General Information Sportingbet.com is the largest subsidiary of the globally successful online gaming company Sportingbet Plc, which was founded in 1998 and has been listed on the London Stock Exchange since 2001. Sportingbet Plc operates various online betting offices over its subsidiaries with licenses in the United Kingdom, Australia, Alderney (Guernsey), Italy and Antigua – similar to a franchise system. The more than 30 different markets in Europe, Australia, Canada and South America are therefore ideally suited to their local preferences.
- Sportingbet.com is part of the Sportingbet Group. The various language versions of the website are each managed individually.
All non-European bets on Sportingbet.com run over Internet Opportunity Entertainment (Sports) Limited, another company from Sportingbet Plc, licensced in Antigua and Barbuda. - Sportingbet.com.au is a market of its own, licensed in Australia with bets especially for the Australian market.
- ParadisePoker.com was taken over by Sportingbet Plc in 2004 in order to offer customers from around the world a high quality poker room as well.
Betting Offer The sporting bets offered vary from country to country, though generally football (soccer), tennis, handball, formula 1, motor racing, winter sports, golf, track and field, boxing, darts, cycling, baseball, basketball, hockey, rugby und snooker are all included. The sportsbook also offers wagers on horse and greyhound racing.
On top of all that, you can even place bets on the outcome of political and social events or on the winners of major poker tournaments. Sportingbet offers several alternative wagers for most sports. In football (soccer), punters can, for instance, bet on the “Correct Score,” “1st Goal” and “Teams to Score” or they can place over/under, half-time and handicap bets. Bets using the Asian handicap are currently unavailable (as of October, 2008). Live bets are accepted in sports like football, tennis, winter sports, handball, hockey, basketball, rugby, darts and snooker. Games and more… Apart from the excellent sportsbook, Sportingbet also offers the Paradise Casino where customers can have a go at different slots, video poker and various other games. The “table games” section contains famous casino classics like blackjack, roulette and baccarat. Furthermore, poker fans will enjoy Sportingbet’s Paradise Poker. Under the menu options “Games” and “1v1,” players will find various mini games. Unlike the “Games” section, where all your opponents are computer-generated, you can play against real people in “1v1” games. In “Sportingbet Backgammon” players can battle against each other 24 hours a day, just like in the “1v1” section. Under “Financials,” you can also bet on the rise or fall of an index at a certain stock market within a defined period. Sportingbet customers with a WAP/internet enabled mobile phone should have a look at the “Mobile” section. With the help of mobile betting, you can browse the latest prices and bet on all the sports offered, no matter where you are. Information about the Website The website is available in many different languages, including the following: English, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish. Residents of the United States are not allowed to place bets at Sportingbet as the “Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006“ forbids American banks and credit card institutions from transferring funds to online gambling companies.
