Sportsbook.com Review

Is there a better name for an online sportsbook than sportsbook?

There’s a good chance anyone looking for a place to bet online is going to type in sportsbook.com and see what they find. Sportsbook.ag (formerly sportsbook.com) also has the search engine scene cornered too. Just input sportsbook into Google and see what the top response is.

For years though Sportsbook was their own worst enemy to their ease of attracting customers. And in 2011, they opted to retreat from the US market, making them a shop for Canadian and international bettors. They had no problem drawing people in with their easy to find book, but they did have trouble keeping a lot of them around due to mismanagement and poorly run customer service that led to frustration for bettors. When there’s a number of other options out there you don’t want to piss off you clientele.

That finally started to change after Sportsbook.com changed hands in 2006. The new owners moved the operation from Costa Rica to Curacao, under whose authority a number of other well-known and respected sportsbooks already did business. The new ownership also began solving some of the customer service problems and streamlined in efforts to make things easier on customers and reduce the frustrations that had been giving Sportsbook.com a bad name for years. This was the first step in the right direction.

One area Sportsbook.ag has never needed new direction or help is in marketing. The site has always been in the public eye with celebrity spokeswomen, catchy advertising and sponsorships. They also put time and money into their web site, making it easy and fun to navigate.

That site delivers odds and props for all major sports events around the world and the occasional fun betting odds from the latest news story and entertainment world. There’s also poker, casino and horse racing for the gambler who wants to get his feet wet in every pool.

As long as Sportsbook.ag continues to aim high and avoid the depths that kept them off our recommended list in the past they’ll be a solid a reputable online destination for bettors now and in the future.
