Baccarat
Casino
http://www.baccaratcasino.com
A FutureBet site that still suffers from past association
with WorldGaming. Numerous reports of slow pay issues.
Belmont
Casino
http://www.belmontcasino.com
StarNet. WorldGaming. Crooks. Avoid.
Bet24
http://www.bet24.com
VERY SLOW site. Danish influenced site based in London. Limited
info so proceed with caution (you’ll probably give up
before the site loads).
BetaBet
http://tyson.betabet.com
BetOnSports clone. Past payout problems. Being under the BOS
umbrella is a negative, as are several reports of slow pay
/ no pay. Spending big money on advertising does not necessarily
mean they can be trusted.
Bet-at-Home
http://www.bet-at-home.com
Austrian book. Heavy emphasis on soccer. Reports of payment
disputes causes us to urge caution.
Bet
Class
http://www.betclass.net
Horrible site design. Reports of difficulty with financial
transactions between US and this Malta-based book.
BetCom
http://www.betcom.com
Grand Central Sports clone. Costa Rica based. Reports of slow
pay and bonus scams. AVOID
BetDaq
http://www.betdaq.com
Ireland based betting exchange founded in 2000 by leading
Irish businessman and major shareholder in Glasgow Celtic
Football Club. Limited player information available.
Bet
Direct
https://www.betdirect.net
UK site with ties to Littlewood Leisure and using Cryptologic
software. Operating from the Isle of Man. Limited player feedback.
Bet
Ex
http://www.bet-ex.com
Betting exchange site based in the UK. Seems to be limited
demand for such sites and, as such, there is very little by
way of player feedback.
BetGreen
Casino & Sportsbook
http://www.betgreen.com
Costa Rica-based operation. Facing the same uncertain political
future as all other CR books. Some slow pay reports. Extreme
caution is urged.
BetHiLo
http://www.bethilo.com
Mirror site of SportingIndex – a European based spread
betting shop. Limited US interest and very little player feedback.
BetInternet
http://www.betinternet.com
Claims Interactive Gaming Council membership but not found
on IGC site. No fixed odds wagers on sports are offered to
American citizens.
Bet
Jerrys
http://www.betjerrys.com
When a site fails to provide any company information and/or
continues to maintain an amateur looking site, we cannot give
them our recommendation.
BetLion
Sportsbook
http://www.betlion.com
Costa Rican sportsbook facing the same regulatory uncertainties
as the rest of the CR books. Caution is advised.
Bet
New York Sportsbook
http://sportsbook.betnewyork.com
A FutureBet site that continues to suffer from past association
with WorldGaming. Numerous reports of slow pay with this family
of sites.
Betting
Express
http://www.bettingexpres.com
One of several mirror sites that are taking advantage of misspelled
domains names of other popular books to get traffic. Not very
professional and we don’t recommend them. Besides, when
they LOOK like WorldGaming and SMELL like WorldGaming, you
can bet on getting screwed!
Betting
On Sports
http://www.bettingonsports.net
Avoid all such JC Capitals sites. Interestingly, this site
claims to be located on the “island” of Costa
Rica in the “Eastern Caribbean.” Hmmm.
BetOnSports
http://www.betonsports.com
AVOID! Numerous reports of slow pay / no pay. Spending big
money on advertising does not necessarily mean these scammers
can be trusted.
Bet
on USA
http://www.betonusa.com
We’re getting mixed reviews on this book and several
reports of evasiveness in regards to some recent dispute resolution.
Exercise caution.
BetQuick
http://www.betquick.com
LEAVE QUICK! These guys generate traffic from misspellings
based on the Don Best URL. What a joke. Unprofessional marketing
tactics = an unprofessional company. Take your action elsewhere.
Bet
Royal
http://www.betroyal.com
Rarely have we seen a good book fall so far so fast. At one
time a book on top of everyone’s list, Royal’s
rumored financial problems and the high degree of controversy
surrounding this shop are enough to scare us away right now.
UPDATE
9/22/03: Royal has recently added the follwoing
to their Terms and Conditions: If a member’s
account remains unused for a period of twelve months, the
company reserves the right to close the account and assume
ownership of any and all outstanding balance left in the account.
Bets4All
http://www.bets4all.com
Austrian site geared toward the European player. Not the easiest
site to navigate and very little by way of company information.
Limited feedback.
BetSense
http://www.betsense.com
Makes NO SENSE to play at this amateurish looking book. Serious
complaints regarding payout policies and procedures. Steer
clear.
BetShop
http://www.betshop.com
British bookmaker geared toward the European betting community.
Limited US player feedback.
Betsson
http://www.betsson.com
A relatively new UK-licensed betting exchange leaning heavily
towards European sports. Limited feedback here.
Bet
Tropics
http://members.bettropics.com
The Costa Rica connection puts this book in a bad spot. Unstable
climate for any gaming operations in CR right now.
BetZone
http://www.betzone.com
Geared toward the European sports bettor, we’ve found
limited feedback from US players with regards to these folks.
Beverly
Hills Bookie
http://www.beverlyhillsbookie.com
Perhaps a solid book, but Costa Rica locale places it at risk
because of the uncertainties surrounding CR government and
online gaming business.
Black
Banana Casino
http://www.blackbananacasino.com
One of the FutureBet family of sites and, like the rest, plagued
by numerous reports of slow pay. Don’t get involved
if you don’t have to. Who would send money to a site
called the “Black Banana” anyway?
Blockbuster
Bets
http://www.blockbusterbets.com
Nah … why bother. Just another of the apparently infinite
number of sportsbook clones all offering the same stuff under
different names. Costa Rica location is not preferred.
Blue
Grass Sports
http://www.betbg.com
Despite well-placed advertising and industry “endorsements”,
this book carries our current admonishment to STAY OUT OF
COSTA RICA.
Blue
Marlin Sports
http://www.bluemarlinsports.com
Be careful. When a site claims to be “recommended by
Major Wager” it really means that they are an “advertiser”
at Major Wager.
Blue
Square
https://www.bluesq.com
UK-based interactive betting shop with a decent European reputation
and little by way of US player feedback.
BML
Sports
http://www.bmlsports.com
Proudly display the Internet Gaming Commission logo on their
front page. However, the BML Sportsbook bulletin board on
the Internet Gaming Commission site is packed with slow pay
and no play complaints. Guess they ain’t real smart
either.
Detailed
Report >>
Bubba’s
Casino
http://www.bubbascasino.com
Whatever! I guess this is supposed to be a Bubba Smith endorsed
sportsbook. It’s definitely a StarNet-related site and
that simply means RUN!
Bet
Buckeye
http://www.betbuckeyesports.com
Who and where? They’re not making that information easy
to find … perhaps we’ll try their posted mailing
address in Miami. Either way, their recent server and security
problems are enough to keep us away.
