BetCRIS Sportsbook - SECURITY & REPUTATION
Costa Rica International Sports (CRIS) trades online as BetCRIS.com. BetCRIS launched the world's first offshore sportsbook in the Dominican Republic in 1985. In 1993 BetCRIS relocated to Costa Rica and added a virtual casino & online multi-player poker room to their sports betting services.
Bonded and fully licensed by the government of Costa Rica, BetCRIS is highly popular and a recognized sports betting industry leader.
Web site security is high: SSL encryption. There is a huge emphasis at BetCRIS on client confidentiality as they service a wide range of "celebrities", from sports professionals and movie stars to top business people who love to gamble - but not pay taxes or answer questions on their bets!

A solid 10 years+ reputation for playing fair and paying out. Great for high rollers and VIP punters wanting a confidential tax free betting service
BetCRIS Sportsbook - WHAT's NOT
Fairly US sports focused - odds not as sharp as our top tier sportsbooks. No longer accepting US bettors directly (check out Bookmaker.com review)
