HELP & CUSTOMER SERVICE AT GAMEBOOKERS
EASE TO FIND & PLACE A BET (Web Design)
Gamebookers online sportsbook web site is sleek and simple to use. Odds, betting markets and information are easy to find. Gamebookers easily passed our "less than 4 clicks to bet" testing. The Gamebookers "watchlist" single click bet process is great, their initial registration process is easy and BookieLabRat.com considers Gamebookers one of the bookmaking industry's innovators. As examples of this they were the first to allow customers to sell their bets back to the house, have a great person-to-person (P2P) bet exchange option and were early to offer free SMS Text results services.
BETTING COVERAGE AT GAMEBOOKERS
GAMEBOOKERS JOIN BONUSES & PUNTER PROMOTIONS
Gamebookers joining bonus gives all new punters up to €50 free as a 25% first deposit match. Sounds good to me... especially if you're looking to add to your bookie options to maximise your chances of getting best odds. Earn GBPoints on every bet at Gamebookers. Trade them for cash or merchandise. You need 100 Points to be able to withdraw after you've claimed the €50 bonus. Gamebookers run other punter promotions from time to time generally based on a specific tournament or game outcome (eg the now legendary Free Premier League team shirt or World Cup team shirt giveaways...)
FIXED ODDS AT GAMEBOOKERS BOOKMAKER
Gamebookers are consistently in the top 5% of bookmakers for good value fixed price odds and regularly offer "best odds" or "best equal odds" on key fixtures (especially when betting on long shots or outsiders 4.00 or greater). This is based on 2005/2006 and 2006/2007 season odds analysis performed by BookieLabrat.com across all 205 bookmakers. The extensive event and fixture coverage at Gamebookers also means you can bet effectively on games that many bookmakers just do not cover or cover only as non-standard bets & with poor odds.
NOTE: BookieLabRat.com tested 205 online bookmakers & 10 betting exchanges this quarter and failed 92% of them. Gamebookers passed with a credible 78 out of a possible 100 points.
This review is not the formal analysis, just a high level summary of the key aspects we like and don't like about Gamebookers.
