BetOnline Sportsbook Review

Founded in 2004, BetOnline is one of the largest online sports betting sites operating on the US market these days, and one oft he premium options covered in our online sportsbook reviews guide. The site is well known for offering some of the best odds on major American sports, such as football, basketball, baseball, auto racing and even boxing or mixed martial arts. If that wasn't enough, BetOnline supports a wide range of wager types, which typically range from standard money lines and point spreads to multi-selection parlays and proposition bets. The leagues that get complete coverage include NHL, NBA, NFL and NCAA college sports, just to name a few – but as you'd expect from one of the biggest sportsbook operators in the industry, important international events like the World Cup or Wimbledon are also well covered.

The live betting section isn't as extensive as the one available with Bovada or major European sites , but in the end you should be able to put your money on any of the games that have been listed in the pre-match betting section. When it comes to horse racing, BetOnline operates a separate racebook that allows you to put your money on all the important races held at American race tracks with a 7% rebate. Last, but definitely not least, BetOnline runs a rather informative Stats Center, which allows you to take a look at all the latest results and wagering trends without actually leaving the site.

BetOnline is well known for offering some of the best bonuses in the entire industry. New players are free to take advantage of a 25% welcome promotion, which allows you to grab up to $1,000 in extra plays. This bonus is available exclusively on your first deposit and has to be used within 30 days from making your payment. In addition, BetOnline offers a $25 Free Play for live betting, which means that your first wager in the in-play section will be absolutely risk free – and if that wasn't enough, mobile users can take advantage of a Mobile Betting $50 Free Play, which follows similar rules and is available for all the customers who visit the site using their smartphone or tablet.

BetOnline is a part of a larger offshore gaming network which also operates a casino, poker room and a skill game site, so it should come as no surprise that the sportsbook adheres to the highest standards in terms of sportsbook banking, customer service and safety. Personal information and other kinds of sensitive data are protected with the latest encryption technologies and the site guarantees that your withdrawals will always arrive on time, so you won't have to wait longer than the official two weeks in order to receive your winnings. As you'd expect, the traffic is rather high, allowing the site to introduce new and exciting promotions and features that give it an edge over some of the less popular sportsbooks.

BetOnline supports a wide range of deposit options when dealing with international customers, which range from Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover card payments through popular e-wallet services like Skrill or Neteller to traditional methods such as check by courier or a bank wire transfer. Unfortunately, American customers won't be able to take advantage of several of those options, as companies like Neteller or Skrill have been forced to withdraw from the US market after the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act has been passed in 2006 – in fact, to make a deposit for most US-based players would be to use a major credit card, debit card, prepaid debit card options that are cleared for International transactions, money transfers and Secure Payment vouchers. BetOnline is adding Bitcoin deposits to their menu, which will be accessible to both US and International players. Withdrawals are usually handled via a check or a bank wire transfer, but customers who made a deposit using an e-commerce system are allowed to withdraw using this method.
