SportingBet Professional Review |
| By David Lee |
|
Sportsbook First Impression
SportingBet is right in stride with its sister site SportingBetUSA, but that's what you usually get when a sportsbook company is traded on one of the largest stock markets in the world. Registration was simple, as was making a deposit. The wagering interface made it extremely easy to find the type of wager and sport that I was looking to bet.
Wagering
SportingBet has betting options for all the major sports and then some. They take bets for Soccer, Horse Racing, US Football, US Basketball, baseball, NHL, cricket, golf, Euro Basketball, tennis, rugby, boxing and snooker. The betting interface is absolutely seamless. Finding your betting preference is very easy and simple. SportingBet has plenty to offer by way of sports choices and wager options.
Wagering options:
- Straight wagers
- Teasers
- Parlay
- Propositions
Online Sportbook Research
In my online sportbook research, I found only positive things said about SportingBet. SportingBet is a subsidiary of SportingBet Plc, a UK registered public company traded on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange. If any problems were to arise, you can bet that you would hear about it very quickly.
Financially, you are not likely to ever have any problems. As long as there are people, there will always be sports wagering and this worldwide sportsbook company is likely to be around that long.
Promotions
SportingBet does not have as many promotions as its US counterpart SportingBetUSA. The bonuses and referral programs also tend to suggest that most of the handicappers at SportingBet place smaller wagers and deposits.
Sportsbook Customer Service
As I have stated in previous reviews, the US sportsbooks should take a few customer service lessons from the UK-based sportsbooks. The customer service was excellent with live chat, phone access and email if you so choose. The same quality of service is at SportingBet.
Bottom Line
SportingBet is an outstanding sportbook that I would recommend to anyone looking for a sportsbook offering wagers on major US sports with an emphasis on Euro sports. The payouts at SportingBet are prompt and the deposit methods are plentiful and easy. The safety in your money being deposited in a legit worldwide online sportsbook makes up for the low reload bonus of 5% on Thursdays only.
