Gentleman Jim Review

Ultra-modern betting sites are great, but sometimes it’s nice to hark back to a more classical betting era. With that in mind, Gentleman Jim is a welcome addition to the online betting scene for nostalgic punters. From the Flat Cap logo to the classily artistic illustrations, Gentleman Jim brings a high-class gentleman’s club feel to your online betting experience. As appealing as the aesthetic is, we are happy to report that the features provide a 21st-century service. Here, we take a closer look at this retro site, including information on the sports and markets available, promotions, and more.

Welcome Bonus Information

At the time of review, Gentleman Jim did not offer a welcome bonus. However, this is a very new site, and that may change in time.

Our Experience of Gentleman Jim

The Gentleman Jim colour scheme has a definite horse-racing vibe. All autumn greens and shades of yellow, there’s no missing the influence of The Sport of Kings. The collection of art print-style sporting banners at the head of the screen – representing horse racing, greyhounds, football, and casino – further enhances the sophisticated feel.

Deposits and withdrawals are quick and easy, but be aware that, at the time of writing, the site only supports Visa, Visa Electron, Mastercard, and Maestro debit card transactions. That lack of e-wallet support is a little surprising as, in other ways, the site has its finger firmly on the modern pulse – boasting its own X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and Instagram page – all of which can be used to contact the customer service team should you experience any issues or have questions you would like answered.

Fully licensed and regulated by the Gambling Commission of Great Britain and signed up to IBAS, Gamcare and Gamstop, you need have no concerns regarding the legality or security of the site or the fact that Gentleman Jim has the best interest of players at heart.

Sports & Markets Available

A total of 24 sports and events is significantly less than many other new betting sites. However, that is very much by design. Gentleman Jim aims to provide a simple, old-fashioned betting experience – striving to provide solid value without overwhelming players. UK, Irish and International Horse Racing are all covered in depth, as are the top football leagues, major US sports, Cricket, Tennis, and more, including the more niche pursuits of Volleyball, Gaelic Hurling, and Political Betting.

Delving into the individual sports provides all the options you would expect of a new betting site. Taking a major international football match as an example, Gentleman Jim offered around 130 individual markets, including the traditional Match Result, Correct Score, and Goalscorer bets, and a wide range of Statistical wagers and Match Event-based punts. Have a particular bet in mind? Why not try the slick Bet Builder found at the top of all football market screens?

For those who like to bet as the action unfolds, the In-Play area is reached via a handy tab at the head of the screen and includes rapidly updating odds on Football, Tennis, Golf, Cricket, and Basketball.

If taking a profit suits your betting style, Cash Out is available on many markets, but the site does not offer a Partial Cash Out facility.

Gentleman Jim Mobile Betting

The site may be styled on the pre-mobile era, but modern betting fans are able to enjoy everything Gentleman Jim has to offer on their small-screen device. The site performs well in a mobile browser, but for the full experience, you should head to the Google Play or Apple Store and download the excellent app.

Summary

There’s definitely a place in the market for a site like Gentleman Jim, and we suspect many players will be attracted to the throwback charm of the presentation and simplified betting experience. Offering competitive odds and great customer service, the site has plenty in its favour. On the downside, the lack of a welcome bonus or regular promotions holds the site back a little, but it would be no surprise to see this area improve as Gentleman Jim finds its feet in the market.
