English translation on their website. Compared to the competition, they have lower odds. Niké sometimes removes some derived bets during the match (e.g. half goals) and therefore it may happen that, for example, 10 minutes into the match you will not be able to use cash out.

In the Niké mobile app, there could be more options for viewing derived bets with quick access. We would also recommend adding live chat to their customer support.
