This is one of the first online sportsbooks. They are known for their stellar domain (sportsbook.com) and celebrity spokeswomen, who have included Brooke Burke and most recently Carrie Stroupe.
Support from "Sportsbook" is offered via live chat, email and phone. Cashouts are available instantly to Neteller and Firepay.
In terms of the software, "Sportsbook" has you covered. Everything is easy to find and placing a bet is as simple as could be expected. It is slightly annoying to have to type in 'yes' to confirm each bet, and not being able to use a 'betting slip' or some type of feature which allows you to group bets together.
There is a slight North American focus at "Sportsbook", but European sports are also covered reasonably well. There aren't as many betting options or props from what I found, but they are asking for their users to submit ideas for expansion, so this will only get better.
