: |
is a competent bookmaker, but average odds combined with a lack of bonuses and choices mean that, for English-speaking customers at least, its existence in such a crowded marketplace seems slightly pointless. |

First Impression
On arrival at the site, you are greeted by a screen offering a staggering variety of languages, indicating that does attempt to live up to its name. The translation is surprisingly accurate by the standard of Internet betting companies, although the support available in other languages is weak. does attempt to put the "world" into "world wide web" with its language use at least.
The site itself is very easy on the eye, with a stylish interface in complementary blues and orange. Navigation is fairly straightforward, although once you go forward a page you can rarely navigate back without using the "back" button. The account screen and options are simple and effective. Overall, the site is both fast (except in Russian, where the alphabet typically slows things down) and easy to navigate, although one suspects this is as much due to the limited content as the good design.
Wagering Options
The sports available on seem to focus mainly on a US market, although there is a reasonable coverage of soccer. Additionally, in all sports, the odds come on the market considerably later than most of 's rivals. This might lead some people to suspect that the odds are being averaged out from a number of other companies and the odds themselves, which form solid value but rarely offer any surprises, do little to dissuade such an assumption.
Signing up is a simple and uninvolved process, except that you need to place a 10 EUR deposit to open an account. Customers accustomed to the US sites, which often offer healthy signing up bonuses, would be disappointed by the lack of bonuses available at the time of writing.
Placing a bet on is a simple process and can normally be done with just four clicks from the home page. Deposit and withdrawal methods are equally straightforward and there are no extortionate fees. Customers with a fetish for paper money will be glad to know that they can also get hold of their winnings through the old-fashioned method of cash in the post.
also features a fully-loaded casino, as well as other options like supertoto and several games that this reviewer has not seen on other online gambling sites.
Customer Service
In terms of customer service, there is an online help system although navigation is a bit fiddly. You can also phone the hotline from 10am to 9pm CET (that's Central European Time apparently) although the standard of response was mixed.
Bottom Line
Overall, there is nothing wrong with , but there also seems to be little reason to recommend it. The range is limited and the odds are average and appear late. Furthermore, its purpose seems slightly confused, as its helplines are based in Europe but many of its sports cater to an American audience. Perhaps its niche could lie with foreign language speakers, although the limited sports available and lack of foreign language support also make this dubious. |
