Sportsbook.com is licensed in the United Kingdom. Its parent company, Sportingbet plc is publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange. With over 2.7 million customers in dozens of markets and numerous languages, Sportingbet plc. is one of the largest gambling organisations in the world with annual sales of over $2.6 billion. More than half of Sportingbet’s sales are made to North American customers, despite online gambling's illegal status in the US. With a licence to operate in the UK which has some of the most stringent criteria for issuing a gaming licence, Sportsbook.com gets the highest integrity rating and top marks for its excellent customer service (one of the best online if not THE best!). Not only are the toll free telephone customer support numbers answered almost immediately, the same applies to their Live Chat facility. That is what customer care is all about and most issues/disputes are resolved promptly by their excellent customer support team.

One account number with Sportsbook.com allows customers to access the call center, their "click & bet" offshore sportsbook, virtual casino, poker room and online horse wagering. Its poker room, Paradise Poker, was one of the first online poker rooms and is one of our top rated poker rooms (only reason for Paradise Poker being out of the top 10 list is due to its above average competition as many seasoned poker pros play there).

Top scores when it comes to both deposits and withdrawals. There are essentially no charges on any of the deposit methods accepted (see below) and nor on any of the withdrawal methods either - which is almost unheard of online amongst sportsbooks. Sportsbook.com offer a FREE 10% BONUS CASH to your initial deposit with no maximum bonus! And if you like Thursdays, you will like it even more now as there is a 5% Re-Deposit Bonus EVERY Thursday when depositing via Neteller, Firepay or ACH. (Note: 5% re-deposit bonus is valid from 12:01am to 11:59pm EST on Thursdays.)

Their terms and conditions state that all bonuses and corresponding deposits must be wagered 2 times before the bonus can be withdrawn. For example, if one deposits $500 and gets a $50 bonus, you must simply make wagers totalling $1100 before you can withdraw the $50 bonus. Once you have wagered the required minimum, the bonus amount will then be available for withdrawal.

Sportsbook.com has probably the best coverage of North American sports of any online sportsbook. Extensive betting facilities on all aspects of US sports. The sportsbook is, therefore, primarily geared towards those who wish to bet on sports that are played in the US. There is international coverage, for example, on Golf and Tennis but there is far more variety on the US-based sporting events.

You can always try your hand at one of the exotic bets such as Grammy Awards, Reality TV and US Politics. Other exotic bets are available (see their website for full list). You can always take early bird prices on next year's winners (futures or as it is called in the UK, ante-post prices).
