ForteBet Review

Last modified: 24 May 2024

Sports wagering is getting increasingly more popular in Uganda with each passing day and in turn, new sportsbooks are continuously rising to keep up with demand. One of these sportsbooks is ForteBet, a fairly new bookie with quite an ambition. In this article, we are going to talk about it in detail and definitively say whether you should or should not try it out for yourself.

Ups and Downs

Main Features

The platform boasts quite a significant number of features, such as live betting, an extensive gallery of slot machines, virtual sports wagering, and many more! What truly makes ForteBet stand out from the rest are the detailed and comprehensive statistics that’ll make your research quicker and more efficient, as well as consensually more profitable.

ForteBet Application

Unfortunately, there is no application for ForteBet available as of this moment. We do hope, however, that this will change in the future. Each and every betting platform these days is pretty much required to have a mobile app if it wants to stay relevant, and the lack of it on ForteBet is a significant downside. 

Legality and Safety of the Platform

ForteBet is officially licensed by the Ugandan Board of Lotteries and Gaming and operates directly under the jurisdiction of Ugandan authorities. When it comes to the security of the platform, it follows the industry standard and is on par with other sportsbooks within the country.

Advice for Successful Betting

There are some nuances you should know before starting to wager. First, never bet blindly. Always do your research, and learn about teams, players and strategies employed by them. This will make your wagering more profitable and will result in an increasing number of winning bets.

Secondly, set limits for yourself, and don’t waste all your money on sports betting. Remember everything is fine only in moderation.

Thirdly, diversify your bets. Don’t wager on a single league or even a single sport. This way, even if one bet of yours loses, you still have plenty of chances at winning the others.

Bet Placement

1

1. Launch the ForteBet webpage, ensure you’re logged in.

2

2. Pick an Event. Find the sport and the game you’d like to wager on and select the wagering options from the ones presented.

3

3. Place the Bet. State the wager sum and check if everything is correct, then close the bet.

Betting Markets

There are several wagering options available on ForteBet which we will discuss separately. 

Match Goals

The most straightforward betting option. In it, you just place a bet on whether the total number of goals scored will be higher than a certain fixed point in the betting market. Clean and simple.

First Ten Minutes Result

By going with the FTMR betting market, you’re challenged to predict which team, if any, will win the first ten minutes of the match. The timeline taken into consideration goes from the kick-off whistle to 9:59 of the first half of the game.

Bet Types

On ForteBet, several types of bets are also at your disposal.

Single Bets

The classic option. In singles, you wager on one simple outcome of one game, no more, no less.

Parlays

Contrary to singles, in parlays you wager on the results of several games. The more selections you add to the bet slip, the higher odds you’ll be able to catch. However, be careful with this type of bet. If any of your picks lose, the entire bet slip is forfeited.

Betting Limits

There are no set limits on how much you may wager on the platform. We, however, advise you against betting too much. It is unhealthy behaviour and might lead to gambling addiction.

Funds Withdrawal

1

1. Proceed to ForteBet Uganda. Open up the ForteBet webpage and ensure you’re logged in.

2

2. Find the “Withdrawal” Section. Find the “Withdrawal” tab and go there. Once inside, select your preferred option for payment.

3. Transfer the Funds. Specify the sum you’d like to take out and confirm the transaction.

Withdrawal Options

As is with a deposit, you may withdraw your funds through Airtel, MTN or at the local branch office.

Casino

ForteBet does not only provide its customers with an incredible sports wagering experience but also offers them a well-thought and engaging in-built casino to play at.

Slot Machines

The platform contains a large number of slot machines and games with quite large payout percentages and entertaining gameplay. All of them are made by the top of line game developers and are directly aimed at bringing you as much joy as possible. Let us take a look at a few of them.

European Roulette

A cornerstone of every casino is a roulette table and ForteBet is not an exception. European roulette will provide you with a traditional feeling of roulette without the need of leaving the cosy confinements of your home.

Turbo Slots

Traditional slots are also present on ForteBet’s roster of machines. Turbo slots will provide you with an immersive gaming experience for quite a low price and with a chance to win big.

Rich Fish

Is another quite engaging slot machine in which you will have an opportunity to win a significant sum of money. It is probably one of the most profitable games on the platform with payout percentages around 97%.

Available Sport

On the platform you will be able to wager on some of the most prominent sports from across the globe, including, but not limited to, soccer, cricket, MMA, and boxing.

Availability by Country

In Conclusion

ForteBet is not an exceptional sportsbook, but for what it is worth, it does its job quite well.
