When punters are looking for a new betting site, they will often take a look at the bonuses and promotions that are up for grabs. Let’s explore what Tikitaka has to offer:

First deposit bonus

As a new customer at the Tikitaka betting site, you can claim a welcome bonus in the form of a matched deposit. This offers a 100% match up to €100. Over in Canada, the match goes as high as $150 whereas German users are limited to €50. To take advantage of this offer, you need to deposit a minimum of €20/$30. There are 6x wagering requirements and bonus funds must be placed on events with odds of at least 2.00.

It’s always worth taking a look at the terms and conditions before you claim a bonus just in case there’s anything that can affect how you can use it.

Bonuses for existing customers

We were pleased to see that there were also bonuses and rewards that went beyond the welcome package. While we have seen more at other sportsbooks, the 2 offers here are well worth taking advantage of:

• Weekly reload: This offers you a 50% match up to €500. It can be claimed once per week between Monday and Sunday. It comes with 8x wagering.
• Weekly cashback: Receive 10% of your losses back each week. You can claim a maximum of €500 and these funds come with 3x wagering.

Expert comment:

It was good to be able to filter the bonuses at Tikitaka. This meant that I could see the ones that were exclusively for sports. These bonuses are displayed boldly and I applaud the lack of small print.

Again, this sportsbook doesn’t come with the biggest offerings that we’ve seen, but what is present can certainly make your experience more profitable. As of September 2024, we saw:

• Acca boost up to 100%
• 2 goals ahead early payout

We went on the hunt for a VIP program on the site. All we could find was one that was aimed at casino players rather than those using the sportsbook.

We always stress that bettors should only wager at sites that are licensed and regulated. While we couldn’t find a license number, we did see that it has been issued by the Philippines Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR).

We also noted that there was an SSL certificate in place. This means that the levels of encryption at the site will protect your personal and financial details.

It’s clear that those behind the Tikitaka site have designed it with the user experience at the forefront of their minds. It took us a matter of minutes to create an account. As soon as we’d done that, we able to place a bet just as quick. Everything about this site is simple and well thought out. Even the cashier section was a straightforward as possible. It all comes together to offer a pleasurable experience.

We think that this site is great for beginners. There’s more than enough to keep experience bettors happy, but the simple layout and ease of use make this ideal for a newcomer.

Ease of navigation

The Tikitaka site is extremely easy to navigate and we had no issues finding our way around. You’ll find a side banner that has icons directing you to different areas as well as a clear list of all of the sports that are available. Sports with in-play options were easy to spot as they were marked clearly as ‘Live’ in striking red. Clicking on any selection leads to the available markets being displayed so there’s no need to worry about how to find these. Overall, there’s nothing but good news here.

Design

The red, white, and blue give a real US feel to the site. The colours all work well and ensure that everything is clear. Put simply, this is a sportsbook that just looks good. We saw that features had been added to the design to enhance the experience, such as cashout and bet builder. We were, however, a little disappointed to find that live streams were restricted to esports.

The first thing to point out here is that there is no dedicated Tikitaka app at present. However, that doesn’t mean that you can’t use this sportsbook on the go. All you need to do is head to your mobile browser and visit the site from there. You can even add a shortcut to your home screen so that it’s easier to access.

The positive point about having no app is that you can use Tikitaka regardless of the device that you own. The one thing to note here though is that the site states that you get the best experience by using Google Chrome as your browser.

• Android app: No
• iOS app: No

The payment methods offered are an important factor when reviewing a sportsbook. Let’s take a look at what the Tikitaka cashier section has to offer:

Deposit methods

We found that there were 10 deposit methods on offer here. While we have seen more with other operators, this is still impressive. There are choices such as Paysafecard, Visa, Neteller, and a range of cryptos. Deposits are always credited to your account in an instant meaning that you can start to wager straight away.

• Minimum deposits: €10/$10
• Maximum deposit: €5,000/$14,000

Withdrawal methods

While users in Canada are limited to 8 withdrawal methods, those elsewhere can choose from 10. Everyone has the option of using crypto and this leads to instant withdrawals. What Canada lacks, compared to the other countries, is the opportunity to use bank transfer. Where this can be used, it can take up to 7 days for funds to reach you.

• Minimum withdrawal: €10/$10
• Maximum withdrawal: €5,000/$10,000

The first time that you experience any issues, we’d recommend heading over to the help centre. This will open in a new window and allow you to choose from a variety of topics. These include:

• Deposits
• Withdrawals
• Bonuses and promotions
• Technical

If you can’t find the answer you need, the next step is to reach out via the live chat function. This is available 24/7. We used this to make contact and ask about the bet builder feature. When we clicked, we found ourselves at number 14 in a queue. This queue seemed to move fast and we were connected to an agent in 2-4 minutes. Once talking to the agent, there was a slight delay as they went to seek confirmation of the detail. We much prefer this to an agent who says something that they are unsure of.

There is also the option to make contact via email. We didn’t try this but have seen that you can expect a response within 48 hours.

It’s now time to take a look at just what Tikitaka has to offer in terms of sports betting. As you read on, we’re going to be looking at the sports, odds, markets, and everything else that you need to know:

Range of sports

There are 25 sports to bet on here. As we looked at these, we found that all of the top sports were covered. This meant that we could bet on things like football, tennis, basketball, and American football. It was also good to see less popular sports being covered such as water polo and pool. There was also the option to bet on politics if that is something that appeals.

When looking in a little more detail, we saw that Tikitaka does well when it comes to covering the major leagues. Taking football as an example, there’s the opportunity to bet on La Liga, the EPL, Seria A, and the Champions League. However, we noticed that smaller leagues were given little attention, and this was the case across all sports.

Tikitaka odds

When you find a site that has competitive odds, you can be sure that your maximising your win potential. This is an area where Tikitaka delivers extremely well. The average margins we found across the site were an impressive 6.4%. When we zoned in on football, we found that these were 5.5%. As we zoned in even further, and looked at the Champions League, margins were as low as 4%.

There weren’t any areas that caused concern. Boxing came in at 7.2% with tennis coming in just under 8%.

Live betting experience

As we first looked at the in-play opportunities, we have to say that we were impressed. There were more than 2,000 events taking place, and that meant that there were plenty of betting options. The sports that you can place live bets on are:

• Football
• Tennis
• Table tennis
• Cricket
• Futsal
• Volleyball
• Snooker/pool

What we liked about this section is the fact that you could cashout your bet. This offers a great well to secure a win or to minimise losses. The downside was the lack of any live streams. We hope that these are something that will be added in the future.

Wager Limits

Despite a thorough read of the terms and conditions, we couldn’t find any reference to betting limits. That being the case, we reached out via live chat for the second time. The agent told us that they could not give a simple answer as limits vary between sports, events, and markets. We experimented by inputting different amounts into our bet slip and it seemed to still be accepting up to €5,000.

It’s worth being aware that winnings are capped here. You can’t win more than €250,000 from a single bet. Let’s say your luck is in and you place a €1 bet that has the potential to return a million. The reality is that you’d receive your €250,000, but the remaining €750,000 would be written off.

Available markets

We can’t fault the number of markets on offer here. Across all sports, Tikitaka does well with the likes of moneylines, over/under, and outrights. It was also good to see points spread. Some of the other markets we enjoyed wagering on were:

• Both teams to score
• 1st half winner
• Full time winner
• Full time score
• Number of games in tennis

Deposit limits

Tikitaka has varying deposit limits depending on the payment option that you choose. In Canada, the majority of options have a $20 minimum, but there’s the chance to go as low as $10 with Interac. Those in other countries can also enjoy low minimums of €10. The exception here is Bitcoin, where this increases to €30.

Canadian punters can withdraw as much as $10,000. They will need to use Doge, Litecoin, or USD Tether to do this. Elsewhere, the maximum withdrawal is €5,000.

The majority of sportsbooks now allow punters to bet on esports, and Tikitaka is no exception. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer:

Range of esports

It has to be said that we were slightly disappointed with what this sportsbook had to offer. There were just 5 titles to wager on, namely:

• Counter-Strike 2
• Dota 2
• Valorant
• League of Legends
• Kings of Glory

While these are some of the most popular esports, we can’t help but feel that the likes of Rocket League, COD, and Rainbow 6 should be included.

Odds and margins

We were keen to learn about the potential returns when betting on esports, so we took the time to look at the average margins. These came in at 6.6%. This is well below the average that we’ve seen so this is really appealing to those looking to bet.

Esports live bets

It jumped out at us that the in-play section in esports is extremely busy. As we visited, there were just under 200 live events taking place. Among these, we saw the CBCS Masters for Counter-Strike 2, Worlds for League of Legends, and VCT Ascension America for Valorant.

What makes the live betting experience even better is the fact that every event is live streamed. The quality of the streams is outstanding and we really enjoyed our time exploring what was taking place.

Range of esports markets

There’s no room for improvement when it comes to the markets that can be bet on here. There are plenty of options to enjoy, and the possibilities seem almost endless. Just some of what we came across were:

• Moneyline
• Away to win at least 1 map
• Map 1 overtime
• Will be slain
• Total kills

Like many other sportsbooks that we’ve reviewed, Tikitaka also has an online casino to play at. We thought that we’d take a look to see just how good it is:

Game providers

When it comes to casino games, it’s all about quality over quantity. We can certainly say that Tikitaka delivers here thanks to the impressive game providers that supply the titles. They come from top names such as Play ‘n Go, Kalamba, Quickspin, and Betsoft. This means that, no matter what game you play, you can be sure of the best possible experience.

Game variety

As is the case with most online casinos, Tikitaka focuses on slots. We found that there were thousands of titles to choose from. Just some of these include:

• Sugar Rush Fever
• The Dog House Megaways
• Rich Wilde in the Tome of Madness
• Big Bass Splash

We also found a good selection of instant games like Cash grab, Plinko, and Mines.

Table games had a small showing here as the operator has decided to focus on the live experience with these rather than RNG titles.

Live dealer games

This isn’t the largest selection of live dealer games that we’ve seen at a casino, but the quality is exceptional. That’s thanks to the fact that the games are powered by Evolution. This provider is known as being the best when it comes to live games. There were 16 variants of roulette, blackjack, baccarat, and poker. What we really enjoyed were the gameshow titles. We had great fun playing Gonzo’s Treasure Map and Funky time.

Limits

What we like about the Tikitaka casino is the fact that it caters for all budgets. If you’re on the cautious side, you don’t need to risk a fortune to enjoy what’s on offer. In fact, there are games of roulette and blackjack that you can join with a wager as low as €1. At the other end of the spectrum, there are also plenty of options for high rollers. We saw VIP tables where you could wager as much as €15,000.

Having read this far, there’s a good chance that you’ll want to take the next step and create your own account at the Tikitaka betting site. If so, here’s the steps that you’ll need to follow:

1. Visit the Tikitaka site
2. Click the red button in the top righthand corner that says ‘Register’
3. Select the sports welcome bonus
4. Enter your email and create a password
5. You’ll then be taken to a new form to enter your personal details
6. Accept the terms and conditions then click to submit
7. Wait for a confirmation email. This will contain a link to click to confirm your account
8. You can now deposit and start to wager

Is this a sportsbook that we’d recommend? The answer here is a resounding yes. We have to acknowledge some of the shortcomings that we’ve seen, but overall this is a solid site with a great offering.

Yes, there may have been fewer sports to bet on than we’ve seen at other bookies, but what Tikitaka does, it does well. We can’t help but be impressed by the margins that we came across, especially the 4% on the Champions League.

The bet builder and cashout option are both great features. The biggest drawback for us is the lack of live streams for traditional sports. This is something that is outstanding in the esports sections.

We feel that many of our readers would enjoy what this operator delivers. We think it’s a great option for those who bet on football though and that’s because of those margins that we’ve already mentioned.
