The Betting Site

As sports gambling continues to move online, punters can spend all day looking for the best bettingsite. It would be nice to tell you the definitive answer, but truthfully there are advantages and disadvantages to having accounts with all of the major sports betting sites and it would be unfair to give an unqualified recommendation.

There are a few key points to check when choosing the betting site for your sports investment. First of all, you will want to get sense of how established this particular bettingsite may be. Anything that is only a few weeks old is either the next great thing or too small to offer all of the wagers wanted. Online sports betting sites that have a strong offline presence can provide more security and better backing for your wagers.

Regardless of which bettingsite you choose, check to see if it is licensed by the Gambling Commission. A number of the remote gambling sites have some questionable operating practices, and although they are being shut down or blocked as fast as possible, there is still the opportunity for you to find them before the Commission can get hold of them. Offline bookmakers gone online are again a good bet here for legitimacy.

Next, you will want to make sure you can easily add or remove funds from the account. Most established sports betting sites offer the ability to add funds by credit card, bank transfer, or cheque. Aim for the betting site where you can do withdrawals just as easily and readily check your balances. Are you limited to a fixed number of withdrawals per month? How many business days does it really take to process your withdrawal request? Be suspicious of anything unreasonable.

Finally, any bettingsite that doesn't verify your age and asks only a few identifying questions may also be flying by night. Online or off, the wagering age is 18, and the Gambling Commission requires all legitimate sites to make an effort to verify that punters are indeed of age regardless of the format. The betting site may require you to be 21. Either way, reading the fine print will be to your advantage when choosing your sports betting websites. As you and it hope to have a long and profitable relationship, why not choose wisely from the start?
