News & Updates

Epicbet Casino has rolled out a brand-new loyalty programme called Epicverse, and it looks like the days of mystery points gathering dust in the corner are officially over.

Play, Earn, Repeat

The new system follows a simple formula: play, earn XP and Coins, unlock rewards, and spend those Coins on prizes you actually want. Revolutionary concept, we know.

Every real-money wager placed in the casino or sportsbook earns XP, helping players progress towards Coin Drops that trigger regularly as they play.

The more active you are, the more opportunities you'll have to collect Coins and unlock additional rewards in the Shop.

No More One-Size-Fits-All Rewards

Now here’s where it gets slightly spicy. 

Coin Drops aren’t fixed. They’re personalised. 

Epicbet Casino uses an algorithm that looks at your recent play and long-term activity, then decides what your drop is worth.

So yeah, two people hit the same milestone, and don’t necessarily get the same goodies. 

The Shop is where Coins actually matter. No random junk rewards, no weird filler prizes - you pick what you want. Finally!

And then there are Missions, which basically gamify the whole thing even more. Think challenges across sports, casino games, and bet types, with more XP and Coins up for grabs the more you mess around with them.

Whether you’re grinding it on purpose or just accidentally racking up XP while doing your usual bets… Epicbet’s clearly betting on the fact that people like unlocking stuff.

Do you? 

As the group stage of the tournament is coming to an end, the atmosphere is heating up across the stadiums in the US, Mexico, and Canada. Football fans had an amazing week watching superstars like Messi and Ronaldo in their absolute best form.

There is still more to play, despite several teams securing their place in the playoffs. It’s going to be one hot summer!

Bonus Offers You Won’t Find Anywhere Else

It wouldn’t be a world-class tournament without some amazing betting offers to boot, would it?

Let’s start with 22Bet. Their offer is a great choice for bettors who prefer making accumulator bets:

Campeonbet welcomes new customers with a lucrative free bet, ideal for these upcoming matches:

SapphireBet is handing out free bets, too, but for these, you just need a verified account (one per customer, though):

Nine Teams Have Secured Their Spots in the Playoffs

Even though we’re several days away from the round of 32, we already have teams that we’ll be rooting for.

Germany, Argentina, and Brazil have secured their spots. This comes as no surprise to anyone who watches football, as all three are ranked very high by online bookies. While they still have more games to play, it’s certain that France, England, and Spain will also qualify for the playoffs.

Who are you rooting for? Looking for even more bonuses for betting on football matches? Head to our Football Planet page and collect the offers.

These two are already through, but a win for either will see them top the Group and have a slightly easier route to the final on the back of that. And it’s not just these two who have had strong results, as this column is on a 5-match winning streak that included three winners at odds against.

Can France win again? Can the column win again? Let’s find out.

Betting Tip: Norway - France

So five winners in a row, and we’re trying to make it six. That streak of 11 matches with ‘overs’ in them suggests we’ll get at least three goals again here, as does the fact that the last three games between these two ended 3-3, 2-1 Norway and 4-0 France.

But we’re going to be a bit bolder than that and include the France win as well. As good as Norway have been, this will be a much tougher task, and France look good for the win.

• Key Stat: France are on an 11-match streak of over 2.5 goals games stretching back to September 2025 when they drew 0-0 with Ukraine, a run that has included scoring exactly three goals in four of their last five matches. 
• Best Bet: France to win and Over 2.5 Goals
• Odds: 2.3 (at the time of writing)

Norway

Norway are two from two and already qualified to the next round after wins by 4-1 and 3-2 over Iraq and Senegal respectively. 

As expected, it’s been Erling Haaland doing most of the heavy lifting with back-to-back braces that have seen him climb up to second in the Golden Boot winner table, just one behind five-goal man Lionel Messi. 

But there have also been good contributions from the likes of winger Antonio Musa and midfielder Sander Berge, so though Haaland has been the one grabbing the headlines as you’d expect, everyone has played their part. 

They could, however, do with a goal from Alexander Sorloth just to release some pressure on Haaland. The Atletico Madrid man scored 22 goals last season but hasn’t been at his best so far and is yet to score at the World Cup. 

• Player to watch: Erling Haaland - 2.5 to score anytime / 3.75 to have 3 or more shots on target

France

France started slowly against Senegal, only really getting going in the second half, but they were far more impressive against Iraq. 

So 3-0 and 3-1 wins also have them comfortably in the next round, and they're looking very much like one of the best teams at this tournament.

Kylian Mbappe has matched Haaland’s four goals, Ousmane Dembele finally scored in a World Cup game in what is his third World Cup tournament, and Bayern Munich man Michael Olise has been superb in both games, orchestrating most of the side’s chances and looking in the form of his life. 

There may be a temptation to rest at least one of those three here, but they have plenty of quality on the bench to make up for if that is the case.

• Player to watch: Michael Oliseh - 1.83 to score or assist / 2.3 to be fouled 3 or more times

Did you know? 

France and Norway are two of just five teams that have yet to have a player booked after two games, the others being Senegal, Germany and Japan.

We’ve given our casino review pages a fresh new look - and more importantly, a smarter way to use them.

At AskGamblers, casino reviews aren’t just content.

They’re tools players rely on to make confident decisions, and tools casinos rely on to present themselves fairly and transparently.

That’s why this redesign focuses on clarity, usability, and getting the right information in front of you at the right moment.

The new layout is cleaner and easier to scan, with clearer rankings, better structure, and smoother navigation throughout the page. Key details are now easier to spot, and if a video review is available, you can jump straight in without leaving the page.

We’ve also simplified how offers are presented. Each review now features a single, clear call-to-action, so there’s no second-guessing or choice overload.

Bonus details, bonus codes, and important Terms and Conditions are shown upfront, helping players understand what they’re getting before they click.

Why Our Reviews Matter 

For players, our reviews are about trust. From CasinoRank and status labels to player ratings and complaint responses, everything is designed to help you evaluate casinos quickly and confidently.

For online casinos, the redesign brings clearer presentation, consistent evaluation, and better visibility for what really matters - fair play, strong offers, and good player experience.

We’ve also made reviews more interactive. From next week, players will be able to suggest edits if something looks off, leave more detailed feedback, and explore bonuses, complaints, and news more easily than ever.

In short: same AskGamblers truth, better delivery.

Take a look at our casino reviews - you might notice deciding where to play just got a whole lot easier.

Starting today, the new rules, announced by the UK Gambling Commission nearly a year ago, are entering into force.

Namely, the change includes a ban on bonus mixing and capping the bonus wagering requirements to 10x, two measures designed to contribute to a safer and simpler gambling experience.

No More Mixed Bonuses

As promised by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission in March 2025, today marks the entering into force of the latest set of rules for UK-based online casinos and sportsbooks.

The first rule concerns a blanket ban on mixed product offers, prohibiting operators from promoting two or more types of gambling, such as sports betting and casino games.

Operators carrying the UKGC licence are no longer allowed to mix sport betting and casino gaming bonuses.

The new rule aims to reduce harm and boost fairness, given that evidence has shown gamblers are exposed to a greater risk of harm when gambling on multiple products. Hopefully, the new regulation will bring more clarity and clear the confusion often caused by complex terms and conditions.

Limited Bonus Restaking

The second rule concerns wagering any winnings derived from a bonus multiple times before players are allowed to withdraw them.

Wagering requirements at online casinos in the UK are officially limited to 10x.

According to UKGC, any playthrough requirement above 10x may lead to confusion and longer gambling periods.

Capping the wagering requirement should decrease the likelihood of harm and improve transparency without jeopardising consumers' choice, the regulator noted.

More Clarity for Consumers

UK operators were given nearly a year to prepare for the shift that promises to bring more clarity and increase the safety and simplicity of consumer promotional offers. Players in the UK “will benefit from new rules imposed on gambling operators," the UKGC said back in March 2025.

Commenting on the update at the time, Tim Miller, Executive Director for Research and Policy, said that “these changes will better protect consumers from gambling harm and give consumers much better clarity on, and certainty of, offers before they decide to sign up.”
