Bookmaker Sports book Review

Bookmaker.com is so hardcore, it existed even before the Internet did. We jest, of course, but the company that runs it – the BetCRIS group – was founded in 1985. Bookmaker is now among the most well known of international sports betting operations, welcoming customers from around the world.

Like many sites in this category, Bookmaker exceeds its mandate as a sports book, and also offers a full poker room, a race book, and an online casino. It’s positioning itself as a one stop shop for online gaming, and doing a successful job.

The company is located in San Jose, Costa Rica, where it is licensed and regulated.

Games and Software

Bookmaker.com does not use a single provider, choosing instead to make use of different software developers for its different gaming areas. For example, it’s sports book and casino software is provided by Digital Gaming, while its poker room is part of the Ongame Network.

Having said that, all of it is slick, easy to navigate, and easy on the eye.

Being that this is a sportsbook, what can you bet on? Short answer? Everything.

All major American sports are covered, as is the obscure and offbeat sports. We’re not kidding. Football, basketball, baseball, tennis, golf, boxing, hockey … the list is extensive and pretty much comprehensive. Heading outside of the USA, you can bet on pretty much any sort of international sporting event that there is.

Rugby? Check. World Cup Soccer? Check. Indian Premier League cricket? Absolutely. F1 and motocross? Do you even need to ask?

And you don’t have to limit yourself to sports – you can place a wager on just about anything – even the weather.

Betting limits tend to be flexible. There’s some set ones, but if you’re a proven high roller you’ll find that almost any amount can be negotiated.

All the while bearing in mind that when you’re not actually placing bets, you can relax with a couple of your favorite casino games, or go head to head with players around the world in the poker room.

Bonuses and Loyalty Programs

There’s a loyalty program that awards you with points for every bet you make. These points can later be redeemed for actual cash.

In terms of conventional welcome deposit bonuses, a bonus of 20% is available on deposits of $300 or more.

Payment Methods

For a sports book of this type, the list of deposit methods is impressive. All told, Bookmaker.com accepts 57 different payment processors – I wasn’t aware that so many regional ones existed.

Credit cards are fine, of course, but regardless of how offbeat your chosen e-wallet is, Bookmaker.com are likely to be fine with it.

Some of the more well known e-wallets supported include EcoCard, Click2Pay, PaySafeCard, Speedcard Platinum, MoneyBookers and NETeller.

Safety and Customer Service

All connections to and from Bookmaker.com are encrypted with SSL3 security pipes. If you need assistance at any point in your sportsbook experience, you can contact the support staff via email or telephone, around the clock.
