SportsBetting.ag Sportsbook Review

While SportsBetting.ag is a relatively new site, the brand behind the new domain has actually been around since 1999 and has undergone a fair few changes in that time. The previous domain –SportsBetting.com – has been bought out by gambling giants BetOnline and re-branded as SportsBetting.ag. The reason behind this is purely to overcome US laws which restrict players from depositing funds into US based gambling sites. As part of the re-brand BetOnline shifted SportsBetting.ag headquarters to Panama where gambling laws are much relaxed, and can now offer their services to players from the US.

Whilst it’s not uncommon for gambling sites to go through a re-branding process, few make as successful a transition as SportsBetting.ag. In fact, the company’s success has managed to gain a string of accolades from the gambling industry already and now sit comfortably as one of the biggest sportsbooks in the US.

Promotions and Bonuses at Sportsbetting.ag

Upon registering a new account with SportsBetting.ag you can take advantage of a welcome bonus worth up to $900 from your first deposit. The bonus is matched at 25% of your deposit but it’s worth noting that any deposit made via credit card will only be eligible for a 15% bonus, with all other methods getting the full 25% bonus. To clear the bonus you need to work through six times or more. Each bonus will be credited to your account after review within 24 hours. Only once the bonus has been accepted will you start being able to clear it.

On top of your initial bonus you can also claim exactly the same bonus on every deposit you make at the site. Same terms as above apply.

Sportsbook fans can take advantage of two additional promotions that are run by SportsBetting.ag. The first is a money-back special on the total goals market for soccer. If you have placed a wage on the over in the total goals market and the game finishes 0-0 then SportsBetting.ag will refund your losing bet.

Horse racing bettors can claim up to a 7% rebate with each bet. The 7% will apply to bettors who place a wager online whilst phone bettors will receive a 4% rebate on bets.  There are no limits as to how much you can make from either bet, making this offer one of the more exclusive bets in the industry.

If sometimes you like to look away from sports betting and dabble in a bit of casino or poker action then there are exclusive offers for both of these as well. Casino players get a 25% reload bonus with every deposit with the same on offer for each deposit you make at the poker tables.

Sports and Markets to Bet On at Sportsbetting

SportsBetting.ag has grown into what can only be described as one of the most comprehensive sportsbooks online. It’s actually unlike many of its competitors In terms of layout with a simple, yet clean approach to their aesthetics.

They offer a good range of international sports throughout their site. Whilst the emphasis is definitely on US based sports with games from the NBA, NCAA, NFL, NCAA, CFL, AHL and NHL all apparent, the site also includes some of the more European based sports such as soccer, darts, golf, snooker and rugby. Finding a balance between offering up sports that offer value to their punter and just offering markets for the sake of bolstering up their site is often a fine margin. SportsBetting.ag has managed to find the balance nicely by merely providing more of a ‘mainstream’ service, for want of a better word.

Banking

Banking options from the site are very good and the offer most of the higher profile deposit and withdrawal options in the industry. Debit cards, credit cards, e-wallets, cheque’s and even bank wires are all on offer.

In an attempt to encourage customers to use certain banking methods SportsBetting.ag have added fee’s and even min/max deposit/withdrawal amounts. For instance, people depositing by credit can only take a 15% bonus from each deposit whereas people banking with e-wallets and debit cards can take up to 25%.

Verdict

It’s often tough when a site gets re-branded to really make a stand in the marketplace. After all, if it was going so well previously then why change? Some sites need to re-brand to overcome certain laws, regulations or simply to cater for a wider demographic of punters I.E. The US market. The latter is definitely the case for SportsBetting.ag and we are pleased to report that the site is as good as it ever was.

It’s such a simple site; there’s little fuss and in a way, this is one of its biggest selling points. The ease in which placing bets occurs is really great and whilst aesthetically it’s not going to win any awards, in terms of functionality there are few that come close.

The inclusion of features such as their ‘Sporting Edge’ section which is basically an all you could want to know about the world of sports betting provides a real reason for punters and sports fans to go back to the site. In a world where player retention is as tough as ever in the betting industry, it’s these little touches which make the site into the most accomplished gambling sites in the world.
