betED Sportsbook has a relatively long history (in internet terms) of online gambling, having been established as far back as 1996. Anyone who knows something of the commercial timeline of the internet will realise that this not only makes it one of the earliest online betting operators, but also a commercial internet pioneer. It was one of the first companies to launch an online casino platform. Today it operates as a sportsbook, an online casino and an online poker room, with operations based in the offshore haven of Costa Rica. It is fully licensed in this territory.

betED Sportsbook launched the world`s first (and so far only) Flash-based sports betting software, which is what you`ll use when you sign up to wager on sporting events there. It is a rich interface when it comes to features, that is also easy to use and quick-loading - making it a very efficient way of managing your online sports betting. As far as the range of sports is concerned, there`s a full roster of both pro and college sports to bet on. The seasonal sports are highlighted on the home page and in the main navigation for ease of use, and all the current highlighted sporting events are displayed within easy reach. This includes special events, like the Olympics. The emphasis is on US sports, but international sports events are covered as well. You can also bet on entertainment (TV and celebrity prop bets), politics and events like the World Series of Poker.

When you join up, you get a 15% cash bonus on your first deposit, up to $250 free, and there are follow-up bonuses as well. For instance, if you win on your first bet, you get a reward in the form of a 50% bonus - the sportsbook adds another 50% of your win to your total. You also get a reload bonus of 10% every time you make a deposit into your betting account.

For those who like a wider betting experience, you can play at the allied online casino and poker room. There is also a Players Club that features all the latest news, scores and statistics and featured babes. There are numerous different secure ways in which you can fund your betting account, and the sportsbook maintains an interactive help system on its website, as well as a supportive live helpdesk team.
