Who is the BEST Bookmaker for me?

Every week I get email from people all around the world who want to find the "best bookmaker" to bet with, and of course my answer depends on a lot of different things - from where you live, to your preferred betting markets, and the size of stakes required.

Down below you will find our recommendations for bookmakers for :

• United Kingdom
• United States
• Australia

  Q. Which site is the best bookmaker for UK players ?

There are several things to consider for UK punters when picking a bookmaker to open a betting acount at, so let's go over the basic considerations before naming our top three places to take a punt.

1/ UK LICENSING : The UK gambling jurisdiction has some of the best protections in the world in place for players if they use locally licensed bookmakers, and so UK players should only consider using bookmakers that are licensed in the UK.

2/ BEST ODDS : Getting the best prices is the key to making profits long term and all of the bookmakers on our list are competitive.

3/ BEST COVERAGE : Not all bookmakers are equal when it comes to covering all for Europe's leagues. Some are very much focused on local action and do not offer many odds below the top flight football.

4/ BEST BONUSES : Are you actively bonus hunting? Or just looking to get a good joining offer? The facts are that UK Gambling commission has substantially restricted what bookmakers can offer as enticements to play, so this is tightly controlled area these days.

So given our four criteria -- just who are the best UK Bookies in the market today?

• #1 is Bet365 with a top bonus offer and comprehensive betting coverage.
  
  
• Second place is the well-known bookmaker BetFred

  Q. Where is the best offshore sportsbook for USA players?

It's easy to narrow down the sportsbook field for American citizens, as there are only a handful of quality betting sites accepting US players, and a whole lot of rubbish - so make sure that you're using one of these four sites to get safe, secure noline sportsbook betting.

• If you want good sports betting, with top casino and busypoker tables play as well - then Bovada Sportsbook and Casino is the best all-round choice.
  
  
• Heavy hitters will know that Bookmaker.eu also offer a good sportsbook service with a solid deposit bonus and good money handling service including Crypto deposits and withdrawals.
  
  
• Another solid option is BetOnline with a long history of good service
  
  
• And finally EveryGame (Intertops rebranded) who are a longstanding, quality site that provides good service to US players.

  Q. Which bookie is best for Australian players?

Legally, Aussie players can choose anywhere in the world to place a sports bet.

But practically if you're looking to bet with Aussie Dollars on local Australian sports, such as AFL Footy, NRL, A-League Soccer, Cricket and Super Rugby then Aussie players are going to be better served by sticking to bookmakers that have a good local Australian presence.

• In my opinion the best local bookmaker is Bet365 with a good range of sports and well priced lines to provide competitive betting options

  Q. Which is the best sportsbook for Canadian gamblers?

Canadian bettors have plenty of locations to choose from - as they can pick from the best bookmakers in Europe, UK, Australia and the Carribean to play at. But once again having a bookie that deals locally is a big advantage - so let's cut to the chase.

• The #1 site is Bodog who have a good operation with sports casino and poker play on offer.
  
  
• The best international bookie is UK based Bet365 who are safe, secure and with good odds.
  
  
• Rounding out the top 3 is BetOnline who offer good bonuses and secure betting.
  

  Q. What is the best sports betting option for European Players?

These days many European governments have implemented a whole new set of betting rules, restrictions and of course taxes (!) on sports betting, and for many it's getting harder and harder to find a good betting destination.

The top European bookie Bet365 is the best choice - solid, safe, secure, with multiple licenses accepting 40 different European countries. Players from UK, Germany, Spain, Greece, Sweden, Ireland, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Hungary, Austria can all bet there.

But individual country rules mean that players from France, Belgium, Netherlands, Portugal, Poland, Romania and Turkey CANNOT bet at bet365 as their Governments issue draconion sports betting laws and try to force players into local monopolies.

All European players do have a good option in placing bets with top crypto-bookie CloudBet who have sharp betting lines and accept deposits and withdrawals with 12 different cryptos, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin, ChainLink Dash, USDC and USDT (Tether).

  Q. Safe Bookmakers and Casinos for Bitcoin Betting :

Cryptocurrency is the new wave of money payments, helping to keep Government noses out of YOUR business, and there are a couple of quality sportsbooks that have appeared that accept many crypto-tokens and players from a wide range of countries. See our full crypto betting page for a full list.

A good option for European bettors is CloudBet which has dedicated payment processes set-up for Crypto and accept a wide range of crypto-currencies. However, players from the UK cannot bet here.

American facing offshore sportsbooks have also adopted Bitcoin, Ethereum and other Crypto, as well as other online banking services, so US based players can bet with the big established sites with Crypto :

• Bovada Sportsbook
• Bookmaker
• EveryGame

Best bookies for AFRICAN bettors :
African players have problems getting their money online - so most punters will probably end up betting with local operators or backstreet bookies and get bad odds and poor service.

As very few African players ever used our promoted bookmakers ... we have stopped researching safe places for African punters .. so do your own research

Best bookies for ASIAN players :
Just like African visitors, our Asian readers hardly ever used our site sponsor bookmakers ... prefering to bet with cash at back street bookies.

We have used DafaBet without any issues - and other than that have NO other recommendations.
