FULL REVIEW - Sportingbet (8.36)

Sportingbet was founded in 1998 by online gambling pioneer Mark Blandford and has steadily grown to become one of the most prominent names in the bookmaking industry. In 2001, the parent company Sportingbet PLC was listed on the London Stock Exchange Alternative Investment Market (AIM). Over the years, Sportingbet has grown by acquiring several smaller online gambling companies, most notably SportingOdds.com in 2002 and Paradise Poker in 2005.

Sportingbet does an excellent job covering an array of sporting events from all over the globe. Specifically, they offer extensive coverage of American sporting leagues. To compliment their vast selection, Sportingbet offers great prices in virtually every sport they cover. Whether it be the football match of the week or a random handball match, they compete with the best.

Sportingbet's website might not be the flashiest around, but after exploring and testing out some of the features, it is by far one of the most efficiently navigable sites around. From the homepage, any bet for a given match can be found and placed in as little as 5 clicks. By clicking on the odds for a given betting market, the bet is quickly added to the slip and allows you to keep shopping with no interruption. In short, the process is refreshingly simple.

Sportingbet also offers a quality In-play betting service. Bettors can choose between a Flash version, which is a bit more interactive and graphic oriented, or an HTML version which is better suited for users with slower connections.

As far as customer service, we recommend using their 24/7 phone support. Email response time can be slow, and the live chat support doesn't always work.

Overall, Sportingbet is very professional and their experience certainly shows through their site. Click the link below to register and place your bets!

Trying to worm out of a winning bet!!-

This is the first time I have used Sportingbet and it will be the last. I placed a number of bets with a number of betting sites in relation to players being named in the 23 man squad yesterday, all have paid out except Sportingbet, I have contacted them on a number of occassions and get the same answer, "it is the final squad on the 29/05/11 and bets will be paid then". The bet was England Team SpecialsTo Make the 23 Man England Euro 2012 SquadJohn Ruddy and all other bookies have honoured the bet and have already paid out. I think this is unacceptable - dont go near this site there are alot more bookies to choose from!!

Not Great-

Iv been using sportingbet for ages now (few thousand bets )and have been on a long winning streak. So I dont want to change. But I know its pretty rubbish to be honest - that is compared to other popular sites. Firstly the odds are always terrible. Secondly there really are not as many in markets as you would expect. Thirdly for sports such as tennis, they dont put up the market until minutes before the event starts (applies to non-big-name matches). Fourthly the live streaming never works. Fifth, customer service is pretty slow, but on the other had if you call them up they are very friendly and cheerful - which is a big plus in my book. And, then markets can be slow, mobile application is unreliable and slow and you have to pay a pound for every deposit. Hmmm maybe i should change now. Nah it will do :-)

One of the better-

As an old Sportingbet customer (since 2008) I must say I haven't got much to compalin about. They have a good loyalty program which makes it worth staying with them instead of going elsewhere for a quick welcome bonus. They're not the best, but no major faults.

Avoid-

Avoid these like the plague. The free bet offer is weak. They say the odds must be greater than 1.5 to qualify. But then say each leg of a multiple must be 1.5, no matter what the accumilative odds are.

Good in;play selection-

I don't agree with previous coments about this bookmaker. I've been a customer of theirs for over a year and never had any problems with their customer service team and they offer by far the best selection of in;play odds.
