With an ownership group that has over 20 years experience, BetOnline is the best sportsbook in the industry. Initially calling itself BestLineSports.com BetOnline switched its offices in 2005 from Costa Rica to Panama. The move proved to be a smart one as BetOnline has been ranked by many of our colleagues as the best online betting site in the industry.

Initially BetOnline used the online wagering site model of low juice high bonus to attract its customer base. The result was a large diverse crowd between the sharps who loved the low juice and the casual and new bettors who liked high bonuses. However, this model could only last for so long, and ultimately over the last couple years BetOnline has altered its business plan to a high limit large bonus.

What should be noted however is that BetOnline is one of a handful of sportsbooks which maintains a grandfather rule. Essentially, bettors who joined BestLineSports before it became BetOnline sportsbook are allowed to maintain their accounts. This means that for bettors who opened accounts during the low juice high bonus days, they are able to keep that model for their accounts instead of switch to the new model.

Presently, BetOnline sportsbook has gone from attracting every type of customer to a more specific brand. On the one hand, they still have a large amount of old school sharps that enjoy calling in their bets. While on the other hand BetOnline has a lot of new bettors come to its website to get their feet wet in the industry.

For us the areas which take the cake for why BetOnline is a fantastic sportsbook, is their customer service and bonus program areas. The customer service area was one of the first in the industry to be 24 hours and the bonus program offers cash back on certain amounts of bets. The cash back becomes a free play after you reach a certain amount of bets.
