Online Research

V-Wager.com appears to be a reputable site. With many user reviews praising the ease of use, it has become a favorite of many online wagerers. The intra-game section sets V-Wager.com apart from others

First Impression

The website is quite user-friendly, with the exception of an extremely small font size, which makes it slightly difficult for clients to find important information among the various links. A Wagering FAQs column, however, explains all there is to know about online wagering. Questions addressed range from general questions such as the rules and regulations of online wagering, to specific sports wager questions, such as how lines and odds are created. Furthermore, the website clearly outlines the company's rules and regulations, as well as both online betting limits and phone betting limits for each sport offered.

Deposit/Withdrawal

Instead of having separate sections for deposit/withdrawal methods and promotions/bonuses, the company cleverly groups all these options under one clear tab: Accounting. In this way, all monetary concerns are addressed together. Furthermore, deposit and withdrawal methods are explained in great detail on the website and each method has its own explanatory section. The recommended deposit and withdrawal method is NETeller, as it facilitates same day payouts. Clients are also able to choose from a variety of traditional deposit methods such as credit cards, bank wires, electronic transfers and cash deposits. Although NETeller has a fee of approximately $2 dollars per transaction, V-Wager.com covers transaction fees for deposits exceeding $200. For withdrawals, however, the company only covers a single transaction fee per thirty days.

Sports Covered

The sports covered by V-Wager.com include US staples, such as basketball, football and hockey, as well as international favorites, including tennis and golf. Signing up and funding your account is easy enough, but for those needing further assistance, 24-hour customer support is available via phone or email. An online "Live-Help" feature was in the works, but not yet launched, at the time of this writing.

Bottom Line

All in all, V-Wager.com is a comprehensive, secure and reliable sportsbook. With a less-than-simple user interface, the site appears to target more experienced wagerers rather than customers who are trying online betting for the first time. Nevertheless, V-wager is a good choice for those seeking a secure, reliable and fast service, backed by thousands of users and a reputable name.
