Review of RaceBook
With its eye-catching interface and massive array of offers, RaceBook is the place to be at if you are looking for a quality sports betting site. It is one of those online gambling sites that is guaranteed to hold your attention. The fact that it has been around for close to a decade - 18 years now since it came into existence - and that it is one of the biggest online sportsbetting sites in the whole world are two very good reasons for you to visit it.
RaceBook is a sister concern of two of the well-known names in sportsbetting - SportsBetting.com and Win4Real.com. All betting at RaceBook comes courtesy of Interactive Systems Inc. N.V. It operates with a license from the Curacao Interactive Licensing N.V., which is the official licensing authority in the Netherlands Antilles. The Racebook.com site is owned by Revitalized, Ltd., a Mauritius-based company. US players are welcome at RaceBook.com, but all players have to be above the age of 18 years to access the games at the site.
Once you are at RaceBook.com, you can navigate to four different gaming locations, which translates to four times the fun at other such sites. You can check out the racebook, the sportsbook, the online casino, or the online poker room. Each of these comes with its own set of promotions and offers and unique points.
The software that drives RaceBook came initially from World Gaming, and provides a range of excellent features. This software also powered Sportsbetting.com and Win4Real, the two other sites owned by Interactive Systems Inc. N.V. You can play the games directly from a browser or download to your computer. Playing at RaceBook requires you to register an account with it, after which you can play for fun or for real money, though not all the games are available when you opt to play for fun.
