BetUK (aka BetEuro) - The Look

BetUK (aka BetEuro) has a great looking site: It shows columns on the left for the various sports, with the highlighted sports up front. There are no crazy ads and no bull feces. On the flip side, the page is so well done, that I really cannot find anything funny to say.

Bet UK (aka BetEuro) - Deposits and Withdrawals

The deposit and withdrawal options include Visa/Mastercard, NETeller, Moneybookers and Western Union. These are all fairly standard, There seemed to be no real obstacles in depositing funds. The limitation is that the currency is in Euros. Based on the current exchange rates and volatile East Asian market, I don't think it wise to convert my $13 deposit into 10 euros. Oh and yes, have Walter bring me more champagne. I'm having Peter Jennings and Fat Joe over for brunch.

BetUK (aka BetEuro) Wagering

BetUK (aka BetEuro) features Euro sports including darts, cricket, rugby and my favorite - dogs. They refer to them as "greyhounds," but Europeans are just sophis-ta-ma-cated like that. The actual betting options are limited if you're looking for more involved props and parlays.

BetUK (aka BetEuro) Bonuses and Extras

There are various bonuses associated with BetUK (aka BetEuro) -- 10% on initial deposits, 20% on bank wire deposits. There is a 100% matchplay bonus and reload bonuses as well. A cornucopia, a plethora, a bonus bonanza is what it is. You do have to email to get your matchplay bonus, which is equivalent to those annoying rebate coupons you get at the store. Why not just pay out the bonus? Most likely the reason is that people are lazy and the sportsbooks know it. By the way, scrambling through the fine print, it's interesting to note these two bonus stipulations:

• Due to continuous severe abuse of promotions by players residing in Denmark, all Danish players are required to wager the total amount deposited (purchase + promotional bonus) 30 times before ANY CASH-IN will be allowed.

  Thirty times? That's crazy! If I was in Denmark, I'd move. To Amsterdam.

• Casino bonuses are not available for players from Israel.

  Insert joke here.

  BetUK (aka BetEuro) Verdict

  BetUK (aka BetEuro) receives the rank of Catherine Zeta-Jones. Originally from the UK, now more American than anything, fairly nice looking, but not as great after the whole Michael Douglas baby debacle - which is a lot like BetUK (aka BetEuro). It caters to both Europe and the US, the bonuses and lines are fairly good, but the parlays and props are fairly standard. With that said, the site is worth looking at for bettors who want a balance of their domestic and international sports.
