Short description:
gamebookers.com is one of the world's
leading online sports books. They offer a wide variety of betting
opportunities across an international selection of sports.
gamebookers.com focus
is on fun, ease of use, reliability and security. They claim that their
software and systems are at the forefront of technological innovation, which
allows us to deliver cutting-edge game features and functionality.
Gamebookers is functioning since October 1998 and works online since 2000.
Gamebookers are one of the pioneers of bookmaking industry. They were the
first all-in-one shop for sports bettors covering a huge range of bets
combined with in-depth sports news, information tools and community
functions. Also they were the first to combine betting exchange with usual
betting and they were the first bookmaker allowing its customers to sell
their bets back to the house (and still are the only bookmaker offering this
option). According to official press-releases Gamebookers have more then
300.000 customers from over 150 different countries.
- You are seeking for secure and trustful online bookmaker
- You like well-designed and easy to navigate website
- You like to bet on different sports
- Bookmaker's margin is not important for your betting strategy
- You want to have ability to sell bet after you placed it
- You want to receive free SMS with your bet outcome
- You wager big sums (more than 500 Eur)
What I don't like in
gamebookers.com :
- Basketball lines not wide and release date is too late
- Asian handicap odds are not the best
- Bonus withdrawal rules are too risky to use
I like the way how
gamebookers.com works with VIP persons. They never cut limits
like many other bookmakers do, they allow punters to play on all markets and
your stake does not depend on your success rate. But this is a main reason
why their less popular than soccer lines are not so wide and odds are lower
than average. All in one
gamebookers.com is good place for those who like to bet
on sports and use big wager sums.
Unfortunately Switzerland, USA, Bulgaria and Netherlands based punters are
not accepted at Gamebookers.
gamebookers.com Security ReviewGamebookers is licensed and regulated by the Alderney Gambling Control
Commission and Government of Gibraltar. They are using PartyBets platform
which is tested by iTech Labs, an independent tester of gaming and wagering
devices. It ensures that Gamebookers games are operating correctly and.
Gamebookers also use 128-bit encryption, provided by Thawte Security, to
ensure the security and privacy of customers data. All customers information
is confidential and we will never be shared to third parties, except in
accordance with Gamebookers Privacy Policy.
Gamebookers has reduced the number of currencies it accepts. At this moment
you can have Gamebookers account in: Euros (EUR), US Dollars (USD), Sterling
(GBP), Leu (RON), Forint (HUF), and Zloty (PLN). A minimum deposit of EUR 5
($10) or currency equivalent applies.
Gamebookers Withdrawals
Cashing out can be fast and easy at Gamebookers but some fees apply eg GBP
0.75 for checks, debit card and VISA cash outs and Click2Pay. Everything
else is free except cheques and bank wires/transfers. Cheques can be mailed
or fast tracked via Fedex/UPS//DHL.You can only withdraw via the method you
deposited except for cheques & bank wires.
Gamebookers Bonuses & Promotions Review
Gamebookers will give you a 100% bonus on your first deposit (up to 50 USD)
when you open an account at Gamebookers. Please that Gamebookers bonus rules
apply to withdraw bonus. The deposit amount (up to maximum bonus amount) +
the bonus amount must be turned over 3 times in Gamebookers on odds 2.0 or
above before a withdrawal can be paid out. Bonus expires 90 days after
making a first deposit. Personaly I think that Gamebookers bonus rules are
too risky and I would not risk my bankroll 3 times on odds above 2.0 to get
additional 50 USD. It's much more easier simply to place one additional 100
USD bet on asian handicap market and win it.
Also you will earn GBPoints on every bet at Gamebookers. Later you will be
able to trade them for cash or gift certificates. You need 100 Points to be
able to withdraw after you've claimed the €50 bonus.
Gamebookers run other punter promotions (like free T-shirts, larger bonuses)
from time to time (usually specially for big events like Euro2008, Olympics
and so on).
Gamebookers Betting Line Review
Gamebookers has extremely good football line and offers a wide range of
other international sports too. If you are soccer punter then you'll be able
to bet on it at good odds (not the highest but one of the best on the market)
at Gamebookers. Most betting styles are supported here: outrights, halftime/fulltime,
half time, over/under, exact score, double chance, handicap, Asian handicap,
quarter Asians, double chance and system bets.
Other sports punters also can use Gamebookers but in most cases Gamebookers
line would not be so wide as for soccer. For example on basketball events
market you will be able to place bets only on outcome, handicaps and over/under
line. But because usually Gamebookers release their after Pinnacle & few
others bookmakers they usually release balanced line with no-errors which
are used for early markets. By doing such politics Gamebookers minimize
their risks on markets where they don't feel confident.
Live betting is also not the best side of Gamebookers. However Gamebookers
has a great Live Betting console on site and are extending their coverage
into new sports, they are 2-3 levels lower than leading live-betting
bookmakers like Betfair, Bwin or Bet365.com
I rate Gamebookers as a good bookmaker in overall. Maybe it's not the best
place for me as basketball punter but for sure it will satisfy need of 80%
punters who place bets on soccer. Gamebookers have excellent design and
navigation (best in the industry). Some of the Gamebookers features like
betting exchange between customers or ability to sell bets to bookmaker if
you decide to cancel them increase Gamebookers rating. I would recommend
this bookmaker for all punters who is seeking secure and trustful online
bookmaker.
