Tonybet

Professional poker player and entrepreneur Antanas Guoga, better known as Tony G, assembled a team of iGaming professionals in 2009 to launch his own gaming site. And it wasn’t to be just poker, he was looking for a comprehensive gambling and betting destination.

TonyBet was born and bound to grow from its humble beginnings in Lithuania to a worldwide recognized and reputable hangout with punters from dozens of countries making it their favourite betting site. On offer are Sports, In-Play, Live Casino, Casino, Live Games and Poker – that covers just about every corner of the iGaming world.

TonyBet is owned and operated by Tonybet OÜ Casinos, a company registered in Lithuania, under a license from the Estonian Tax and Customs Board. This gives TonyBet access to most regulated markets in Europe and beyond while at the same time ensuring safe and fair games in compliance with stringent Responsible Gambling regulations.

The GMBLRS Detective

Admittedly, I am not a Poker expert, nor even a player other than having the odd game night with friends for pennies on a Saturday evening together with a few beers. Unsurprisingly, I never heard of Tony G and had to use Google to find out who’s behind the name. In real life, he’s Antanas Guoga who showed his competitiveness early in his life by becoming the Rubik’s Cube champion of Lithuania at the tender age of 11. By the time he turned 18, he was into professional poker player and took on his stage name Tony G.

The list of his achievements in the world’s most popular card game would be too long to mention them all in this review. Throughout his career, he placed in the front ranks and won some of the most prestigious international poker tournaments. At the same time, he turned into an entrepreneur, operating various poker websites which culminated in 2009 with the launch of his own gaming site TonyBet. And here we are, one decade later, looking at a comprehensive destination that covers virtually all types of betting and casino play.

Loading TonyBet will bring up a sleek, mobile-optimized site displaying the Sports section as default. There is an endless list of events and markets that the bookmaker part of TonyBet is covering, from live and pre-match betting to real-life events in entertainment and politics. Live Games is a new addition to their portfolio, broadcasting table games directly from a studio via betgames.tv.

We will focus our review on the casino section which includes Live Casino. TonyBet chose some of the best and most reputable providers for its casino offering and currently lists 500+ slots and table games from a balanced mix of legacy providers as well as newcomers and rising stars. Among them are NoLimit City, NetEnt, Big Time Gaming, Play’n GO, Elk Studios, Quickspin and more.

In some markets, TonyBet offers Bitcoin and Instant Banking options such as Sofort or GiroPay for deposits and withdrawals. Minimum deposit/withdrawal at TonyBet is €/$10.

Withdrawing winnings after a lucky session is not instant as a deposit but the casino pays timely enough to place them in the fast-to-medium category.
