    Reviews of lesser known sportsbooks.

    Originally posted on 05/14/2016:

    Since I like to find new bookies (Especially if they have a good bonus) I thought I'd start writing minor reviews on them, at first it probably won't be that unknown sportsbooks, but as I progress and get further down the list there will be less popular bookmakers.

    I hope this will help people looking for info on the specific bookies, because I feel when I've been searching for some of the less popular bookies there just hasn't been that much info.

    At the moment, I've mainly signed up at the larger bookmakers so I don't feel there's much to add that people probably don't already know - But I will add a short comment to each of them.

    I also have a few books where I haven't completed rollover, so I will give a more elaborate update on them, when I've requested my first withdrawal.

    And feel free to add your own review if you have a played at a sportsbook that perhaps isn't so well known, always nice to get additional info on them.

    Also, these ratings are based on my subjective needs. I rate them after how well they fit me.

    Any questions/comments are welcome.

    OBS: When I talk of my "normal" stake it's a max of 60€. Withdrawal is done to my Skrill.

    Bookmakers I've joined so far:

    (Rating from 0-5)

    Bet365: Bountiful in livebetting, possibly the bookie with the most markets, fast payouts, still receive bonuses, despite being profitable. I've heard of limits for highrollers, but for me it's a 5/5.



    Interwetten: Quick limits was limited within the first 25 bets, I can get normal stake through on medium/big markets, but rarely above 10€ on smaller markets. Payout received within 24 hours verification process had minor bumps but nothing insane. You can often catch Interwetten with "wrong" odds and they are slow at slashing. 2.5/5.



    Betsafe: Decent odds, but far too fast with limits had less than 150€ in profit when limits stuck which made Betsafe pretty much unplayable limiting me down to less than 1€ in most markets. Payout was fast (Don't remember exactly how long), no problems in general but it's no place for anyone making anything off of their betting. 1.5/5.



    Ladbrokes: Now restricted but still managed to have this bookie for ½ a year or so. Limits struck but it took a while and often I could still get my normal stake through. Like Interwetten they often had "wrong" odds. Payout worked smoothly. 3/5.




    10bet: Doesn't limit as easy as many of the other bookies and I'm yet to be limited. Good odds and many markets. Payout time was satisfactory and verification wasn't too much trouble. 4/5.




    Tipico: Odds are decent, doesn't limit superfast, but I was limited eventually, but I can often get my normal stake through only on small markets I'm sometimes limited to 20€. Smooth and acceptable time frame for payout). 2.5/5.




    Cashpoint: Haven't used this bookie much, did payout once and was no major problems, although I don't remember how long payout took to arrive, decent odds and decent markets, but for some reason this bookie just doesn't 'catch' me. 2/5.




    Marathonbet: Currently restricted in my country but had a user for a year until. I've often heard that Marathonbet is the worst bookmaker limit wise, but I have to disagree. There were limits for me on smaller markets down to 10€ quite fast, but medium/bigger markets often had 100-400€ limit (Which is fine for me), they offer great odds and are bad at slashing. I did eventually get completely limited to 1€ for all bets, but it took a lot longer than most bookies I've mentioned on here. And I didn't even have to send verification to receive payout and fastest payout I've experienced often arriving within 15min. Good bankroll booster until they limit you and probably not worth the effort for highrollers. 3.5/5.




    5Dimes: Haven't used them much after they removed Skrill as an option but they have terrific odds and it's been a good bookie for me not imposing limits of any kind. Bit bad that there aren't more currencies, depositing ate up a lot of profit because of Skrill currency conversion fee and their markets are limited with a clear focus on US players. 3.5/5.




    Tonybet: Way too fast with limits happened within 10 bets, now I'm limited to less than 15€ in almost all markets. Payout wasn't exactly smooth. 1/5.




    Dafabet: Great odds, no hassle with payout, but again not my currency, so haven't used it much. 3.5/5




    Nordicbet: Betsafe's “sister”, just as bad at imposing limits. Reliable payouts. 1.5/5.




    Unibet: Good odds, many markets. Fairly quick at imposing limits but not as bad as others nor as fast. At livebet it's rare I get more through than 20€ on a bet, but prematch I can often get normal stake through or very close. 3/5.




    Pinnacle: Now limited in my country but one of my first bookies. Fantastic odds, fast payout, no hassle, impeccable limits. Only complaint is lack of markets, but you can't have everything. 4.5/5.




    Vitalbet: Took signup (50€) but lost it unfortunately. Deposited again but haven't withdrawn yet. Odds are good and site seems reliable, but I'll hold off on a rating until I've withdrawn some funds.




    SBOBET: Also a classical one most people know. Fantastic odds, limits are more than enough and reliable payout. 4.5/5.




    18bet: Currently rolling over bonus, but had trouble here almost before I started and so far they have not left a great impression. Odds are great though and there's plenty of markets. Will hold off on rating until payout.




    1xBet: Limit within 10 bets (1xbet has a unique kind of limit where they don't impose a maximum stake, but instead reduce odds by 10% or so). Minor bumps with payout but nothing special. Great odds, but limits way too fast unfortunately. 2/5.




    Betfair (Sportsbook): Just signed up, no rating or further info yet.




    Mybet (Currently rolling over bonus): Like Interwetten and Ladbrokes they often have odds where you can catch them on the wrong foot. Markets are of an acceptable number but I'm already limited before playing through bonus (But in their defense it's like all my won bets past 2 weeks have been at Mybet, lol). Not finished rollover on bonus so no payout yet, will give a rating, after I have withdrawn.




    Betmotion (Currently rolling over bonus): Terrible odds, but occasionally they 'stick out'. They offer odds on a good amount of events and I'm not yet limited, but I haven't placed many bets either. Rating later.


    That's it for now. If you have an experience with a lesser known sportsbook (Bad or good), I'd love to hear. I will keep posting as I go further "Further down the rabbit hole" (To quote Optional).

    I apologize for any mistakes, English is not my native language.

    Thanks! Unfortunately, few of them take U.S. players. Do you have a list of those that do?

    Thanks!
