KTO Ireland Sportsbook Review

What will you find when you land on the kto.com betting site? What kind of betting experience will you have with this bookmaker? What are the features, bonuses and customer support options you can avail of here? Who are KTO?

These are all great questions and in this review we will answer all these and more. This is your full lowdown on this betting site. It’s worth mentioning straight off the bat that the version of the site you will access from Ireland is the KTO Brazil site, so there is very much a Brazilian flavour to proceedings. That brings some drawbacks, and you will certainly find more variety (in terms of everything) elsewhere. But don’t make up your mind just yet. Give us a chance to review the KTO betting site in much more detail. That’s what we’ll do right here, so don’t go anywhere. 

So what are the elements to KTO that will entice you in? And what aspects of this sports betting site did we find wanting? Here are our KTO strengths and weaknesses: 

✔️ KTO Strengths 

• Variety of sports and markets: No one can say there isn’t plenty of choice with KTO, with plenty of sports and markets
• Features: Here you can find full and partial cash-out for your bets, live betting, and a bet builder
• Esports and Virtuals: This bookmaker does a first rate job at providing sports gaming betting options

❌ KTO Weaknesses 

• Lack of Irish focus: This is a site that is focused primarily on the Brazilian market, so there are sports and markets missing that are a loss to Irish punters
• Lack of bonuses: Outside of the sign-up bonus and acca boost, there’s nothing else.
• No mobile apps: The mobile version of the desktop site works fine, but it’s not the same.

Conclusion 

So there you have it. KTO is a pretty good site all in all, but as an Irish bettor, why would you really spend time here when there are other sites that are much more focused to what Irish punters look for? 

Welcome to our review of the KTO sports betting site. It’s our aim to give you our experience of the KTO site so you can make your own informed choice about whether to use this bookmaker or not.

So starting with the KTO welcome package and bonuses. It’s worth noting that this Curacao-licenced site actually has a few variations, but the site we can access from Ireland is the Brazilian version. We don’t know why that’s the case, that’s just what comes up. So the welcome package – a $10 risk free bet – is given in US dollars. And from there on, everything has very much a Brazilian flavour, including with the focus on sports and betting markets.

Not that this is a bad thing. But we have to consider that, as bettors based in Ireland, you are probably going to have a preference for those sports and markets that are more typical on this side of the Atlantic. And this is one of the main issues we have with KTO. If we want something familiar, we are not going to get it here.

As for other bonuses, there isn’t much here outside of the welcome bonus. You can play a Super Toto football lotto, and there’s a boost on combo (accumulators) bets. That’s it. However, in terms of features, there’s live betting, a bet builder, and partial as well as full cash-out.

The sports coverage is more than decent, with more than 30 sports available, as well as virtuals, Esports and specials. The market coverage is definitely deeper elsewhere, though.

From an Irish perspective, there’s GAA, but the market depth isn’t there beyond the big inter-county games. And although there’s horse racing, it’s only focused on Brazilian racing. And therein lies the problem.

Outside of that, the support functions such as customer service and banking are all perfectly decent. There are no dedicated mobile apps, though. And dare we say it, no real reason to switch to KTO.

Here we couldn’t make it clearer: it’s our KTO star review. 5 stars if it’s great, one star if it’s not!

Bonuses & Offers ⭐⭐

Apart from the sign-up offer and acca boost, there’s literally nothing else here.

Betting Variety ⭐⭐⭐

A great number of sports and Esports, but lacking in markets that interest Irish bettors outside the biggest global sports.

Banking Options ⭐⭐⭐⭐

As well as bank card and transfer, there are loads of Ewallets available, including Neteller and Skrill.

Mobile experience ⭐⭐

There are no dedicated betting apps, but the mobile version of the desktop site works well enough.

Payout Speed ⭐⭐⭐

Standard payout speeds among all options (maximum 72 hours) leaves little to complain about here.

Security ⭐⭐⭐

A secure site but only a Curacao licence to speak of.

Software & Games  ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great Esports and virtual offerings so a real thumbs up here.

Betting Experience ⭐⭐⭐

Everything is okay – no more or no less, and certainly nothing to get excited about.

Customer Support ⭐⭐⭐

There’s email and a live chat service that operates between 12pm and 3am Irish time. Responses are decent enough, but the FAQ section is sparse in the extreme.

Right then, so what features will you get with KTO? Here we run through them:

KTO’s live betting

KTO has a solid live betting offering, with live betting available on all of the sports that KTO covers, including all the favourites.

KTO’s full and partial cash out

A great feature is that you can not only fully cash out your KTO bets, but you can avail of a partial cash out option too, which not all sports betting sites offer.

KTO’s bet builder

It’s great to see there’s a bet builder option with KTO. On the downside, it’s only available on soccer. On the plus side, you can tailor your own bet with up to six selections.

KTO’s super toto soccer lottery

Enter the computer-generated Super Toto and try to predict the 1×2 result on a set number of football matches to win big (currently $25,000). There are consolation prizes too.

Live betting is one of the main focuses of the KTO sportsbook offering.

Indeed, it would be fair to say that the niche this bookmaker is looking to cover is live betting on the go for serious bettors.

Other than the usual cash out and partial cash out options, there are not a lot of innovations on the live betting option offered by KTO, although the Quick Bet feature allows the faster placing of in-play wagers where necessary.

There is a wide array on live betting markets offered, and over 30,000 in-play events offered each month. The in-play view is easily navigable, and the multi-view option supports betting on up to five in-play events at once. There are added statistics too, and some events can be live streamed.

The KTO live betting offering is a really good alternative to some of the most established providers on the market, which is high praise for a relatively new sportsbook.

An important question for any sports betting fan is ‘What kind of sports coverage does this betting site offer?’ Well, with KTO it’s more than decent. Sports coverage here includes: 

• Soccer
• Tennis
• Basketball
• Esports and Virtuals
• Much more besides

KTO’s Football ⚽

Like so many sports betting sites, KTO’s main focus is football, or soccer. And with the Brazilian focus of the site, you can be sure the Brasileiro Serie A gets pride of place. But don’t fret, there are all the big European leagues and competitions too, and much more besides.  

KTO’s Tennis 🎾

Another priority at KTO is tennis, and you be sure to find options on everything from the ATP and WTA tour to Challenger and ITF events. 

KTO’s Basketball 🏀

If you love basketball, then you’ll be impressed with what’s here. As well as the NBA and NCAA, you’ll get domestic and inter-continental competitions from all over the globe. Truly impressive. 

KTO’s Virtuals, Esports and Specials 🎮

Something else that is truly impressive about KTO is its commitment to Egaming. As well as a host of virtual sports, you’ll find Esports including League of Legends, Dota 2, Counter-Strike, Call of Duty and more besides. And the specials cover entertainment, sports, politics and music.  

KTO’s other sports 

As well as everything mentioned so far, you’ll also find volleyball, ice hockey, table tennis, motor sports, cycling, MMA, horse racing, GAA, cricket, darts, golf, snooker and more besides.  

KTO’s sponsorship deals 🏆

KTO doesn’t have any high-profile sponsorship deals in place, but does have local agreements with some Brazilian sports teams, including being the main shirt sponsor of FC Cascavel and official sponsor of Caxias do sul basketball club. 

It’s all well and good listing the sports that a betting site has to offer. What really makes a difference is the betting markets you’ll find once you click in to the sport. So here we give your more detail on the betting markets and types of bets you can find with KTO.  

KTO’s Betting Markets: 

A glance at a KTO soccer match, tennis game or horse race will quickly tell you that all of these betting markets can be found: 

• 1×2
• Totals
• Classic handicap
• Goals
• Correct Score
• Total Games
• Odds/Evens
• And much more

KTO’s Types of Bets Available 

There are a decent number of bet types covered at KTO, from combos (accumulators and bet builder), live betting, outrights, fast markets (on soccer), player head-to-heads and more. You’ll find most of the bet types you love, even if the depth of markets can be a little short on the sports at times.  

Sadly, at the time of writing KTO has no dedicated mobile apps. The desktop version of the site does indeed work on mobile, and works well, which may be the reason why the owners of the site have been slow to develop native mobile apps. We always prefer a native app to a mobile version of the desktop, but in this case there is little wrong with what KTO offer. You can access all bonuses and features, and the navigation and viewing are fine.

Mobile app’s promotions

N/A

We’ll be honest, KTO’s sports bonuses will leave you flat. That’s because we could only find three to speak of. They are as follows:

KTO’s Welcome bonus

Get a $10 risk-free bet

KTO’s $25,000 Super Toto

Correct predict 13 1×2 results to win, with consolation prizes also awarded.

KTO’s Combo Booster

Get a boost to your combo bet (accumulator) depending on how many options you have added. It starts at 3% for three selections and goes all the way up to 100% for 21+ selections.

Banking options with KTO depend upon your country of residence. In Ireland you can avail of bank card, bank transfer or even Ewallet transfers via the likes of Neteller and Skrill. In most cases withdrawals will only be via the method used to make a deposit. KTO aims to complete withdrawals within 72 hours with no fees. Please note no withdrawal can be made without the upload of a copy of your passport, ID card or driving licence.

The minimum bet amount is 10 cents, and the maximum winning amount is 100,000 euros over a 24-hour period. The maximum withdrawal limit is 5,000 euro per calendar week.
