SAN JOSE, Costa Rica--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 10, 2004

Betmaker, one of the world's largest online sportsbooks, proclaims that they are a regular, legitimate business. While gambling on lotteries and casinos is only legitimate in 46 of the 50 states in the U.S., and sportsbetting (to include betting on horse races) is only legitimate in just about 30 states, many countries in the world recognize gambling on sports as a person's right nationally and regulate it just as they would betting on the stock market.

As in any industry, there are a few bad seed companies that occasionally hit the headlines by making false promises and hiding from their responsibilities. But for the weary bettor, there are many Sportsbooks that do live up to their promises and don't want the consumer to be turned away because of inaccurate opinions about the industry.

"Before placing a bet online, there are several things that someone should look for in a sports book," states Herb Roberts, marketing manager of Betmaker. "Always check to see if the company has a toll free number to contact them. If a dispute should arise, you want to make sure that you can contact them to resolve the matter. Check around to see how long they have been in business and their reputation on sites such as the Off Shore Gaming Association (www.osga.com). Also check to see if they have a business license, the jurisdiction they operate in and what their payout policies are."

Betmaker has been in the Sportsbook business for eight years and has built up a reputation for their excellent customer service that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, generous cash bonuses on deposits, and absolute security and privacy. They have headquarters in the United Kingdom and operate from the licensed jurisdiction of Costa Rica. They pride themselves on providing their customers with the most convenient, user friendly and safe sports betting service available.
