What all are your considerations before picking your go to sportsbook?

[Mate2237]

...Please do contribute on what categories would you like to see to compare sportsbooks.

Here's the old list

You have to update the list or what best, you need to lock the thread and create new thread with the current sportbooks that running in the forum.  As others said the reputation of the sportbooks should be into consideration and also I add mine with the quality of the service given out by the sportbooks and not a poor performing sportbooks.  The KYC should not be use to nail the customer to the wall but for fair clarification of the customer to claim his wins. And some categories like football, Cricket Game, Volleyball, Basketball and other Odd games.

With my factor, it mostly comes first with the reputation. As in, we get some feedback from other users that have a genuine experience with casinos per se. It's like comes with a package if I go with that factor of having the reputation first as it includes a lot of things. User experience, kyc/non-KYC, deposit and withdrawal speed, customer service, and a lot more.

Nothing i can think yet for others, i dont care about kyc, i can play a kyc required or not sportsbook afterall.

For most KYC is of concern but when you do like where you gamble and the approach and the customer service they've shown to you. You really won't care about compliance as long as you enjoy and have a flawless experience.

What I look for specifically is a list of restricted countries, and whether my country is on it, also I read the Terms and Conditions and make sure there is nothing weird or shady in it, I inquire about KYC requirements, I make sure of whether or not they have an excellent reputation (old, known and trusted), find out if they have decent odds, what the minimum bets are, as well as the minimum withdrawals, bonuses/VIP/Loyalty incentives, customer support history and licensing details (where they got their license and how).

But that is pretty much it.

I like to be thorough if I plan on putting ANY amount of my money on ANY platform which has the power of freezing my funds or taking my money hostage. Even with low amounts of funds, I believe one should treat their money with discipline and respect. Otherwise one may fall into bad habits and lose everything all together.

First, it must be popular and reputable enough, it's stupid if someone want to gamble on unknown site since the risk of getting scammed is high.

You post like you are new on this forum. I always say this too when I have not joined this forum, that people should only register on gambling site that is highly trustworthy and common to the public. But I joined this forum and notice that there are some new gambling sites on this forum which are also trustworthy as they want to grow. You are not wrong, but I am just talking about my experience on this forum.

Then the other criteria is high odds, interesting promotion, many choice of events and betting option, etc.

What I have noticed is that the odds on most casinos that I am using are very similar with just little differences, this makes me not to consider this anymore, but maybe it still matters to some people. I just like the welcoming offers and other promotional offers.

I would choose to gamble on no KYC sportsbook, there was a good no KYC sportsbook e.g. Betja, but the site closed down without any notice and they just disappear without consider to refund other gamblers money who their money stuck in their site. But now I still not find a good no KYC sportsbook, maybe few months or a year later, we will see that.

Currently I only trust Duelbits as a KYC sportsbook.

Many don't even know that there are casinos that will not demand KYC from them because that's their own standard being a no KYC casino, it has been a very common situation these days that you find out with may gamblers not interested in having anything to do with KYC casinos because of their unceasant demands on user's verifications, though it could be frustrating but it's also part of their protocols since they are KYC casinos, they must make demand except if we opt in for a no KYC casino.

If you lose then you never have to go through KYC. If you win, even very small amounts, you may have to go through KYC. Look for books without unless you are a lifetime loser than you don't have to worry.

I am not sure what "very small amounts" are for you, but I cashed out thousands of dollars (but never more than $3k) from the above-mentioned casinos and never had any problems with that. And I have a nice experience with many other crypto casinos as well...

I don't consider myself "a lifetime loser", I am an average gambler, and I guess an average gambler is aware that "gambling" is full of ups and downs. We have good and bad periods. But in the end, we are trying to be fair players, and if you are a fair player I think that you will not have problems with KYC.

[Casdinyard]

All I am really looking for when choosing a place to place a wager is if they accept my country, KYC, have the markets I wish to bet on, have some sort of decent reputation, and if they have decent odds.

If any 1 of my needs are not there I will not bet on that sportsbook.

Same here. That's pretty much what you only have to look for when you're choosing a sportsbook, everything else is a bonus. Although you could throw "bonuses" and cashout limits there too if ever, coz some of these sportsbooks place such leeways and limitations on users to keep them on the site for longer.

So sorry to hear about that bro. I mean the very reason for you to trust a site (KYC) apparently didn't help with ensuring that they stay true to their word, but I still hope you consider KYC as something to look for in a bookie. In that regard, why not try out stake too? I think its KYC isn't that too hard for the regular person to complete, plus it pays to have a couple of bookies you trust and play with you know. 

[QueenVera]

Are there bookmakers now that definitely do not require KYC, even after a big win?

I think there are still non kyc casinos but the truth be told that when ever you're playing on  such casinos you should be aware that you should be doing that at your risk.
And answering to op, there are different  things people ought to consider before gambling on a casino and just as I have mentioned previously, I think transaction  fee and also payment duration and kyc should be considered  because there have been alot of blocked accounts as a result of kyc and I'm sure no one wants to face sure.

[beerlover]

in regard to UI as there are different perspectives among the gamblers and it's really a self explanatory fact that they have to choose or to put this thing into considerations, I believe that it's more n how trustable the site or the sport-house will be and how they handle the client in terms of real-time supports and the competitive odds that they have inside the house, plus the perks and wide scopes of available sports and places that they can cover.

One-stop place where you can sort all those games that you know and wanted to bet with, just an opinion, but the focus is on the reputations and with how the team handles their clients.

That is definitely a good one, and this is how Stake is doing it, they have a sportsbook AND a casino at the same time and they have tons of staff that is working on support, these are all good right? Well, I can still find some tiny issues, sometimes those matter, sometimes they don't. For example, I have always warned stake that they are a premium place, they are making it look like they are going to only cater to wealthy people and that's not bad for their business, that is good for income, but us poor people may not want to play there, that's one.

Another one is the fact that their sportsbook has worse odds than their competition so it looks like they are not going to be preferred when I can get better odds somewhere else. So its not all about just finding a place that does it all.

Before choosing a sportsbook, the sites should be selected well. Not all sportsbook casinos are good. Roulette is a popular online sports betting platform that accepts payment methods without considering the good. Here every gambling site offers different sports betting options. In addition to sports betting, Roulette offers live betting, which allows gamblers to place bets on ongoing games at the casino. Sports betting sites compete for the most. This is why betting experience should be considered before moving forward.

On-chain, no-kyc, a good customer support, league availability, reputation, mobile friendly UI.

Every gambler has their own choices and considerations when deciding to bet on a sportsbook and we must respect each of these considerations because a gambler's comfort while at a sportsbook will never be the same as other gamblers.
Yes, because that's what the Sportbook always gives to its customers so that they become loyal customers and are willing to spend more money to bet on the Sportbook, although there are also some Sportbooks that don't really care about what customers want because what they is just to make a profit without thinking about success long-term.
