About Betflag
BetFlag is an Italian online gaming platform that has been active since around 2012. This platform is licensed by Agenzia Delle Dogane e Dei Monopoli (ADM) under license number 15007. It serves Italian users with sports betting, casino, poker, horse racing (ippica), lotteries, bingo, and even financial betting markets. The platform can be accessed through dedicated Android and iOS applications as well as through a mobile website. Its high market penetration in Italy, continuous improvement, and full legal compliance make it a preferred option for players in Italy.
BetFlag has maintained a good reputation on app stores as well (4.8 stars with more than 128K reviews and over 3 million downloads). Users highlight effortlessly performing activities such as browsing through many available games, live-streaming-enabled betting, and fast cash withdrawal.
Features
Mobile Applications & User Experience
BetFlag provides multiple applications tailored specifically for each of their offerings: Sports, Casino, Virtual Games, Horse Racing, Exchange, Poker, Lotteries, Card Games, which includes “Sette e Mezzo”.
The apps are available for iOS and Android. For Android users, the app is accessible through APK downloads from BetFlag’s website since it’s unavailable on Google Play.
As reported by users, the interface is responsive and straightforward, allowing users to access games, streaming of live events, and register through QR-codes, SPID, or SMS verification swiftly.
Sportsbook & Live Betting
BetFlag provides coverage for major sports such as football, basketball, tennis, and motorsports, along with niche ones like darts, snooker, floorball, and e-sports. Both pre-match and in-play betting are offered, and early quote release is provided (up to 48 hours in advance).
Many events also have live streaming, and single, multiple, and system bets are taken by the platform.
Casino & Live Casino
In the BetFlag Casino section, there are over 500 games, including slots (many featuring progressive jackpots), table games (roulette, blackjack, baccarat, and poker), and Game Shows. Live dealer tables are provided by renowned studios such as Evolution, Microgaming, Playtech, NetEnt, Play’n GO, Habanero, among others.
Users have the option to play either in demo mode or with real currency, although game previews may be unavailable – this lack of convenience is a drawback for some users.
Horse Racing, Lotteries & Virtual Games
The ippica section includes both fixed-odds and tote wagering on harness and thoroughbred races, popular among Italian racing bettors.
These include lotteries, scratch cards, bingo, and virtual games, satisfying all forms of gambling.
Exchange & Financial Betting
Italian platforms rarely offer a betting exchange, but BetFlag does, allowing users to lay and back moderation: essentially peer-to-peer betting where they act as the bookmakers, popular with professionals as well as matched-betting users.
Players can bet on stock indices, forex, or financial markets movements in the financial betting section – these exert a niche but expanding interest.
Promotions & Account Features
Within verticals like sports, casino, slots, horse racing, poker, or bingo, welcome bonuses are issued between €30 to €100. Deposit matches up to €1,000 are issued per vertical with a potential total value exceeding 1,000€.
Loyalty rewards for free spins and cashback perks enhance user activity. Some Redditors point out that lower fees are available through a point-based VIP exchange market system.
Security Features
Licensing & Regulation
BetFlag is fully operational with the Italian ADM license n° 15007, which serves as proof of compliance with the required legal framework, undergoing audits, and safeguarding the players under the shielding governed by the law.
User information and data are secured through 128-bit SSL encryption certificates from Let’s Encrypt via tunneling protocols.
Responsible Gambling
On their platform, BetFlag enforces self-exclusion, deposit limits (daily/weekly), and cool-off periods. In addition, they offer self-assessment quizzes based on the SOGS model and links to support organizations such as the Global Gambling Guidance Group (G4) and the “Gioco Responsabile” initiatives.
Account suspension or closure is voluntary, and restrictive age and legal disclaimers are prominently displayed.
Verification & Fraud Prevention
To comply with the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and fraud regulations, BetFlag enforces ID verification prior to granting withdrawal access. While the account is active and playable, funds remain in a frozen state until identity validation is completed.
While not all external solutions are openly available, meeting regulatory requirements and attaining ISO/G4 compliance indicates the presence of some risk assessment and tracking systems based on user device and IP addresses.
Payment Safety
BetFlag accepts a wide range of Visa/Mastercard, PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, Postepay, Paysafecard, OnShop coupon, and bank transfer (standard and instant) for both deposit and withdrawal transactions.
“Instant withdrawal” options are available for cards and e-wallets (PayPal, Skrill, Neteller) up to a known threshold after verification of identity is done.
Customer Support & Transparency
Customer support is accessible via telephone (800 900 333 toll-free or 02‑91645111) as well as email and web form. The support is available every day from 09:00–21:00 CET. Importantly, live chat is missing from many reviews.
An extensive FAQ section addresses responsible gaming, bonuses, including terms and limits, accounts and registration, and many more.
Users have split opinions: low average scores in Trustpilot (some reports at 1.4–2 stars) are countered by numerous complaints about complicated bonus redemption, lengthy identity verification checks, and withdrawal delays. Some users also mention fast payout through e-wallets.
Conclusion

- Certain mobile apps are criticised for poor navigation and cluttered design. Various elements that do not have preview capabilities and UI elements that feel cramped.
