BookMaker.eu Review :: An independent review of BookMaker.eu

BookMaker.eu is located in San Jose, Costa Rica. BookMaker is part of the BetCRIS family of gaming sites and is well established and financially sound.

BetCRIS started the offshore sportsbook industry back in 1985, well before Al Gore invented the internet! BetCRIS and BookMaker.eu have been offering their clients a safe, secure, and legal method of telephone and online sports betting for almost 25 years. BookMaker is an industry leader in ethical business practices and fights against the scam artists in the industry. BetCRIS has even bailed out smaller sportsbooks that have found themselves unable to pay their clients.

One pillar that BookMaker prides themselves on is their privacy standards. Whether you are a political figure, a WalMart greeter, or an NBA official (lol), you don’t have to worry about BookMaker releasing any information about you to anyone. BookMaker does not report to any government agency about the dealings of any of their clients and never will. Another key point is that BookMaker.eu offers the earliest possible betting lines. This means that while other companies are waiting to see what other books are opening their betting lines at, BookMaker is already taking action. You will never have to wait to place a bet at BookMaker!

Here are some details about BookMaker.eu

Customer Service Grade: “B” Customer service reps speak clear and precise English, Spanish, and Chinese. Customer service via telephone is much quicker than through email. Their email system is not very good, and may take two days to answer you… + 2 more days if you have a follow-up question. Call them! 😉

iPhone Sports Betting App: You will be pleased to know that betting on sports with your iPhone, mobile phone, or tablet is easy! BookMaker has a mobile enabled website for mobile users. You will not find ANY online sportsbook with an iPhone app as all applications must be approved by Apple. Dream on 😉
