Betting markets: what you can bet on in a match

We opened Paris Saint-Germain vs Barcelona in the Champions League. The match page groups markets into tabs — Top, All, Total, Handicap, Period, Half, Score, Goalscorers, Combo, Corners, Statistics, Player and Bookings — and the All tab listed more than 200 markets.

Our favourite oddity: a market on whether the goalscorer takes off his shirt during the goal celebration.

Early Payout

Next to the standard Match Result, the sportsbook offers Match Result (Early Payout) at slightly lower odds. It is a separate market with its own settlement rules, so check the sportsbook rules before you choose it.

Bet types: singles, combo and system

Clicking any odds opens the bet slip on the right. It has three modes:

• Singles — one stake on one selection; with several selections, each is settled separately.
• Combo — an accumulator where all selections must win and the odds multiply.
• System — a set of combos built from your selections, so a bet can still return money if one pick loses.

Under the stake field you will find quick-stake buttons for 5, 20, 50 and 100, the total stake and potential win, a Place Bet button and a Share bet link. My Bets keeps your open and settled bets.

In-Play betting and live statistics

The In-Play section showed 120–140 live events during our visit — tennis led with 46 matches, followed by table tennis, basketball, volleyball and ice hockey. You can filter by All, Sports or Esports, switch on “Only with video” to keep only events with a stream, and expand “Show top markets” under each fixture. The number at the end of each row shows how many live markets the event has, often 20–60.

Live odds move with the game. When something important happens — a goal, a break point, a wicket — markets are briefly suspended and a padlock replaces the price; it reopens with new odds a few seconds later. A statistics panel on the right shows a live match tracker with ball position, head-to-head form and standings, so you can follow a match even without video.

• Watch first, bet second: use the tracker or stream for a few minutes before placing a live bet.
• Expect price changes: odds can shift between clicking and confirming; check the slip before you press Place Bet.
• Set a live budget: in-play betting is fast, so decide your total stake for the session in advance.

Esports betting

A dedicated Esports tab covers Counter-Strike 2 (25 events during our check), Crossfire (14), League of Legends (13), Dota 2 (11), King of Glory, Arena of Valor and Mobile Legends. Next to them run esports simulations — eFootball, eBasketball, eCricket and eTouchdown — including automated “Bots” leagues such as eFootball Bots (88 events) and eBasketball Bots (60), which fill the schedule between real tournaments.

Esports markets follow the structure of each game: match winner, map-by-map betting (the live list shows which map is being played), handicaps and Over/Under totals on rounds, kills or goals. Live esports fixtures with a play icon can be watched inside the sportsbook.

• Check the format — best-of-one matches are far less predictable than best-of-three or best-of-five.
• Roster changes and map pools matter more than team names; read the event info before betting.
• “Bots” leagues are simulated; treat them as entertainment rather than something you can research.

Sportsbook Network Jackpot

A banner at the top of the sportsbook shows a “Sportsbook Network Jackpot” with a Prime tier that was close to €47,600 on our check day and kept growing while we browsed — from €47,537 to €47,596 within an hour. On mobile the same banner collapses into a purple bar that you can expand.

A network jackpot works like a progressive slot jackpot: a shared prize pool grows as players across the sportsbook network place bets, until it is won and resets. It is a rare feature in betting and adds a lottery-style extra to normal wagers. The qualifying conditions are not printed on the banner itself, so open the jackpot details or ask live chat which bets count before you chase it — and never raise your stakes just to “qualify”.

Prediction markets: “Predict the Future”

The Predictions tab is one of the most unusual features at Smash. Instead of match odds, you take a Yes or No position on questions about the world, and the percentage next to each answer shows how the market currently prices it.

Categories include Hot, Politics, Crypto, Finance, Tech, Culture, Economy, Elections, Weather and Uncategorized, with sub-tags such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and Daily. During our check the page showed 47 open markets and 20 trending events.

Prediction markets are still gambling. Prices reflect crowd opinion, not certainty — stake only what you would on any other bet.

Betting on your phone

On mobile the sportsbook switches to a layout built for one hand. A bottom bar with Sports, In-Play, Bet Slip, Esports and Menu stays fixed while you scroll, and an icon row at the top jumps straight to search, live events or a single sport. The Bet Slip button sits in the middle of the bar, so you can collect selections from several matches and open the slip only when you are ready to confirm.

The phone is the most convenient way to follow live action: the In-Play tab lists everything that is running now, events with video can be streamed where available, and the live tracker shows the state of play when there is no stream. Odds updates and padlocks for suspended markets work exactly as on desktop.

• Use Wi-Fi for streams — video uses far more data than odds updates.
• Lock the screen orientation in portrait so the bet slip does not jump while you tap.
• Use Share bet to send a slip to a friend instead of retyping selections.

How to put Smash on your home screen in 30 seconds is shown in our Smash Casino app guide.

Sports bonuses

The sports package is spread over three deposits and carries one of the lowest wagering requirements on the site — 5× for the welcome stages and 7× for weekly reloads. Before you opt in, it helps to understand how the requirement is met in practice:

• Only single bets at decimal odds of 1.80 or higher count towards the sports bonus.
• Winnings from a sports bonus are capped at 10× the bonus amount.
• Sports bets do not count towards the slots welcome bonus.
• Only one bonus can be active at a time, so finish or cancel a casino bonus before you claim a sports one.

Example: with a 5× requirement on a €100 bonus, you need €500 in qualifying single bets at odds of 1.80 or more. A €20 single at 1.65 does not count at all, while the same stake at 1.85 counts in full — so check the odds in the slip before you confirm.

Sports rules

The full sportsbook rules are published as an English PDF linked under Sports in the site footer. They cover how each market is settled, so it is worth reading the sections for the sports you bet on most. In disputes about real-world events Smash relies on official sources only, and the Results section in the sportsbook menu lets you check final scores and settled events yourself.

If a bet looks wrongly settled, contact live chat first and include the bet details from My Bets. The Dispute Resolution policy asks players to raise issues that are not about game outcomes — such as payouts or bonus calculations — within one calendar month, and unresolved complaints can then be sent by e-mail to the complaints mailbox listed on the Contact page.
