BookMaker Sportsbook



Let's take a look at what makes Bookmaker a quality, reputable sportsbook. I personally use this book and would recommend to anyone that isn't currently a client to learn more about it or sign up by clicking here.

Before reading why I believe Bookmaker is one of the best online sports betting sites, I'd first suggest checking out my How to Choose a Sportsbook Page. This will go over my own personal checklist that I use to rate sportsbooks. With that said, let's check out how it stacks up against my criteria.

Financial Stability: They are proudly known as one of the biggest and best sportsbooks in the industry. BookMaker was established in 1985 and are owned by BetCRIS Sportsbook who is based in San Jose, Costa Rica.

Of my top five sportsbooks, I have to say that BookMaker may just be the best. They are known for their professional players as well as creating the opening line before anyone else. Just check out any sportsbook review site or sports bettors forum and I know you'll hear great things.

I've never had an issue with any payout and actually never heard of anyone else having one either. They are an extremely quality sportsbook that have proven themselves to be one of the best in business.

Betting Options (range of sports and limits): BookMaker offers just about any type of sports wager you can dream up. They have tons of interesting bets and props if that's your thing.

Minimum betting limits are $5 online and $50 over the phone. When it comes to high stakes players, BookMaker really roles out the red carpet. Max bets are $5,000 online and $20,000 over the phone but players can also request higher limits for telephone betting.

They also have a wide range of betting options from the typical straight wager to purchasing action points.

Vigorish/Juice: When it comes to vigorish, BookMaker doesn't stand out much from other sportsbooks. They don't offer dime lines for the MLB and all other lines are pretty normal. I guess not everybody can be perfect but they do have some pretty nice bonuses.

Financial Transactions: Depositing and withdrawing money is about as simple as it comes (just as it is with my other top recommendations). You shouldn't have any trouble moving money in but more importantly you shouldn't have any trouble taking money out.

As with other sportsbooks, there are some min/max requirements depending on the deposit/withdrawal method. Withdrawals are processed immediately, five days week.

As I always say with financial transactions, always be sure to check out what other sports bettors are saying in the forums and be sure to take a look at the sportsbook review sites. But from my experience, BookMaker is top notch when it comes to depositing or withdrawing money.

Bonuses: They offer quite a few bonuses when funding your account. You'll receive a 20% signup bonus as long you deposit at least $300 ($500 max bonus). With reloads, you'll get a 10% free play every time(deposit must be at least $300 and $500 is the max bonus).

The referral bonus is pretty typical at 10% ($300 max bonus). For the signup bonus, the rollover is 5X, while with the reload and referral bonuses are only 3x.

They also have their loyalty program, BetPoints. Every bet you place, you'll earn BetPoints. They'll accumulate in your account and you're able to redeem them for various rewards such as cash back, gift cards, sweepstake entries, and quite a few other things.

Customer Service: Customer service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through telephone and email. The nice thing about emailing them is that they are required to be replied to within 15 minutes and phone calls are to be answered on the first ring.

The customer service representatives are very courteous and knowledgeable with any issues or questions you might have (at least from my experience). I really feel that they take pride in putting the client first and it shows when you talk with them over the phone.

Quality of Web site: It's a great looking website and probably one of the most professional I've ever seen. Bets are easy to make and navigation to different sporting events isn't a problem.

As with any sportsbook though, I always recommend spending a few minutes searching through the site to get used to how it flows. Once you get the hang of it, you'll be placing bets in no time.

Not that a website is the end all be all to a sportsbook, but they do have a very nice layout which makes it much more convenient as a client.

Bookmaker is one of the best online sports betting sites in the business. I use them personally and would recommend them to anyone.
