Ladbrokes Review

UK’s largest and most respected Bookmaker. Best in range of markets and many specials. Their high limits gets the attraction of big punters. Let’s take a look further with more details…

1. Bookmaker Details

2. Customer Support

Ladbrokes offer 24/7 multi lingual customer service. They offer 2 ways to contact their customer support, phone call or direct email. They usually solve all problems very fast and they answer emails in 1-2 hours usually. They don’t offer live chat option but even in phone call, they are able to attend you in several languages.

3. Website design (lay out)

One of the fastest and easier layouts. Your Betting selections going directly to your betting slip and you can find all the markets available very easy.

4. New account bonuses

Ladbrokes only offer a ₤10 free bet for new accounts. That s probably not the best incentive for possible new clients. But in my opinion if they only offer this is because they know his service is enough good and they don’t need to offer anything extra. It s true than most Ladbrokes clients aren’t rookies and they have registered just to complete his portfolio with best bookies to able each time to get the best odd.

5. Betting Information

Ladbrokes allows 2 ways to place bets, Online interactive or phone betting. And they currently offer 3 odds formats, Decimal (European style) and American (US style).
Bet365 currently accepts next currencies: AUD, CAD, CHF, DKK, EUR, GBP, NOK, HKD, JPY, NZD, SEK, SGD, THB and USD.

6. Disadvantages

Ladbrokes disadvantages are most usual with all European bookmarkers. But the main one if the medium-big margins in odds. That most times doesn’t all to their costumer to get best odds in the market. Also another weak point is the initial bonus to try to get one more incentive for new possible costumers.

7. Reliability

I think that just telling than Ladbrokes has license in UK is enough to imagine how serious is this company. But if you want to know my personal opinion and which I could find in several betting forums. They have one of the best ratings in all betting site with excellent rating deserved.

8. Odds quality (margins, commissions)

Ladbrokes doesn’t offer best margins over the net and that means that most times they wont offer best odd over the net. It s true than their odds in major soccer leagues are good but when you check some lower leagues, their commissions are abusive but at least they offer many lower leagues.

Ladbrokes Overall Rating : 7/10

Really professional work. The layout is fantastic and simple together, with one-wallet system that makes everything easier. Very easy to create your bets, combos, etc. Betting selections are also designed excellent and very well organised.

6. Disadvantages

Bet365 don’t have many disadvantages but we should search to find their weak points. I see 2 major disadvantages. First one is than Bet365 sometimes in several markets offer medium-big margins, that don’t let their costumer to get best odds offered over the net. This margin is usual comparing with most European bookmakers, but it s a bit high in my opinion.

Second disadvantage is even a bit more worried, because Bet365 seems than only likes loser accounts, when they noticed than any user is winning regularly in any sport, they usually limit then to ridiculous sizes, just inviting the costumer to leave his company. That probably sounds hard, but I think Bet365 doesn’t like long run winners in their customers. So they aren’t the best bookmarker if you are planning to win regularly.

7. Reliability

This is probably stronger point from Bet365. If we compare with others bookmakers and most of them have licenses in suspicious countries. Bet365 licensed in England and working more than 30 years without any major problem, that just can man than his reliability is out of any doubt.

8. Odds quality (margins, commissions)

Bet365 doesn’t offer best margins over the net and that means that most times they wont offer best odd over the net. It s true than their odds in major soccer leagues are good but when you check some lower leagues, their commissions are abusive but at least they offer many lower leagues.

Bet365 Overall Rating : 8/10

Unibet Review

Largest Swedish owned bookmakers in Europe. Experts at Scandinavian markets, redesigned site, solid bookmaker with a respectable name. Let’s take a look further with more details…

1. Bookmaker Details

Company Name : Unibet Ltd
Date established : 1997
Current License : Malta
Languages : Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish.
Country restrictions : U.S. residents not accepted

2. Customer Support

Unibet don’t offer live chat option currently. There is only possible to contact them by phone call or sending an email. Speaking about his email service I should say they aren’t as fast as many others bookies. But I also should say than they have some most popular questions and answer than help a lot especially to beginners. You can also send them an email in your own language.

3. Website design (lay out)

Probably one the best layouts in the industry. Great graphics, fast loading, and most important, everything is so easy to find and check. You can make your bets ultra fast, the same applies for your combos/systems etc. Really nice and enjoyable to browse.

4. New Account Bonuses

Unibet currently offer a 100% bonus capped at £20. The bonus and deposit must be rolled over 6x before it can be withdrawn.

5. Betting Information

Unibet currently only offer to watch decimal odds (European style). You can place the bet online interactive or also by phone.

Unibet accepts the following currencies: US Dollar, EURO, Pound Sterling, Norwegian Kroner, Danish Krone, Swedish Krona, Swiss Franc and Polish Zloty.

6. Disanvantages

Unibet doesn’t offer the best odds of the market because they have medium-high commission in their markets. I see as a major problem for experienced punters, It s than they don’t offer in most league Asian handicap so with just 1×2 in most leagues, their offer isn’t usually the best comparing with others better European bookmarkers.

I also think their limits are a bit small especially in lower leagues, when they are sometimes scared because they know than their odd makers aren’t as good to beat punters and they have to only offer ridiculous limits trying to don’t lose so much in their odd maker’s mistakes. It would be also nice if they can offer more specials in basketball, points players, rebounds, assists, etc … They only offer quite few where they are big competitions like Final Four in Euroleague.

7. Reliability

Unibet is based in Malta. They are one of the newest companies in the market and they are quite famous mainly in Nordic countries. I should say that they have an excellent reputation from the net and it s hard to find costumers than they had serious problems with them. In my opinion in a bookie that everybody should have in his bookmarker list to always be able to get the best odd as possible, because using only 1 bookmaker it s more difficult to get always the best odd.

8. Odds Quality (margins, commissions)

Unibet has average margins comparing with rest of top10 European bookies. They are famous by their low margins, because sometimes they even offer in basketball games @1,85 @1,85, that gives really few chances to the costumer to beat them. Experienced punters only use Unibet in special chances when they do a big mistake, because normally you very rarely will find the best odds there.

Unibet Rating : 8/10

Pinnacle Sports Review

Pinnacle Sports offers the Lowest margins and the highest limits in the business. This is the undisputed best sportsbook for the professional player. Let’s take a look further with more details…

1. Bookmaker Details

Company Name : Pinnacle Sports Worldwide
Date established : 1998
Current License : Netherlands Antilles Gaming Commission, Fully Licensed and Regulated  in Curacao.
Languages : English, Spanish, Italian, German, Norwegian, , Russian, Portuguese, Chinese, Hebrew, Swedish and Thai .
Country restrictions : U.S. residents not accepted

2. Customer Support

This seems one of weakest points. Pinnacle Sports don’t offer live chat or phone support to its users, I can only assume that this is a money saving exercise. From my experience their email service support is very efficient and they are always very fast responding to emails.

3. Website design (lay out)

European based players may be find it a little bit strange if they already have experience with other european based sportsbooks, but it is a matter of time to get on it. The browsing is fast, and the betting selections menu is well organised.

4. New Account Bonuses

Pinnacle Sportsbook currently offer a 10% cash bonus (up to $500). This bonus offer is made for he following deposit types: cashier check, credit/debit card, InstaDebit, Moneybookers, Neteller, myCitadel or bank wire. If you have claimed this bonus before you can withdraw your deposit you have to rollover 3x in Sportsbook or 6x in Casino and you have to wait 30 days.

5. Betting Information

Pinnacle allows 2 ways to place bets, Online interactive (min. bet $1) or phone betting (min. bet $100). And they currently offer 2 odds formats, Decimal (European style) and American (US style).

Pinnacle Sports currently accepts the following currencies: Austrian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Danish Krone, EURO, Hong Kong Dollar, Japanese Yen, Malaysian Ringgit, New Zealand Dollar, Norwegian Kroner, Pounds Sterling, Singapore Dollar, Swedish Krona, Thailand Baht, Taiwan dollar and US Dollar.

6. Disadvantages

I see 2 major disadvantages; First one is than Pinnacle Sports currently don’t offer livebetting, that is quite bad new because many users like to place some bets in running. And second one is mainly about reduced limit of offers in many leagues. They mostly offer Asian handicaps, goal lines, and money line, but very rarely special bets according to card, minute to score, etc … This isn’t a big disadvantage but would be nice if they could offer more specials bets especially in European basketball.

7. Reliability

Pinnacle Sports is based in the Netherlands Antilles in Curacao. Over the years I have not found any bad testimonials regarding their services, this is quite strange because most betting forums are have plenty of bad stories about bookies. Pinnacle is one of the most reliable bookies that you will find on the internet.

8. Odds Quality (Margins,Commissions)

Pinnacle Sports has the lowest margins and commissions in comparison to others online bookmakers. They have the best offers in most important soccer leagues, Premier League, Spanish Primera, Bundesliga and Serie A with just 4% margin. In others leagues and sports their odds are also usually the best on market. If you want to get best odds over the internet, you must have Pinnacle Sports in your bookmaker list.

Overall Pinnacle Sports Rating : 9/10
