Leon is widely known in the CIS countries, but she appeared not so long ago, as is commonly believed. It was only in 2007 that her website appeared, at which time her main competitors already had a wide customer base. For a long time, BC Leon was focused only on online players, the office did not have betting shops, but recently a network of betting shops of the company has appeared in Kazakhstan.
The bookmaker is registered in Belize and controlled by the independent company Kahnawake Gaming Commission. BK Leon became the first domestic office that tried to attract foreign clients. Although the company did not succeed, but the very desire to reach international level deserves praise.
Language support: Russian, German, Polish, English and Chinese.
Office website
The site of BC Leon initially differed from the typical resources of domestic bookmakers. It looked more like the resources of foreign offices. Not so long ago, the office decided to completely change the design. This was the right step of leadership, if earlier dark colors dominated the site of BC Leon, now they are in harmony with the white color.
You will see all the main sections of the resource in the top menu. In the left menu is the BC Leon line, and in the center of the main page you will see some matches from the Live section and scheduled meetings in this section.
Deposit and withdrawal of funds
- bank cards Visa, MasterCard, Maestro (only rubles and hryvnias, with a minimum withdrawal of 1000 rubles);
- payment systems Perfect Money, Neteller, W1, Moneta.ru, Skrill, Qiwi, ecoPayz, Yandex-Money and WebMoney (minimum withdrawal - 100 rubles)
Funding is also available in the following ways:
- Alfa-Click Internet Bank, Sberbank-Online and Promsvyazbank;
- mobile payments MTS, Tele2, UTEL, Beeline and Megafon;
- in Euroset stores;
- Paysafe Card prepaid cards;
- payment systems Liqpay and Comepay.
An account with BC Leon can be opened in ten different currencies, but for convenience it is better to open a ruble or dollar account. In extreme cases, the hryvnia or the euro will do, but not the Swedish krona and other options offered by the office.
Line and painting
The office is not rich in events in the line, this has always been its significant drawback. There are 16 sports in total in the line, but only football, hockey and rugby are saturated with tournaments. Only the football line can be called wide, here you can even find tournaments such as the championship of Azerbaijan, Jordan, India and Saudi Arabia. Also in the office you can make long-term bets on 30 different tournaments from the world of football, handball, volleyball, basketball, rugby and other types sports.
BC Leon has a weak list, which is unworthy of a bookmaker with such great ambitions. In fact, bets can only be placed on main and double outcomes, total and exact score. The office gives such a list only for large tournaments, and in such tournaments as the Bulgarian Football Championship, you can bet only on the main outcomes and totals.
Odds
The margin of the office varies from 5% to 10%, and in matches involving a clear favorite and an outsider, the margin is the smallest.
Live bets
There are very few events for bets in BC Leon, besides this, the section is not completely finalized, some functions are clearly missing for the convenience of customers. During the day, only 40-60 events are present in this section. The minimum bet is 5 rubles.
Virtual bets
BC Leon became one of the first domestic bookmakers to start accepting bets on virtual sports. Virtual football, basketball and tennis tournaments are held around the clock in the office. Painting in virtual matches is even better than in the main line.
Mobile betting
The office has apps for iPhone/iPad and Android devices. With the help of Opera Mini, the main resource of BC Leon automatically adapts to your phone.
Bonuses
BK Leon from the first years of existence gives a 100% bonus on the first deposit. You can get up to $100, which must be put down 25 times before being withdrawn from the office. If the first deposit is made using the Skrill system, then you will receive a 150% bonus (up to $150).
The office also provides valuable prizes to their regular customers. To do this, you need to make a lot of bets and earn bonus points, which can later be exchanged for prizes such as an iPhone or a laptop.
Support
In the right upper corner The website has a "Help" section. Clicking on it will take you to the FAQ page. There is also a form for feedback with representatives of BC Leon, and a little lower you will see the company's email. Office support around the clock.
Conclusion
BK Leon is a good office that has a good reputation among Russian players, but it has one significant drawback - these are low odds. Playing at such low odds is possible only if sports betting is entertainment, but if you want to win and make money on it, then you need to find another office with a lower margin for bets.
As a result of the reorganization of betting activities in Russia, international betting shops that abandoned the mandatory licensing rules established by the new legislation were banned. Among them was Leonbets, whose official website was blocked by Roskomnadzor in accordance with a court decision.
Consequences of blocking
It is pointless to resent and somehow oppose the blocking of Leonbets, the law is the law. Roskomnadzor pursues not only alternative addresses opened by the company, but also third-party resources that post links to them. Financial transactions with the offshore bookmaker Leonbets are a high-risk group. No one knows how much patience the supervisory service will have in the fight against mirrors. It is quite possible that soon we will face new legislative restrictions aimed at combating illegal bookmakers.
As an alternative to Leonbets, we recommend using it. This organization appeared on the market almost immediately after the blocking of the international company, but completely denies any connection with it. This is an ideal option for players who have been loyal customers of Leonbets, since Leonbets betting shop is no different from its predecessor in terms of visual design and settlement rules.
The main advantage of a legal bookmaker is the complete transparency of financial relationships with players who are under the control of the TsUPIS regulator. The regulator protects players from dishonest actions of the bookmaker. Leonbets clients are probably familiar with cases when the company refused to pay out without explanation. With a legal office, this is impossible. To help the doubters - a detailed review of the BC "Leon" with step by step description registration.

Maximum and minimum rates
The size minimum rate is 10 rubles. The maximum bet varies depending on the scale of the event.

To become a client of this interactive bookmaker, you need to go through full identification in the TsUPIS SRO "Association of bookmakers".
If the player has already been fully identified in the QIWI payment system, he does not need identification in the TsUPIS to play in Leon.

Website interface and design:
To date, the site of the bookmaker's office "LEON" supports the following languages: English, Russian, Polish, German and French.
At first glance, the Russian-language site of Leon makes universal melancholy: ascetic design, the complete absence of modern graphic “bells and whistles” (the absence of “flash”, to which everyone is already so accustomed), as well as the color scheme itself leaves much to be desired. But after a while you begin to realize that this is the most convenient user interface! Everything is generally clear and understandable, all menu items are in convenient and logical places.
And the absence of flash popping up everywhere, colorful graphics and other unnecessary clutter for players who do not have high-speed Internet or a dedicated line can be a huge plus in general!

The website of BC "LEON" presents all major sports events: football, tennis, basketball and hockey, and often with very favorable odds, as well as detailed lists of key matches. Even for the favorite bets of the players “on the favorite”, very impressive limits are provided here, which are far from the fact that you can find it at world-famous offices. And accordingly, the coefficients, in relation to other bookmakers, are very “sweet”!
At the same time, BC LEON offers the opportunity to bet up to $10,000, which already puts the office in the list of the world's leading bookmakers. Indeed, now many even well-known offices are in no hurry to provide such gifts, as they are still apprehensive about online business on the Internet and, in order to insure themselves, keep maxbets at a lower level.
The latter also provide an opportunity for even an unregistered user to openly see the betting limits, which makes it impossible for successful players to cut the limits.
As for the types of bets, here the bookmaker’s Leon office bets can compete with serious western bookmakers, as it has recently added previously absent such types of bets as “Double Out” and “Asian Handicap” in System and Express bets.
Another positive thing for the players and their predictions is the sports news feed, and the news update is quite lively as for a non-news resource.
