Best online bookie??

    I've had enough of Paddy Power and it's go slows during big meetings, it's sloppy deposit system and cheeky "Live Help" staff who tell me I should pay attention to the rules of depositing money when it is their system at fault. A system that allows me to deposit money from my Paypal account but then 3 minutes later when I try to have a bet my account is blocked because of the name on my Paypal is different to my PP accont! :mad:

    So can anyone recommend a better online bookie? (Ireland or UK, i'm in the uK) In particular one that might have some tempting offers to entice a new customer??!! ;)

    They suspended my account after accusing me of "money laundering" for withdrawing money back into paypal without betting it all first. (family emergency at the time they wouldn't listen). I would recommend using all different bookies especially for the bonuses.

    BET365, because of their offer and general odds variations.

    Betfair is where you want to be though.

    These threads should be banned.

    OPEN AN ACCOUNT WITH EVERYONE!!

    Why would you not have an account with every possible bookmaker?? There is no such thing as 'the best one'. They all have their faults and their plus sides.

    same here
    powers are crap
    stan james dont guarantee early price in irish meeting so they
    don't deserve anyones custom

    bet365 have the best horse racing offers and give you the odd freebet
    from time to time

    open plenty of accounts for good opening offers and then leave
    think ive had an account with every one possible at some stage

    Don't like Powers because they're terms and conditions are questionable to say the least as well as unhelpful staff online. Not a fan of Stan James as they did me out of a free bet after the world cup (free bet had to be used in 30 days, never said this in the terms and conditions when I read them; I waited for a few days for them to come up too because prior to that all that came up was "page cannot be displayed" on various browsers, on various computers).

    Haven't had troubles with any other bookie and have had an account with Bet365 as long as my Powers account (which I've had many, many problems with).
