There is a new
all-in-one online gambling site on the Web called Bet-1. Developed by the same
team who owns and operates TheSweetScience online sportsbook and BetPhoenix,
Bet-1 is the most comprehensive of the pack, featuring an online casino, poker
room, sportsbook and bingo hall. The company issued a recent press release
announcing the launching of the site, which is based out of Alajuela, Costa
Rica.
While it is true that
Costa Rica has gotten some flack for its lack of "regulation" of online
betting sites (it's legal to host gaming servers in Costa Rica, yet regulation
standards are not enforced), the owners of Bet-1 have proven themselves in the
past and have a strong following of devoted bettors at their other sites. When
it comes to online sports betting, the chances of a bookie fix are rare. Rigged
casino games...well that's another matter altogether.
There is no doubt that
Bet-1 has been working hard to get ready for the 2007 National Football League
season currently underway. To commemorate the opening of the site, Bet-1
announced they will be giving a 20% cash bonus for new players, a 10% horse
freeplay bonus and 15% reload bonus for online sportsbook depositors.
At the current time,
the online casino, poker room and bingo hall is not accepting bets just yet (the
website says its coming soon). However, the sportsbook and racebook is already
up and running, and a 1-800 number is already live for handling phone wagers. A
football and soccer news feed is also available for bettors who like to do their
research before placing bets. Bet-1 is also currently scouting affiliates to
help promote their online gambling services.
