Dafabet review: a long-running cricket book paid by card or e-wallet
Dafabet has operated since 2004 under a licence from the Cagayan Economic Zone Authority (CEZA) in the Philippines. Cricket is a focus, beside football, basketball, tennis, kabaddi and futsal, with live options.
Cards, Skrill, Neteller and bank transfer are listed for deposits. Our data lists no bKash, Nagad or Rocket.
Our verdict: a long track record for cricket bettors who pay by card or e-wallet. In our example match the margin is 5.9%, against 5.6% across the books we compare.
