General Information The Austrian bookmaker Admiral Sports Betting was founded in 1991 and with more than 170 shops in Austria, one in Italy and another in Romania (as of September, 2008), it has become one of the most popular national sportsbooks in Austria. To make the search for an Admiral Sportwetten location closest to you easier, we’ve put together a listing of all the Admiral shops. Since 2001, the company has been listed on the Austrian Stock Exchange. That same year, Admiral Sports Betting received a British betting license by taking over the British betting company, “Jackpot Dream Limited.”
In 2002, the Admiral Sportwetten online business was sold to the English subsidiary, “Admiral Sports Betting (UK) Ltd.” Furthermore, in 2006, Admiral received an Italian betting license and subsequently opened its first betting shop in 2007 in Trento. Bets Offered Admiral’s betting portfolio is quite impressive and includes sports ranging from football (soccer), hockey, handball and basketball to Formula 1, boxing and golf. The football wagers available is especially very extensive. Special/alternative bets are of particular importance at Admiral. Unique special bets, such as “how is the game play?” and “when will a goal be scored?” are offered along with bets on goal scorers, handicap bets and over/unders. Bets using the ever-more popular Asian handicap are also among Admiral’s diverse betting offer. Bets on various events in the world of entertainment are offered as well, such as wagers on the winner of exciting television events like award ceremonies.
Live bets are offered in sports such as football (soccer), tennis, hockey, Formula 1, basketball, American Football, baseball and winter sports. You can stay up to date by checking out the “Live Results” section and get preliminary results of current sporting events. Games Currently (as of September, 2008), Admiral unfortunately does not offer a casino or poker room.
Instead, customers can keep the action going in the “Game Zone.” Various mini-games, such as blackjack, backgammon, snooker, Gin Rummy, billiards, scat, dominos and Sudoku can be played for fun or real money. Information about the Website The Admiralbet.com website is available in German as well as English.
Due to legal restrictions, bettors in Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, South Africa, and Switzerland may not place bets at Admiral Sportwetten.
Furthermore, the “Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006” also forbids American banks and credit card companies from transferring funds to online bookmakers, which prevents Admiral from accepting bets from bettors in the United States.
