MerkurXtip Review

Introduction

Those in search of pure sports betting will find MerkurXtip (formerly known as just XTiP) to be a solid option. It serves as a sister brand to Cashpoint, and its creators have been working in the industry since 1996. Since 2013, the brand included an online casino product including a NetEnt platform, live casino, traditional casino games, and mobile options. The product line downsized to a sportsbook only with licensing in Malta minus the UK license it once held. A welcome bonus is available at signup, giving you an added boost to kick off your journey!

Merkur Sportwetten GmbH manages national and international sports betting associated with Gauselmann Group. Divisions under this umbrella include betting agent Cashpoint Solutions in Vienna and sports betting provider Cashpoint Limited based in Malta, German sales organizations operating as the MerkurXtip brand, Austria and Denmark as the Cashpoint brand, Belgium as the Betcenter brand and Poland, as of 2019, as the Totolotek brand.

Tip: Aggregate withdrawal requests of 2,330 EUR or more require player verification documents prior to processing.

Conclusion

While there’s no doubt they’ve got the betting aspect covered with multiple sporting events we’re concerned that the cons outweigh the pros here. For starters, it lacks significantly in customer support, offering it via email or phone only. Additionally, there are no details regarding a rewards program, no promotions listed (except for a welcome bonus), and no withdrawal limits listed in the T&C's, something players like to know right off the bat. They also reserve the right to cap maximum winnings, however, the exact amount is also missing from the terms. Before signing up, you have to ask yourself whether these are factors you’re ok with.
