SPORTINGBET OPENS CANADIAN WEBSITE
Good to see you back, eh?!
Sportsbetting fans in Canada will be pleased to see the new Sportingbet Canadian-facing website launched this week by the well established and London-listed online gambling company.
The professionally presented and Alderney licensed site comes in a variety of language versions and links to associated poker, casino and backgammon websites, with a $50 new player freebie and a matchplay SUB maxed at $500.
Unfortunately, due to the US government's hostile posture on Internet gambling US residents cannot be accepted. Sportingbet was one of several major listed UK companies that were forced out of the US market by the advent of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in October 2006.
The manager responsible for Canadian operations, Gary Lewis says that the Canadian activity is a part of a major initiative to grow markets outside Europe. “We are very excited about entering the Canadian sports betting market [and we are] committed to offering Canadian customers more of what they want to see: more sports, more products and more promotions,” he said this week.
Sportingbet accepts wagering on 22 worldwide sports, and its facilities include In-Play wagering whilst games are in progress. Major League Baseball and the Canadian Football League will be added at the end of March and June respectively.
“With over four million clients, we’ve more than shown that SportingBet has the sports betting and gaming products for anyone’s taste,” says Lewis.
