Opinion about Quiver

Attention! This bookmaker it is no longer available . In our list of the best bookmakers you have many other alternatives to choose from.

Quiver is a bookmaker whose main particularity is the sports cross bets, in which the house acts as an intermediary between two users who want to bet against each other. In a traditional house you place your bets against the house, which is the manager and part of the betting, but in cross bets the situation balances out: one user throws a bet and if another accepts it the house is limited to closing the deal between both.

These types of bets usually have higher odds than the traditional ones against the house, and until now they had the problem of finding the means to be able to make it reliably and above all, of advertising themselves to find someone who would agree to go against the proposal. Quiver fulfills these functions for a commission, acting as a neutral manager between the two users: the one who launches the challenge and the one who decides to bet the opposite.

Our experience with the betting site

The betting exchange, which is how cross bets are called in English, was an unregulated practice in New Zealand until 2014, when a basic regulation for them was published. Quiver is the first New Zealand website to offer this service, which other online bookmakers have been using for more than a decade. You can check our list with the best bookmakers national and international companies currently operating online in New Zealand in our corresponding section.

Quiver is a new bookmaker, which has decided to cover this market share so far blank in our country. It is the trademark of the domain from which the Sociedad Anónima Plataforma de Apuestas Cruzadas operates, with all the necessary legal permissions granted by the Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego. We will tell you everything about their systems, security and promotions in the next sections.

Quiver: Scam or legit?

Plataforma de Apuestas Cruzadas SA is a New Zealand company with CIF number A66411323, and registered office at Avenida Diagonal, 177-183, Planta 12 in Barcelona. It is a registered operator with the DGOJ since June 2015, an institution that has granted it a general betting license (344/GA/1068) and a singular one for cross sports betting (357/ADX/1068). Its managed bet fee is 5%, which the house applies when you win, not when you lose. For this amount the guarantee that the users have a deposit with which to cover the bet: only funds available in the account of each user can be wagered, so you can be sure that in case of winning you will collect your prize.

Betting offer

The limitations of cross bets are that they do not support more than simple bets, and that in order to play it is necessary to find someone who agrees to go against the bet launched: that is why when bets are made internationally, it is more difficult to find someone who accepts them. But within these limits there are endless possibilities regarding odds and betting purchases. In Quiver you can find out about these and other aspects of cross betting in its examples, explanatory videos and tutorials. You will also see that live betting is available.

The sports disciplines in which to bet are football, basketball (NBA), tennis (tournament matches that are being held depending on the time of the season), ice hockey (NHL), rugby Union, rugby League, boxing, MMA (UFC) and handball (Asobal League). Boxing and football are two of the sports with the most competitions to bet on. In the first you will find fights of the Super Lightweight, Ligthweight, Heavyweight, Super Weltherweight, Welterweight, Super Featherweight and the Cruiserweight.

In football is where you will find the real sauce of the Quiver offer. By country you will always find bets for the main dollar leagues: LaLiga in New Zealand, in the United Kingdom the Championship and Premier League, the Couppe de France, the German Bundesliga, the Coppa Italia, Eredivisie of the Netherlands, the MLS of the United States and in Australia the A League. Bets on the matches of each of them are organized by days, and you can select the specific date of the match you want to bet on with the search engine on the page, with an average of about five days from the current one.

Quiver bonuses

Like all online sports betting operators, Quiver should offer its customers attractive promotions in order to improve their experience on the online platform, although in this case we have not been able to see bonuses , both for newly registered customers and for loyal players.

An important clarification that should be made here is that currently welcome bonuses no longer exist in their original form , that is, due to the new regulation, the operator can no longer offer bonuses for customers who have just registered on its portal.

As we have told you, for now the house has practically no bonuses, but you can always expect some available , according to sporting events and mainly with the course of the development of LaLiga, the main competition of its bets.

Payment methods

Once registered at Quiver, you need to make a cash deposit to start playing. To do this, you can choose between the following payment methods: credit or debit card, PayPal, PaySafeCard, Skrill or bank transfer. The conditions vary from one method to another in terms of the processing time (immediate in all and between one and two days in transfers) and the maximum amount available that you can deposit ($10,000 by card or transfer, $ 2,500 with Skrill or Paypal electronic wallet, and $1,000 with the PaySafeCard prepaid card).

Regardless of the method you use, the house will never charge you commissions for your transfers, and will require a minimum deposit amount of at least $20. There are no commissions for withdrawals either, and the minimum amount available is $ 10, but the methods are limited to three: by bank transfer, or with PayPal and Skrill online wallet. If you choose to withdraw to your bank account there is no maximum limit, but if you withdraw the money to your PayPal or Skrill account, the maximum you can withdraw each time will be $2,500.

Quiver processes withdrawal requests within 24 hours of receipt, and only on working days. In addition, the time it takes for the withdrawal money to become effective in your account can range from one to three working days for transfers, and about twenty-four hours for accounts to virtual wallets. The bookmaker does not provide a currency exchange service: your virtual account at the bookmaker can only be in NZD, so your payment provider will probably charge you a commission if you deposit or withdraw money in another currency.

In order to carry out any of these transactions, Quiver will carry out some verification measures of your account. In this process you have to confirm that you are the owner of the account to which you request the withdrawal with a photo or scanned image of your ID, proof of address, and depending on the method you choose, other documents. You will need to send them to the address [email protected] , or attach them to the contact form with the bookmaker available from its Help Center section.

Customer service

The Quiver Help Center, ayuda.carcaj.es , is a contact tool that the house offers to its users, so that they can consult their doubts, raise their problems and even their complaints about the page. It has a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section organized by popularity, and a search engine so you can streamline your query and go directly to what interests you.

In the Help Center there are instructions and tips for users who are not very experienced in cross bets, and want to learn everything possible to get the most out of them, and also a Contact section with the form that we told you a few paragraphs above. You can also write to the Quiver team using email ([email protected] .), or by ordinary mail by addressing your letter to Plataforma de Apuestas Cruzadas, Avenida Diagonal number 12 (08018), Barcelona.

The average response times in the Customer Service are 15 seconds for phone calls, four hours to respond to messages sent via email, and five hours to resolve withdrawal requests, if these are approved in the first instance.

Functionality of the website

The page may seem a little chaotic at first glance, especially if you are not familiar with cross bets, but as soon as you get online you will realize that you have everything at hand and what is more important, your betting coupon is always clearly visible.

The betting coupon allows you to view the unmatched bets, the matched ones, and the coupon with the effective bets at that moment. And you can always review before betting, that is, activate with a click the system option that allows you to review each of the bets before confirming them. Choose between the View-Easy to show only the bets of the markets that you are watching at a certain moment, or deselect it, to your preference.

Mobile app

Quiver is available in two applications for mobile devices with iOS or Android operating system, which you can download directly from its page. The Android app requires an Internet connection via WiFi, 3G or 4G. You have to install it by modifying the settings of your device to allow the download. Within the Settings-Security menu, select allow downloading from "Unknown Sources". When it has been downloaded, in the Downloads folder you will find the file (apk) to install it for you.

If your device works with iOS you can follow the instructions to install on iPhone or iPad in the “Information and Help" menu, and within it in the “Mobile Applications” section of Quiver. You can also download it from the App Store. Keep in mind that Quiver only operates with a gaming license from the Government of New Zealand, and therefore to download its application you must necessarily be within national territory. You will need to have the device's location services turned on when you want to use the application. You can activate them in Settings-location services-power on.

Finding

A different bookmaker, in which to bet against other users instead of against the house, which intervenes as a depositary and manager of the bet. The 5% commission to the winner is not much, if you take into account the service he offers. Although participating in cross bets may seem somewhat complicated, both the design of the page and its tutorials, examples and explanations will bring you up to date in a short time. It is a fun way to bet, with considerably higher odds than those you will find in traditional bets.
