FORMULA 1 SPORTSBOOKS

Choosing a sportsbook

When it comes to placing a bet you need to make sure that the sportsbook you choose to play at is an established and trusted one, with a good reputation. There are some fly by night online bookies out there so use a little caution when making your choice.

Secondly, you also need to make sure that the sportsbook offers you good betting odds. We would like to recommend that you sign up with more than one sportsbook and before placing your bet make a comparison of the odds they are offering as they do differ from sportsbook to sportsbook.

Not all sportsbooks are the same

We gave you a list above of our top sportsbooks choices but as betting rules and regulations vary from country to country, so do the sportsbooks licenses which regulate which areas they are allowed to offer sports betting to.

Bovada for instance, one of our choices of top sportsbooks only offer play to North America. Bet365 on the other hand offers betting to most of the world but not to America or South Africa amongst a few other countries.

For more information on this, read through our reviews on each sportsbook where we give you details of which countries are accepted by each of the sportsbooks.

Currency, Deposit and Withdrawal methods

 Each sportsbook offers a variety of currencies in which you can place your bets, once again they do vary. Most of the sportsbooks will offer play in at least three different currencies.

Bovada again, only operate in $USD as it is a specialist sports book catering specifically for the North American markets.

Deposits can be made in many different ways and wire transfer, credit cards and eWallets such as NETeller are accepted by most. eWallets are really handy for depositing and withdrawing funds and are widely used in sports betting and on making other purchases on the net around the world today.

Withdrawal methods will depend largely on which country you are playing from, there are many different ways of withdrawing funds or winnings and these international sports books will cater for specific cards or payment methods in your particular country. One of the quickest methods is to get yourself or use an eWallet.
