The Greek Review



The Greek Sportsbook is one of the top online sports betting websites available today. Not only do they offer a fast and easy betting interface for current and future bets, they also offer telephone betting services for people that have an online account but do not have current access to a computer or the Internet. This service makes The Greek Sportsbook a fine resource for those that want to make safe and reliable bets on most sporting events around the world.

Although the website specializes in the major United States sports like baseball, football, ice hockey and basketball, they also offer gambling venues for less common sports like major horse races, golf, tennis and boxing. You can be sure that payouts will be received within 24 hours of the end of the event and that the transactions (both betting and payouts) will be handled in a guaranteed safe and secure manner.

There have been a few complaints on the reliability or accessibility of the customer service features but these complaints have been few and far between. The most promising features of The Greek Sportsbook include its financial stability and reliable payouts, easy to use interface and the unlikely presence of reasonable bonuses that are not normally present with most sports betting venues.

Bonuses

The bonuses are quite small but come with the promise of rollovers. Unlike many gambling sites there is a constant rollover bonus that greatly benefits people that regularly bet on sporting events. The occasional better that generally prefers to only bet on one major event (The Super Bowl for example) per year might be better served to deal with the alternative website owned by the same company BetJamaica. The bonuses that The Greek Sportsbook offers are:

Initial Deposit: New players will receive a 21% cash bonus for their first account deposit. This bonus is immediately available for the first wager and the funds are immediately paid out upon a successful bet. The maximum bonus amount is set at $250. This bonus can be rolled over 4 times if the entire amount is not bet during the first wager.

Future Deposits: All future deposits receive a cash bonus of 11% following the first deposit. However, this bonus is restricted to only one occasion per month. Much like the initial deposit bonus, the reloaded bonus can be rolled over a maximum of 4 times and the maximum bonus amount is set at $250. It is important to note that reloaded bonuses are not applied to deposits using a credit card or other express money transfer.

All Deposits carry a minimum deposit amount of $5 as the lowest amount of money that you are allowed to bet is the same at $5. Provided that your deposit meets these minimums, the bonus cash value will be applied to your wagers as you wish. Be aware, however, that certain payment methods and withdrawal options carry other deposit minimums and fees that should be taken into consideration. For example, a low bet that barely meets the withdrawal fee of $15 for Moneybookers may not be wise if you wish to receive the funds immediately.

Software/Graphics

The graphic and software are understandably simple and easy to use. Most players prefer interfaces on sports betting websites to be as simple as possible while giving all of the necessary information. The Greek Sportsbook is no exception. Information provided on the website includes the odds, spread, date and time of the event and the different bet amounts or spreads for each section of the game (for example, football games allow spread bets for each half and quarter).

Not only is the initial betting page easy to use and understand, the final selection for wager amounts and game tracking pages are fairly easy to use and designed to be mistake free. They also include an option for you to reverse a bet if you make a mistake and the event has not yet started.

Game Selection

Among the sports upon which you can bet are:

Football Baseball Basketball Hockey Soccer Golf Tennis Car/Bike Racing Rugby Horses

Deposit Methods

The Greek Sportsbook offers many Deposit Methods that are easy to use and readily accepted by the website. The deposit interface that new and existing players use is easy to access and very simple to use. The deposit methods that are acceptable are:

Visa MasterCard American Express E-Check WebMoney MoneyBookers Neteller Click2Pay myCitadel Cashier's Check Wire Transfer Book-to-Book Transfer

Withdrawal Methods

The Greek Sportsbook will allow the player to cash out their money by using any of the methods that are used to make deposits into the player's account. In addition to the above options, the player may also elect to receive a check in the mail. Although a valid picture identification is not required for deposits, you must submit one to receive any payouts. Submitting your identification is easily handled by the website before your first withdrawal.

Customer Service

One of the major complaints about the customer service provided by The Greek Sportsbook is that, as the company is based in Jamaica, some of the accents of operators can be thick and difficult to understand. Other than this minor problem, customer service for The Greek Sportsbook has been shown to be effective and reliable. Many problems that arise are handled immediately and with little or no hassles.
