Sports betting has been, remains and, perhaps, will be popular with millions of fans for a long time to come. Today it is safe to say that this industry, despite numerous prohibitions by the legislative bodies of certain countries, continues to develop. This is facilitated by the introduction of new tools for betting, including those offered by the "old-timers" of the market.
One of the companies that appeared at the dawn of the heyday of the betting market is Sportingbet BC. In addition to her, here you can also include William Hill, Bwin, Bet888 and others.
Online bookmakers
In addition to the fact that each of the mentioned offices has entire networks of representative offices in real life, they also carry out successful activities offline. So, each has a large portal, developed in most cases for different countries (for example, there is Sportingbet.cz - the Czech “mirror” of the Sportingbet website). Every day, such sites are visited by millions of players who make thousands of bets. And, despite the fact that there are quite a lot of bookmakers, each has its own market in which they successfully operate. Sportingbet.com is no exception. We will talk about it in the framework of this article.
Sportsbook Sportingbet
The history of this BC, we can say, is not much different from how such projects developed and created. Sportingbet was launched back in 1998, and already in 2006 it entered the world market. The birthplace of the project is the United States. It was from there that the first players were attracted. True, today in this country there is a law prohibiting the activities of offices that accept bets, because of which the company exists on the Internet. In addition, she has offices in several dozen countries from Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. According to company reports, the Sportingbet betting company accepts bets for a total of almost 2 billion pounds in a year. The company's profit is relatively small - only 20-25 million.
The office has been translated into 20 languages; as already noted, it works in different national domain zones (Sportingbet.ru address, for example, also functions successfully). This indicates an individual approach of developers to positioning in different markets.
Sports betting
The Sportingbet office (player reviews call it a huge plus) offers bets on more than 24 different sports. In addition to, of course, football (as the most popular of all existing to this day), there are also ready to accept bets on darts, cricket, golf and others. Here they are even ready to take them to the outcome of various political events, which lovers will obviously like to predict such things.
In general, the Sportingbet bookmaker, in addition to the reputation of one of the oldest players, also has a means of individualizing the interface (depending on which country the user has come from), wide possibilities of receiving payments and, of course, a lot of tools with which you can do bids. A true paradise for a betting enthusiast, what can I say!
Live Betting
Interesting for sports lovers is another mechanism. This is a method of betting directly during the broadcast of a match or game. Such rates are called Live, which from English translates as "live". At one time, they came to the bookmakers, after which they won the hearts of many fans. The basic principle of such games is the ability to receive bets during matches. Accordingly, the odds for a particular outcome will vary depending on how the game turns.
Actually, live betting is not new. It should just be said that at the Sportingbet office bets are allowed in the course of the development of events, and this function is implemented well. A lot of users leave positive recommendations regarding this method of sports predictions. For some, live bets are also the main method of earning. In particular, on the Internet you can find a lot of manuals on how money is won in this way.
Registration in BC
So, if you already have an account on the Sportingbet website (a “mirror”, for example, with the domain .ru or even .cz is also considered), you can skip this section. If you are new to the world of betting, and you would like to try to work with this office - you are welcome, you need to start by creating an account. You can do this directly on the company’s website using a special link.
Your office requires a list of data that most fully identifies your personality. In particular, this: name, surname, address of residence, as well as some passport data. Do not forget that in order to make bets on Sportingbet, you must be over 18 years old. It may be that the project administration will ask you to forward a photo (or scan) of a document that can confirm this condition.
In general, it should be said that registration in this office is quite simple in itself and takes no more than a few minutes. After it you will be notified by email, and after that you can replenish your account and start making bets.
Sportingbet office bonuses
Like all other betting resources, according to reviews, Sportingbet offers its users some bonuses and additional privileges. For example, an office has a rule to provide the so-called free bets for a certain amount, due to which you can win anything. This is useful in terms of attracting users, and nice to the people who make the forecasts.
In addition to bonuses regarding sports betting, the company has a number of similar promotions for casinos. Of course, in order to win them, you must either spend a certain amount of money on bets, or just get in a good time. In general, according to reviews, Sportingbet offers a whole calendar of bonuses. According to him, you can navigate, if you want to get some nice prize in the form of the same free bets, for example.
Replenishment and payment methods
No matter what bonuses the office has, one must always understand that in order to make bets, in any case, you will have to enter some money. This can be done in several ways.
Obviously, methods that are suitable for Sportingbet.cz, such as PayPal or Neteller, will not work for users from Russia. Therefore, the company provided for this by connecting also the payment systems that we use - Ya.Dengi, Webmoney and Qiwi. It is noteworthy that you can receive your winnings in the same system.
Another nice point that concerns any user is commissions. Experienced players know that most bookmakers charge a certain percentage for depositing and withdrawing money, due to which the final profit decreases against the interests of the user. Sportingbet (reviews will not lie about this) does not charge a fee from its members, due to which the final winnings remain untouched. Let it be, the collection of the system is not so significant, but still it is very nice. In equal conditions, a person, in the end, can choose this office if it is not inferior in all other respects to competing companies.
User support
In addition to a well-designed financial mechanism, the office also boasts a high-quality interface that can satisfy all the needs of the user, as well as a high-level support service.
So, according to official figures, players are served by over 150 operators for 10 hours. Each of them can promptly respond to the request that interests the client. In addition, Sportingbet is a bookmaker, reviews of which mention a special service - accepting bets by phone. This is a really new feature that can make the work of those users who are not connected to the Internet more comfortable. In order to deliver, the player only needs to call the dedicated line, dictate his account details and clarify his decision. The operator will place a bet.
Access to Sportingbet
Like other projects in this area, Sportingbet has a “mirror” (a resource located on a different domain and IP address), which can be accessed if the main address is blocked. These can be, as already noted, addresses in other domain zones - ru, cz, pl, de, fr (depending on the country where the office operates).
Cases of address blocking can occur, for example, if the provider has closed access to the portal due to the activity that it carries out (gambling and betting). In our country this prohibition is not widespread, as, for example, in the States, so it is unlikely that anyone will set a taboo for this BC at the provider level. The maximum is the blocking of working computers in the office, which can be bypassed using proxy services or VPNs. In this case, to go to Sportingbet, a “mirror” is not necessary.
Sections "Poker" and "Casino" on Sportingbet
Like other services where bets are accepted, this office allows users to try their luck with the help of their subsidiary projects - poker rooms and casinos.
Their purpose is clear: people who often bet on sports are prone to excitement. This means that at times when they will have funds available, but no significant sporting event will occur, such users can gladly part with funds in one of the categories of the Sportingbet website - a casino or at the poker table.
On the first, and so everything is clear - this is a standard set of roulette and slot machines, which are designed exclusively for the user's luck. Those who are confident in their abilities, for example, can easily double their winnings in bets in such a simple way. The main thing is that the need for some excitement will be eliminated, and the project will work a little.
As for poker, the situation here is somewhat different. Poker is played by a category of people who can dryly analyze facts, which, as a rule, wins. In this case, of course, such a person may be interested in sports betting. Then, of course, the Sportingbet service is just for him. Conveniently, the interface, as well as the cashier, is the same here - you can play and place bets, in fact, simultaneously.
Reviews Sportingbet through the eyes of players
As a result, we can cite some basic positions. They are voiced by reviews. Sportingbet, generally speaking, has positive recommendations. This applies, as already noted, bonuses to new players, financial instruments for betting, the number of games the office works with, various additional features that open to the player.
Negative reviews relate to individual situations. For example, people complain that after a series of wins they are overtaken by several major losses, as a result of which the entire bank is lost. Other categories of complaints are theft and alteration of personal data. A person, for example, claims that his password was changed by the administration of the resource in order to steal the funds on the account.
Of course, the flagrant facts described above are unacceptable for the bookmaker. However, it is impossible to confirm, as well as refute them. In addition, it is difficult to believe that such an activity will be carried out by an office with a billionth turnover in order to steal someone’s hundreds of dollars.
Therefore, think whether it is worth trusting such recommendations or not. And good bets!
