3.7

Overview

Rivalo is a reliable bookmaker, licensed in Curaçao, and with a good reputation among bettors in Brazil, including the support of the legendary Cafu. Will the site score a great goal in Brazil with the support of the star player?

Its variety of payment methods, which include card, Pix, Boleto and even Bitcoin, is an attraction for us. But it’s a shame that we don’t have a welcome bonus to take advantage of right on your first deposit.

At the casino, Rivalo offers a wide selection, with +8,000 games. However, its sports betting options are limited, with only 14 sports available and little variety in the markets. Despite this, we found competitive odds and an efficient cash out system for the main events.

In summary:

3.7

Rivalo is a reliable bookmaker with a solid reputation among bettors in Brazil and around the world. In addition, the partnership with Cafu adds credibility to its brand. Will it score a great goal with this star player on the team?

The variety of payment options is a plus for many players. And the site’s casino is very complete, with thousands of virtual and live games. However, when considering sports betting, we feel a little limited by the limited range of options: there are only 14. See other details about the site’s performance:

Is Rivalo reliable?

+7 years of experience
Curacao License
Good reputation among bettors

Yes! Rivalo bettors can rest assured that the company has an excellent reputation in its 7 years in the market.

We investigated the origin of the site, its security and player opinions to determine whether the site is trustworthy or not, and we were pleased with what we found.

License and security

Rivalo is managed and operated by the company Matchserv Solutions NV A, registered and licensed in Curaçao , under number 8048/JAZ. This is the document that allows the company to operate in the betting market and, to maintain it, the company complies with international security and transparency requirements.

To ensure the privacy and security of its users, the site uses SSL technology to protect itself against intruders. This is a standard measure worldwide. And, although it is not infallible, it is quite reliable.

In addition to the Curaçao license, Rivalo is among the betting sites interested in becoming regulated in Brazil and obtaining the necessary documentation to continue operating in the country in the coming years.

What do bettors think?

We know that the quality and reliability of a bookmaker is not only measured “on paper”, with its documents and protocols, but also in practice, in the day-to-day life with bettors.

That’s why we investigated what users have to say about Rivalo on forums, social networks and review platforms in Brazil. Despite having over a thousand followers on Twitter and 8 thousand on Instagram, we didn’t find many comments on the company’s posts on its social networks .

On Reclame Aqui, one of the most famous review sites in the country, the brand has a “Good” reputation rating, with a score of 7.2 out of 10 over the last 6 months. This shows that the brand serves the platform’s users well, responding to and resolving complaints frequently.

Among the most common complaints, we find problems with withdrawals that, for the most part, seem to be related to the lack of account verification. Check out how to complete this step and guarantee your winnings in the text!

How does Rivalo work?

Quick registration
Organized and easy to use website

Rivalo is a complete online betting and casino with 7 years of experience. Here, you can bet on dozens of sports markets and more than 8,000 online games.

As we explored the platform, we noticed that it was a fast and well-organized site , and it was easy to register and place bets with the site.

How do I register?

Registering with Rivalo Brazil was a quick and easy process, and we followed simple steps. See:

  1. Visit the Rivalo website
  2. Click on “ Sign Up ” in the top right menu of the page
  3. Enter your email and create a password. Click ” Register ” to continue.
  4. On the new page, enter the requested personal data, such as telephone number, date of birth and CPF.
  5. Complete your registration!

The request for CPF and date of birth is common in all serious betting sites. It is with this data that the sites can guarantee the security of financial transactions and block the entry of underage bettors.

How to verify account?

Account verification is an important step to complete. This is because we can only bet and withdraw large amounts if our registration has been verified by the house.

To speed up this process, we need to send a copy of our ID or CHN, and proof of address to Rivalo.

This process is done on a specific form, which we access via the Website Home Page > Profile Icon > Account > Upload Documents. On this page, we can attach and upload our documents. Simple, right?

With our part completed, it is the house’s turn to validate the information sent. This verification can take 24 to 48 hours.

Website organization

On the computer, the Rivalo betting site is organized into three main menus:

Using the top menu , we can navigate through the main verticals of the house: Sports, Live, Casino, Live Casino, Virtual Sports, and also access the Promotions page. In this same bar, we access our balance, service and profile information.

On the left, we find the vertical menu where we can browse the most popular events and games, as well as find the sports modalities available at the house.

In the vertical bar on the right , we find our betting tickets, whether simple, combined, or system.

Overall, we found the site navigation to be very intuitive and organized. It was easy to find everything we were looking for and access our bets quickly.

Bonuses and promotions

Welcome bonus for Aposta Legal readers
Extra credits on second deposit

We have an exclusive partnership with Rivalo, which guarantees our readers a free betting registration bonus of up to R$50 .

To receive the free bets, we need to register with the site and make an initial deposit of R$50 . That’s it!

We then received the 100% bonus in the form of two free bets of R$25 each! They are valid for multiple bets of at least three selections with minimum odds of 1.80.

Here, we like to use this type of bonus to try out new markets without risking our own bankroll. What’s your strategy? It’s time to put it into practice!

Register with Rivalo and get 2 free bets!

  • Deposit R$270 or more → R$135 Bonus

The offer period is 14 days after the house notifies bettors on the website, and there is no rollover information in the house’s terms.

Sports Betting

checkGreenGradientThousands of events in football
There are bets on Formula 1
Competitive Odds
Has promotional odds
Only 14 modalities
Few markets available

When we explored the sports betting possibilities, we were disappointed to find only 14 sports available at Rivalo .

Especially since many of its competitors offer more than 20, or even more than 40 sports options for us to bet on.

In any case, we found the main sports for Brazilian bettors, such as football, basketball, and even Formula 1.

When betting on football , we find thousands of events available, national and international competitions. We find the main tournaments, such as the Brasileirão, state championships, Copa do Brasil, Libertadores, Premiere League, and Champions League . And there are also hundreds of games from lesser-known leagues, from Asian and African countries, for example.

In basketball, we also find events from all over the world, including, of course, the NBA and WNBA. However, we missed the Brazilian league, as we did not see any betting options on the NBB .

Something that caught our attention was the presence of Formula 1 among the categories. This motorsport is becoming increasingly popular in Brazil, and its presence on the website shows us that Rivalo is up to date with the trends in the country.

How to bet on Rivalo?

Placing our bets on Rivalo was very simple! We just need to select the modality we want to bet on from the vertical menu on the left, choose the event and the market we want to bet on.

Once you have made your selection, determine the amount you wish to invest and click on “ Place Bet ” on the orange button on the betting slip. That’s it, your bet is placed!

Betting Markets

We admit that the number of markets was a disappointing factor at Rivalo, especially when we went to bet on the Brasileirão.

To show why, let’s compare the number of markets offered by the house with some of its main competitors in Brazil: Betano and Estrelabet :

Event / Number of markets Rival Betano Starbet
Sao Paulo vs Palmeiras 84 315 203
Fluminense x Atlético MG 66 131 151
Corinthians x Fortaleza 65 130 120

As we can see in the table above, among the platforms analyzed, Rivalo is the one with the fewest markets , practically half that of its competitors.

And exploring the available options, we missed Asian Handicaps , and we also found few options for cards and corners submarkets.

Still, the main markets are available, such as draw void bet, double chance and 1×2.

In other sports, such as tennis and basketball, we saw that the scenario is similar, with fewer options than its competitors, but with the main markets available to bettors.

Odds

Another comparison we make during our evaluations is that of odds, to find out which bookmakers have the best odds.

In the case of Rivalo, we compared its odds in the 1×2 market for Copa do Brasil matches with those of two major sites: Bet365 and Bet7k. The best odds are in bold.

Event / Odds Rival Bet365 Bet7k
Bahia x Criciuma 1.72 – 3.50 – 4.80 1.72 – 3.50 – 4.75 1.67 – – 3.60 – 5.00
Workers vs. Guild 3.70 – 3.20 – 2.00 3.60 – 3.20 – 2.10 3.80 – 3.30 – 1.99
Atlético MG x Sport Recife 1.33 – 5.00 – 8.70 1.33 – 4.50 – 9.50 1.30 – 5.20 – 9.20

We noticed that Rivalo’s odds are competitive, and have some highlights, being ahead of Bet7k in some selections, especially in bets on home teams.

Still, it doesn’t outperform its competitors for draw selections or visiting teams.

During our tests, we saw that the house offers promotional odds, called ” Premium Bets “, with increased odds. Overall, we noticed that the advantage is not that great.

In many cases, especially in the predictions for the underdog teams, the house’s superodd did not surpass the competing odds.

Betting Tools

There is cash out
No live streaming

Evaluating betting tools is essential to determine whether a betting site is worth it or not.

In the case of Rivalo, we find partial cash out and a complete statistics tool , but the house does not offer live broadcasts.

Partial cash out

When betting on Rivalo, we have the opportunity to close our bet early , thus reducing the chances of loss.

All thanks to the cash out tool , or “early withdrawal”, which allows us to finish a bet before the end of the event.

This way, if luck is not on our side, we can stop the bet and avoid a complete loss.

In the case of Rivalo, the option is partial cash out. In other words, we can withdraw part of the amount invested.

To do this, we need to access the bet slip and select the withdrawal option. It is not available for all events, but it is available in the main modalities and markets.

Statistics

We did not identify live streaming of matches on Rivalo, but the company has a robust statistics tool , which even includes play-by-play monitoring of live games.

In addition, we can see the history of teams and athletes, their positions in tournaments, among other information.

In our tests, the tool was updated in real time, and we followed all the live matches, including those in very dynamic sports, such as tennis.

Rivalo Casino

+8,000 games
14 live tables in Portuguese
No demo versions

Rivalo is a website with a robust sports betting vertical, but it doesn’t stop there! Its online casino is very complete, with more than 8,000 games available, from different categories, such as:

  • Online Slots
  • Roulettes
  • Crash games
  • Cards, such as poker and baccarat

In addition, we found an excellent live casino , with hundreds of games, including 14 tables in Portuguese, exclusively for Brazilians and other speakers of the language.

During our tests, the live games loaded quickly. There were no hiccups in the stream and all dealers communicated clearly.

Online Slots

We have found over 7,000 online slots to play.

We tried some famous names like Fortune Tiger and Golden Wheels . Our experience was very positive, with fast loading and no crashes.

However, we noticed that it is better to play the tiger game on mobile, as is often the case on other sites.

This is because the game’s original design is already based on a vertical screen, and although the image becomes larger when playing on a computer, it remains in this orientation.

Does Rivalo have Aviator?

Yes! We found Aviator among the highlights at Rivalo’s casino. And it’s no wonder, the airplane game is all the rage in Brazil, being one of the most sought after by gamblers.

We tested the game and it behaved as expected, with speed between rounds and no crashes.

Players speculate that Aviator multipliers are higher in the morning. We found good numbers playing early in the morning.

However, we miss the trial/demo version of the games , where we can try out the games without spending any of our bankroll. And this applies to Aviator and others, including slot machines.

Find +8,000 online casino games!

Does Rivalo have an app?

Full site on mobile
No Android or iOS app

Unfortunately, Rivalo does not yet have an official app in Brazil. However, we can access the company’s website directly from our mobile browser.

We tested it on both iPhone and Android devices and the result was the same: the site is complete , with all the features we see on the computer. We can bet on sports and the casino with peace of mind.

When betting on a cell phone, we prefer to connect via WIFI, as it is usually more stable than a 4G connection.

Payment options

Accepts PIX and boleto
Do you accept credit card
Minimum deposit of R$25

The variety of payment methods is undeniable, something we welcome! Rivalo is also among the bookmakers that accept credit cards , in addition to PIX and bank slips.

We can also carry out transactions via digital wallets and bank transfers.

Payments accepted in Brazil

Soon, it will no longer be possible to bet with a credit card in Brazil. This is because betting regulations in the country only allow them to use certain payment methods , such as PIX, TED and debit card.

How to deposit?

The deposit process at Rivalo is very simple and quick. Here’s how we did it:

  1. Access and log in to the Rivalo website
  2. Click on the orange ” Deposit ” button in the top right corner of the page
  3. Select the desired payment method
  4. Enter the amount you wish to invest and click ” Deposit “
  5. Follow the platform instructions to make the payment using the desired method.

“ I made my deposit via Pix and the money arrived in a few minutes. It was very quick and simple. ”

The minimum deposit amount is R$25 and the payment processing time can be up to 2 business days, depending on the method used.

How to make a withdrawal?

Withdrawing from Rivalo is also a quick and easy process. To complete it, we must log in to the betting site, click on the profile icon and choose the ” Withdraw ” option.

So, let’s select the payment method, and fill in the amount and personal information to make the withdrawal.

Processing time is up to 2 days, depending on the method chosen. And the minimum amount to withdraw is R$50.

Customer service

Has live chat
Complete Help Center

Our experience with Rivalo Brasil’s customer service was positive. The website has a complete customer service center, with an excellent FAQ page . And for more specific questions, we have a 24-hour chat option .

We access the Help Center through the vertical menu on the left of the website, by clicking on ” Contact us “. In this center, we access the answers to the most common questions.

On the same page, we can access the company’s chat. We really like the service that, right at the beginning of the conversation, gives us the option of speaking to the chatbot with artificial intelligence or to a human attendant , in our language.

This made it much easier for us to contact the brand, directing us to the desired sector.

In general, the responses were quick and in just a few minutes we had our questions answered.

Another way to access the chat at any time is through the ” Contact Us ” button located in the footer of the website. It opens the live chat directly.

Our verdict

Payment variety
Has partial cash out
Curacao License
Good odds
+8,000 casino games
14 live tables in Portuguese
Quick and easy registration
Have Aviator
There is no registration bonus
Only 14 sports modalities
Few markets available
No app
There is no live streaming

We consider Rivalo to be a great, reliable betting house, registered in Curaçao, and with a good reputation among bettors in Brazil and around the world.

Here, she has the support of Cafu , one of the main players in the history of the Brazilian football team.

It also gains points by offering diverse payment options , such as card, PIX, boleto, transfer, virtual wallets and even Bitcoin.

When playing at the casino, we find thousands of game options, including the popular Aviator, tiger game, and even 14 live tables in Portuguese.

When it comes to betting on sports, however, we are disappointed with the few options of modalities : only 14. And when it comes to markets, there is also little variety, reaching half of what is offered by competitors.

The house makes up for it with competitive odds , and the offer of an efficient cash out for the main events and markets.

However, if the variety of markets and modalities is essential for you, it may be interesting to consider houses such as Betano or Bet365 , which are more comprehensive in this sense, and considered by our experts as excellent options.
