1. BANKING – Popular banking alternatives with Gambling Sites

To deposit and withdraw money is usually very smooth and simple with most of the gambling sites online. You can do this in several different ways, the money will usually end up in your gambling account very quickly after you click on the button “make deposit”.

If you already have several account with different gambling sites, you have probably already noticed that all of them offer different alternatives for deposits. However, most of them approves of the most common banking alternatives like Visa, MasterCard and bank transfers.

But then the usually differentiate. One of the reasons for this is that a gambling site has a big market share in one country, while another gambling site is bigger in another country. The traditions for how you pay online are different in these different countries.

Here you will find a quick guide for the best methods for deposits and withdrawals that you can use.

Deposit money with one of the following alternatives:
VISA, MasterCard, Moneybookers, Neteller, click2pay, PayPal, Instadebit, Ukash, Paysafecard, EntroPay, bank transfer, Bitcoin.
Minimum: The smallest deposit usually starts at $5 and upwards, but it varies between the different operators.
Maximum: It varies; there is usually a daily limit for how much you are allowed to deposit.

E-wallets
E-wallets are very popular among gamblers; it’s very smooth to transfer money from one gambling site to another. The speed is of course the big advantage, but the fees are the big disadvantage. If you want to transfer money from your e-wallets to your bank account, the e-wallet or the company will to a bank transfer. This will take about 1-5 business days to complete.

Neteller

This e-wallet has been popular since people started gambling online. Its fast and simple to transfer money between gambling sites, but they do charge you for it. But if you are looking for a fast transfer, Neteller is the way to go. The drawback with Neteller is that your account is easily blocked and you would have to contact them and send the various documents to sort it out. Neteller is however a serious player that has been around for a long time.

Skrill

Skrill works like Neteller and is as fast. Skrill, formerly known as moneybookers, is a very good option if you are looking to transfer money from one site to another. The fees are low as long as you don’t have to convert the money to other currencies. That could end up to be a bit too expensive.

PayPal
Most people know about PayPal. They are however not that commonly accepted with gambling sites, but works in the same way as Skrill and Neteller.  PayPal has rather low limits for how much money you are allowed to turn over, send or receive. You can however raise these limits buy using certain identification processes.

Bitcoin
Bitcoin is not one of the most popular or usual methods used for deposits with the gambling sites. Bitcoin is a very good choice if you want to do a fast and anonymous payment. Which you usually want to do when it comes to deposits at a gambling site. Another advantage with Bitcoin is the very low fees.

Deposits with cards
You can obviously use your credit or debit card to do an instant deposit at a gambling site. It is fast, simple and usually without any extra cost. Using a credit or debit card is one of the best alternatives for deposits at a gambling site.

• Visa Credit & Debit
• MasterCard
• American Express
• Maestro

Remember that you can’t use your MasterCard for withdrawals.

Bank transfers
Bank transfers are clearly not the fastest way in the world to transfer money from one country to another. It usually takes between 2-5 business days if you use this alternative in order to transfer money to your gambling account. But, it is, however a very safe way to transfer money, compared to a debit card where there´s actually a small risk that your card information get snagged by a third party.

• No fees and very safe
• The disadvantage is that it takes a long time
• Withdrawals usually takes 1-5 business days

Paysafecard

Paysafecard is a perfect option if you want to pay with a card, but don’t want to use your card and your information. Maybe you are worried someone might try to steal your information in the process.

With a Paysafecard you completely avoid that risk. You can buy a Paysafecard at a retailer, you will get a card number that you then use at the gambling site in order to deposit money. A good alternative for the person that has a lot of cash on pocket, wanting to transfer these to their gambling account.

How do I withdraw money/winnings from a gambling site?
It depends on how you deposited your money. As a rule of thumb, you can withdraw your money the same way you deposited them. If you, for an example deposit your money with a Visa card, that’s where your withdrawals will end up. But, if you made a bank transfer, the gambling site will use a bank transfer to transfer the money to your account.

To be clear, if you use a Visa card to deposit money, you cannot use Skrill or Neteller to withdraw your money. You would have to have made a deposit with these before using them for withdrawals.

How long does a withdrawal take?

You can expect that a withdrawal from a betting company will take about 1-5 business days. Sometimes it will go faster, which will usually happen when the betting company has a bank account in the same country or at the same bank as you.

Trustly – Direct payment
Is frequently used by Swedish clients, it´s direct bank transfers. This is a very smooth way to use when you wish to withdraw money. Trustly is ready to use with several Swedish banks.

• FOREX

Minimum deposit: Normally you would have to deposit at least 10 euro, but it varies from one gaming site to another, some even allow smaller deposits while some demand a deposit that is larger than 10 euro.

Minimum withdrawal: There can also be a limit for the minimum withdrawal amount, it´s usually at about 20 euro.

Maximum withdrawal: Yes, there are also limits for how much you are allowed to withdraw from your account. This is, however easily solved by completing several consecutive withdrawals, if you happened to win big. (CONGRATULATIONS)

2. SELECTION – The Games at the Gambling Sites

Online gambling sites offer several types of games, most bookmakers also offers casino and bingo games. Even poker with multiple versions. Online gambling sites try to offer as wide selection as possible, since the players interest varies.

The vast number of casino games on the market is more than enough, even for the biggest lover of casino games. New casino games are constantly being released and the development is going very fast. This is also where you are able to win the big amounts of money from a very small bet. An example of big winnings is if you play on a progressive jackpot and if you hit the jackpot. In that case a small bet of one cent can turn into millions.

Slots

This is where you will find the largest selection of different games. New slots always pop-up in new shapes, it could be a new TV-show or a new theme being developed by the software companies. Slots are very popular on the gambling sites online, if you love quick action, this is where you should be.

• Jackpot games for those who look to win big
• A lot of famous characters have been turned into slots
• Available at both low and high stakes

Video poker

These are similar to the above mentioned slot machines, but these are about poker, and you have to try to get as many good poker hands as possible. It´s a game that used to be popular at smaller pubs and restaurants back in the day. Which they still are, but since internet arrived many people moved their gambling online.

Table games
Roulette and Blackjack are two classics that can be found in almost every casino in the world. Something that strikes you when you visit a casino is that Chinese people seem to absolutely love roulette. They gather around the roulette tables to bet big amounts. Blackjack is a classic that refuses to die, its frequently played at restaurants and pubs in Sweden.

Poker
Poker is a popular card game all over the world, and now it´s possible to play it with other players from the rest of the world. It´s all very easily done by just pressing a few buttons. There are several TV-shows where the best players are mixed with amateurs and where the winnings surpass what you could ever spend during your lifetime.  This has obviously contributed to the popularity of the game.

Texas hold ´em
This is without a doubt the most popular and mostly played version of poker online. Every gambling site that offers poker also offer Texas hold ´em. In short, Texas hold ´em works in the way that every player gets 2 blinds, 5 cards are displayed open on the table and everyone are allowed to use them. From these 7 cards you need to form the best possible 5 card combination.

Omaha
Omaha works in the same way as Texas hold ´em. The big difference is that instead of getting 2 cards, you get 4 cards. The table will still show 5 open cards, just like in Texas hold ´em. Omaha is available at many poker sites but not even close to being as popular as Texas hold ´em.

Bingo

You might think of old ladies sitting in a group drinking coffee when you think of bingo games. This is not the full truth, when you play bingo online you will find all kinds of people. Even if bingo is close to being as popular as its relatives poker and casino games, there is always an even flow of players playing bingo online.

Lotto

Are you looking to play games where you can win more money than you would be able to spend during 10 lifetimes? Lotto is the name of the game and its building huge pots that one single player has the possibility to win. You can play lotto games from all over the world. As such, you can easily play on the online lotto where the possible winnings are the biggest. Even if you don’t like games that are based on luck, you should make an exception for lotto. It´s possible to win amounts that would make you richer than some sovereign nations.

 

Virtual games

Do you like to bet on football, but can’t stand to wait 90 minutes for the game to finish? Then virtual sports might be something for you?  You will watch simulated sports where the games are over in a minute or so. Another great advantage with virtual sports is that you are able to watch and bet on them 24/7. Virtual sports results are not predetermined, they are decided by advanced algorithms that randomly gives the result of the game.

Virtual sports you can bet on:

3. TAXES – Tax on winnings at Gambling Sites

There are times when you have to pay taxes on your winnings; it depends on where the company is registered. We have made it easy for you, you can find the answer as to if you have to pay taxes on your winnings or not in our tables next to each Gambling Site. Authorities obviously want to have their piece of the pie, and they won’t be happy if you keep your money away from them. We won’t go any deeper into what happens if you don’t account for your winnings in your tax return, but in short, two things can happen to you. You could either be forced to pay a fine, or you will be sentenced to prison for tax evasion.

Let us show you a few simple rules concerning taxes on your winnings.

• Play at Gambling Sites from within the EU
• The taxes on winnings from these gambling sites is 0 %
• You have to pay taxes outside of the EU

 

There are a few cases where poker players have gotten into big problems when they haven’t accounted for their winnings with the tax agency.

But it is actually quite misleading with tax-free winnings. If we use Sweden as an example, the Swedish government takes a large percentage of the turnover of a certain game as a tax. This makes your odds lower, since, after the government has had their fingers in the jar, there is not much left to pay out in winnings. This is actually rather bad for the possible winnings in the long term for a professional player.

Sweden

These are a few examples of taxes that the Swedish government takes from the Swedish players.

Trotting – Tax deduction
V75 – 12,25%
V4 – 12,25%
V65 – 12,25%
Winner & Place – 7%

Betting – Tax deduction
Stryktipset – 35%
Måltipset – 54%

Absurdly high for certain? We let each person decide for himself. But these deductions reduce the possibilities for players who use their skills to win in the long term. If you are looking to start a career as a professional gambler, you should know that this is one of the reasons why it´s difficult to win in the long term. That’s why you should stick to games that can offer the highest possible return.

Great Britain

This is a closer look into how it works in Great Britain, which is a rather open market that is welcoming to new gambling sites, it is however heavily regulated with very clear rules for what gambling sites are allowed to and not allowed to do.

Odds and totalisator games – 15% flat rate removed from the turnover of the game.

4. LIVE STREAMING – Watch & Bet

Several gambling sites offer live games, after you have registered with the site, through their live streaming services. You can place bets and then watch the games live. This is something that has been very popular with the users. Live streaming isn’t for everyone, it’s for the registered members and those who has placed a bet. In order to gain access to a live stream you normally would have to place a bet on the specific game or match. Make sure you get access to the best live streaming online.

Live streaming gives new possibilities to the players

As with any profession, practice makes perfect. If you want to become good and betting or if you are dreaming of making a living from betting, you have to gamble and watch plenty of games.

Quality
The quality of the broadcast is very high and you can expect the same quality as if you would see the game on your TV. You are able to downgrade the quality if you have a slow internet connection, in order to stream without interruptions.

Stream some of the following:
Football: La Liga, Brazilian, Serie A
Tennis: Wimbledon, Australian Open
Basketball: NBA

Good gambling sites with very high quality of their live streaming services.

Unibet – Unibet is in the absolute top when it comes to live streaming.
Nordicbet – Streams many different sports.
Betfred – Streams horse races etc.

5. MARKETS – Is your favourite available?

What is your strength when it comes to betting? Are you good at spotting who will score the next goal in an ongoing game? If that is the case, you should bet on the market for next goal scorer. Or is your skill to, in peace and quiet before the match begins, assess that both of the teams will score at least one goal each? In this case you should bet on the market, both teams to score.

There are several markets to choose from, some bookmakers supply weirder bets, like if a player will get bitten during the game. That actually happened during the World Cup 2014. The best bit about it was that one gambler had actually placed that bet and he could collect at hefty winning from the gambling site Betsafe.

When it comes to markets, you should go for what fits you best, what you know, can be a big difference between you and your friend. Make sure to make the correct decision.

Here is a short summary of what you can place bets on at the best gambling sites.

6. Both teams to score

If you think that a game will end up with both of the teams scoring at least one goal, you should use this market. It´s very popular with gamblers.

7. Long-term bets

Most gambling sites offer long-term for the major leagues, and it doesn’t stop with who will win the league. Another popular long-term bet is who will score most goals. During the World Cup, winner of the World Cup and group winners are very popular.

8. Live betting

What´s more fun than to bet money on an ongoing game?

Live betting is without a doubt extremely popular among gamblers. To sit and bet with your phone on your local bar, watching a game, has made the sports even more interesting.

6. THE SPORTS – Something for everyone

The number of sports to bet on is very big at the gambling sites, but most bets are placed on football, ice hockey and tennis. You can be certain you will be able to bet on your favourite sports at a gambling site. They obviously offer the best sports, anything else would be unwise. Except being able to bet in the biggest and best sports at the gambling sites, you are also able to bet on the smaller and less known sports. Since the competition is so big, the companies are fighting to offer games no one else is offering. That’s why you will find bets on so many sports and events.

Here you will be able to read about what sports you can find online, ready to bet on, just waiting for you.

Football

Football is like most people know, the most popular sport in the world that is being played all over the world. Every gambling site you will visit has the highest number of bets on this sport. It also entails that this is where the gambling sites excels at putting the most correct odds. A good rule of thumb should be; the bigger and more well-known the team is, you should avoid placing a bet. Look in the lower divisions of football where the odds are considerably better and more often incorrect.

12. LICENSES – Legal Gambling Sites

The internet is one big global system that no one owns. But governments will always be governments and will of course insert themselves in the system; they see money that they want to get their hands on. Governments like monopolies since that means they get total control and get to keep all of the profit, but the internet complicated things for the monopolies. The governments where completely caught off guard by the internet and online gambling.

IP blocking is getting more common when states don’t like that certain webpages are put in front of their people. Gambling Sites also use IP blocking to make sure that gamblers from certain countries can’t access their sites.

This can create a problem for you if you are abroad. Let us say you are visiting Dubai and you want to login to your unibet account, this will be impossible since the United Arab Emirates has blocked unibet. You can fix it by using a VPN-tunnel. It will make it look as if you are accessing the gambling site from a different country. You can do this I you already are a client of the company and you want to play even though you are abroad. This shouldn’t be done by other people who are living in countries where gambling is illegal.

13. AROUND THE WORLD – Gambling Sites in the world

The amount of gambling sites around the world is enormous and constantly growing. But they are based in several different locations; some places are more attracting than others. The reason is obviously licenses being issued by certain states; the other important factor is taxing. Malta and Gibraltar are two locations where both Swedish and English gambling sites are based from.

Swedish Gambling Sites

There are a couple companies that are presenting online gambling that could be described as Swedish gambling sites. The larger ones are Betsson, Nordicbet and Unibet. These where founded by Swedish entrepreneurs, but haven’t been built in Sweden since it wasn’t allowed when they started their operations. The Swedish government has had a monopoly on gambling and offered their games through their company Svenskaspel. Instead these (Swedish Gambling Sites) has been forced to go abroad to offer their services to the Swedish people. Betsson was a forerunner in Sweden when they opened a shop on Södermalm in Stockholm, they were, however forced to shut it down.

English Gambling Sites

The largest English gambling sites are without a doubt Ladbrokes, WilliamHill and Betfred. There are plenty of betting shops in England and the UK, just go inside and place your bet. That is however not the case in most parts of Europe. Many places have very few gambling sites and the ones that exist are owned by the government. The English gambling sites have a long experience since the market has been active for such a long time.

Illegal Gambling Sites

What is an illegal gambling site? You can say that an illegal gambling site operates without a license. If you are gambling at such a company you are risking getting into trouble if they refuse to pay out your winnings. They are not subjected to any rules and can be difficult to deal with if any problem arises.

 

14. THE FUTURE – New and Old Gambling Sites

They weren’t that many in the beginning, but things went fast and suddenly they were everywhere. We are obviously talking about new gambling sites, and new ones keep turning up. There are several gambling sites that aren’t up to standard and they disappear rather fast. Others are bought by the larger companies and ends up in the hands of the betting giants.

It´s more difficult with a new gambling site since they have a very short history. A good tip is to keep yourself up to date here, if we get reports that a gambling site is acting dodgy, we will make sure to remove it from our gambling guide.

No Bonus: You might have expected a bonus on your deposit but did not receive any. This may be due to an error of the gambling site or you haven´t met the requirements to get it.
