Comments:
BetJamaica, part of the TheGreek Sports Group, is an excellent choice for players who are looking for the industry’s strongest combination of bookmaking and professional management. With the solid backing of TheGreek, BetJamaica offers an unique lineset, not a clone of its parent company. This operation excels by offering attractive bonuses, reduced juice specials, superior customer service and solid lines.

BetJamaica is widely praised by players for its extremely high customer service standards, which deliver a personalized experience that is supported by one of the most experienced management groups in the industry. Fast, no hassle payouts and a variety of banking options have quickly become a hallmark of BetJamaica. During a time when many sportsbooks are going through changes and struggle to keep up with a fast evolving industry, BetJamaica continues to pay promptly and improve its product each year as it has since launching in 2003.

This sportsbook has customized its ASI-powered wagering software to deliver players a well-organized, efficient and, most important, easy to use betting interface. Players will find a website rich with content including an extensive sports handicapping database. Continued innovation results in numerous new features being added to the website on a regular basis. Among the new features introduced as of the summer of 2008 are alternate run lines and five inning baseball lines.
