    Roxy would never say that to me in person because he knows I would pound him

    BWIN seems well put together as far as website

    Bwin's website isn't great, it often jams up when I click to place a bet.
    Other then that they are good.

    it is often accused of closing winner accounts with no money return, as far as i read. The explanation they provide is participation in fixed events.

    Rec book, bad cs but they have nice stuff to get with points. One of the few (if not the only one) with poker android app. They make a lot of money so I don't think they would bother stiffing anyone.

    I agree. I think bwin And b365 are the biggest eu rec books considering customers and profits.

    Outside uk I think bwin are kings in europe. I think they make the biggest profits and they probably have the most customers as they are main sponsor for real madrid and that makes a hell of an advertising campaign in champions league not to mention la liga.

    Big good business. But a rec book.

    I played with them some years back.

    They are good if you want a soccer book.

    They suck in American sports and basketball IMO. No point buying and also sometimes I wouldn't even find NCAA games. Also I don't remember them having WNBA.

    Their sign up bonus is a joke compared to others who give you a 100% bonus for up to 100euros.

    Their site and page layout is not very friendly. For example at bet365 if you choose NBA game lines you'll get the spread, total and moneyline in table form on the same page.
    At bwin you have to go off the main page with the games and navigate to the added bets section for each game separately to view the same things which is a waste of time.

    They also didn't give me my sign up bonus (which was only 20 euros) back then. The deal was that if you signed up and introduced a friend you would get the bonus. I did that and they didn't send it. When I contacted them they told me that I hadn't pressed on the right link. Yeah right. I'm not a first time internet user and I was careful to do everything right. After complaining they gave me only 10 euros...

    When I stopped using them they also deleted my points I had accumulated.

    I went to bet365 and I think they are the best euro book. (Pinny of course is up there, but they don't offer a sign up bonus just a little bit better odds). I've heard of some people having problems, but I haven't had any so far apart from the fact that they asked me to verify my identity more than once.
    They have a very large variety of live games available too. Nothing compared to the others.
    They also give me monthly free loyalty bonuses. I stopped using them last summer and at the end of August they came back with a 100% bonus offer.

    Vreston I think the points expire automatically. There is an option in the market to extend their valability I think it's called points saver if I remember correctly. I haven't bet there for a while.

    they are reliable and the will pay you for sure.
    they have widest offer of minor sports and leagues perhaps
    if you win they will limit you to 2 figures bets quickly
    their CS sucked when I played there couple of years ago, long reponse time etc. I don't know if it changed

    i had no problems ever at bwin. sometimes you can get good value for obscure events, which are not quoted elsewhere. be prepared that they might cancel the bet but usually they dont.

    despite daily withdrawals i passed 5 figures there but still wasnt limited. finally got limited and departed, but have good memories...

    Well some pros and cons

    I am sure a solid book for $100 and under type bettors that do not bet weak lines

    Not a good American Live Betting book though

    They have decent odds now and then if you use odds comparison sites.
    Pay quickly.
    But low limits from day 1 for me.

    - Bad costumer service . They need 1 week to reply to your e-mails.
    - Winners are not welcomed . If you are a winner , your account will be closed after maximum 3 months . They
    re-open it , but limiting to you . At least ,they pay .
    - They cancel bets after the match has ended . They do it whatever they want . Happened to me 4 times during one year ,even they were "in - play " not pre-match.
    - Terrible odds .

    Could somebody explain how is possible that people keep using this shit bookie ? There are much better options, 365bet,pinnacle,188bet,SBObet
