In the world of online sports books, WagerWeb is rather new.  Experienced bettors may remember when it used to be Casablanca.  However, given that it is such a new sportsbook, it is definitely an up and comer of which serious bettors should definitely be aware.  It has already built up a solid, enviable reputation.  Like its highest quality competitors, WagerWeb is based out of Costa Rica.  It offers a variety of betting outlets and an impressive list of sports.

WagerWeb offers just one sign up bonus, but it is definitely a big one.  At a cap of one thousand dollars, you receive a 10 percent sign up bonus.  However, the prerequisite rollover requirement is a rather high 5x rollover.  There are also a number of Free Play bonuses available with your first deposit.  So, if you deposit one thousand dollars with 20 percent of free play for two hundred dollars, you would have to have a rollover of six thousand dollars in order to get the payout.  Still, this sportsbook also offers very progressive reload bonuses, good for as much as 30 percent.  The maximum is one thousand dollars and there is a 5x rollover requirement.  There is also a referral bonus: it is good for up to 10 percent, but the people you refer have to deposit at least fifty dollars.  The maximum amount you can get for this bonus is two hundred and fifty dollars – but there is only a 2x rollover requirement.

Because WagerWeb is licensed by the Government of Costa Rica, the sportsbook accepts bettors from a variety of different countries – including the United States.  As such, it accepts a number of different deposit and withdrawal methods as well.  The deposit methods are as follows:

$                    credit cards (Visa and MasterCard);

$                    Click2Pay;

$                    I-Point;

$                    cashier’s check;

You can withdraw your payouts with:

BetOnFighting is one of the top sportsbooks available on the Internet today.  It is a diverse, high quality institution.  Most everyone who has ever used it possesses the stolid opinion that anyone who is interested in betting on Mixed Martial Arts matches should definitely have an account at BetOnFight.  Writing a review about this sportsbook is rather easy, because pretty much everything is positive.

For instance, their promotions and bonuses are second to none.  When you open an account with at least three hundred dollars – United States currency – then you can pick from a number of different sign up bonuses.  You can get a 20 percent Free Play Sign Up Bonus with a 5x rollover – meaning you have to bet at least fifteen hundred dollars in order to get the 20 percent.  You can also choose a Free Play Sign Up Bonus of 10 percent with a 3x rollover.  BetOnFighting will also cover any Western Union fees, for deposits of at least three hundred dollars.  Insofar as these bonuses are concerned, you cannot get them if you bet with a credit card, you cannot receive bonuses of over five hundred dollars, and there are no maximum day wagering requirements.There are a number of re-deposit bonuses as well.  They apply to deposits of at least three hundred dollars.  You will receive a 10 percent Free Play Re-Up bonus with a 3x rollover – i.e., you would have to play at least nine hundred dollars’ worth before receiving your bonus.  Yet again, credit card deposits do not quality for the bonus, the maximum bonus amount cannot exceed five hundred dollars, there are no maximum day wagering requirements, and if you withdraw money and then re-deposit it, it will not qualify for this bonus.  At BetOnFighting, re-up bonuses are only good if your recent wager activity results in losses which are equal to or more than the re-up amount you deposited.  As well, you cannot have requested a pay out in at least thirty days.  However, if you deposit a greater amount than the amount of the payout you withdraw, you might be granted a bonus on the difference – just as long as it is greater than three hundred dollars.

A number of countries can wager at BetOnFighting, which is properly licensed by the Government of Costa Rica.  They accept a number of different currencies as well, include the Euro, the GBP, the USD, the CDN dollar, the Swedish Krone, and the Norwegian Krone.  Deposits can be made with: ipoint; JCB; Dinsers Club International; American Express; Visa; MasterCard; Person to Person Transactions; Moneybookers; Pic-Club; Click2Pay; Betcris Platinum Account by Speedcard; EcoCard; ClickandBuy; eWalletXpress; paysafecard; bank wires; and bank drafts.  Withdrawals can be made using: Neteller; Person to Person Transaction; bank drafts; Pic-Club; Instant Check; Moneybookers; Click2Pay; EcoCard; and bank wires.
