Sportingbet is a British online gambling operator, owned by GVC Holdings plc. The company was listed on the London Stock Exchange and was a constituent of the FTSE SmallCap Index prior to its acquisition by GVC.

History[edit]

The Company was founded by Mark Blandford in 1997.^[2] Sportingbet acquired Paradise Poker in October 2004.^[3] On 7 September 2006 SportingBet reported that its then chairman, Peter Dicks, was detained in New York City on a Louisiana warrant while traveling in the United States on business unrelated to online gambling.^[4] Louisiana is one of the few states that has a specific law prohibiting gambling online. In March 2007, all Louisiana warrants involving the company were cancelled.^[5]

In October 2006, Sportingbet announced Paradise Poker would stop taking deposits from US customers, although most would be allowed to continue to play for another month.^[6] Additionally, Sportingbet sold all its US-facing sports betting and casino businesses, including Sportsbook.com and Sports.com, to a group of private investors for $1, and an assumption of $13.2 million in debts.^[7]

In February 2007, Sportingbet announced it was eliminating its Paradise Poker software and migrating players from there to its Sportingbet Poker platform. Prior to this, the two platforms had approximately the same number of players, but the Sportingbet platform had higher liquidity because that platform was part of a larger network. The brand name of Paradise Poker was retained.^[8]

In 2008, Netbet (Pty) Ltd, a company in South Africa, licensed the Sportingbet brand for online gambling in South Africa.

In October 2012, Sportingbet announced its board had agreed to preliminary terms for a £530 million takeover bid from UK bookmaker William Hill and Isle of Man-based GVC Holdings.^[9] Under the terms, Sportingbet's Australian and Spanish operations were bought by William Hill.^[10]

Operations[edit]

Sportingbet operates local-focused sportsbooks, virtual games and casino sites, and the online poker cardroom, Paradise Poker. Overall, the company has over 2.5 million registered customers in 200 countries, who place over one million bets (casino, poker, sports and virtual games) per day.

Sportingbet operates several websites. The largest of these are wholly owned and operated by Sportingbet. They also use a system similar to a franchise, in which independent website operators use Sportingbet's centralized software, financial services, trading, and customer service under license. These web sites receive a cut of the profits their customers generate.

Sportingbet's corporate offices are located in Guernsey. They also have offices and call centres in the Republic of Ireland and Costa Rica. The PLC is located in Moorgate, London.

Sponsorship[edit]

The company sponsored Premier League, Championship and League One football team Wolverhampton Wanderers from the 2009–10 season until the 2013-14 season.^[11] This link-up with a football club first began in January 2009, when Bulgarian football club Slavia Sofia announced a 3-year sponsoring deal. As a result, the logo of the company will appear on the club's shirts for the 2008–09, 2009–10 and 2010–11 seasons of the Bulgarian A PFG. Sportingbet will also sponsor Steaua Bucuresti of Romania for the 2009–10 and 2010–11 season. Their logo will also appear on Steaua Bucuresti II, Steaua's reserve team's shirt, which now plays in Liga. Sportingbet have also sponsored division 1 Victorian amateur football team Banyule FC for the 2010–2011 seasons.^[12]

SportingBet Casino Review

The Casino Gorilla is always a little bit wary when an established sports betting site tries to turn its hand to casino gaming. It’s like those plantain bananas from South America, looks like the real thing but it’s never quite the same. However, Sportingbet Casino have a pretty good rep in the industry, and the big hairy guy is nothing if not open-minded. Some people will try and tell you that your average gorilla has got the patience of a mosquito and the brain-power to match, but anyone who saw the Gorilla Casino in action would soon change their tune.

• Good Reputation
• Loyalty Programme
• Nice Mix Of Game Providers
• Superb Live Dealer Casino

• Limited Period To Complete Wagering Of Bonus
• Terms Of Bonus Not Easy To Access

Sportingbet Casino Bonus

There is nothing complicated about the welcome bonus on offer from Sportingbet Casino, and sometimes that can be a good thing. The offer varies according to your country of residence, but UK players can:

• take advantage of a bonus and enjoy 50 Free Spins on our Starburst

All you need to do is register to Sportingbet and make your first deposit of a minimum £10. The wagering requirement is zero times – not too bad.

• Deposit £10 – £100
• 50 Free spins
• Wagering requirement x0 on free spins
• Deposits made via Skrill and Neteller do not qualify for the bonus
• Free Spins must be used within 7 days

Free Spins

Sign up with Sportingbet Casino and you will earn yourself 50 free spins on a popular Starburst slot game. There is a wagering requirement of 0x any winnings you make from these spins.

The bonus terms here at Sportingbet Casino are very fair and generous. These Starburst free spins don’t have any wagering requirements or hidden terms attached. The Gorilla is very impressed. This means all you win from these free spins is yours to keep.

Bonus Code

No Bonus Code will be required in order for you to claim your welcome bonus. However, note that the bonus available to you will differ according to your country of residence. For example some countries will only be offered the 50 free spins, and others will not get a bonus. We would love to give you more details, but the Casino Gorilla’s beady eyes just aren’t sharp enough to scan through the mountains of small print in the terms and conditions, and the bonus T&Cs are really not displayed well.

Slot Games

Casinos are all about those slot games, at the end of the day. These are the real money-makers, both for land based and online casinos alike. With that in mind, Sportingbet have gathered an array of titles from some of the best developers out there. The list of providers includes NetEnt, Microgaming, and Playtech- and it’s not all that common to see the three biggest names in the industry in one place. Now the games on offer are not all new releases, but you do still get a good variety of different games to try out, including the following:

• Starburst
• Book of Ra 6
• The Chase
• Vikings Go Wild
• King Kong Fury

Live Games

Want to stay afloat in the choppy waters of the online casino industry? Then you had better make sure that you are offering a live casino option, or you will lose out on a lot of business. No issues in this regard, as the Casino Gorilla had to be enticed away from the 30 live dealer tables on offer for players here. That means that apart from numerous versions of roulette and blackjack, you have got baccarat, Texas hold ‘em, three card poker and stud poker. It is a great selection which even features live streaming games from the famous Dragonara Casino in the Mediterranean island of Malta.

Mobile Gaming

There are easy to use apps for both iOS and Android devices which allow you to download the Sportingbet Casino to your phone. Play slots, live dealer casino, classic table games and jackpots no matter where you are. If you prefer to save space on your phone or tablet, you can just use your browser to access the Sportingbet site via the url. Either way you can enjoy fantastic gaming action without losing out on quality and excitement. No matter what type of smartphone or tablet you own you should have no trouble accessing this site to play on the go.

Transactions

There are more than enough payment methods here to make deposits and withdrawals go smoothly. Don’t forget to verify your account before making your first withdrawal, as they will need to confirm your information as a regulatory requirement of the UK Gambling Commission. You can choose from:

• Bank wire transfers (the slowest option)
• Debit/credit cards (the most popular)
• E-wallets (the speediest) as all are available here
• Plus there’s ukash and Paysafecard if you need more alternatives.
  

Security and Fairness

A UK Gambling licence is one that gives players a sense of confidence, as this is one regulator that doesn’t allow any messing about. The site is also certified by eCogra, which means that the games have been checked and found to be fair and above board. The site uses encrypted software to keep player details safe – any casino knows that a breach of such data hurts their business, so they will make sure to use the latest tech to prevent this. We are not crazy about the lack of clarity in the terms and conditions, but in terms of security there are no issues with Sportingbet Casino.

Support

The Customer Support team receives generally positive reports from customers. You have the choice to get in touch via live chat or email, or by telephone if you prefer. Note that customer support is only available for 12 hours per day, from 9AM to 9PM, seven days a week. It’s about half of the support that the biggest casinos provide, but when you do get in touch the quality of the operators is certainly good. The FAQ section will hopefully be able to answer some of your more pressing questions anyway, and that is always available.

Restricted Countries

Australia, Belgium, Cambodia, Ecuador, France, Indonesia, Israel, Iran, Iraq, Italy, Kuwait, Myanmar, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Norway, Pakistan, Panama. Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, USA.

For a full list of restricted countries, visit the casino’s “Terms and Conditions” page.

SportingBet Casino experiences – Conclusion

The Casino Gorilla is making the kind of face that suggests the banana he has just eaten is maybe a little more bitter than expected. There are things about Sportingbet Casino that are great, including the improved slot and live casino game selection. The bonus just seems a little stingy though, and the Casino Gorilla just doesn’t like it when a site tries to bury the terms in a library of other terms and conditions. Plus, the actual visuals of the casino are not of the highest standard, and way off some of the better new online casinos on the market. Still, if you are only interested in the games, then Sportingbet Casino may be worth a spin.

I was looking for a casino that had a good selection of live dealer games. Sportingbet has many tables and the betting options fit right into my budget. This casino has more live games than many others, so it is a top choice in my book.

The best casino. I loved the frequent bonuses and rewards program. You can play everything at the same place, from betting on sports, playing poker and even slot games. The convenience of having it all was the main attraction for me.

I am new in online gambling. But from what I understand, this one is not that great. The visuals are not good according to me. One thing that made me happy is the certification from eCogra. Haven’t seen this in any other casinos. It means the games are fair for the players. Winnings from free spins are easily withdrawable. Not great, not terrible.

Pleased with the games selection and will stick with this casino because of its games. Particularly enjoy the live games - lots of options and always enough tables to join. Would recommend if you like having access to lots of popular games. Worth signing up to.

Sportingbet Casino Gambling

I'd always used the Sportingbet sportsbook, so thought it would be worth giving the casino a try. Big mistake. It's obvious that Sportingbet should have just stuck to sports betting because this is awful. I wouldn't use the Sportingbet casino again if you paid me. Do yourself a favour and steer clear.

Thank you for your comment. SportingBet showed signs of promise when they first moved into the Casino space. However, a lack of subsequent improvements made recommending them hard. Stick to other operators...
