Short description: gamebookers.com is one of the world's leading online sports books. They offer a wide variety of betting opportunities across an international selection of sports. gamebookers.com focus is on fun, ease of use, reliability and security. They claim that their software and systems are at the forefront of technological innovation, which allows us to deliver cutting-edge game features and functionality.
Gamebookers is functioning since October 1998 and works online since 2000. Gamebookers are one of the pioneers of bookmaking industry. They were the first all-in-one shop for sports bettors covering a huge range of bets combined with in-depth sports news, information tools and community functions. Also they were the first to combine betting exchange with usual betting and they were the first bookmaker allowing its customers to sell their bets back to the house (and still are the only bookmaker offering this option). According to official press-releases Gamebookers have more then 300.000 customers from over 150 different countries.

- Bookmaker's margin is not important for your betting strategy
- You want to have ability to sell bet after you placed it

What I don't like in gamebookers.com :
- Basketball lines not wide and release date is too late
- Asian handicap odds are not the best
- Bonus withdrawal rules are too risky to use
I like the way how gamebookers.com works with VIP persons. They never cut limits like many other bookmakers do, they allow punters to play on all markets and your stake does not depend on your success rate. But this is a main reason why their less popular than soccer lines are not so wide and odds are lower than average. All in one gamebookers.com is good place for those who like to bet on sports and use big wager sums. Unfortunately Switzerland, USA, Bulgaria and Netherlands based punters are not accepted at Gamebookers. gamebookers.com Security Review
Gamebookers is licensed and regulated by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission and Government of Gibraltar. They are using PartyBets platform which is tested by iTech Labs, an independent tester of gaming and wagering devices. It ensures that Gamebookers games are operating correctly and. Gamebookers also use 128-bit encryption, provided by Thawte Security, to ensure the security and privacy of customers data.

Gamebookers has reduced the number of currencies it accepts. At this moment you can have Gamebookers account in: Euros (EUR), US Dollars (USD), Sterling (GBP), Leu (RON), Forint (HUF), and Zloty (PLN). A minimum deposit of EUR 5 ($10) or currency equivalent applies. Gamebookers Withdrawals Cashing out can be fast and easy at Gamebookers but some fees apply eg GBP 0.75 for checks, debit card and VISA cash outs and Click2Pay. Everything else is free except cheques and bank wires/transfers. Cheques can be mailed or fast tracked via Fedex/UPS//DHL.You can only withdraw via the method you deposited except for cheques & bank wires. Gamebookers Bonuses & Promotions Review
Gamebookers will give you a 100% bonus on your first deposit (up to 50 USD) when you open an account at Gamebookers. Please that Gamebookers bonus rules apply to withdraw bonus. The deposit amount (up to maximum bonus amount) + the bonus amount must be turned over 3 times in Gamebookers on odds 2.0 or above before a withdrawal can be paid out. Bonus expires 90 days after making a first deposit. Personaly I think that Gamebookers bonus rules are too risky and I would not risk my bankroll 3 times on odds above 2.0 to get additional 50 USD. It's much more easier simply to place one additional 100 USD bet on asian handicap market and win it.
Also you will earn GBPoints on every bet at Gamebookers. Later you will be able to trade them for cash or gift certificates. You need 100 Points to be able to withdraw after you've claimed the €50 bonus.
Gamebookers run other punter promotions (like free T-shirts, larger bonuses) from time to time (usually specially for big events like Euro2008, Olympics and so on).
Gamebookers Betting Line Review
Gamebookers has extremely good football line and offers a wide range of other international sports too. If you are soccer punter then you'll be able to bet on it at good odds (not the highest but one of the best on the market) at Gamebookers. Most betting styles are supported here: outrights, halftime/fulltime, half time, over/under, exact score, double chance, handicap, Asian handicap, quarter Asians, double chance and system bets. Other sports punters also can use Gamebookers but in most cases Gamebookers line would not be so wide as for soccer. For example on basketball events market you will be able to place bets only on outcome, handicaps and over/under line. But because usually Gamebookers release their after Pinnacle & few others bookmakers they usually release balanced line with no-errors which are used for early markets. By doing such politics Gamebookers minimize their risks on markets where they don't feel confident. Live betting is also not the best side of Gamebookers. However Gamebookers has a great Live Betting console on site and are extending their coverage into new sports, they are 2-3 levels lower than leading live-betting bookmakers like Betfair, Bwin or Bet365.com
I rate Gamebookers as a good bookmaker in overall. Maybe it's not the best place for me as basketball punter but for sure it will satisfy need of 80% punters who place bets on soccer. Gamebookers have excellent design and navigation (best in the industry). Some of the Gamebookers features like betting exchange between customers or ability to sell bets to bookmaker if you decide to cancel them increase Gamebookers rating. I would recommend this bookmaker for all punters who is seeking secure and trustful online bookmaker.
