Why I like Betcris

Bettors will get a lot of long-term value out of the reduced juice offered through the BetCris sportsbook loyalty program — especially for players who level up and maximize those improved lines over time. It’s also worth noting that BetCris is currently licensed and operating in Arizona, in addition to serving bettors across Canada and multiple countries throughout Latin America, where its loyalty rewards remain a major draw.

Account creation

Speed And Simplicity

The sign-up process at the Betcris sportsbook is fast and simple — the way it should always be. Start by hitting the yellow “sign up” button in the top menu. Enter a few basic details about yourself such as name, email, password, address and you’ll move onto the next step.

In the following screen, Betcris will give you an account number that you’ll use to sign in from there out. That’s it! Like we said, quick and simple! 

Customer Service

Quick Response Times

The go-to method for reaching customer service on Betcris is the live chat feature. It can be easily pulled up by tapping the light blue chat icon in the bottom-right hand of the screen. In seconds, you’ll connect to an agent that can answer your questions.

Just be sure to have your six-digit PIN number handy because they’ll ask for it before assisting you. In our experience, agents replied to our questions within minutes. This was during business hours, though, and we imagine wait times are longer during non-essential hours.

Deposits

Limited options

The BetCris sportsbook offers a solid range of deposit methods, though the options depend on where you’re playing. For bettors in Arizona, BetCris — through its partner Plannatech — supports widely used and regulated payment methods such as:

• Credit and debit cards
• ACH transfers
• Wire transfers
• Online money transfer services
• Promotional credits
• Winnings generated during gameplay
• A registered Plannatech prepaid card

Internationally, BetCris also accepts a variety of digital and alternative payment methods tailored to the Canadian and Latin American markets. No matter the region, deposits are designed to be fast, secure, and straightforward for players.

 

 Not crypto-friendly in Arizona

While BetCris has historically supported cryptocurrency payments in some of its international markets, the Arizona version of BetCris does not currently list crypto as an approved payment option. Instead, Arizona bettors are limited to traditional and regulated methods such as credit/debit cards, ACH transfers, wire transfers, and online money transfer services through its partner Plannatech.

However, cryptocurrency may still be supported in certain foreign jurisdictions where BetCris operates outside the United States. Availability varies by region and local regulations, so players should always check the banking options listed within their specific country before depositing.

Welcome Bonuses

Risk-Free Bet

BetCris Arizona currently provides two simple and player-friendly bonus opportunities:

• Initial Deposit Bonus: 100% match up to $250
• Reload Bonus: 100% match up to $250

Both offers come with a low 2x rollover on the deposit amount, making them easy to clear compared to typical sportsbook requirements. Each bonus can be claimed once per eligible customer, is restricted to bettors 21+ in approved Arizona jurisdictions, and requires full rollover completion before any bonus-related withdrawals.

Bonuses

Placing a Bet

Hassle-Free Wagering

The betting selection on Betcris is long. Really long, matter of fact. Yet, it’s not difficult to find the exact wager you’re looking for. That’s because the Betcris sidebar menu is intuitive and sortable by sport and leagues. Follow this journey to narrow down your bet.

Once you have it, click the odds you want to take. That’ll add it to your betting slip, which can be accessed by hitting the green “your picks” button. Finally, add the amount you want to risk and hit “place bet” to finalize it. 

Of course, betting lines ebb and flow — even after you’ve placed a bet. Betcris gives bettors the opportunity to accept changes, either all of them or only ones in their favor, or lock in your odds when you place them. All three options are available while inside the bet slip.

Politics Betting

Heats Up Near Elections

While BetCris is known to offer occasional non-sports markets — such as politics, financial outcomes, and award shows — these wagering options are not available in Arizona due to state regulatory restrictions. Arizona bettors will instead find a traditional sports-focused experience, while some of these novelty markets may still appear only in eligible international jurisdictions where BetCris operates.

eSports

Good, Not Great

BetCris does offer eSports markets in certain international jurisdictions, including popular titles like League of Legends, NBA 2K, and StarCraft. However, eSports betting is not available on the Arizona version of BetCris, in alignment with state regulations. Arizona players will instead find a sportsbook focused strictly on approved traditional sports.

Virtual Sports Betting

Available at the Betcris Sportsbook

Virtual sports — computer-simulated games such as Madden, NBA 2K, or FIFA — are available in some international BetCris markets. However, these simulated wagering options are not offered on the Arizona version of BetCris, as they are not permitted under current state regulations. Arizona bettors will instead find only state-approved sports betting options on the platform.

NBA

Called Game

Basketball — and the NBA in particular — continues to surge in global popularity, and BetCris makes sure Arizona bettors can get in on the action. The sportsbook offers a wide range of NBA wagering options, including pre-game spreads, totals, and props on today’s biggest stars like Luka Dončić, Nikola Jokić, Jayson Tatum, and Stephen Curry.

Whether you’re betting a player performance market, a marquee matchup, or a futures play on the next championship contender, BetCris Arizona provides a deep NBA lineup that caters to both casual and devoted hoops fans.

US Open

Year-Round Tennis Lines

Major tournaments like the US Open and the other Grand Slam events — the Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon — are all available for betting at BetCris. So are smaller ATP and WTA events throughout the year, including matchups featuring today’s biggest stars like Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. With year-round tennis markets covering both majors and tour-level stops, BetCris gives bettors a consistent and competitive place to wager on the sport.

NFL

Pigskin Rules

Whether you want to make weekly gameday picks or wager on the length of the national anthem at the Super Bowl, you’ll find the full gamut of NFL betting odds at Betcris. That includes pre-game spreads and point totals, in-play odds, props, futures, plus more. This isn’t just reserved for the NFL, either, college football receives similar treatment from Betcris.  

MLB

Going Yard

It’s not easy to keep up with MLB’s grueling 162-game schedule. However, it’s no issue for Betcris which carries lines for the league seemingly every day during the season. This creates huge betting opportunities for bettors when it comes to run lines, run totals, or props, all of which you’ll easily find at Betcris. 

More Betting Options

Offers more than a Sportsbook

BetCris does feature a standalone racebook in certain international markets, offering global horse-racing coverage from the American Triple Crown to major tracks in Australia, Canada, Japan, and more. However, the Arizona version of BetCris does not include a dedicated racebook, as horse racing wagering is not part of its state-approved betting product. Arizona users will instead find a sportsbook focused strictly on permitted sports markets. 

Casino

Two’s Company

BetCris does offer two casino portals in several of its international markets — one with classic table games like blackjack, roulette, and video poker, and another featuring modern slots with enhanced graphics. However, these casino gaming options are not available to players in Arizona, as online casino gambling is not permitted under current state regulations. Arizona users have access strictly to approved sports betting markets on BetCris.

Live Betting

New & Improved Experience

See that green or blue Wi-Fi icon next to sports and bets? That icon indicates live wagering is available for it. Green means games are already in-progress, while blue is reserved for events that haven’t started, but will have live odds. Let these icons guide you.

Betcris revamped its in-play system in early 2020. Part of the overhaul is a new feature that bettors will surely love — the ability to use in-play odds in a parlay. Players can either combine pre-game lines with live ones for the parlay or use strictly in-play wagers for the entire parlay. The choice is yours!

Parlay Betting

(Almost) Same Process As A Normal Bet

As the headline alludes to, creating a parlay is nearly identical to placing a single bet. You probably already guessed it, just add multiple bets to your ticket, which will automatically make it a multi-leg parlay. And like we just mentioned, in-play odds CAN be used in parlays at Betcris nowadays.

Withdraw Winnings

Bitcoin not available in Arizona

BetCris withdrawal methods can vary depending on where players are located, and the Arizona platform powered by Plannatech does not provide a fully transparent list of withdrawal options within its public terms and conditions. Additionally, cryptocurrency withdrawals are not available in Arizona, as crypto banking is not listed among the approved payment methods.

Additional Betting Help

Solid, but Tucked Away

There is a Betcris blog, but it’s tucked away and hard to find. In the footer, you’ll see it labeled as “articles.” It’s updated with content semi-regularly, but you’ll mostly see game previews with free picks on the blog. It’s a solid resource, but it shouldn’t be your ONLY source when researching bets. Always get a slew of wagering opinions before latching to the first one you see.    

Promotions

Loyalty Thrives

BetCris Arizona offers a BetPoints loyalty program where players earn points on settled, real-money sports wagers and can redeem them for Free Plays. Loyalty tiers are based on total points earned — Bronze, Silver, and Gold — with higher tiers unlocking better redemption values, ranging from $5 to $10.50 in Free Play credit per 1,000 BetPoints. Free Plays can be used on eligible straight bets and parlays, with winnings (but not the stake) returned if successful. Points expire after 12 months and are not earned on Free Play wagers, cash-outs, or voided bets. The program is only available to recreational players aged 21+ located in Arizona with verified accounts in good standing.

Opt In Or Out

When signing up for a Betcris sportsbook account, you’re presented with the option to receive marketing information from Betcris or not. It’s your decision, but just know, if you skip out on it, you’ll be missing out on special promotions. And do you really want to pass up on player-exclusive deals?

Conclusion

Play The Long Game With BetCris

Getting true value out of BetCris means you’ll need to level up through the loyalty program and earn those reduced juice lines. If you do that, you’ll fall back on other great features like:
