Sports Betting Questions

I’ve been going to my corner betting shop for years and have never had a problem. Why should I switch to an online bookmaker?

Betting online has so many advantages and you’ll see from our reviews that every bookmaker makes sure that all financial transactions are done safely and securely. Naturally, this type of wagering means that you can bet from the comfort of your own home or office, while many people like to place bets using a laptop from remote locations.

You will also see from the reviews that In-Play betting is becoming increasingly popular and this form of punting is barely available in betting shops. However, most self-respecting bookies offer live wagering on a variety of different sporting events, with the odds frequently changing as the action unfolds.

I’ve heard of some of the bookmaker brands on BookmakerReview.net, but does that make them safer to bet with than other books I haven’t heard of?

Irrespective of whether you recognise a brand or not, you’ll see which online bookmakers are safest by reading our reviews, written by people who are greatly experienced in this field. Any sportsbook that we recommend should be using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) which will encrypt all data to and from their site.

However, if you’ve heard of a particular bookmaker brand already, it’s possible that’s because a friend or colleague might have an account with this sportsbook. Indeed, many of these operators have worked hard to build up a brand which has values such as trust, integrity and honesty, so you might choose to favour them.

I appreciate your honest and independent bookmaker reviews, but I like to sample multiple sources before making my pick. Are there other places I can go to get reliable second opinions on online bookmakers?

Yes, there are several other sites out there which provide users with objective reviews. You can visit SportsBookReview.com, which has always been a ‘punter’s champion’ of a site. However, if you’re looking for a more European tone, try BettingPro.com or FreeBetting.co.uk. Both of these sites also employ a scoring or ranking system to good effect.

Why are the reviews at BookmakerReview.com the best reviews online?

We don’t try to ‘hard sell’ you into opening bookmaker accounts, leaving the choice completely down to you. Our view is that it’s down to each individual to read our objective reviews and come to their own conclusion about what each sportsbook offers. We have thought long and hard about the way that the reviews are structured so that they are easy to digest and we also base our thoughts on long-term wagering at each of the sites.

Can I have an account at more than one bookmaker? What is the advantage to me?

Yes, you certainly can and it’s preferential to have more than one bookmaker account. You’ll usually get a free bet when you register with a particular sportsbook, so the more you open means extra free bets! However, you’ll also find that bookies have differing strong points. For example, you might have a favourite for wanting to place quick bets before an event is about to start, but choose to visit another bookmaker for all your In-Play betting requirements. We recommend that you start off with two or three, especially as you can compare the odds and subsequently get better prices.
