Best Online Sportsbooks are just that. Those in the Best Sportsbook category are the safest of all sportsbooks. These sportsbooks have rapid payouts. They do not move limits or rules for successful punters and they have good websites. They generally have very good odds as well. Only 14 books make this cut.
Best Odds
All Best Odds Sportsbook Reviews in this site are endorsed by Sports-Bet-Win. All reputable sportsbooks offering best odds or juice better than -110. There are only 9 in this category – there is no documented evidence of any problems with punters in these books.
Best Bonuses
Best Bonus Sportsbook Review lists sportsbook bonus in order of what we believe is the best bonus taking into account sportsbook safety and track record. We will not endorse any book that has a poor customer service record and we will issue ‘sign up with care’ caution on some books. There are some books with ridiculously high bonuses. This is often a warning sign of a books health and we will not advertise any book which we believe pose any threat to players financial safety.

Betfair Betting Exchange Review
Betfair Betfair is not a sportsbook – it is an online beting exchange. This means that odds are not set by bookmakers but rather by other customers. As well as accepting bets, every customer has the opportunity to be a bookmaker and lay odds for someone else to accept. Betfair offers better odds because: (i) It does not have to employ cappers (ii) It takes a commission regardless of what bets take place.Betfair has quickly established itself at the top of the pile of online gaming sites. Betting can take place on a wide variety of sports and bet size is limited only by liquidity. Betfair has no peer amongst sports betting exchanges and the only sportsbook that can rival it in our opinion is Pinnacle. The only negative is that the site is not as user friendly as the likes of Pinnacle or Bookmaker or Legendz. If you are not a US citizen this is an ideal first sportsbook. If you are a serious bettor you are missing out if you do not have Betfair in your sportsbook arsenal. Caters for: Recreational and Professionals. Bet limits determined only by liquidity. 5Dimes SportsBook Review 5 DIMES 5Dimes is a sportsbook gem. It is a reliable super-solid sportsbook with superfast payouts, it caters for pro and recreational bettors alike AND it has arguably the best bonus scheme of any reputable sportsbook. The bonus structure and reduced odds on offer has made 5 Dimes one of the most popular offshore sportsbooks in the world. 5Dimes post their lines early and are well known for having a wide variety of betting options. They have more teaser options and more proposition options than any other sportsbook. They offer overnight nickel lines on MLB which are often the best odds available anywhere. They offer reduced juice on MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL. Payouts are fast. Founded in 1998 Based in Costa Rica Fully licensed and regulated Customer Service: Very good: 24 hours per day/ 7 days a week. E-mail Only. Betting Information: LIMITS: Minimum $1 bets/ maximum $500 ($5000 with approval) ODDS: Varies. Overnight MLB nickel lines. -105 style on American sports. SAFETY: A very safe sportsbook IASbet IASBET is a hidden gem. It is virtually a Canbet mirror site that is geared slightly more towards Australian customers. There are two differences between IASBET and Canbet – firstly there is a small difference in the odds – 1.934 at IAS V 1.94 at Canbet. This is compensated by the other difference which is a much more generous bonus structure. IAS BET offers bonus structures ranging from a $100 freebet on a $50 deposit to cash bonuses up to $1000. Collectively Australian sportsbooks are without doubt the safest in the world. IAS (International All Sports) is a registered company on the Australian Stock exchange in its own right. Your funds are very safe and payouts are usually same day. All US sports are covered. We have also noticed that for NBA spreads IASBet and Canbet are on average half a point kinder on the underdog team. IAS BET have a good bonus structure for Pros allowing up to $1000 in bonuses. Bonuses and Rebates: $100 freebet on initial deposits over $30 (this is exclusive to Sports-Bet-Win and players must turn over deposit once before using freebet and must turn over freebet win twice before withdrawing) OR 20% bonus on deposits over $150 (maximum bonus $200 – 3X rollover – must be achieved within 90 days) OR 15% bonus on deposits of $2000 or more (maximum $1000 – 4X rollover – must be achieved within 90 days) Withdrawal speed: very fast Centrebet SportsBook Review CENTREBET Centrebet has a multitude of betting options in many sports including live betting.

BetGuardian SportsBook Review Review
Bet Guardian is arguably the best sportsbook for North Americans looking for low juice on U.S sports. Bet Guardian belongs to the same sportsbook family as JustBet. The main difference is that Bet Guardian is a 1.95/-105 odds sportsbook. You get 15% cash bonus PLUS a 15% freeplay on initial deposits and the safety of this book is equal to Justbet which prides itself on its customer service and fast payouts.
BetGuardian will collar successful big pro bettors. Apart from this it is an all round solid sportsbook.

SPORTS INTERACTION
Sports Interaction is, in our opinion one of the most underated sportbooks. It was the firat online sportsbook licensed and regulated in North America. This sportsbook has had a clean record for many years now and appear determined to work their way up the sportsbook rankings.
Sports Interaction is on eof the few books that will tell you on their support page exactly how long it wil take to get a payout. Depending on the methos this will vary between 2 and 8 days. Not a book for pro gamblers as limite may be imposed but fast becoming a very safe and reliable book. Odds are standard and the betting platform is clean.

Sportingbet Australia is the Australian arm of Sportingbet PLC, the largest sportsbook franchise in the world which is UK based and listed on the UK Stock Exchange. It is a very well designed website – user friendly and we believe better than the other Sportingbet franchise sites. Odds vary from standard (1.91/-110) to 1.93 for Major League Baseball. We have found that their odds on baseball favorites are as good as Pinnacle/Betfair/5dimes and sometimes better. They are not so good for underdogs Sportingbet Australia has many betting options which are unique – particularly in soccer but also in other sports such as NBA where they offer a fixed +10.5 spread on every game. They are licensed in the most regulated gambling country in Australia and have the backing of the worlds largest franchise meaning your funds are safe. Payouts are reasonably fast. The only negative is that the Sportingbet franchises will collar successful professional bettors. They have an excellent $100 freeplay on deposits of as little as $30.

Credit Wagering is a new concept in sportsbooks. They will let you open an account on $1000 credit and gamble with their money. The catch is if you are more than $400 down by weeks end you have 4 days to repay your debt. For meeting the repayment date you will recieve a 15% bonus which carries no rollover requirement.
So you are thinking - great - use their money and walk away if I lose. Wrong! Credit Wagering has a hall of shame on their site listing (drivers license photos) all those who have defaulted on their payments. Those who never paid back the initial credit - 'The Scum' and those who won, withdrew and later defaulted "The Scum of the Earth'. Ammusing but not a website you want to get your picture on. This concept of credit is novel but also dangerous and it is not a surprise that in the gambling world there will be defaulters. Please use this sportsbook as a convenience and not simply as a means to borrow money to gamble. Sports-Bet-Win suggests that if you don't have the initial funds then do not gamble on credit funds.
The more you gamble the greater your line of credit becomes. The maximum wager initially is $100 but his increases proportionally to your line of credit.
Another great feature of this sportsbook is their pre-paid Visa card. After an initial $30 issue fee ALL deposits and withdrawals are fee free and easy.

SAFETY: Reasonable: Credit Wagering is a newer sportsbook working on a different concept. So far there has been no negative reports or problems. Caution should be exercised only because they are still relatively new. Sports-Bet-Win does not recommend having any more than a few thousand dollars in this account at any time.
Bonuses and rebates: 15% on timely settlement of moneys oweing. No rollover requirements.
Methods of Deposit / Transfer / Withdrawal: Multiple but their best method is the pre-paid Visa Card. $30 fee but all sbsequent withdrawals and deposits are free.
Withdrawal speed: Good.
