Brief History
Launched in 2014, Mybookie was envisioned as an online bookmaker which will create an optimal gambling environment for their members, providing them with best odds, fast payouts, and professional customer support. In other words, the company decided to learn from the competitors’ mistakes and upgrade the service, heading straight to the top.
The site is currently operating under the Government of Curacao gaming licence and employs SSL encryption technology to protect their users’ safety. The operator obviously realizes the importance of the multilingual (English, French, and Spanish) customer support service, offering multiple communication channels – email, phone, and Live Chat. This, along with the tempting promotional program, has resulted in a number of positive reviews, and although it is still early to tell, it seems that Mybookie is not cutting any corners on their way to making the list of the best online bookies.
Reputation
So far, Mybookie has managed to build a reputation of an honest and trustworthy sports betting operator with short pending periods and hassle-free payouts. Since 2014, when Mybookie first appeared on the market, there have been no incidents or unresolved issues that would compromise the operators’s business ethics.
There are a few complaints here and there, however, they almost exclusively refer to the wagering requirements, the lack of certain payment methods, or, in some cases, the site design and the layout of the Sports category.
Betting Info
Obviously, sports betting is the central part of what Mybookie offers, and sports aficionados seem to be the target demographic of this bookmaker. Once you access the site’s sports section, you will find the table with the featured events to the left, just above the Betting Lines tab.
When you select the relevant category, the timetable, moneyline, spread, total, and the rest of the related info will be displayed at the centre of the screen. The prop bets for each of the events are placed just above the tabs displaying the odds, on the right.
This is actually only a small part of what MyBookie has to offer at any given time.
Those who are “new to the game”, can find a detailed explanation of all betting types and wagering rules under Sportsbook Rules section at the bottom of the page. Alternatively, you can visit the FAQ section. Quick links leading directly to the sports event calendar, odds (MLB, NFL, NCAA, and NBA), and the latest sports news (which can be filtered according to a specific category) are also available.
If you ever get tired of sports and find yourself looking for a different type of gambling diversion, Mybookie also includes Entertainment, Business & Politics, and Religion categories into their gaming catalog. The betting lines and odds for the next Pope selection are already live.
Mobile Client
Mybookie is an instant-play online bookmaker that can be launched from any mobile device. There is also a Mybookie app that can be downloaded from Google Play and App Store and installed on your smartphone or tablet (Android and iOS), enabling instant access to the latest odds, betting tips, and scores.
Bonus Offers
This is actually a very, very small view of the bonus offers.
At the moment, Mybookie welcomes their players with three sign-in bonus offers:
- 50% Sports Sign-In with Bonus Code “GOOD2019“, with a minimum deposit requirement of $100 (25% match for amounts under the threshold).
It is currently January 2nd as this is being typed. The code just mentioned does still work. This will be updated immediately when that changes! - $20 Risk-Free Bet unlocked immediately after placing your first bet
- 150% Bonus
There are also plenty of ongoing bonuses for the return members, including Free Spins, reloads and rebates.
Setting Up Your Account
To join Mybookie community, one will have to fill out the online form, providing personal details, contact information, and account details. At the bottom of the sign-in page, the new member can opt-in to receive SMS promotional offers and payment notifications. The verification link will then be sent to your email and phone number, and the registration process is completed as soon as the user clicks on the provided link.
Deposit Options
Not the biggest selection in the world, but still not bad at all.
Mybokie members can use the following options to submit their deposits: Bitcoin, MasterCard, person-to-person transfers, phone transfers, and cashier checks. No fees will be applied to the transactions.
The minimum deposit is $45 for the phone and credit card transfers or $25 for bitcoin depositors. The maximum amount will also depend on the preferred payment method, ($1,000 for phone and card payments and $10,000 for bitcoin deposits).
Pros & Cons
Final Thoughts
With a few adjustments, Mybookie could definitely emerge as a go-to site for all those who need a reliable sportsbook with competitive odds. Their elaborate promotional program is so far their greatest strength, slightly weakened by a somewhat higher rollover.
The lack of unresolved complaints is commendable, and judging by their current reputation, the operator is definitely well on its way of succeeding where others have failed.
