If you are looking for a place that offers both extensive sports betting markets and a diverse range of casino titles, then you should definitely consider Leon. This casino and sportsbook went live in 2017 and brands itself as the ideal place for both beginners and professional players. The sportsbook is rife with bets on the biggest sporting events, and it has some extremely competitive prices, especially in the 0% Margin betting category (more on that later). With generous markets in over 20 different types of sports – and that is not to mention esports and virtual sports – Leon Casino and Sportsbook is buzzing with excitement.

Sports Betting

4.3/5

You can find everything you need on the sportsbook main page. On your left, there is a list of all the sports that you can bet on, with an additional filter for all events, or events that will start in the next 1 hour, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours or 24 hours. On your right you can find your betslip, and in the middle you can check out all the amazing betting markets. 

Sports:

The sports that have the most betting markets are football, ice hockey, tennis, basketball and esports. Games in any of these sports can have over a hundred betting opportunities. For football, there can be several hundred bets for individual games, including handicaps, totals bets, 1st half/2nd half bets, corners, cards and more. Whilst the sports coverage is very good, Leon Sportsbook does not include horse racing bets.

Esports/Virtual Sports:

Though it appears as only one category in the list on the left hand side, do not underestimate the esports betting markets at Leon Sportsbook. These cover all the top tournaments and competitions in games such as Dota 2, League of Legends, Call of Duty, CrossFire, Valorant, StarCraft 2 and CS:GO, amongst others. You may find over 50 different markets on individual events, which is a lot more than other sportsbooks (which only offer basic betting markets). The virtual sports markets are also a good option for punters who want 24/7 betting action. There are virtual basketball, tennis, and football games that you can bet on as you watch.

0% Margin Bets and Betslips:

Earlier we mentioned the 0% margin bet, and hopefully you are still humouring yourself as to what it may be. If you have not guessed, it is basically betting markets in which the house advantage (juice or vig) is reduced to a minimum. 0% would imply that there is no juice, but on careful calculation you will find that there is a small edge – under 1% and usually closer to 0.5%. These 0% margin bets are usually offered on the top football and basketball events, and they are almost always moneylines.

The betslips at Leon Sportsbook are easy to use and allow you to make single bets, multi bets and system bets. In the system bets, you are allowed to combine numerous selections and form a bet that does not need all your selections to come through. For example, with 4 selections you can bet on 2/4 or 3/4 of those picks to come through. However, we must note that there are no full-cover betting options. These would be bets such as Patent, Trixie, Yankee, and so on.

Casino Games

4.4/5

The casino side of Leon has a large selection of games and will please a wide variety of gamers. It could easily act as a standalone casino as it is so heavily stacked with games.

It is certainly worth browsing through and the Leon Recommends list also pops up under these games – so you can always find similar content.

Licensing and Regulation

3.9/5

Leon Casino and Sportsbook holds two gaming licences: one with the Curacao Gaming Authority and the other with the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. These two jurisdictions are famous in the gambling industry and obtaining a licence from either requires an operator to meet strict industry requirements. What this means for you as a player is that Leon is a safe place to play your casino games or make your sports bets. It is regulated by two premier gambling authorities and is fully legitimate.

With these licences, Leon can provide its gaming and betting services to a large range of countries around the world. However, there are countries from which Leon cannot accept players. These include the US, the UK, Spain, Italy, France, Israel and the Netherlands. For the full list of countries that are restricted, please refer to the terms and conditions at Leon.

Customer Support

3.9/5

Leon Casino and Sportsbook has round the clock customer support, but if you are not a registered member then you can only contact them via email. There is a small help button at the bottom right hand corner of the website with which you can access a modest FAQ section and send an email. If you have an account at Leon Casino and Sportsbook, then you can also use the live chat function. This will get you immediate assistance and hopefully you will be able to find an answer to your question.

Mobile Availability

4.1/5

When designing the website, the operators of Leon Casino and Sportsbook paid extra attention to create interface that could be easily transposed to mobile devices, so gamers who use mobile phones could access Leon. The website looks smart and easy to manage on mobile phones, and you can even play all the games on your device as they were designed using HTML5 software.

If you are an Android user, you can go a step further and download the Leon app straight from the Play Store. You can set it up in a matter of minutes, and then forever after you can enjoy playing at the casino or opening your bet slip with a couple of taps on your phone. Where this really comes in handy is with those live sports bets – especially if you have a cash out function and you can save precious seconds to access your bet slip during a heated game of football or any other sport. Unfortunately, there is no mobile app for Apple devices.

Summary

4.1/5

The company that owns the Casino and Sportsbook, Leon, has been around since 2007 and accrued plenty of know-how in the gaming service business. This definitely comes across in their fantastic range of sports bets and multitude of casino titles. As a punter, there is plenty to look forward to at Leon’s sportsbook.

We must point out, once again, that despite the excellent choice of football, basketball, tennis and ice hockey bets, there are no betting markets for horse racing. Furthermore, you cannot place full-cover (or round-robin) bets.

All in all, Leon Casino and Sportsbook offers a well-rounded gaming and betting experience. The inclusion of cryptocurrency will interest a handful of punters and gamers, and we highly recommend keeping an eye out for those mouth-watering deals in the 0% Margin betting markets.
