    I was wondering how many online bookmakers the users of this forum have placed a bet with in the last 6 months?

    Do you have a favourite bookmaker for a specific market or bonus offer like Bet365 free e50 in play from time to time, ect?

    I like BetVictor for specials markets, Paddy Power for enhancements and in play handicaps, Bet365 for the 50 free bet in play, Pinnicle for the limits, Bwin for the wincasts, Totesport for the first/next goalscorer...

    Bwin are actually decent for something? I find their prices on 90% of markets abhorrent

    Do they still charge a fee for making deposits? Tried with them once and that put me off so didn't open the account in the end and haven't been back since. Although, don't think they've ever been top price on Oddschecker for anything I was backing since then.

    Yeah I think they do. They gave me €20 free a few years ago, which I got up to around a monkey and withdrew half before losing half, they haven't given me any freebies since then strangely enough

    Never had a depsoit fee with bwin, and they are consistently (like 90% of the time) the best value for the wincasts.

    Hmm, I'm almost sure there was one. May be somebody else I'm thinking of. Was definitely one of the non-Irish/UK bookies.

    On topic: Good to se the majority appear to be shopping around and dont just stick to one bookie

    Ah, OK. That's what I use so makes sense that I saw a fee and others didn't.

    I always thought most firms in all lines of business preferred debit card payments over credit cards. I know Ryanair charge a higher fee for credit cards and Aldi or Lidl at one point wouldn't accept credit cards at all but did take Laser.

    Anyway, I digress

    It seems like the majority of viewers are suspicious about answering an anonymous poll.

    Good to see that there is a good percentage of people shopping around.

    What is your preferred method of moving your balance around?

    I just use bet365 because IMO it's the best designed site with the best UI
