The Greek

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

Before reading why I believe they are 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 personal checklist that I use to rate sportsbooks. With that said, let's see how they stack up against our criteria.

The Greek Sportsbook has been around since 1996. Trust me if you've been around that long then you're doing something right. I personally have never had an issue with them when it comes to financial stability and I think that could be said for their other clients as well.

They are located in Montego Bay, Jamaica. You may also know them as Olympic Sports, which is now the parent company that runs The Greek along with Bet Jamaica (another one of my recommended sportsbooks).

They are known for their speedy payouts and always rate very highly among other sportsbook review sites, but more importantly among actual sports bettors. They definitely live up to their motto of "Sweat the game, not the payout."

The Greek has an unbelievable amount of betting options. Anywhere from the NFL to darts, they have you covered. Whatever your favorite sport to bet is, I can almost guarantee they will offer it. I would put their selection of sports up against any other book in the industry. It really is amazing.

As for limits, they can accommodate the smallest sports bettor (minimum $5 on the internet and telephone) all the way up to the high roller ($5000 per NFL side). However, if you're wanting to bet more you can always call to inquire about increased limits. The Greek is known for catering to professional sports bettors.

They also offer just about any type of sports wager as well. From straight wagers to buying action points, The Greek has them all.

They have pretty typical vigorish on their lines. Nothing really stands out here. The one thing I can say is that they do get their lines up well before any other sportsbook. So if you like to get in on the action early, The Greek is a great fit.

They are well known for being one of the first sportsbooks at posting lines...while most books will simply follow their lead. A true sign of a very sharp sportsbook and one that is always willing to take action.

As I stated earlier, this is on of their strong suits. All withdraws are processed within 24 hours. As far as options go for withdrawing money, they offer pretty much every one you could imagine.

The same can be said with deposits as well. I've never had an issue depositing money into my account and more importantly I've never had an issue withdrawing money from my account. When it's just as easy to withdraw your money as it is to deposit it, you know you're working with a great sportsbook.

Transaction costs on deposits are free or reimbursed when $300 or more is transferred. Withdrawals are free as well, which can't be said for some sportsbooks

The Greek offers a 21% new account bonus (max of $250) with a 4x rollover. They also have a reload bonus of 11% (max of $250 per month) with a 4x rollover, but that doesn't include credit card and express money deposits.

Their referral bonus is great at 21% (max of $250) which is based on the referral's initial deposit. They also offer extra bonuses for the more people you refer within a 30 day time frame.

Throughout the year they'll also offer specials like the Free Weekly Challenge Football Contest as well as the MLB Play at the Plate Weekly Cash Giveaway.

I've never had any issues with the customer service. The only complaint you might get is that the phone representatives may be a little difficult to understand since they are most likely from Jamaica (but you're going to get that with any sportsbook).

I really think the website is straightforward and effortless to use. It's easy to navigate and simple to understand. Once you wonder around it for a few minutes, you'll get the hang of it in no time. Whether it's checking lines or withdrawing money, I don't think you'll ever have an issue.

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