Australian books

**bigboydan** · 10-15-08, 01:00 PM

sportsbetting.au : Is owned and operated by Hamish Davidson Gaming and are licensed in South Whales. I know they only offer like 4 or 5 different currency options, which kind of sucks for some players. I don't know of any slow pays or complaints about them or couldn't tell you the restrictions they might put on people.

SportsAcumen: I believe they are part of the same family as GlobalSportsBet. Also, they both use the WagerPlayer software. The one thing I do recall about this establishment is that SportsAcumen doesn't offer Neteller, while GlobalSportsBet does.

Thanks for the info. Concerning the currency options at least both offer Euro different than many other 'famous' books like WSEX, Matchbook, Betjamaica, Betphoenix, Caribsports...

By the way Sportsacumen offers Neteller. The thing I am not sure about both books is if they are reliable, so that one can risk to place bigger bets with them (I don't find them in the rating list).

Those books not offering other currencies than USD is annoying Kiwi, but i just use a pool of dollars and move them between them at no cost with book-to-book transfers, they are too good to pass up if you play US sports.

I don't worry about Australian books, they have bonds posted, and government backing beyond that.

Do they offer GBP.?

Acumen do, not sure about Davidson.

(But, they will bill you in Australian Dollars, so make sure you use something like the Nationwide Flex)

I had one withdrawal a few months back from Acumen, bout $1200 no problem.

They do offer neteller, but it's really expensive for me - they convert from their AU$ to US$ on withdrawal, incurring neteller's 2.75% currency conversion charge, and then neteller will hit you with another for converting to your currency. Makes it really expensive.

NP Kiwi

I would assume that these two book are safe considering they are Aussie books. As far as Sportsacumen accepting Neteller nowadays goes, do you know when that changed. Because I remember they didn't for a long time.

I do know that you are allowed to have 1 account with both [SBRFORUM]Sportsacumen[/SBRFORUM] & [SBRFORUM]GlobalSportsBet[/SBRFORUM] (in fact read that somewhere today actually).
