(1) PlayersOnly (Bonus: B-, Sportsbook: A-, Support: B) PlayersOnly, eGaming's "sexiest online sportsbook," is one of the most successful sportsbooks in the business. Its popularity and growth led it to become acquired by SportingBet PLC. Every Monday night, you can play the "Double Your Winnings Football Night" competition by correctly answering three trivia questions. PlayersOnly offers progressive parlays, so that, if, for instance, only 6 teams win in an 8 team parlay, you'll take down the bet. Each Saturday they will choose a football game where they will offer even odds (no juice!), so bet $100 to win $100. Lastly, if you are a hitter, you can obtain a PlayersOnly Pager by depositing over $2000. This pager will provide you with live lines for football, baseball, basketball and hockey and more!

(2) BetUS (Bonus: A+, Sportsbook: A-, Support: A) With a dozen years under its belt now, BetUS is recognized as one of the oldest and most respected sports betting companies. Similar to LinesMaker and Sportsbook.com, members of BetUS.com can wager on all major American sporting events, most European sports, as well as place political and pop culture-based propositions. Betting, and particularly parlay, options are slightly more limited than at Sportsbook.com, but comparable to LinesMaker's sportsbook. Relative to LinesMaker and Sportsbook.com, the sports betting software at BetUS is a little "clunky." However, this negative is more than made up for by the bonuses at BetUS, which are the best that you can find anywhere in the sports betting world.

(3) Bookmaker (Bonus: A-, Sportsbook: A+, Support: A) Bookmaker is a site favored by professional sports bettors. It is operated by BetCRIS, one of the most respected producers of sportsbook software and oddsmakers. Bookmaker's lines literally set the benchmark for the sports betting industry. Many other online sportsbooks simply copy Bookmaker's lines, recognizing BetCRIS's wealth of knowledge and experience in this industry. The site gets a relatively large number of high bets, often times in excess of $5,000 and at times very, very high indeed. It offers a great interface, nice stat section, a top bonus, and decent graphics. If you are a veteran sports bettor, you should feel right at home at Bookmaker. Another great site from the minds at BetCRIS!

(4) totesport (Bonus: A+, Sportsbook: B+, Support: B+) totesport has been in the gambling business for over 78 years. Although, historically, totesport was synonymous with superb horserace bets, today, it also offers one of the best sportsbooks (and casinos). recently, totesport launched a new betting platform that enables players to place bets online, by phone, and by text message through one account. Wagering options tend to focus on European sports, such as the Premiership, Champions League, League 2, and La Liga (totesport even covers the Conference North & South Divisions), although totesport is adding more international betting options everyday (for instance, you can now bet on UFC fights). Bettors can place "in play" bets on live televised matches on Sky Sports, Prem Plus, BBC, ITV, Channel 5 and selected matches on Setanta Sports. Lastly, totesport offers the best pari-mutuel wagering options on the net.

(5) BetOnline (Bonus: A-, Sportsbook: B+, Support: B+) In 2001, the BetOnline team started taking bets under the name BestLineSports.com in Costa Rica, marketing a discounted line bookmaking model that started at -108. In 2004, BetOnline moved to Panama where it started gaining traction as a top sportsbook. Last year, it purchased the BetOnline.com sportsbook and assuemd its new name. BetOnline is now agressively gaining market share using a two pronged strategy of top notch customer service and cutting edge incentives. BetOnline enables players to choose between two awesome promotion packages: the -105 plan - reduced juice on all bets, whicn should appeal to active sports bettors, or from a group of first-time deposit options, which is probably a better choice for amateur bettors. Best Sportsbook Cash Bonus Through This Review (Click Here for Free Money!): "Big Bonus" on deposits: 10% on $100-$299 (3x ro); 15% on $300-$499 (4x ro); 25% on $500-$999 (6x ro); 35% on $1,000-$1,999 (7x ro); or, 40% on $2,000+ (8x ro) 10% reload bonus on all deposits over $100 |

(6) The Greek (Bonus: B+, Sportsbook: B+, Support: B) Similar to Bookmaker.com, The Greek caters specifically to veteran sports bettors. The Greek has one of the widest varities of propositions and future bets of any online sportsbook. However, what sets the sportsbook apart is its reputation for nearly always being earliest sportsbook to set lines on events (if you are an experienced sports bettor, then you know that getting a chance to wager on early lines is extremely important to long-term success). The Greek has such a strong reputation for setting strong lines that several other sportsbooks have admitted to stealing the Greek's lines from time to time! Finally, the bonus at the Greek is above average, and payouts always occur within 24 hours (the Greek's motto is "Sweat the Game, not the Payout," which is more than just a slogan in their case). Best Sportsbook Cash Bonus Through This Review (Click Here for Free Money!): 21% first-time deposit bonus up to $250 with 4x rollover 11% re-up deposit bonus up to $250 per month with 4x rollover |
Rating: A+ |
(7) Sportsbook (Bonus: C+, Sportsbook: A, Support: A-) Sportsbook.com has the world's largest sports betting customer base, which enables the sportsbook to offer the widest variety of sports betting opportunities on the net. Sportsbook.com has a decent bonus package and solid referral bonuses. It caters to recreational players, while professional action is discouraged. The sportsbook software is extremely player friendly and has great graphics, as well as a variety of sports betting tutorials (figure out how to take advantage of advanced parlays and teasers) and in-depth sports statistics that are updated in real-time. If you are a recreational sports bettor, then we would encourage you to place your first bet at Sportsbook.com, because it is a great place to learn the ropes.

(8) SuperBook (Bonus: B, Sportsbook: B, Support: B+) SuperBook is a part of the Sportsbook.com family of sites. Sportsbook.com runs SuperBook as a distinct entity, because SuperBook retains an extremely loyal user base. From design to betting options to promotions, it caters to Americans. The motto of the site is "US Players Only" in defiance of the US Justice Department. You can place a wide variety of propositions and future bets on NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, as well as US college sports matches. Interestingly, SuperBook provides better sports betting bonuses than its parent company. For instance, it provides a 15% initial deposit bonus match up to $500 and a 5% re-load bonus match, as opposed to a 10% initial deposit bonus match and no re-load bonus match at Sportsbook.com. Best Sportsbook Cash Bonus Through This Review (Click Here for Free Money!): 15% first-time deposit bonus up to $500 5% re-load deposit bonus up to $500 Wide variety of seasonal betting promotions |
Rating: B- |
(9) Intertops (Bonus: C+, Software B, Support: B) The Intertops Sportsbook has been around since 1983 (and online for over eleven years), making it one of the oldest online sportsbooks. Intertops provides one of the widest varieties of betting options, which can make the site seem a little busy for the novice player. What do you expect of a site that enables players to wager on just about every conceivable sports/entertainment proposition? The betting process is a bit "clunky," in comparison to Sportsbook.com and Bookmaker.com, but the odds tend to be slightly more player friendly. Intertops offers a $20 free bet to all new customers. This means less of a bonus than other sites if your first deposit is huge, but by the same token, more of a bonus if you are planning on only depositing a little bit. Best Sportsbook Cash Bonus Through This Review (Click Here for Free Money!): Deposit at least $20 and receive a $20 bet free 10% reload bonus on Tuesdays/Thursdays up to $50 |

(10) SBG Global (Bonus: A, Software B-, Support: D) SBG Global's sportsbook provides a full range of sports betting options and an extensive number of betting types including straight bet, parlay, over/under, moneyline, and teasers. SBG Global is a fully licensed sportsbook, offering wagering options on all major US sporting events: football, basketball, baseball, hockey, golf, tennis, horse racing, auto racing, boxing, and soccer. SBG's software is a little bit outdated and the bonus is pretty standard; however, we still advocate placing some bets with them to take advantage of their three "no juice" games each week (college football, college basketball, and NBA) and $15,000 weekly NFL handicapping contest, both of which you cannot find elsewhere. Warning: Recently, there have been a few different reports in sports betting forums of SBG players who claim that they were scammed.
