BetCRIS is based and licensed in Costa Rica, and has been operating with success and integrity since the beginning of the 1990s, originally founded in 1985. In fact the name stands for Costa Rica International Sports. One of the big benefits to you of betting with this operation is that they will take any size bet. They don`t scorn the small single bets, and neither do they shy away from bets as high as $5,000 a time. They are also well-known for their fast payouts. As a high-volume sports book they take everything in their stride, and ooze a professionalism that is simply unbeatable.

The range of sports that you can bet on is really wide, with an international focus. All the US sports are well represented for a start. Then there is tennis, motor racing, boxing, European and US soccer and cricket, as well as more sports that you don`t often find on many of the international online sports book sites, like martial arts and Australian rules football. There are also parlay cards, an unrivalled variation of bet types and office pools that you can participate in.

As a sideline, BetCRIS runs a poker room and a casino, and these offer a range of games and promotions that are themed around various sporting events, which adds a nice extra dimension for sports fans.

These guys are the leaders in online sports betting and can be unreservedly recommended to anyone from occasional dabblers to high rollers.
