BetOnline 8 / 10

“BetOnline – Bonus, Mobile app and Website Info”

BetOnline is a type of operator which we usually call US bookmaker or American sportsbook. This is because it mostly focuses on customers from the USA. The history of this bookmaker is long and complicated, which is a standard thing for US betting companies. Betonline’s predecessor was founded in 1991 and had been accepting bets via phone for 10 years. Bookmaker went online in 2001 and was called BetLineSports at first. They relocated to Panama in 2004 and started to work under local jurisdiction. Two years later a UIGEA was implemented, but the bookmaker had already operated as an offshore subject.

As of now, Betonline remains one of the most popular online bookmakers among the players in North America. But in recent times, the bookmaker gained many customers from other regions too.

From the first visit of the Betonline website (BetOnline.ag), you feel that it’s a US bookmaker. The layout with a huge font and American footballer on the back looks so typical. The default odds format is also American, which is never the case with European bookmakers. The website is very easy to navigate and looks clean, so the response is very fast. The design doesn’t look modern, but it’s adaptive and comfortable even for mobile betting. There are also some additional features like Stat center, RSS feed. You can contact customer support via chat (24/7), phone or email. The FAQ section is there too.

The Betonline’s coverage is inferior to European bookmakers but has some gems. The focus, as you’d expect, is on US sports, golf, tennis, soccer. Overall they cover around 15 sports, which is not a big number. But the depth is there actually. You can bet here on more than 50 leagues in soccer, on ITF events, some exotic basketball matches. The list of selections isn’t short either, as the bookmaker adds markets like intervals. And they have the “PLAYER PROPS” section with special bets on players’ performance. You can even build your own market here. The non-sporting offers are existing too (Politics, Entertainment).

The live betting section has a MultiView and Event view, as well as the calendar. The In-Play isn’t that massive when it comes to the sheer numbers. It’s more about really interesting matches and tournaments. So, they rarely add more than 200 events per day. But all US sports, main events in soccer, ice hockey, basketball, and tennis are covered.

It’s not that easy to find some juicy odds on BetOnline. The standard margin is 5%, but even for NFL/NBA/NHL/MLB, the bookie can set a 1.86-1.86 for evens, which is not that generous. Hours prior to the start, the margin could drop to 2,5-3,5%. So, it’s better to stick to a late betting. At least the limits are pretty high: you can bet up to 5000$.

The bookmaker’s only currency is the US dollar. At the same time, punters can transfer money via cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Dash). BetOnline supports and more traditional payment methods like credit/debit cards, wire transfers, Skrill, Neteller, checks. But VISA/Mastercard is only available for deposits, and e-wallets are not available for US customers.

In their BetOnline reviews, punters are mostly positive towards the bookmaker. This is a good choice for US bettors and even some high rollers too. The bookmaker has a good reputation, despite questionable jurisdiction (Panama). Players rarely have issues with withdrawals or void bets. The bookie might be also interesting for the fans of bonuses. It offers free bets, reload-bonuses, refer a friend promotion and contests with a big prize pool (25-100k $).
