Parimatch Review 2026: The Cricket Specialist

Thirty years of bookmaking, the deepest IPL markets we have seen, and UPI deposits that just work — let down only by slower bank withdrawals.

Overview

Parimatch has been taking bets since 1994, which makes it one of the oldest brands in our rankings. Originally a Ukrainian bookmaker, it has become a major name through cricket sponsorships and a product built around multi-currency accounts and local payment options. The international site runs on a Curaçao licence.

For cricket bettors, Parimatch is arguably the most complete package: the markets are deep, the payments are convenient, and the support is multi-language. It gives up ground to 1xBet on price and to Stake on payout speed, which is why it sits fourth rather than first.

How we tested

New account on 4 October, verified within six hours. Deposits of $60 via instant banking and $36 via e-wallet. 55 bets over ten days, weighted toward T20 leagues and internationals, plus Premier League, ATP and a handful of kabaddi bets. Three withdrawals timed. Support contacted three times.

Welcome bonus and promotions

The sports welcome bonus is a 150% welcome bonus with the code BETQUARRY; the minimum deposit varies. Wagering is 10× the bonus amount on bets at odds of 1.70 or higher, singles or accumulators, within 14 days.

Example: deposit $48, receive a $72 bonus. You must place $720 of bets at 1.70+ within 14 days. Singles count, which makes this far easier to clear than 1xBet’s acca-only requirement.

The terms are clearly written and we hit no surprises. Ten times is a fair multiplier for a 150% match. The 14-day window is short for casual bettors, so plan your deposit around a busy fixture period.

Ongoing promotions are strong during cricket season: free bets on T20 league match days, boosted odds on international matches, acca insurance (stake back if one leg loses) and a weekly free-bet offer. The casino has a separate welcome package and weekly cashback.

Odds and margins

We measured 5.1% on top-league football 1X2, 4.1% on T20 league match winner and 5.3% on ATP. Cricket pricing is competitive, within half a point of 1xBet. Football is a point behind the leaders, which matters if that is your main sport.

In-play odds on cricket update ball by ball with a 4–7 second acceptance window. Price-movement rejections were rare, two in 25 live attempts.

Sports and markets

Thirty-plus sports are listed, with cricket, football, tennis, basketball and kabaddi getting real depth. The cricket section is the best we have reviewed. A T20 league match carried 180+ markets: match winner, toss, top batter and bowler for each team, highest opening partnership, innings runs over/under, runs at fall of first wicket, individual batter runs, individual bowler wickets, most sixes, man of the match, method of first dismissal, and session and over-by-over totals in play.

Football depth is adequate (300–400 markets on a Premier League match) with corners, cards, player shots and a bet builder. Tennis, basketball and kabaddi are covered with winner, handicap and total markets. Esports and US sports are thin.

Live betting and streaming

The live section uses a cricket-first layout that shows the current over, required rate and a ball-by-ball feed next to the markets. Streaming is available on a good share of cricket (excluding major T20 leagues and some ICC events due to rights), tennis and football. Cashout, full and partial, is offered on most markets.

Deposits and withdrawals

Deposits are straightforward. Options include instant banking, e-wallets, bank transfer, AstroPay, Skrill and USDT. Both of our instant-banking deposits credited instantly.

Withdrawal Method Time
#1 Instant banking 18 h 40 m
#2 Bank transfer 23 h 10 m
#3 USDT TRC-20 5 h 30 m

Withdrawals are the weak point. Fiat payouts took most of a day, and Parimatch’s own terms allow up to 72 hours. There were no fees and no rejections, but if you want same-day cash this is not the site. Crypto is faster but still slower than Stake or 1xBet.

Website and mobile app

The site is clean and modern with a yellow-and-black theme, large match cards and a prominent cricket section. The Android APK and iOS app are well made, with a quick-bet feature and live scores on the home screen. Our only complaint is that the app logged us out twice during the test period for no obvious reason.

Customer support and licensing

Support is excellent. Live chat is 24/7, responses came in under a minute each time, and agents were available in multiple languages. Our withdrawal query was handled with a clear explanation and a timeline, which the bookmaker then met. Phone and email channels are also available. The international site runs on a Curaçao licence; Parimatch also holds licences in several European markets for its local sites.

Verdict

84/100 — Best for cricket. If cricket is your main sport and you want a multi-currency account with local deposits, clear bonus terms and support that understands your questions, Parimatch is the best choice in our rankings. Football bettors and anyone who needs same-day withdrawals should look at 1xBet or Stake first.
