been using 24hpoker.com's sportsbook to bet the world cup as the odds seem ok compared to some other books just wondered if anyone has any experience with them good or bad....pretty sure they are swedish

[bigboydan]

i really don't all that much about this book. i do know that it's very popular with scandinavians and europeans, and located in Gibralter. also, if i remember correctly they were established in the early 80's.

yep been playing poker there and they offered me 50 euro's and the soccer oddes are much better than betjam and lads....must be a small bk as never here anyone using them but so far am impressed by soccer odds, prob not as good as pinny though

[bigboydan]

this book is for more of the recreational type player.

They have the right kind of software for me. Website is simple and fast. Decent amount of sports and events covered. I've always received my wihdrawals promptly. Only problem would be the limits (again) . You seem to be able to bet rather large amounts in World cup though.

They have never been in Gibraltar as far as I know, only Malta and Estonia.

i know there licensed by the lottories and gamming authority of malta. but i thought they were based was in Gibraltar. i could be wrong on that, so i'll have to check into it a bit more.

diamond, what part of the business is in estonsia ?


i see some have their business seems to be split up all over the place. there CS in Syngapore Ot canada with server in CR with a bank in the UK.

heres what i happen to find on them at PRR's site in regards to there review they have on them:

24h Poker is a site with large traffic, and is very popular with Europeans, especially Scandinavians, but I found the Java platform to be unstable, incompatible with other poker room software, the graphics and interface to be primitive, and ultimately tiring. Everything moves slowly, and there is no player clock to speed things up. The table view is bare bones. Support is also slow. They offer a large selection of games, and it is reputed to be a premier site for 5 Card Draw. It is available to Mac and Linux users. Note: 24h Poker only deals in Euros, so it is a good idea to know the latest conversion rates

That must surely be wrong, started sometimes in the 90s. The owner bought up old Australian "Unitedbet", and renamed it after a while 24hbet, which later turned into 24hpoker when they decided to put more money into the poker than the sportsbook. The pokerclient has been bought by other companies afterwards, and proved quite popular.

But as I say, they did not exist since 1980, thats wrong. Even look at this from text:

"Support is also slow"

then further down: "E mail response speed: reply, excellent, 6 minutes, answered question fully "

Doesnt match does it?

Before everything regarding the poker was located in Estonia, not sure if it moved partly to Malta know. But poker support has been in Estonia. Also they make prices for the sportsbook over there.
