Lesser known, reliable bookmakers.

[Mouscron]

Hello, I'm fairly new here, but thought I'd signup after browsing the forum for a while.

I only seem to find "negative" threads here concerning the different bookmakers (Which is understandable given SBR's function), but I thought I'd make a different one.

I love signing up at new bookies (If they don't cause trouble) and especially finding bookies with a decent sign-up bonus, which is a great bankroll booster for someone like me who isn't a high-roller.

But, trouble is I've already 'raided' the popular bookies and I'm a bit afraid to signup at the bookies where there's little to none info to be found.

So I was simply wondering, if any of you bettors out there know of any bookies that aren't that well known but you've had a good experience with (Or at least not a bad one) and if they have a bonus that's only a plus.

OPS: As aforementioned I'm fairly new, so if this sort of thread isn't allowed (For whatever reason) or if it's in the wrong section, I apologise.

If it helps these are the bookies I've already signed up at:
Bet365
Interwetten
Betsafe
Ladbrokes
10bet
Tipico
Cashpoint
Marathonbet
5Dimes
Tonybet
Dafabet
Nordicbet
Unibet
Pinnacle
Vitalbet
SBOBET
18bet
1xBet
Betfair
Mybet (Currently rolling over bonus)
Betmotion (Currently rolling over bonus)

You have heaps to go still

Try the sportsbook ratings page and use the filters on the left side of the page to drill down.

If you pick books with a C+ rating or better you are usually going to be safe.

There is also a bonus list that helps compare offerings in an apples for apples way here: http://www.sportsbookreview.com/betting-sites/bonuses/

Thank you, I had not seen the first link you sent.

I had seen the second and the problem is most of the top rated bookies have large bonuses and I don't have a bankroll big enough to justify depositing massive funds into a single bookie where they'll be locked until bonus is played through (And I don't wanna 'waste' a good bookie by taking anything lower than max bonus). And some of them I'm restricted from playing in due to my location (Probably 30-40% of the bookies in 2nd link).

But thank you for the link(s), there are definitely some exciting bookmakers that I have to check out. But if people have other bookies that aren't listed there that are still safe I'd love to know, but I assume almost all 'legit' bookies are.

The first link has a filter by countries accepted that might help.

Thanks, but even with the filter there are still bookies that don't accept Danish players, yet they still show. Also, some of the bookies (A lot actually) that accept Danish players don't have a bonus that's valid for my country.
And there's always loads of rules like many of them not accepting players under 21 (I'm 20) which is a bit odd since legal betting age in Denmark is 18, so that should be all that matters and then some places Skrill isn't even accepted if you want bonus.

But I am going through them and have found a few to add to my list .

I also see that Mybet has a poor rating on here, I took bonus there and have won a decent amount (At 450€ now, started with 160 including bonus), I hope that they will not cause trouble when I want to withdraw. Fortunately, I've been lucky with bookies so far and haven't had problems except with old bookie (And my first online) that was called Bet2be, they took months before they paid.

And thanks for support, it's nice to receive a warm (And helpful) welcome to a new site .

Why the fuk would anybody need 20something books? Heritage and 5ds serve all my needs.

The more books the better. Ensures you can always catch the highest odds which can often be the difference between being profitable or being a losing player. I'm limited in: Interwetten, Betsafe, Ladbrokes, Cashpoint, Tonybet, Marathonbet, Nordicbet, Unibet and 1xBet, but because I'm not a high-roller I can still get close to my normal stake through and if you constantly chase the highest odds you will have a better ROI long term (Should be fairly obvious). Not to mention I've probably added at least 2000-2500€ to my bankroll by taking the bonuses the different places and if their limits aren't too severe I often keep them in my portfolio. I started with less than a thousand bucks when I went online and I have just built my way up from there.

If you would not mind emailing the names to help@sportsbookreview.com it would be appreciated

You already have a few on your list that we have seen complaints about from time to time, so make sure you factor in the risk of losing a deposit some time as you reach further down the rabbit hole for new books.

Make sure you read bonus terms carefully too. As you get lower down some are going to have things like no arbitrage allowed and weird bet size limits based on deposit amount that can be exceeded but will be penalized for only at cashout time.

Yes, I will try to get that done tomorrow .

And I always read both full bonus terms and the sites ToC. I don't want them to pull up some random rule to justify something, so I'm paying attention and I usually talk to support for a bit before signing up to get a 'vibe' of the site.

Bettrojan. They will collar you but they always pay.

Thank you. Just a shame they don't offer any bonus (As far as I can see).

[Optional]

A current complaint is open with Bettrojan right now.

Can't vouch for them but seen newish book Ironbet offering a good bonus and has received an initial B rating, suggesting they must be pretty solid.

Ironbet.. Well, that's another one to add, to the list of bookies that don't accept Danish players. There'll probably be another 5-10 once I've gone through the list in detail.

Wonder what it is about you Danes that makes books not want you.

Wonder what it is about you Danes that makes books not want you.

Because we're such skilled bettors . Nah, it's because we have some very odd laws in Denmark where gambling companies have to apply for a license, to offer sportsbook/casino. Bookmakers are actually allowed to accept Danish customers as long as they don't directly appeal to them (Danish language on site, ads in danish forums/newspapers, etc), but it seems a lot of bookies either misunderstand the rule and think it completely excludes them from offering their products to Danes or perhaps they just can't be bothered trying to work out our maze of laws within gambling.

But it is quite annoying how many places won't accept us. Pinny recently closed for Danish customers as well and there have been speculation on Danish betting sites that they were put under pressure from our government.

There are fewer and fewer books accept Danish players and at the same time, there are only about 10 licensed bookies in Denmark (All toy bookies, that limit fast). And these laws came to "protect" the player... At least that's what our government is telling us .
