PlayersOnly has a good pedigree in the online sports betting industry. It used to be a part of the renowned Sportingbet PLC online betting empire, which bought this sports book around 6 years ago. The fact that it was acquired by such an eminent company is a good indication of the solid and respectable foundation that PlayersOnly had built up over the years, since its inception in 1996. Since the United Stated passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in 2006, however, Sportingbet shed its US facing betting properties, and Costa Rican based Jazette Enterprises took over the company. They also have a good track record, and players continue to wager in absolute confidence.

PlayersOnly, while based in Costa Rica, is licensed in Antigua. It operates as an offshore sportsbook, which allows US players to bet on a wide range of sporting codes and propositions. The game variety is really good, and the different types of bets that can be taken give you a lot of flexibility to make the most of your sports wagering, hopefully winning decent money and having a lot of fun at the same time. You can take up straight bets, progressive and regular parlays, buy points, and teasers.

Turning to the actual sports that are provided, you will of course find all the usual major US sports, as well as a good spread of international events. There is motor racing, boxing, golf, tennis and soccer, as well as what they call "Exotics" - these include bets on entertainment events like Idols, US politics and presidential nominations. The level of detail at which you can bet on the sporting events is really gratifying - as an example, check out MLB lines, running lines, daily props, player props, 1st 5 innings, adjusted running lines, total runs + hits + errors, margin of victory, player to hit first home run, series prices, and of course the various pennant races.

PlayersOnly also runs a casino and a poker room, both of which provide the standard most popular fare that players enjoy. They both also offer some great bonuses and promotions.

Customer service is excellent all round, and the company really goes out of its way to make everything as slick and professional as possible, drawing on their expertise and experience. One thing to note is that due to the restrictions on US financial transactions, there can sometimes be delays through no fault of their own.
