ProSportsOnlineSports news with a vegas edge.

First thing that you will see at the online bookmaker that you decide to visit is site design. Site design is not crucial when we are talking about online bookmakers, but says a lot about bookmaker possiblities and realibility. Site design is also relative thing, and is a metter of subject opinion, but you will hardly find the punter that do not like Gamebookers design. Important thing is that site is pretty fast, with lot of content and good link positions so you will have no problem in finding what you looking for. Good color combinations (3 colors design). There is no big graphics or show effects. This site is designed to make your life easier. Site is made in frames with menu on the left side. Really easy to navigate. Excellent!!!

Opening account procedure is also very important. Gamebookers solved this problem really good. You will easily find a link for registering. In couple of easy steps you will finish complete procedure in couple of minutes. All steps are easy for understanding. You can choose your own username and password, which is great and not available at many bookmakers. They even have checking procedure and they will not let you to choose password that is similar to your username. Good thing is that you do not need to do any deposit when you open account, and you can do it later. They have one great service, that we could not find at any other online bookmaker. When you register you have option to enter your mobile phone number, so later you will able to receive results of your bets via Gamebookers SMS service. This service is completely free and available for all bets bigger then 5 EUR. This is simple great. Just imagine: You can not watch the game you bet on, and while you are in shopping with your pretty lady (unfortunately we have to do this sometimes ) or on some business conference you got SMS with result information. Simply great and free of charge. After registering you will got confirmation mail with your username and if you lost your password you will always have possibility to use lost password link on Gamebookers site. We could not remember what else we would like to see in opening account procedure (maybe, they should deliver couple of beers and good looking blonde to our home address ). Excellent!!!

After you open your account you need to deposit some money if you want to bet. Let’s see what Gamebookers offer for us. You can deposit using all available credit cards (VISA, Master card, Diners, Eurocard). Minimum deposit via credit card is 10 EUR. There is no deposit fees on credit cards. If you do not like to use credit card deposit or do not have credit card, you can use Western Union, Quickpay, PayPal, Paybox, Paysafecard, Netteler, WebMoney, E-gold and MoneyBookers (MoneyBookers is owned by the same company as Gamebookers ). Also, you can use bank transfer from big number of banks around the world. We recommend credit card deposit as it is the fastest way to do it. Gamebookers is using 128 bits SSL security, which is more then enough to be sure for your transaction. Bank transfer take 2-7 days. Minimum deposit via bank transfer is 10 EUR too. Withdrawal can be done at any time with number of options. Credit card withdrawal is an option of course, but only to the amount that you once deposited through that credit card. They are simply doing credit back to yourr credit card. Best way for withdrawal is bank transfer. You will get your money in the bank account in 2-7 days. Withdrawal options are checques too, but as very slow solution as with all others bookmakers. You will get check via post and that can be pretty slow especially if you are not from Western Europe. One of the withdrawal solution is MoneyBookers. Important notice is that when you are doing your first withdrawal (of hundreds that we are hoping for ) you will have to send your ID copy to Gamebookers . This rule have some other bookmakers too, and it is important for legal purposes, so they can prove that you are over 18 and legitimate for gambling. It would be smart to scan your ID and have it in one folder so you can send them scaned copy via e-mail. It can be done in a minute so it is not a problem.

Ok, let’s say that we have uploaded our account with funds – then let’s bet Gamebookers is setting standards in large number of online betting fields, so you should not expect that betting procedure is complicated. It is very simple. On the left menu, choose the sport you want to bet on. You will get list of available games grouped by leagues. Choose the league from a combo, and you will get the list of available games. With one click you will place the game in your betting slip. You can add more games to the betting slip or just this one (Of course it is possible to add games from different leagues or sports). After you add all the games you want to your betting slip, you should enter money that you are willing to risk on this games and choose to play on singles, parlay or combo. Then you submit yoour betting slip, and you are able to see your final betting ticket with possibility to confirm or cancel it. When you confirm the ticket, you have placed a bet. Procedure works great and is very easy. You have great account history with info about every bet that you ever took or even download history report. You have possibility to change odds format on the site. You can download list of odds for the upcoming games or make your own wachlist (if you do this you will get mails as often as you decide with odds for the upcoming games and betting lines).You have option to sell the bet before the game end (like: odds for Chelsea win the title was 9.00 in one moment before the season kick off. We have placed 100 EUR bet on it, after 2 weeks Roman bought Mutu, Crespo, Joe Cole and Macalele and odds went to 3.00, so we have the option to sell our bet for more money that we put in (3 times more ). This is rapid example, but it can go in oposit direction, like if you put an early bet, and later in the week 3 key players broked a leg in your team, it is maybe smart to sell your bet for less money then you bet in order to save what you can). They have even better bonus for all serious punters. If you place more then 100 bets larger then 5 EUR in six months you will become silver member (similar for gold member option) and will have 1% charge back for every bet that you place in the future (gold members have bigger charge back percent). They are offering great statistics pages, maybe best in the market for all punters also free of charge, as well as team news, player news and news from the market. It is possible that your session will expire often as they set sessions on several minutes (not sure howmuch really) especially if you are used to look at 10 sites at the same time. This is for security reasons (especially for people who are using public computers and who forget to logout after placing a bet) and you just need to login again if this happens. Their WAP site is also incredible with lot of option. I am not a fun of WAP at all, but their site is one of the small number that I find usefull. Also, it is great to know that you can place a bet while you are on the fishing or whatever.

Gamebookers is covering almost everything that you can think off. Soccer (almost all leagues that you can think of, even Romanian in last couple of weeks), basketball (NBA, NCAA, European, Spain, Greece, Italian…), Tennis (even some challengers), Cricket, Boxing, Handball, Racing, just name it and they have it in their basic offer. And this is not all, unlike other bookmakers, they are offering special bets for almost all matches, like handicap and asian handicap, half time/full time bets, under and over, correct score, first/last scores, number of bookings, etc…Simply great. There is also option for live betting on some matches, and that mean on all important soccer matches, all derby matches and similar. They are also offering P2P betting with small fee. This is great feature too as you have betting exchange and normall sportbook at one place. Finally, they even offer sport quiz with prizes for best players. We could not fin any bookmaker online that is offering even 75% of what Gamebookers do.

This is the place where Gamebookers is not on the top of the list. Their odds are normal. Not extremelly large, and not small either. Just normal. If you catch event early you will be able to find better odds, but during the week the slash the odds on favourites especially. So, their odds are little less then best on the market , but bigger then with other large bookmakers as WillHill or Ladbrokes.

Customer service is crucial for online bookmakers as we see it. It is very important for punter to know that behind all this www and SF techology are real persons and to have someone to talk to, when you experience a problem. First of all, you will hardly experience any problem with Gamebookers , but even if you do so, you will have reply to your question in your Inbox quickly. Their customer service department is very helpfull and friendly and we never had any problem with it for 3 years that we are using their service. They also have great FAQ section on the site with answers to almost all questions that you can remeber to ask. Their managers are very often on punters discussion boards and are willing to answer to any question. Gamebookers have their own discussion board where you can also post some your questions and thoughts.

Gamebookers is one of the most realible online bookies at the market. They are in the busines since 1998. Gamebookers is situated in Antigues which is heaven for big number of bookmaker companies since their law offering a lot to online gambling community. Since last year Gamebookers have offices in Austria and UK, and working under Austrian and UK jurisdiction too, which is very good. They also have eTrust and Verisign licenses which tell something of their realibility, too. You will certainly not have any problems with them.

Advantages: We are simply delighted with Gamebookers offer. Since there is large number of bookmakers at online market today, it is hard to choose one among others, but Gamebookers is solving this problem. They are simple much better then others. – Great design – Easy betting procedure, combo possibility – P2P service – Free SMS notification service – Great statistics pages – Sport news service – Fast, friendly and helpfull customer service – Really large number of betting events (the biggest adventage) Disadvantages: – Odds are not big as we would like Conclusion: Gamebookers is simply No1 on the market today, if our opinion is relevant and is certainly is one of the bookmakers that you must have account with.
