News & Updates

Football’s biggest club competition gets underway on Tuesday afternoon, and there are some great matches to look forward to straight away, while last year's runners-up Arsenal look at a very reasonable price to go on and win the whole thing for the first time in their history. 

Best Champions League Betting Tips

• Arsenal to win the Champions League
• Porto on the Double Chance market against Manchester City
• Liverpool to beat Atletico Madrid + Over 2.5 goals

Champions League Winner Odds 

PSG, who have won it in the last two seasons, are 6.0 favourites for a three-peat. The team they beat in last season’s final, Arsenal, are the next shortest in the betting at 7.0, the same price as last year’s La Liga winners Barcelona, who exited the Champions League last year at the quarter-final stage. 

At a slightly bigger 7.5, you can take your pick from Real Madrid or another side who know what it takes to win this: six-time winners (to go with a further five finals) Bayern Munich, whose main man Harry Kane was our pick for top scorer. 

English trio Manchester City (10.00), Liverpool (13) and Manchester United (21) are next, with Atletico at 34.0.

Winner market tip 

Arsenal (7.0) came as close as you can without winning it last year- losing on penalties to PSG- will have learnt from the experience, strengthened their squad in key areas and have won all their four matches so far, including beating Manchester City in the Community Shield and Chelsea in the league on Sunday.   

The extra numbers in their squad will mean they’ll be able to rotate better and have arguably the best defence in Europe, so they have all the tools to go one better this year. 

The Best Matches of Week 1

One of the nice things about the change in format to a one-group preliminary phase is that every week throws up some truly intriguing matches, and that’s certainly the case in the opening week. 

The Pick of Tuesday’s Games 

On Tuesday, record 15-time winners (including wins in the European Cup in the pre-Champions League era) Real Madrid start as 1.62 favourites against Inter Milan in Madrid, who have won the competition three times themselves. To add to the intrigue, when they last won it in 2010, it was under Jose Mourinho, who is now Real's manager. Inter are 5.0 and the draw 4.4. 

Mourinho’s influence is everywhere because another intriguing tie on Tuesday – Porto v Manchester City – features two sides who have both won the trophy in the Champions League era. And who managed Porto when they won it in 2004? Yes, Mourinho. Porto are 4.6 to beat a City side who won it in 2023, while City are 1.7, and the draw is 4.1. 

Two Big Games on Wednesday 

On Wednesday, it’s Liverpool v Atletico Madrid. Liverpool are no strangers to success in this competition themselves, with six wins in it, and though Atletico have never won it, they’ve made three finals, so they know what it takes to go deep in this tournament. There may be some business for Atletico on the Double Chance market at 2.1 while over 2.5 goals looks to be on the cards, albeit at just 1.6. 

At the same time as that one, there’s Napoli v Arsenal where the Gunners are short 1.75 favourites away from home, but then again, they made the final last year and have a 100% domestic winning record so far this season, so you can see why they’re that sort of price.  

Best Bets for Week 1 of Champions League 

Porto started the season very strongly with five wins in the Superliga, four of them without conceding. While City have also been winning over in the Premier League, it hasn’t been easy, and they’ve either conceded or had keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma to thank for some fine saves to allow them to keep on winning. At home and remembering this fixture ended 0-0 a couple of years ago, Porto look a good price at 2.1 on the Double Chance market. 

Atletico Madrid have had a mixed start to their season with two wins, a draw and a loss and may find Liverpool at home too hot to handle in a match that promises to have goals. Liverpool beat Atleti in each of the last three, 3-2, 2-0 and 3-2, so another win with over 2.5 goals in it looks a good prospect at 2.4. 

UEFA Champions League 2026/7 Overview

The 2026-7 Champions League season starts on Tuesday, September 8, with six matches, followed by another six on Wednesday and the last six of the round on Thursday, an innovation whereby every week’s matches are now played across three days rather than two. 

In total, each of the 32 teams plays eight Group Stage matches, four at home, four away. 

At the end of the Group Stage, the Top 8 progress automatically to the Last 16, while those finishing between ninth and 24th contest a play-off round, with those progressing from the Play-Off Round joining the Top 8 in the Last 16. 

After that, it’s the usual knock-out system all the way to the final; teams dropping out of the Champions League no longer ‘fall’ into the Europa League as a consolation prize.

We need a favour. Nothing dramatic, just a few minutes of your time.

We're giving the AskGamblers Loyalty Program a proper tune-up, and instead of sitting in a meeting room guessing what players want, we'd much rather hear it from the people actually using it.

So we've put together a short feedback form, and if you complete it, we'll thank you with 500 Loyalty Tokens.

Tell Us What Works and What Drives You Up The Wall

The survey is all about your experience with the Loyalty Program.

Can you easily find your token balance? Are rewards worth the token cost? Do you prefer cashback, Free Spins, or chunky bonuses? Have you ever had a casino pretend your promo code doesn't exist? (We've heard a few stories.)

There are also questions about how you browse the site, how smooth the claiming process feels, and what you'd improve if you were running the show. Mostly quick multiple-choice questions, plus a couple of spots where you can tell us exactly what's on your mind.

No essays required. Unless you really fancy one.

Every Answer Helps Us Build Something Better

The AskGamblers Loyalty Program is built around rewarding active community members. 

Earn points by doing things like writing reviews, sharing casino experiences, posting winning screenshots, or using our Complaint Service. Those points unlock Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels, while Tokens can be exchanged for exclusive casino bonuses and other rewards.

Now we're looking at the next step.

Maybe earning tokens feels too slow. Maybe you'd love more limited-time offers. Maybe claiming bonuses could be smoother. Or maybe you think we've absolutely nailed it (we won't complain if that's the case).

Whatever your opinion is, we genuinely want to hear it.

So grab your 500 tokens, tell us what you think, and help us build a Loyalty Program that's actually worth being loyal to.

While it might be too early to tell decisively which AI model is the best at giving betting tips, we have already seen enough matches this summer to get an idea about what we can expect from them.

We have ranked them on a leaderboard, thanks to the LLMs competition hosted on our website and powered by Golazzo. Golazzo is also giving new customers boosted odds from 1.96 to 4.00 on Germany to win against Ecuador.

Below are the insights we have from the AI betting tips competition so far.

Nemotron Dominates Profit and ROI, Grok at the Bottom

Nvidia’s Nemotron has been quite productive in our AI betting tips competition so far. It has made over 110 predictions so far and has an accuracy of over 53%, which places it in the top three AI models.

However, where Nemotron dominates is the profit, which is currently over +100u, and the ROI that sits at +24.3% at the moment.

At the bottom of our leaderboard is Grok, with just over 70 settled tips, with around 50% accuracy, but negative profit and -13.1% ROI at the moment. This could be related to the markets Grok chooses and the stakes for those markets.

Which Model to Follow for Betting Tips?

If you look at the individual AI models’ pages on the LLMs Competition page, you will find their preferred betting markets and tips for the upcoming matches. You can even test a few of them to see which ones suit your betting style.

For example, Seed, Claude, and Gemini are the strongest at Asian Handicap, ChatGPT at the Correct Score market, Amazon’s Nova at the Goalscorer market, and others at BTTS and 1x2 markets.

If you would rather skip the boosted odds offer above, consider the Golazzo welcome bonus for new sports betting customers:

That would give you some extra funds to test the betting tips from your selected AI models or claim some outright odds that you find attractive.

Straight from the deserts of Egypt and Pragmatic Play’s factory comes the new online slot called Fury of Anubis. 

Anubis is the ancient Egyptian god of mummification and the afterlife, so you’ll have to thread carefully. We all know what comes with his fury, but what happens when you spin the reels of the new 6x5 slot?

Unleash the Fury...Khm, Features

The new game from Pragmatic Play is visually stunning and we were blown away when we saw the game announcement:

The slot gives you a chance to win up to 10,000x your bet, at a medium volatility. Aye, the game is well balanced with the decent win potential, but it’s packed with action. 

Tumble multipliers, Free Spins, special bets, and feature buys are all packed under the sand dunes. To unpack them, you’ll have to collect some symbols on the grid or simply have a little bit of luck. 

One Thing About Pragmatic Play

Fury of Anubis is a perfect addition to Pragmatic Play’s portfolio. It’s yet to be seen whether the new game will top some of the provider’s most popular titles such as Gates of Olympus. 

Whatever happens, players all over the world will have another beautiful game to enjoy. You can play Fury of Anubis on AskGamblers, but we’re also interested to hear your thoughts on the new game. 

Leave your review and find the slot at your favourite Pragmatic Play casino to play for real money. Good luck!

🎵 Somewhere in the background, "Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down..." is playing softly.

Some complaints start messy. This one started routine - a standard account check with 1xBet Sportsbook.

And then, it slowly turned into a six-month loop of verification requests, document re-submissions, and support replies that kept shifting the goalposts.

At some point, it stopped feeling like a routine check and started feeling like a waiting game with no finish line in sight.

That’s when the player turned to the AskGamblers Complaint Casino Service for help.

From Endless Verification to a $2.54 Million Withdrawal

What followed was a structured mediation process involving both sides - a lot of back-and-forth, a lot of document checks, and eventually, a breakthrough that brought everything back on track.

Eventually, the case was resolved and the full amount was released:

 $2,540,999 successfully withdrawn.

Yup, you read that right.

1xBet Sportsbook History

When it comes to 1xBet Sportsbook, complaint volume on AskGamblers has remained consistently high across a wide range of issues - from withdrawal delays to verification headaches.

But here’s the important part: that doesn’t tell the full story.

While the queue stays busy, many cases are still actively resolved through mediation, especially when both sides engage in the process- just like in this one.

And in this case, that cooperation led to a clear outcome.

Another Happy Ending

After months of verification delays, document checks, and waiting for answers that never quite came fast enough, the AskGamblers Casino Complaint Service stepped in to help move things forward.

The result: $2,540,999 successfully returned to the player.

Not every case is simple. Not every case is quick. But when it works, it really works.

And with this latest resolution, AskGamblers continues its track record of recovered funds:

now totaling $87,309,036 returned to players worldwide.

Another case closed. Another player paid. Another happy ending. 🎉
