Admiralbet is the new name of Starvegas in Philippines. This operator has changed its name, and its licenses have passed to AdmiralBet. The new company is part of BeatYa Online Entertainment PLC, a company based in Malta. In turn, this company is part of Greentube, a subsidiary of NOVOMATIC, one of the largest casino game providers in existence. You can play at Admiralbet with your Starvegas username.

In fact, the defunct Starvegas was still just another subsidiary of the same parent company. The AGCO granted the first licenses to this operator in 2015, and little by little it has been renewing or expanding them. Thus, it is authorized to offer sports betting, in addition to the slots, roulette wheels and blackjack that you will find in its casino section.
What does AdmiralBet offer us?
AdmiralBet is nothing more than a copy of Starvegas. If you were already a user of Starvegas or have visited it before, you will see the same website under a different name. Only the name and some small details have changed. If it's your first time accessing their website, you should know that you can expect a sports betting website with a simple and intuitive interface. You'll probably find the design to be familiar.
We access the betting section and quickly the most outstanding events and the main live events will appear. In addition, on the right-hand side of the screen, the most popular events, quick access to the major soccer leagues, the Champions League, tennis tournaments, or top basketball competitions, etc. will appear. This way, we quickly access the competition that interests us.
One of the things that interests Philippines the most when registering on a new betting site is the variety of options, and we can say that AdmiralBet more than fulfills in this aspect. We have a wide range of sports, events, and markets to bet on, both pre-match and live, although the statistical section is a bit lacking in this area. We can find Asian lines, bets on the next goal or point, statistical markets such as corners and cards, etc. The odds are on par with other top players in the industry.
We have available the most common payment methods in gaming operators, but there is also some aspect that, as we will see below, is a bit disappointing. The customer service is not the widest, and we have an app for slots and casino, but it does not allow for sports betting. Let's delve deeper into the intricacies of the AdmiralBet betting section.
Sports and markets
AdmiralBet offers more than 20 sports to bet on, although logically there are sports that appear and disappear from the offer, such as winter sports, which are obviously not available in summer. As expected, we find the most common sports (football, tennis, basketball, American football), as well as others that be less popular but that move money in betting such as bandy, darts, or Australian football. They also highlight cyclocross as a sport outside of cycling and the wide range of UFC/MMA and WWE/Pro Wrestling.
When it comes to sports betting markets, if we attend a football match of a relatively important competition, we can find over 200 markets. Among them, we can find Asian handicap lines, bets on cards or corner kicks, and the possibility of creating our own bet. In the most important basketball games, there are over 170 markets, and in tennis, there are 25... Additionally, we have interesting long-term markets not only for the winner, but also for the performance of a team in leagues such as MLB baseball, which are always interesting before the season starts.
Dues
AdmiralBet is not known for offering the highest odds among betting companies, but they are usually in line with the average. To get an idea, their odds are similar to those offered by other bookies such as 888Sport or Wanabet; and in some markets, especially the more specific ones, they can offer Philippines the most interesting odds. Another possibility to consider is improving the odds by adding another selection in the events where we have the option to create our own bet.
Live section (live betting)
It is noteworthy that AdmiralBet does not highlight the live betting section as other bookies do, although we can easily access it. We can filter by sports or mark our favorites to quickly find the events that interest us. You can bet live on sports such as football, tennis, basketball, ice hockey or volleyball, and we have a good range of markets, from the most usual (match winner, totals, etc.) to winner of the next set, game or point, minute bets, etc. However, statistical information can be somewhat poor in some events, making it difficult to follow their development.
Accepted payment methods
AdmiralBet offers its players the most common payment methods. We can make our deposits using Visa and MasterCard credit or debit cards, using PaySafeCard prepaid cards, or using digital payment methods such as PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, Sofort, Trustly, or ApplePay. The minimum deposit amount is $10, although it vary depending on the payment method; but with all of them, you will have the money available instantly in your user account to start playing at AdmiralBet.
When it comes to withdrawing money, we have practically the same methods available: Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, Trustly, or Apple Pay are all accepted. Bank transfers are also available as an option. Whenever possible, the withdrawal will be made using the same method that was used to deposit funds. However, potential delays occur due to verification processes or operational issues, such as with bank transfers. If AdmiralBet has verified your account and all of your information is correct, the payment will be processed within 24 hours of the request. The minimum amount to withdraw is 10$.
How to register and deposit at AdmiralBet?
Remember that if you were already registered on StarVegas, you can access AdmiralBet using your login credentials. If you want to register, on the AdmiralBet home page there is a yellow button "Register", so we just have to click on it to start the registration process with this operator. You will have to enter the chosen alias, your email address and a password, as well as your personal information, ID card and the security question and answer.
Once you have completed the registration form, simply accept the terms and conditions of AdmiralBet and their Privacy Policy, and click again on the "Register" button to submit the form. Then, you will be a player on AdmiralBet.
Logically, you will have to make your first deposit to start playing. To do this, simply log in and click on the "Deposits" button: A screen will appear with the different payment methods enabled, so you just have to choose one, enter the amount and you will be redirected to the corresponding page to complete the deposit with the chosen payment method.
Admiral Bet App
AdmiralBet has an application called AdmiralBet Casino Online slots available for iOS on the App Store and for Android by downloading the .apk file from AdmiralBet's website. As the name suggests, this app only allows Philippines to play slot machines and casino games, but not to place sports bets. Therefore, we will have to wait for a new version of the app to take advantage of its wide range of betting options. However, we can still place bets on AdmiralBet through the browser on our mobile phone or tablet.
Security
As we mentioned at the beginning, AdmiralBet has the corresponding licenses from the AGCO to operate in Philippines. Having the DGOJ license is essential to legally offer sports betting, and it is the first sign that we are dealing with a 100% safe and honest bookmaker. As expected, the +18, Play Well, Self-Exclusion, and Safe Gaming logos appear on AdmiralBet's website. It even has a Responsible Gaming phone number.
In addition, the betting house offers full guarantees to its users and has implemented security measures. For example, when making withdrawals, in addition to having a verified account, AdmiralBet request additional information to ensure that we are the account holders. These seem like bothersome questions when requesting a withdrawal, but they are for our own benefit.
Customer Support
If you experience any problems while playing at AdmiralBet, you can open the live chat. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, you will see the yellow button "contact Philippines via chat". Click it and a new window will open with the form to start the chat, available from Monday to Sunday from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm. Another option is to call 900 431 703 or their responsible gaming phone number 900 838 852 (from 10:30 am to 5:30 pm). You can also write to [email protected].
If you scroll down, in addition to the contact section, you will find the FAQs. They are organized by topics, from the change from StarVegas to AdmiralBet to My Account, Deposits and Withdrawals, Sports, Code of Conduct, and more. On social media, this betting house is present on Facebook (@AdmiralBetPhilippines) and Instagram (@admiralbetes), where you can contact the support team.
AdmiralBet: Opinions and conclusion
It's time to take stock of what AdmiralBet offers us, and both sides of the scale are balanced. It's clear that the first thing we'll look at is the range of bets and the odds it offers us, and we can only be satisfied, especially with the former. We have a multitude of sports, events, and markets to choose from, and it allows Philippines to create our own bet by combining events from the same game, which is becoming increasingly common in many sports betting houses.
On the other hand, we have a somewhat limited customer service schedule, although it has significantly improved with the domain change. It's worth noting that we can still play from our StarVegas account. Another aspect to improve would be the live betting section.
The app is exclusive to the casino, AdmiralBet's main business. This is also reflected in the promotions, which are mainly focused on the casino, although we can take advantage of some for sports betting. In summary, we are in an interesting house, although with several aspects to improve. If it does so, it can become a player to keep in mind in the medium and long term.
