OTHER BETS AT GLOBET
Globet offers a range on in-play betting options and you can follow all matches covered live via the globetscore.com web site. A good selection of bet types is usually available on most events or fixtures. (1, X, X/2, total goals in a match, total goals in a fixture) Bets on NBA, NHL and NFL matches can be combined, A1 Basketball and A1 Volleyball matches can also be combined. We also enjoy a flutter at the newly launched Globet Casino. Fast classic Blackjack and 100 casino games.
Despite recent enhancements to accomodate the online casino and gaming side of their business and add some 'glamour' entry screens the Globet sportsbook web site is functional but is quite clunky to use compared to some of the more recent online bookmaker sites. Globet is obviously a first generation web bookie. That said it is reasonably quick to find specific betting information, place bets, gain updates on outcomes and manage your account.
New customers at Globet online sportsbook get a €20 free bet. Globet don't run many bonuses or punter rewards so this is a special BookieLabRat.com offer. Globet will 100% match your first bet placed to €20. Your first bet has to be on odds of 2.00 or greater & the bonus has to be bet at least once with total odds of 2.00 or greater before you can withdraw it. NOTE: Depositors who use Moneybookers, Neteller or EcoCard are unfortunately not eligible for this bonus offer.
NOTE: Globet do not accept wagers or bets from US, Canada or any jurisdiction where gaming is illegal.

GLOBET BOOKMAKER - OVERALL RATING
Globet is a rock solid, reliable European bookmaker well worth keeping an eye on for odds. Globet is a great bookie option if English is not your preferred language and a wider range of payment methods are accepted at Globet than many UK bookies. Globet is well worth adding to the set of bookies you use regularly to maximise your profits.
