MyBookie Sports Book Review

MyBookie welcomes players from Ohio

Sports Book Info

For many around the world, sportsbetting is an afterthought. It’s something that’s available online, at corner stores, or just about anywhere you head out to. For punters in the United States, this hasn’t been the reality. Those looking for a way to wager on sports were restricted to either going to Nevada, relying on a seedy bookie, or by utilizing an offshore website (some of which are more trustworthy than others). Of course, this all changed in 2018, when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned PASPA, a law that made sportsbetting illegal in all but a handful of states. This opened up the market to individual states, who can determine whether or not they want to legalize the activity to residents. The market appears to be growing, as a handful of states have already legalized and begun taking bets, with more planning to do so in the near future.

Despite this, there are still more states that have taken no steps to regulate the activity, leaving players looking for other options. It’s here where a good online sportsbook like MyBookie comes into play. The site offers Americans, Canadians, Australians, and others an excellent selection of sports to wager on, has a good banking system, and also manages to give you a fleshed out online casino if you’re looking for a different bet for a short period.

Sports options

There are a bunch of different sports for punters to wager on at MyBookie, including the NFL, college football, MLB, NHL, NBA, tennis, boxing, golf, cricket, soccer, and more. On the entertainment side of things, you can bet on politics, wrestling, religion, and even who will be the best man at a celebrity’s wedding.

Of course, MyBookie is appealing to a generation of younger bettors with an eSports betting section. The site takes and allows punters to bet on the outcomes of tournaments for games like Starcraft 2, Overwatch, Dota 2, CS: Go, Heroes of the Storm, and League of Legends. eSports are a growing sector in the betting world, as the events are extremely popular among younger bettors, who watch the events in huge numbers.

Mobile support

MyBookie fully works with mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. The site looks very good in both portrait and landscape mode on your phone, and I had no issues placing a bet on my phablet.

Responsible Gaming

Interestingly, there isn’t a responsible gaming section on the MyBookie website. This is too bad, as we feel all betting sites have a responsibility to promote responsible betting to their customers. The only thing I could find pertaining to stopping addictive behaviors is a phone number to a gambling addiction hotline at the bottom of the site.

Security

The book does encrypt player data using 128-bit SSL encryption technology. This sees the casino essentially scrambling information as its sent between your computer and the casino’s servers, making them only readable by the sending and receiving parties. This is vitally important, as there are constant data breaches throughout the world, with identities and financial data being stolen. We only recommend you bet at sportsbooks that utilize this technology to protect you.

Terms and Conditions

The terms and conditions at MyBookie are reasonable, and we don’t find them to be unfair or predatory toward punters.

Banking Options

There is a slew of different deposit and withdrawal options at MyBookie. Each of these options have their own pros and cons, but we recommend you bank with Bitcoin if possible, as they have the fastest way to get your winnings to you. The site does have a 48-hour pending time to be processed, and there are different minimums and maximums for each method.

The Casino

In addition to the sportsbook, MyBookie operates a full online casino to their customers. The group offers slots, table games, video poker, keno, and bingo. The group’s casino is much more fleshed out than some other books we’ve run across in the past, and we’re impressed with the selection of titles we’ve seen from the group.

In terms of table games, you’ll find blackjack, roulette, poker, craps, Pai Gow, War, and more. The quality of the games is good, although there aren’t too many bells and whistles to impress you with visually. There is also a full live dealer casino in place for those who want the land casino experience from the comfort of their couch. These games are webcast from a studio, allowing you to make a decision on your computer that is then played out on the screen by a dealer. The real benefit here is that the pace of the game is a bit slower than a normal online game, allowing you to pace yourself. I’ve become a big fan of live dealer games as the technology has improved, and it’s become my go-to for table games these days.

Licensing

Many sportsbooks offering services to Americans have no gaming license whatsoever or carry one through a useless jurisdiction like Costa Rica. MyBet carries a license from Curacao, which is used by many operators to license their operations. While it’s not as good as a spot like Malta, it’s still pretty decent and gives players at least some semblance of protection.

Player issues

There are currently no known player issues pertaining to how MyBet conducts their business.

Conclusion

If you’re looking for a good sportsbetting option and live in an area where sportsbetting is somewhat restricted, then MyBet is an excellent choice. You’ll find a huge selection of sports to wager on, good banking options, and a bunch of bonuses to claim.
