Love them, like ya said loads of options. Use them solely for Tennis (Especially set betting) and Calcio 1x2, ah, o/u. No problems from my end here requesting payout. I think they also offer cash bonus on **, bank transfer ecard. I only use Neteller so i did email them a while back and was also able to get a 10% cash bonus on initial deposit. Back about 9 months ago this was.

I have an account, I really like that they have handicap game bets for tennis for all tournaments.

At first I could deposit money via my ****. About a year ago, my bank told me that I couldn't deposit money on russian bookies anymore (I'm from Greece), so I use moneybookers for them.

Well the problem is that I usually want to bet more than their limits, for example a very popular bet for tomorrow is Sweden to beat Hungary (soccer match). I can only bet 200 euros. For Mauresmo to beat Pierce I have 160 euros limit. I know that they are offering nhl, nba and mlb but I don't know their limits, since I don't bet american sports.

I was curious about these guys so I went to their website. I don't have an account there but they do take Neteller with no deposit or withdrawal fees. That's good. However, I see nowhere on the site a 1-800 number. I always figure that if they take Neteller transactions and they have a 1-800 number that they will take US customers. They are batting .500 as far as I can tell. JJ, if you post up there, I'd be curious to know how it goes.

It seems like an interesting website and I know they have been around. I might throw in $100 and see what happens and test it.


Seems like a great Euro book.

Many friends of mine have an account there, no problems so far (besided the CC upload thing). If you normally bet under 100 euros per match, they are okey.

Hopefully they have decent English language e-mail customer service. It took a little while to get someone who speaks English on the phone (and his English was not great).

I also sent them an e-mail and am waiting for a response so we'll see how long that takes.

Still no e-mail reply from Fonbet. That's about 36 hours and counting.

It was the straight yes/no question, do you take American accounts?

If they can't even answer a simple question like that I would stay away. There is no reason it should take that long.

This is the number from the site which I called:

Tel.: +7 (095) 101-4174

The person who first answered the phone was not English-speaking.

Fonbet has an SBR rating of a "C-" ... I've never played there so, i can't really give you an objective opinion on this book.
