One area MaximBet needs to improve significantly on is regular bonus bets and promotions after its very generous Welcome Bonus. MaximBet does little in the way of regular promotions nor does it really look to hero normal promotions or bonuses.
There is arguably no better welcome bonus in Colorado than the first deposit bonus given by MaximBet. To get bettors kick-started at the premium MaximBet, the company is offering a 100% deposit match up to the incredible amount of $1000. The cherry on top of this very generous welcome offer though is that all those who register and deposit go into the draw to win adrenaline-rush experiences like racing a Ferrari or flying a plane and even a trip away with $50,000 cash. It is an incredible way to kick off a betting experience, no doubt about that.
While MaximBet has very little in the way of bonus bet promotions, it does offer some enticing contests headlined by a prize of a four-person trip to Los Angeles with $50,000 spending money. MaximBet is also strong on giving away prize packs on social media, typically from a Maxim partner, such as Usual Wines.
MaxRewards is MaximBet’s strong loyalty program. Points can be accumulated easily and can be transferred into free bets as well as other non-wagering benefits. Points are accumulated through depositing and wagering with betting on parlays delivering the most points.

An android app is also available for MaximBet and it can be downloaded from both the Google Playstore and from the MaximBet site. Much like its iOS counterpart there have been concerns about glitches and operational workability.
MaximBet does have an iOS app that can easily be downloaded via the Apple Store. The MaximBet iOS app has received mixed reviews with a rating of 3.3 in the Apple Store. The app has a slick look but has been criticised for being glitchy.
The MaximBet mobile site is just a reformatted version of the desktop. It lacks the smoothness and intuition of the apps but looks and operates at a decent enough standard. MaximBet launched with only a mobile app which tells you the business believe it is of a high enough standard to hold up.
The MaximBet desktop site has a slick look, which should be of little surprise considering it is linked with the sleek and luxurious Maxim media brand. Site speed is a little concern as loading times are relatively slow compared to competitors. While the branding is particularly sleek, this does not transfer to events and markets with the font choice and use of icons a little strange. The site, in essence, makes a strong first impression but lacks depth though usability is very good.

MaximBet is a partnership between well known global media brand Maxim and Malta-based wagering operator Carousel. It is an interesting proposition with the attempt to leverage Maxim and the luxurious offerings around the brand, a chance of seeing MaximBet really differentiate itself in a crowded US sportsbook market. With the European wagering knowledge of Carousel, the smart money is on MaximBet becoming a unique operator in the American market.
MaximBet is a wagering brand based in Malta that is now licensed in Colorado. Maximbet is therefore legal and safe to wager on in Colorado. The company launched in the United States in September and is growing fast in Colorado. Maximbet is planning to launch in more states soon with Ohio and Pennsylvania expected to be next away.
A quick and easy sign-up process gets bettors off to a positive start with MaximBet. Signing up takes no longer than three minutes and is a commonsense approach to an area many betting organisations fail miserably at. A big join button is the first thing that greets you, guiding you to enter a number of personal details. Verification is done with the final four numbers of your social security number. If automatic verification works - as it usually does - then you are right to bet. If automatic verification fails, you will be asked for further proof of identity before being allowed to deposit.
MaximBet has a wide range of betting options that should suit most bettors’ needs. MaximBet covers all the major leagues and sports including the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, UFC, PGA, College Football, College Basketball and plenty more. MaximBet also covers a host of European, Asian and Australian sports and leagues with a heavy coverage of soccer as well as the very entertaining darts.
MaximBet offers live betting on a number of sports, including all the major US leagues. One unique feature is their trading of live props. The site does not provide streaming or scoreboard support though, making it a relatively inferior product if in-play or live wagering is your preferred mode of betting.
MaximBet gets full marks for customer support with a full range of options led by an excellent and quick-to-respond Live Chat function that is operated by real people. MaximBet also has a phone number to garner support, an email address and a quality set of help pages that are more than useful.
MaximBet has made strong inroads into the American wagering scene given its status as a newcomer less than six months old. It has certainly leveraged its experience from Europe, in particular with its wide-range of markets, and it is certainly worth signing up to if, for no other reason, than its exceptional welcome bonus. MaximBet will need to improve in some areas though including banking if it wishes to keep its customers happy.
