BetUS Sports book Review

Overview

BetUS lays claim to the title of oldest sportsbook operating on the Internet, which may well be accurate. The company was launched in 1994, when most of us were still just beginning to talk about this whole World Wide Web thing that we’d heard about.

As a sportsbook it’s incredibly diverse, allowing wagering on just about every sport under the sun. However, while it’s primary operations place it in the sportsbook category, it also has a fully featured poker room, as well as a complete casino, making it something of an all round gaming portal – everything under one digital roof.

Games and Software

While some online gaming sites require you to download and install software on your computer before you can begin placing bets, BetUS prefers to let you just get on with it. Therefore, everything you want to do, you can do right there in the website.

Whether it’s placing a sporting wager, spinning a few reels at the casino or playing a couple of hands of poker, it all happens inside your web browser. This means it doesn’t matter what computer you have; the Mac or PC debate is meaningless here.

The sportsbook side of BetUS will let you place wagers on just about anything. Football, basketball, baseball, ice hockey, soccer, tennis, golf, boxing, MMA, NASCAR, cricket, darts, horses, handball, all forms of motor sports, olypics, rugby, volleyball … it goes on and on and on.

The full list contains over 50 different sports. If it can be wagered on, it’ll be here, including things like politics and entertainment. It’s one of the most complete betting sites ever. The minumum bet is $5, and the maximum is $100,000 – for the brave only.

The casino side of things has a platform powered by Rival Gaming, and features great video slots and classic table games like Blackjack, Craps and Roulette. In the poker room, various different kinds of games see play, but the dominant forms are Texas Hold’em and Omaha. You’ll also find regular tournament action here, so it’s a good place to check out if you want to test your skills against real players instead of a house dealer.

Bonuses and Loyalty Programs

There isn’t a VIP program associated with BetUS, but instead there’s a slew of ongoing promotions that run pretty much all week round. Sometimes is some crazy odds on sporting events, sometimes it’s cash back deals on your losses. It’s worth snooping the Promotions page of the site regularly to keep yourself aware of what they’re doing now.

Payment Methods

BetUS takes credit cards, and has an extremely high rate of success processing them even in the USA, so this is going to be your first choice of deposit options.

Moreover, it’s one you should think about because BetUS does not do e-wallets, at all. If you can’t use a credit card, the alternatives include a cashier’s cheque or a bank wire.

Safety and Customer Service

All connections to and from BetUS are heavily encrypted to protect you and your information. If you run into trouble you can email the support staff, or ring them at their 24 hour call centre.
