    Russian based bookmakers

    I love to play at Russian (or Soviet based) bookmakers as they have their specific betting offers. I have experience with:

    Fonbet: many live bets, secure payouts
    Marathonbet/Panbet: low juice odds, fast payouts (maybe something changed now), but very low limits for most of sports/competitions
    Betcity: they don't accept Moneybookers so I haven't been there but I saw very nice betting offer (don't know about limits and payouts)
    Olimp: Kazakhstan based bookie, offer very similar to Marathon, but fast limits and very slow payment, customer support very bad
    Vivarobet: Armenian bookie, nice betting offer where they had some nice odds in the past, but now they monitor market quite well, payouts were fast, very poor live in-play although many games are covered with live betting, very good customer service but they don't speak English very well
    Parimatch: Haven't played there, from what I saw pre-match offer is poor. If someone play there can they say how good is live betting. Is it good as Fonbet? Delay, limits? And how about payouts and security od Parimatch?
    Outcomebet: I think this is Russian bookmaker, I have account there with small deposit just to see what kind of bookie is that. I think it's a complete shit, someone correct me if I am wrong

    If you know for some other Russian bookmakers please share your experience.

    Betcity accepts moneybookers now. I'm tempted to try them, but they don't seem to hold license of any kinds, so I'm bit sceptical about their safety.

    I have read that Betcity is giant in Russia, only few bookmakers left in Russia because of new license policy. Again, someone correct me if I am wrong.

    The only one I've ever played at is Fonbet.

    Paid fast but similar to all Euro books limited to betting in peanuts.

    Yet to try them online, but i have only positive experiences in local with them. Serbia is one of countries where they have local shops. Limits and max pay-out much better than in other local, solid odds and amazing offer. No sport or league that is not offered plus all that with many additional lines.

    Betcity has some stupid rule that you can't withdraw until 72 hours after deposit. I would like to try their live betting, maybe not so fast in changing odds. Other experiences? Seems to me that very little of you play at Russian sportsbooks.

    It maybe seems that betcity dont change odds fast at live betting but when you want to bet they change odds 1-2 sec after point finnish even on screen it look like 10 second delay.
