J9 Sportsbook Review

Westward Way Tech N.V., a company from Curacao boasting an Asian management, runs J9. The people behind this brand also operate K8.io, founded in 2019, two years before establishing J9. Former Argentinian football superstar Gabriel Omar Batistuta is an ambassador for J9, a gambling site catering primarily to Asian gamblers and an official FIBA wagering partner.

It advertises itself as the number one live game casino on the Web. The interface here is viewable in Chinese and English, and all payment processing is handled by Apollo MKT Limited at J9. That is a Cyprus-based Westward Way subsidiary, which is more-or-less how everyone does business in online gambling these days. You can use eight popular digital coins here. And you can take advantage of this hub’s own token, which you can stake to earn dividend rewards.

With all that out of the way, let us explore if J9 brings the goods.

GOSUBETTING ALERT: We have terminated J9 due to unprofessional behavior and we strongly advise our readers to look for a better crypto betting site. Links are being redirected to other reputable sites.

J9 Bonus Offers

There are no distinct sports betting bonuses on this gambling website. That does not mean you cannot get some free-gambling fun on this hub. It supplies some general bonuses, which we get into in this section of our J9 sportsbook review.

J9 Welcome Bonus

The J9 sportsbook has a welcome offer it calls Newbie Privileges Week. It consists of three bonuses. The first is a 30% match up to 999 USDT, available if you deposit at least 20 USDT within seven days of registration. The offer comes with an x10 rollover. Then you have what this site calls its repeat deposit bonus, which is on hand for users who have claimed the initial sign-up deal and are still in their first week as new users here. That makes them eligible to snag a 20% match up to 1,999 USDT, a promo boasting the identical x10 wagering requirement as the original one. Lastly, you have a promotion that looks to help you turn your losses into profits. It does this by giving all users who lose 20 USDT within their first week an up to 399 USDT bonus. Note that this bonus can get wagered as a valid bet after a turnover requirement of Reward * 5x.

A few other things you should know about these promos available in your initial week after registration at J9.com are that they are valid per one IP address, email, and through a single payment method. Moreover, like with most online casino/sportsbook offers, J9 reserves the right to amend, cancel, or interpret the promotion. So, by the time this J9 review finds you, these may not be the valid terms.

J9 Free Bets

We saw no free bets listed for sports gamblers at J9.

J9 VIP/Loyalty Program

The J9 brand does loads to keep existing users happy, and we swiftly explain its two loyalty systems below.

The Basic Loyalty Program

At J9, you have a membership advancement system. We do not know why this site chose to call it that and not just name it a VIP program, but we assume the language barrier has something to do with it. Regardless of what it gets named, you start as an Lv0 member in this scheme and advance through levels by reaching the required bet amount for each. After moving up, you must maintain your level by completing another required milestone within ninety days. For example, to move from LV0 to LV1, you must bet $58,00, and to maintain in the last level of this system, LV87, you must wager $7,200,000 in the past three months. If you fail to do so, you will get downgraded.

The perks of this system are that you can claim a bonus every time you reach a new tier, and your bonus sum increases with each level up. These amounts get credited every Monday.

Please remember that sportsbook users cannot get the listed rebate promos on this site!

The VIP System

The site staff told us that when you reach LV04, the system may pick you to become a VIP user, starting at VIP 1. When you get to VIP4 by betting on this platform, by betting over a million dollars per week here, you will get privy to receiving birthday gifts, super-fast payment processing, a VIP manager, vacations, limited-time perks, and more.

Other J9 Bonuses

J9 features a Member’s Day promo, running every 9th, 19th, and 29th day of any given month, where up to nine draws get organized, potentially producing millions of dollars in prizes. The promotion offers two ways to earn draw entries. These are Deposit to Draw and Bet to Draw.

Deposit to Draw is for Members from Level 1 and above, who must accumulate 629U in deposit funds for a draw entry. For Bet to Draw, more entries are available based on achieved turnover according to players’ ranking. Specific wager sums are required for you to earn additional draw chances.

The J9 affiliate system takes a novel approach to referrals. You get commissions/bonuses here for referring site users, with your fees settled through this formula = referral income ratio * your referral’s valid bet amount. There are eight levels in this affiliate scheme. They are Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Garnet, Emerald, Ruby, and Diamond, with the ratios in these move from 0.03% to 0.07%. However, be aware that you can only claim your referral bonuses if your referrals bet over $3,000 in the past week.

The platform also has a jackpot baccarat promotion, and it offers staking. Regarding the latter, the site gives daily dividends that constitute 0.5% of the prize pool. They are determined by individual pledges. The hub’s in-house token bears the name J9BC, acquired via Game Mining or Community Airdrop. A portion of daily profits feed into the prize pool, with 1% utilized for dividend buyback, split evenly between dividends and buyback. Again, dividends are proportional to pledged J9BC, with users receiving a percentage of daily dividends credited to their USDT wallet. Manual claiming of daily dividends is required.

J9 Design & UX

We hate the UX design of the J9 sportsbook. It has an old-timey look and feel and is impractical. It does not follow the established online bookmaker layout rules. In the left-side menu, when you select a sport, you do not get a list of leagues, for example. Instead, you get offered the general sporting markets for these. Your bet panel also appears above these multiple sport/gambling selectors, and the right side of the sportsbook gets reserved for banners on desktop browsers. The eSports wagering section on the J9 is more modern, but the actual sports one looks super passe, and things can get a bit confusing amidst the range of options and unique organizational style.

J9 Sports

You can bet on Cricket, Soccer, Saba Soccer, Basketball, Saba Basketball, Tennis, Table Tennis, Less, E-Sports, Volleyball, Badminton, Baseball, Lotteries, Ice Hockey, Snooker/Pool, Boxing/MMA, Finance, Handball, Darts, Rugby, Motorsports, Beach Volleyball, Squash, Football, Golf, Muay Thai, Field Hockey, Netball, Olympics, Chess, Politics, and Water Polo at J9.

Virtual sports wagering is also on the table here. Plus, eSports betting. From the latter category, you can test your knowledge on LOL, Dota2, CS 2, KOG, Valorant, StarCraft 2, CrossFire, Call of Duty, Call of Duty: Mobile video game competitions.

J9 Betting Markets

Correct score, totals, half-time/period betting, first/last goal, team props, 1×2 markets, and so on are on the table here, the usual general options. Still, the number of betting choices here is not that vast. And for some, it is quite poor.

In-Play Betting & Live Betting

One hundred to two hundred events should get listed from live betting at J9 at any given time, with the cashout feature available for most. It gets paired with a real-time tracker feature, which is neat and deserving of a mention in our review.

J9 Odds

The odds formats here are Chinese, American, Indonesian, Malaysian, and decimal. Overall, we would rate them as average.

J9 Live Streaming

You can view many streams for various types of sporting events. At the time of our visit, we saw many basketball and football/soccer ones. Nonetheless, we doubt that events generating massive interest are available here for your viewing pleasure.

J9 Mobile App

A J9 mobile app for iOS and Android users is available, downloadable through https://j9.com/download. You can scan a QR code to put it on your phone. In all honesty, we did not test out this piece of dedicated mobile software. Instead, we used the J9 mobile version accessible via Chrome on our Samsung smartphone. What we saw there was about what we expected. It sports is usable, but far from terrific, and not very appealing for remote betting.

J9 Customer Service

We have to tell you that using the J9 live chat was a pain in the neck. The window greets you by asking what is your general field of inquiry, giving you four options before connecting you to a site representative. We quickly got connected to a J9 support agent, who was nice enough. Yet our issue with this help avenue was that this window would become unresponsive after a while. We would type a question, and it would not pop up. Though – a you got news – message would start flashing at the top. That is a sign that we have gotten a reply. Hence, to see what the agent has written back, you must X the window and open the live chat back up. Do not click the End button. Only exit the window and open it back up to see how the conversation has continued. You may have to do this multiple times when talking to a J9 live chat representative. Other than this problem, the assistance we got here was Okay. The same goes for the quality of aid we received through [email protected]. We sent a message to this address and got an acceptable response in two hours.

The site encourages you to seek assistance in the official Telegram group and the site’s Facebook and Twitter pages.

We found no J9 FAQ page.

How to Register at J9

To get a taste of J9 betting entertainment, click the orange Sign Up button on this site’s homepage, which will open a registration form where you must input your desired username and pick a password. You can also create an account using your Metamask or Google credentials, and you may opt to register utilizing an SMS option.

J9 Payment Methods

The accepted coins here are:

• Tether
• Ethereum
• USD Coin
• Binance Coin
• Bitcoin
• Ripple
• TRON
• Dogecoin

The minimum deposit limits here are 0.00032 BTC, 20 USDT, 0.0066 ETH, 0.0368 BNB, 40 XRP, 20 USDC, 135 DOGE, and 184 TRX. The withdrawal minimums are 0.001 BTC, 20 USDT, 0.01 ETH, 0.065 BNB, 40 XRP, 20 USDC, 255 DOGE, 168 TRX.

You face an x1 deposit general rollover here, and if you do not bet your deposit sum 100%, this platform may hit you with a withdrawal fee. If you try to take out more than $2,000 from your account, the J9 team will make you go through an additional verification process, and if you win over $2,000, the site will reserve the right to pay you out in installments, which we found weird for such a low amount.

The general terms make no mention of any withdrawal caps, and there is no way to buy digital coins through your cashier tab at J9.

Is J9 Safe?

The user reviews for J9 are mixed. So, we’ll call this brand’s reputation middle-of-the-road. It has a ZeroSSL server certificate, implementing RSA encryption. The site lets you set up 2FA, and it allows you to review your betting, bonus, and transaction history. Plus, you can also review your J9BC stats. It is worth noting that this platform essentially has no privacy policy. It only has two sentences on this topic in its T&C, the first stating that you acknowledge that the J9 team will collect and use your data.

J9 Gaming License

Gaming Curacao, the second most reputable Curacao master license holder, regulates this platform.

J9 Review Conclusion

We cannot look past the poor UX of this site. Speaking as regular gamblers, we hate the design and organizational structure of J9 and how it presents its betting options. It is not that it does things a tad differently, but that we found the platform a bit difficult to navigate at the start, and we did not like how it goes about things. There are also no distinct sports betting promos here, despite this brand working with FIBA and Batistuta. We found that strange.

We do not want to be overly negative concerning how we rate J9, as it has a few Okay features. Nevertheless, the general website also seems poorly designed, with low-res images embedded instead of text, making it look amateurish. Moreover, its short and generic T&C did not yield much confidence in the J9 team, and the same goes for the glitchy live chat. As mentioned, you get live streams, staking, and other cool features here, but these are not enough for us to consider calling this site home. Maybe you’ll feel differently, especially if you are from Asia.
