Sportingbet was founded in 1998 by Mark Blandford, an owner of a traditional bookmaker business who saw the potential for sports betting online. 2001 saw the company listed on the London Stock Exchange and the firm is fully licensed in UK and Australia. All of this makes it clear that Sportingbet is a very solid and trusted company. The company has expanded in recent years and has purchased many other betting companies to strengthen their size in the market

Sportingbet offers a huge variety of sports. If you like to bet on US based sports, you definitely have to look at Sportingbet. The company was heavily focusing on the US market a couple of years ago before the legal restrictions put a stop to this. US citizens are no longer welcome as customers but the US sports offered at Sportingbet ensures the firm still caters for fans of US sports.

The site is available in 22 languages and you can bet in about 15 different currencies. As is standard practice, you can not change the currency connected to your account, so chose wisely. The odds formats available are fractional (UK), American or decimal. Sportingbet also offers Casino, Poker, Games, Backgammon and Financial markets.

Sportingbet offers almost any sport you could think of, including Horse racing and Greyhounds. The football section is big but not huge and there are many smaller leagues missing. The betting options offered at the major football leagues however, are virtually endless. There is also some kind of handicap line, but that is not very competitive.

What about the odds compared to other bookmakers? We find the odds about average, but you will find the occasional bet of interest, so remember to keep checking. The US sports usually are better priced than the odds offered by European based bookmakers, so if you are into US sports, you will like the odds offered at Sportingbet. The live betting section is great, a lot of sports are offered and not only football, so whatever sport you like, be sure to check it out.

The betting limits shouldn’t be any problem if you are not a professional punter, and if you are, then you will already have a list of bookmakers to place your bet with.

Sportingbet has a live score and a statistics section with tables, which is great for beginners.

The site was completely rebuilt some time ago and our team really likes the new site. It is easy to navigate and very easy to place a bet which is viewed in a betting slip. The site is extremely user friendly and has a nice design which makes the site a pleasure to visit and fun to use. There have been some complaints about difficulties to find the Withdrawal and My account functions, which is fair comment if you are in a rush but if you take your time, you will find them!

Opening an account is easy as well as is withdrawing money. The customer support offer a great live-chat function and the company can also be reached by e-mail and phone, which is free for UK citizens. The custom support has been easy to reach for our team, so we have no complaints on this matter.

The payment methods are the usual payment methods. Credit/debit cards, bank transfer, electronic wallets and many more are on offer to the customer. Any withdrawals to your card are free of charge and usually take between 3-5 bank days, which is about the standard time. We would all like to receive the money faster but that appears to be the general time for withdrawals to reach your account.

A big plus is the help section that explains everything you need to know about payments and withdrawals in a really good way so if you are unsure about anything, check this out.

Sportingbet are offering some very attractive bonuses and offers, so they must be keen to get your business. Be sure to take advantage of the offers when you sign up, it can be very profitable!
