BetOnline.ag Review

BetOnline has managed to grow into one of the leading sportsbooks in the US. Since the company first came into fruition back in 2001, it has since then gone on to compromise of some of the industry’s leading sportsbook analysts  and customer service managers who have empowered the term ‘substance over design’ throughout their sportsbook.

BetOnline’s rise to success has mainly come down to the fact they offer one of the most comprehensive sportsbooks for US players. In an era where finding places to wager for US based bettors is slightly more difficult than years gone by, having somewhere with the infrastructure and attributes that BetOnline offers is a massive bonus.

Promotions and Bonuses

New users to BetOnline can enjoy a welcome bonus of up to $900 on their first deposit. This is a 25% qualifying bonus on any amount deposit over $50. In order to receive the full bonus a qualifying deposit of $3200 will be needed. The bonus includes a 6x rollover clearing rate.

A great feature offered by BetOnline is the fact that not only do you get this bonus on your first deposit, but in fact you get this lifetime on every deposit you make. The max bonus remains the same, but if you are looking to deposit more than the maximum to get the full amount, then it will be worth breaking this down into multiple deposits so you get a bonus on each deposit.

Soccer fans can take advantage of the ‘Nil-Nil’ refund from BetOnline. The promotion will give you a refund on all bets placed on the over of total goals in a game if that match finishes 0-0. On top of this horse racing bettors can get up to a 7% rebate on wagers placed via the internet and up to 4% on wagers placed over the phone. There are no limits as to how much players can earn from each.

Casino players can also take advantage of the 25% deposit and reload bonus when you deposit just $25 or more. High rollers can get free money depending on the amount they wager. This ranges from $50 in bonuses up to $1000. Poker players can enjoy over $150,000 in guaranteed prize money every week from their online poker room. A host of welcome freerolls and even reload bonuses are offered throughout the year.

Sports and Markets

The BetOnline sportsbook definitely has a very international feel with a host of sports on offer from around the world. The major US sports such as Football, Basketball, Hockey and Soccer are there, but the likes of cricket, boxing, snooker, rugby, golf and marital arts all have markets in their own right.

The depth of the markets isn’t the best with BetOnline concentrating pretty much exclusively on upcoming game rather than looking ahead to a wider market. Having said that, the games are pretty well covered and you can easily flick between American and decimal odds depending on your preference.

The simplicity of the betting markets actually works really well. You select your sport, league and then the games along with the odds are listed on the page. There’s no fancy gimmicks, no annoying flash images popping out at you, just a simple overview of the games taking place. In this case less is definitely more with BetOnline. It is worth noting again that BetOnline adopts an ‘Overnight Lines’ rule where limits on bets will be lower when placed overnight (or out of office hours).

Banking

BetOnline have  a wide range of banking options for their customers which include Visa ($25 min – $1,000 max), MasterCard ($25 min – $1,000 max), Instant Gift Card ($25 min – $1,000 max), Moneygram ($50 min – $2,500 max), Western Union ($25 min – $1,000 max), Money Orders ($300 min – $9,000 max), Moneybookers ($10 min – $50,000 max), Neteller ($25 min – $1,000 max) and bank wire ($1,000 min, no max). All transactions are carried out in USD.

There are no fee’s charged for deposits (any fees charged will be credited back into your account) over $300 and any deposits made with Neteller will incur a 3% charge should you not roller over your initial deposit at least once. Withdrawal fees will be incurred which range between free and $250 depending on how much you withdraw and which method you use.

Verdict

BetOnline is quickly becoming one of the leading US based sportsbooks for US based players. It’s clean, crisp layout makes it simple to use, but it’s wide range of banking options really sets it aside from the majority of its competitors. In terms of betting at a safe environment few come better equipped than BetOnline with their 128 bit encryption with firewalls keeping your money safe. Their on-going promotions are just adding to the many boxes that this sportsbook are continuing to tick.
