BetPhoenix Review

The online sports betting industry is one of the only areas in the world where being new is actually a bad thing. As the old saying goes it's guilty until proven innocent, and with new online sportsbooks this phrase couldn't hold more truth. Today we will be looking at one of the newest sportsbooks only being around for a couple of years, BetPhoenix.

  • Who Bets Here - BetPhoenix has a great customer base, as they have a good mix of casual and new bettors while at the same time they attract sharps. If BetPhoenix is a new sportsbook, don't tell them that, as there marketing approach is an old school technique of high bonus and low juice. As we previously mentioned they attract casual bettors and this is because of the high bonus structure, while the sharps come for the low juices.

The BetPhoenix website receives a ton of action and aside from the high bonus low juice structure they employ, BetPhoenix also covers all fees. Meaning to say, for bettors, who have accounts with Western Union, money gram, bank wire and credit cards, BetPhoenix will cover all of the service charge fees, these middle parties require customers to pay.

  • Customer Service - In an industry plagued by poor customer service, if you can establish yourself as a sports betting website that will always be there for a their customers, you have already won half the battle. With BetPhoenix, their customer service department is phenomenal.

Aside from your typical full year, 24 hour customer service department, BetPhoenix is one of a handful of sportsbooks which always takes responsibility. For instance, a few years back, the BetPhoenix website crashed due to a server change and as a result a lot of patrons were unable to place wagers. To apologize, all of the customers were given a free play option over the telephone.

 

BetEd Review

BetEd sportsbook is one of the youngest shops in the online betting industry. As a result of this, it automatically gets bad press from our colleagues. In the sports betting online industry, the motto is guilty until proven innocent. However, we are here today to outline a few reasons why BetEd is not as bad as some may think.

  • Who Bets Here - BetEd is strictly aimed at attracting casual and new bettors. Nevertheless, because it is new, and new always tends to have value, sharp bettors do come by to check out the excitement.

Now it should be noted, that BetEd is not one of those sportsbooks that has early lines, or low juice or a variety of parlays. Instead, it has decent lines, with a considerable juice and their enticing factor is to attract players via their props bets. As well, BetEd is one of a handful of sportsbooks which use Western Union, Money Gram and Bank Wire as a one stop shopping option for all of your deposit and withdrawing needs.

  • Customer Service - When you start off in the sports betting industry, building up your customer service will do wonders for attracting sharps in the long term. At BetEd their customer service department constantly ranks at a four and a half out of five stars on most all of our colleagues review sites.

However we should tell you that they have had their fair share of criticism in the past. Firstly, in 2009, after six years online, they had to transfer servers since their original one crashed. Since BetEd is strictly internet based, this caused a lot of issues for them.

Secondly, as we've noted throughout this review, BetEd is strictly a casual bettors shop. As this is the case, you will tend to hear about new bettors trying to pull a fast one on the shop. The issue BetEd had was that some bettors didn't want to follow their rules, and were unappreciative of having the rules enforced.

 

Bet365/Bowmans

When it comes to online sports betting, there are few sportsbooks that are better for live Bet365 is as good as it gets.

Overall, Bet365 is a top-notch sportsbook. We wouldn’t to mislead you into thinking that they are just a one-trick pony. Bet365 has plenty to offer; it’s just that their live-betting product is particularly good.

Live betting at Bet365 is as developed a product as you can find on the internet. For any given event – or at least the ones that they offer – they give you up to 50 different things you can bet on for the game.

It’s really worth visiting their site to test drive it yourself just to see how fantastic a product it is.

Beyond that, Bet365 leads the industry in customer service and they are really top notch. Beyond that, they are a British book that is a public company in the UK, which means they are very reliable and reputable.

It’s hard to find many faults with Bet365 other than the fact that their lines are a little soft. They have regular industry juice and sometimes they jack it up a little bit to increase their profit. To be honest, every sportsbook does that once in a while, though.

Beyond that, Bet365’s website, product and customer service is tough to beat. It is a well-recommended book.
