Xpressbet Bonuses and Promotions – 5/5
Welcome bonus
A competitive Xpressbet promo code offer greeted us while compiling this Xpressbet review. However, know that the welcome bonuses change periodically and the bonus you encounter may be different than what we found at the time of writing this review.
Other Xpressbet Bonuses
Xpressbet Rewards
The Xpressbet Rewards program provides bettors with the opportunity to earn rewards points for every dollar wagered, which can then be transferred into wagering credit. Certain promotions offer rewards points boosts when bets are placed on specific races. At the time of writing this Xpressbet review, 5 rewards points for all bets placed on the company’s customer appreciation day were being offered. Customers should monitor the Xpressbet website to stay updated on the regularly updated list of rewards points promotions.
$50 Referral Bonus
Customers that entice friends to sign up with Xpressbet are eligible for a $50 referral bonus. The process is straightforward, this Xpressbet review found, but does require new customers to wager $100 within 30 days of signing up before those that referred them receive the $50 bonus. Customers that refer friends to the service must have an account that is in good standing, and also need to complete an XB Friends online enrollment form, available via the Xpressbet website. Perhaps the strongest aspect of this promotion is that existing customers are eligible for unlimited referral bonuses.
Betting markets – 5/5
As already mentioned in this Xpressbet review, customers can bet on thoroughbreds, quarter horses and harness racing at over 300 racetracks worldwide, which paves the way for a host of betting options.
Just about every racetrack in the United States and Canada is covered, while markets on racetracks in Australia, New Zealand, and France were also open at the time of writing. However, due to large fields in some races in the United Kingdom, Xpressbet does not cover all UK racetracks. In terms of the types of wagers available, Xpressbet offers most of the bet types found trackside, as well as exotic wagers such as multi-leg bets, trifectas, supertrifectas and picks 3-6.
Odds – 5/5
This Xpressbet review anticipated finding some of the most competitive horse racing odds when scouring through Xpressbet’s markets and, for the most part, this expectation was met. Comparative to TwinSpires and TVG, Xpressbet’s odds represented strong value on race cards at Santa Anita and Miami Valley, often producing longer fixed win and place odds on some of the favorite horses.
While some odds did lag behind TwinSpires for most races on the card at The Meadows racetrack on the same day, the overall spread of odds was still very competitive.
Mobile app – 4/5
There are lots of positives about the Xpressbet mobile app, along with one glaring negative. Let’s start this section of the Xpressbet review with the good: silky design, smooth navigation, straightforward deposit and withdrawal methods, an innovative wagering pad and an integrated live video streaming module.
All of these positive are undone, somewhat, by the Xpressbet app being available exclusively to iOS users, who can download it from Apple’s official iTunes store. Bettors with Android mobile devices will have to settle for accessing the mobile version of the Xpressbet site through their internet browsers.
Payment options – 4/5
Xpressfund, a free service that allows customers to transfer money between their checking and Xpressbet accounts, is the most efficient, convenient and cost-effective way to deposit funds. Credit and debit cards, PayPal, MoneyPak, PayNearMe, wire transfer, and checks are alternative methods of funding accounts. However, these often come at a cost, such as the $5 service fee for a debit card deposit we encountered during this Xpressbet review.
Wire transfers are only free when the deposit amount exceeds $250, with the customer incurring a $5 fee otherwise. Withdrawal methods are not as expansive, but all are free. Xpressfund is again the best option and funds the customer’s personal bank account immediately, provided they have previously made an Xpressfund deposit. Customers can also choose to withdraw by check or PayPal.
Customer care – 3.5/5
Xpressbet Customer Support answered our questions during our Xpressbet review. However, there aren’t too many ways to contact the company. Namely, the lack of Live Chat on the website is a bummer.
Furthermore, the FAQ section of the website is not as thorough as some of its competitors. Customers can call Xpressbet 10:30 am-11 pm US Eastern time daily.

Streaming on Xpressbet – 4.5/5
A recently upgraded video streaming service allows account holders to watch races from across the US. Additionally, an extensive library of free video replays is available. Also, access them directly in the race program or through search from the replay archive. Accessing both live vision and replays was quick and came without any technical issues during this Xpressbet review.
Overall Xpressbet Rating – 4.43/5
There was much to like about the various products and services we encountered while compiling this Xpressbet review. The referral bonus scheme is great for existing customers. Meanwhile, the rewards program, betting markets, and competitive odds place Xpressbet as a market leader. Unfortunately, there’s a lack of contact methods for customers to direct their queries. Also, the absence of an Android app isn’t great. Overall, customers get a convenient and enjoyable betting experience with Xpressbet.
