To say that it's a bit too high when you're not into sports betting is something I would not take seriously. I guess if we asked most sports bettors here, they'd say a $1 minimum per bet is very affordable. In fact, I've been gambling at our local bookie too, and the minimum there is about $1.50, so I find Betpanda's minimum on sports betting quite competitive.
But if we are being serious here. If you are a regular sports betting player or simply just a gambler a1$ bet is not that big deal since minimum deposit of a casino is already ranging above 10$ which means you still have 1/10th bet in case you bet 1$ which is still a good ratio of bet to bankroll size.
Those 1$ are just typically dust from bonuses while making it a big deal means you shouldn’t involved on gambling because your risk tolerance is not that high.
