Bookmaker

Mobile Site Design

Bookmaker.eu runs a basic mobile betting site. There is no mobile app to download, so you’ll need to visit the mobile site from your browser. However, that also means you never need to worry about any upgrades.

The mobile site design isn’t particularly sophisticated, but it’s functional and it gets the job done. You can navigate to games quickly and get your bets on without much trouble.

We found the mobile betslip easy to use when we tested out Bookmaker for this mobile site review. All the betting options are clear, and the mobile experience is user-friendly, so this site should suit beginners or anyone that wants to place bets quickly.

Security

Bookmaker has been going since 1985 and it launched a mobile site more than a decade ago. We’ve not heard of anyone experiencing any security problems whatsoever in that time. 

The mobile site is protected by a strong firewall, and Bookmaker uses cutting-edge SSL software to keep those pesky hackers at bay. Your personal details will be safe, and you don’t need to worry about the status of your account balance.

Just make sure you get the basics right: don’t put your birthday down as your password, don’t give anyone your password, and don’t leave your account logged in on a public computer. You should then experience no security issues.

Sportsbook

This mobile bookie doesn’t offer bets on many weird and wonderful sports. If you want to bet on Aussie Rules, floorball, handball, bandy and water polo, you’ll need to look elsewhere. BetOnline stands out as a mobile bookie that covers a ton of random sports.

Bookmaker focuses on the main sports and leagues that are going to appeal to Americans. You’ll find all the big football and basketball games, for instance, and it’s generally the first bookie to release its lines, so Bookmaker.eu is popular with sharps.

These are the sports you’ll find at the mobile site:

• Football | NFL, NCAAF, CFL
• Basketball | NBA, NCAAB, WNBA
• Baseball | MLB
• Hockey | NHL
• Tennis | Grand Slams, ATP, WTA
• Golf | PGA, European Tour, Fed-Ex 500, exhibition matches
• Soccer | MLS, Champions League, Europa League European leagues, internationals
• MMA | UFC, Bellator, XMMA
• Boxing | Fight lines, boxing specials
• Motorsports | NASCAR, Formula 1, IndyCar
• Entertainment | TV Shows, Awards Ceremonies

Betting Markets

Bookmaker sticks to three main betting options on the games it features. You can bet on the spread, the total and the moneyline. You can also buy and sell points to move the spreads and totals, and there’s betting on halves and quarters, but that’s about it.

This isn’t the site you go to if you want a ton of props to choose from. If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, choose a mobile bookie like BetOnline, BetUS or Bovada. 

Where Bookmaker excels is in releasing its lines early. It’s often the first mobile bookie to provide lines on NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NCAAF and NCAAB games. Lots of its competitors wait to see what Bookmaker has done and then they copy the Bookmaker lines. That makes Bookmaker a great site for serious bettors that want to bet on big games before the public causes the line to move.

The odds are okay. You’ll get standard juice (-110 / -110, or -115 / -105) on the sides and totals at Bookmaker, but the moneylines are tight and you’ll often find the spreads it provides are generous compared to some rivals.

It doesn’t cover too many sports in depth, but some stand out. For example, you can bet on soccer in countries like Kazakhstan and Kuwait, and it goes down to the third division in countries like Germany. The soccer odds and tennis odds are often great, and the parlay terms are generous for mobile bookies.

Live Betting

There’s a user-friendly live betting section within the Bookmaker mobile site. You can bet in-play on NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, soccer, college football, college basketball and a few other sports.

The basic nature of the design is pretty helpful for live bettors, as the pages load up quickly and you can get your bets on before any lines move. Live wagers are graded in real time and your account you will credited instantly. That’s great, because you’ll get your funds in time to place another live bet without having to wait for several hours for the bet to be settled and paid.

Racebook

The mobile racebook at Bookmaker.eu takes bets on more than 50 tracks from across North America. You can bet on racing from around the world too, covering countries including the UK, South Africa and Australia.

There are no pari-mutuel pools, so you can place fixed-odds bets on races. And Bookmaker.eu actively advertises the fact that it won’t make you fill out a tax form, so you can keep all the profits you make if you bet on racing at Bookmaker.

There’s a cash rebate worth up to 8% on racebook bets for mobile customers too. You get a cash refund of 3% on any losses you suffer on win, place and show bets. That goes up to 8% for exotics like exactas and trifectas. There’s no minimum weekly volume requirements, and rebates are unlimited. You’ll get your cash by 11 p.m. PST every day.

That all makes Bookmaker a great mobile site for horse racing fans.

Casino

You’ll find a basic casino at this mobile bookie. It has a pretty good selection of video poker games, and it also offers video bingo and keno.

There are some fun table games too. You can play classic (European) roulette, double-zero American roulette, baccarat, craps, Let It Ride, Caribbean Stud, Pai Gow poker, three card poker and various blackjack games.

The games are a little slow to load, and the maximum bet is often $100, so they are no good for high rollers and anyone pursuing progression strategies, but they are well-designed and you can play for free in demo mode to learn the ropes.

The slots selection is weak, as there is not much variety and most of the games are a little dated. This could do with a refresh. Bookmaker hosts weekly tournaments for casino players, where you can win various prizes.

Welcome Bonus

You can choose from four different welcome bonuses at this mobile bookie. Three of them are for crypto users and there is just one for anyone using a traditional deposit option like a credit card or e-wallet.

You’ll get a 15% cash bonus up to $600, which comes with a 5x rollover requirement. The rollover is applied to the bonus plus your deposit amount. For example, if you make a $4,000 deposit, your account balance will be $4,600. You’ll then need to place $23,000 worth of bets before you can cash out what’s left over.

Bookmaker will also chuck in a 50% casino bonus up to $1,000 as part of this welcome bundle. It has a frankly ridiculous 80x rollover requirement, and only slots count towards completing the requirement. In short, it’s highly unlikely you’ll get anything left over from the casino bonus, and it probably isn’t worth your time.

There are three different sign-up bonuses if you’re happy to use crypto to fund your Bookmaker.eu mobile account. You can grab a 25% cash bonus up to $300. Cash bonus means the stake is returned along with your profit if your bonus bet wins. You need to complete an 8x rollover on this bonus.

Alternatively, there’s a 50% cash bonus of up to $300 for crypto depositors, but that comes with a 15x rollover requirement, or there’s a 100% cash bonus up to $300, which has a 30x rollover requirement. Once again, those rollover requirements are crazy. For instance, if you deposit $300 and get $300 in bonus funds for the 100% bonus, you’ll need to place $18,000 worth of bets before you can cash out, which is unrealistic.

Promotions

You will join the Bookmaker loyalty program after signing up. Your loyalty tier determines the reload bonus you’ll get when topping up your account balance.

Gold members get 10% up to $400 when depositing in USD or 10% up to $600 for crypto deposits. This has a 4x rollover requirement.

Platinum members get 15% up to $600 on cash deposits and 15% up to $2,500 on cash deposits. That has a 5x rollover. Diamond members get 20% up to $800 for cash and 20% up to $5,000 for crypto. This also has a 5x rollover.

The rollover is attached to your deposit amount and the bonus, so you might decide to avoid it. If, for example, you deposit $25,000 in crypto to receive the full 20% bonus of $5,000, you’ll need to place $150,000 worth of bets before you can cash out. If you don’t manage to complete the requirement, you’ll get nothing.

Banking

You can deposit $10 to $50,000 into your account quickly and easily if you use a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin or Ethereum. You can also deposit between $50 and $2,500 if you use a credit or debit card. Bookmaker accepts Visa, MasterCard and Discover. You can pay in USD, CAD, GBP or EUR.

Another option is a P2P transfer, which is available from $100 to $500. It will be free for more than $300, but fees are variable on smaller deposits. All other deposits are free.

You’ll get a crypto withdrawal every weekday if you like from Bookmaker. Payout requests are processed quickly, and the funds arrive on the same day they are approved. You can alternatively withdraw via P2P, cashier’s check or a wire transfer. They can take three to five days to arrive. The withdrawal limits are broad, but high stakes players can contact customer support to talk about the best options.

Customer Service

You’ll be able to contact the customer service team at this mobile bookie 24/7, 365 days a year. Just use the live chat icon within the Bookmaker mobile site to be connected immediately to an agent.

Bookmaker previously offered phone support, but it stopped during the pandemic, and it hasn’t returned yet. You can send an email if your request is not time sensitive, but live chat is the best option.

Conclusion

There’s lots to admire about this mobile bookie. It has a reputation for delivering quick, reliable payouts. It will often pay out on the same day via crypto.

Bookmaker is also one of the first bookies to post its lines on football and basketball games, and the odds are competitive.

It’s pretty basic in terms of design, but you can navigate it quickly and easily, and there’s 24/7 customer service on hand to help with any requests.

The bonuses sound appealing, but the rollover requirements are too high. It also covers fewer sports and offers fewer betting options than sites like BetUS and MyBookie. Those our only real complaints, as it is otherwise an impressive mobile bookie.
