The Keys to Joining the Right Bookmaker

Betting online has seen massive growth in recent years. There are an ever-growing number of online bookmakers, but which should you join? As you will see, it’s not a case of becoming a member of the first site that comes up in the search engine.

Research is so Important

There are several factors that need to be considered when choosing which online bookmaker to register with. Undertaking some research before making your decision is an excellent idea.

There are plenty of sites that offer opinions on how good or bad online gambling sites are. Whether it be an in-depth review or the opinions of customers, this can help you come to your decision.

Ensure Financial Security

Aim to join a site that is licenced by the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board. A site that has this will have had to undergo strict examination before being issued with it. Also, this means that if there are any problems, particularly anything to do with financial transactions, they will have someone to answer to.

It is important that you become a member of a site that you can have trust in. Registering with a site that holds a licence is a key sign that you won’t find yourself becoming the victim of online fraud.

Mentioning financial transactions, this is another important aspect that needs to be considered. Look to join a site that offers a wide number of payment methods that can be used. Make sure that you check whether the site makes any financial charges, those can mount up over time. It is also a good idea to register with a site that doesn’t take too long to process withdrawals as this can cause cash flow problems.

Receive an Attractive Welcome Offer

In a highly competitive industry, sites are doing all they can to attract new customers. One tactic employed is giving new members a welcome offer. This will be used extensively in their advertising campaigns to entice people to sign-up with them.

The welcome offers come in several forms. The most popular is the offering of free bets. You will have seen all those adverts declaring for example, ‘Bet R500 Receive R2000 in free bets.’ Other examples include matched deposits and the stake of your first bet being refunded if it is a loser.

It is important however that you take the time to examine the welcome offer. Look though the terms and conditions because some aren’t as attractive as they may sound. Avoid those that require large wagering requirements to be fulfilled before a withdrawal is possible.

Promotions Aplenty

Promotions are always welcome at an online gambling site. It’s not going to be a great idea to join one that barely has any at all. A website that has regular promotions, whether they be enhanced odds, acca insurance or a loyalty program is ideal to join.

The online gambling industry is an ever changing one. Don’t join a site that doesn’t move with the times. Becoming a member of one that is innovative will make for an interesting and entertaining time.

Betting Opportunities and Markets Galore

When you join up with a site, one of your key aims is to be entertained. The last thing you want is to log in and find a limited number of betting opportunities. It’s like going into a shop that has hardly anything to buy. 

Again, do a bit of research before registering. Pay the site a visit at certain times of the day to see how busy it is. A good site will have coverage of events throughout the day from all around the world.

You may have found a site that has plenty happening on it but what about the markets it offers? Gone are the days of just betting on the final result. Join a site that has markets aplenty on offer. Everything from how many corners in a match, the number of tries that will be scored or who will be the highest run scorer in a cricket match. The more markets there are, the higher the number of betting opportunities.

Both the number of events and how many markets are offered will prove pointless if the site has poor odds. Look to become a member of a site that offers competitive odds. If they enhance some in special promotions, that is even better.

The Joys of In-Play Betting

In-play betting is where betting can become extremely entertaining. The thrill of following an event as it is taking place and to be able to bet on it too. A site that offers a constant stream of in-play betting is one to become a member of. If they have live streaming so you can watch the action too, then that’s another reason to join up.

Cash out is still a relatively new feature, but it has become incredibly popular. It allows you to end your bet before the match finishes. If you have doubts over whether your selection will hang onto its lead, then cash out your bet to receive a return on your stake. This feature gives you plenty to think about as you decide whether or not to cash out your bet so look to join one that includes this feature.

Final Words

You can see therefore, that there is plenty to think about when joining an online gambling site. Make sure before registering with a site that you know whether it is licenced and a good reputation, especially when it comes to financial matters., Join a site that presents you with lots of betting opportunities, has an attractive welcome offer and in-play betting to enjoy. With all these ingredients you will be joining a site where gambling is an extremely entertaining experience and a safe one too.
