Review: Bwin |
Overview |
| The review and verdict below represent the subjective views of the reviewer at the date of the review. Most likely this opinion will change over time, as bookmakers change their services from time to time. The verdicts should not be regarded as a common views of this bookmaker. Everybody must make up their own opinion about who they are dealing with. Bettingadvice.com can not guarantee the correctness of the informaton mentioned in the review.
|
Opening account |
| Very good procedure. When entering a site for registration, a window pops up, and you’re being asked for the usual stuff (adress, name, zip, etc). you can choose your own username and password, and you can choose you language from 4 different languages. What’s impressive is all the options you have with different settings. You can ofcourse change your personal details on site (password, email adress, adress, etc).. You can set specific settings, such as “Standard bet” (to save time, if you normally bet the same amount on all events), you can choose not to view pictures on the site (“professional mode”), which will enhance download speed, you can choose to receive emails of winning bets, and bets you have played, change date, time, etc. Actually you can change everything there is to change in your account from the website. Highly impressive, and the best I’ve seen from a bookie in this criteria. You’ll even get a welcome mail upon registration, but you don’t get your userid and password in this mail. You can not change your currency once you’ve decided one (although you can’t choose currency during the registration process (but in the deposit routine), I still mention this in this criteria) Not far off 10/10, but could perhaps offer a few more languages ?? |
|
|
Transactions |
| You can bet in a few different currencies, at the time of writing CHF, DM, US$, NLG, ATS, ITL, and Euro. Note that you can only choose the currency once (on your first time transaction). For credit card transfer, you may use Diners (only in US$, Euro and DM), VISA, Mastercard, and Eurocard. 2% fees. Security is state of the art, using Wirecard’s 2048-bitRSA/448-bit Blowfish encryption, which is far better than the standars SSL 128 bit encrytion used by many site (and still regarded as safe). You can also deposit trough bank transfer, Western Union, and by cheques or cash payments. If you wish, credit card payments can be done manually via the phone, instead of trough the Internet. For withdrawals, Betandwin require a faxed, or emailed scanned copy of an official identity document (such as a driver’s license, passport, etc). This is only nescessary on the first withdrawal, and it’s a security in best interest of the clients. Betandwin will pay all charges by their banks, and eventual credit card fees. Only offer chargeback to creditcards, as normal with bookies. Bank transfer to your bank account is offered. Charges from you bank, however, must be dealth with by yourself (for instance when cashing in on cheques). High security, and good procedures. Some may think it’s unescessary to fax official documents about them selves, but this is a part of Betandwin’s Austrian license agreements. It’s 9/10. Excellent with no fees. |

Design |
| Framed site, with all the menues in the top, and left hand frames, and all the essential info in the main frame. Database driven website, which may sometimes seem a bit slow. At least I’ve experienced the site rather slow rather often, even when I’ve opted for the “no pictures” option in the settings. This is probably due to high traffic, but they do use a 3 Mbit connection to the Internet…. The design has been carried out with care, I can see that. Good use of colors, easy to read. |
|
|
Graphics Speed |
| Makes use of quite a lot of pictures and gifs to lighten up the site, espescially in sections like the Magazine. Also gifs in the menu sections. I don’t think the use of these pictures hampers the download time too much, but it’s clear that betandwin makes use of more pictures than other bookmakers tend to do. I don’t think iut’s too excessive though, as the reduced site speed I’ve noticed may very well be due to the heavy encryption of the site, and the database. 7/10 due to some annoyance over download speeds (although this may not be due to graphics !). |
|
|
Bet Procedure |
| First of all: You have a lot of options about how to get to the events. You can sadly not view all odds in one bulk file (not very common, but would’ve been nice to see all soccer odds in one file, for instance). You can view “most wanted bets” (nice option), and the “last minute bets”, which are bets approaching deadline. Very nice. When you’ve opted for a game, or an event, you just mark it, and enter the stake. A window pops up, asking you to confirm the bet. Click OK, or Cancel. If you want to place combos, you just use the combo-link next to each event. Easy and understandable. You can even choose to bet with money, or Arena$, which is a currency which can be changed to the internet currency beenz (and the other way back). Arena$ can be earned trough various ways, but you usually get 50 or 100 Arena$ upon registration. You can change the Arena$ into beenz, and buy stuff at beenz.com. They could perhaps had an option where you get sent an email upon placing the bet. However, you can choose to get emails sent to you with the results of the bets you have made (or just your winning bets), by making changes in the “myAccount” section. I’d say they have a good and easy understandable bet procedure. |
|
|
Service |
| Judging by the look of their help section, Betandwin have really done their homework. Here you can find answers to almost everything you may need to ask about. So far they have impressed me with services like the Magazne, the calendar database (upcoming events), the Arena and Trivia quiz where you can win Arena$, and espescially the myAccount section, which is state of the art. As mentioned under the “Open account” criteria on the top of this page, you may change just about everything on the website. To further enhance their service level, betandwin are working on a WAP-supported website, and a site for PDA’s. As for the crew, I’ve not talked to them on the phone at the time of writing this. Contact info is easy to find on the site. Sadly the tend to set low limits on customers who win a few dollars, and this is a way of saying: “you can bet with us, but if you win, we only allow you to set a few pennies” !!! Due to the excellent features for changing details on site, and for setting personal preferences, I’ll suggest 6/10. |

|
Reliability |
| Bwin is an Austrian public licenced company based in Feldkirch, Austria. They have a 10 year licence for Internet sportsbetting granted by Austrian authoroties. As part of the license a bank guarantee of over 1 mill ATS has been set, to guarantee for liquitidy. The company has just aquired Alpenland, and is expanding in the business. In my view, BetandWin is a highly reliable and respectable bookmaker. I’ve not heard anything negative about them or their service. As an Austrian company, you know what you get. Austrian bookies are generally very solid, and this also goes for this bookie. |
|
|
Odds |
| Not too bad, but they are not among the best in class in this criteria. From what I’ve calculated, their profitmargin varies between 13-15 % on the more known leagues, but I’ve seen down to 17% on lesser known leagues. The odds is acceptable, but could very well be better. They do not slash their odds as often as certain other bookmakers do, which is positive seen from a punters point of view |
|
|
Event on offer |
| Offer a reasonable assorment of soccer, although I do sometimes miss a few of the 2.divs in different countries. Also offer tennis, baseball, US football, motorsports, golf, icehockey, and basketball + specials. |
|
|
Verdict |
| Bwin is a very accomplished bookmaker. But there are some weaknesses. One of them will have to be the odds scale which could’ve been higher sometimes. They could perhaps also offer a few more leagues (soccer). Another weakness is that for customers winning a bit, they will usuallly cut limits, so you are only able to bet rather small stakes after a while. Their service is excellent though, and the site is well designed and easy to navigate. Security is very high, and well taken care of, which is always ensuring for punters. As a punter you can change almost every personal setting on the site, and there are lot’s of “extras” on the site, like result service, trivia quiz,Magazine with sports news, etc. Bwin is a respectable and highly reliable bookmaker, listed on the stock exchange in Vienna, and they hold an Austrian bookmaking license. We certainly have no qualms in recommending Bwin. Written 11.10.2000, updated 11.09.2003 by Terje Grefstad, Bettingadvice.com |

Silver Oak (RM Casino & Slots)
One of the best skins added by Ace Revenue Group in 2008 was Silver Oak. This online casino easily competes with the more established brands by offering high-quality games, a large variety of bonuses, and a selection of other unique features. This casino greets you with an appealing layout that features large, brightly colored banners, highlights of the current jackpots, quick links to promotions and bonuses, and a reel of the most popular games in their library.
Players will find classic casino slot games and table games as well as a mobile casino, live dealer games, tournaments and more when they check out this site. Silver Oak promises an unforgettable experience complete with advanced gaming technology that is the best in the industry. After trying our luck here, we have created the following intimate look at this online casino.
Visit Silver Oak Casino
(US Customers Welcomed) 
Who Can Play
Players from the United States, United Kingdom, Argentina, and the Netherlands, as well as over 50 other countries, are invited to join in on the fun that this casino has to offer. Regardless of residing country, all players must be 21 years of age. Silver Oak currently converts all currencies into US dollars for simplicity purposes.
There are some restrictions to memberships for those in approved countries, however. For the US, players located in Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, and New York are unable to open accounts due to each states online gambling restrictions. Additionally, for over half of the accepted countries, those members are not eligible to claim any free bonuses offered by the site. The list of countries that fall into this category is lengthy and can be found in the terms and conditions. Alternatively, if you reside in one of these countries and attempt to claim a bonus, the cashier will notify you that you are not eligible.
Who licenses this site for online gambling?
The Government of Costa Rica provides licensing for Silver Oak to operate as an online casino. The parent company, Ace Revenue Group, also has offices and licensing through other jurisdictions including the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
What is the user base like?
United States visitors are targeted heavily by this casino. With only a select few reputable US-friendly online casinos in existence, it’s no surprise to us that Silver Oak chooses to capitalize on that. The games and casino client are easy enough to navigate that they are a good selection for new players, however, the various bonuses and larger jackpots which are available make this site equally inviting for more experienced players. If you prefer traditional slot games and video poker, then this is going to be a good site for you. However, if you’re looking for high stakes live poker action, then you will be disappointed.
Banking With Silver Oak Casino
In order to access available banking options for this site, you must download the casino client and access the cashier. Your options based on your location will populate at that time. The overview of banking and customer service only offer a broad description of what you can expect in terms of options and limitations.
What deposit methods are accepted?
Players can choose from a few different options for their deposits including eWallets, prepaid cards, and wire transfer. Not all options are available in all countries.
Debit/Credit Cards
Debit or credit cards branded with American Express, Mastercard, or Visa can be used for deposits only. US residents are encouraged to utilize international-friendly pre-paid cards such as Netspend to fund their accounts. Players may also enroll in the Players Rewards Card program offered through Ace Revenue Group which works as a secure third-party payment option and offers faster payout times and additional bonuses.
- Minimum: $30
- Maximum: $250 per transaction; $1000 per day
Bank/ Wire Transfer
United States residents may use Western Union or MoneyGram to fund their accounts. Both options take up to two business days to be received. Direct bank transfer and Person2Person wire transfer are available for players in all other countries.
- Minimum: $50
- Maximum: $1350 per transaction; $5000 per day
eWallets
At this time, Neteller is the only accepted eWallet option for Silver Oak Casino. The site continues to add new payment options and will hopefully include other popular eWallets such as Skrill Moneybookers in the future.
- Minimum: $30
- Maximum: $5000 per transaction/ per day
What payout methods are accepted?
The payout method available to you will depend on your country of residence. Players who are able to use Neteller are encouraged to use it for withdrawals as well, as it is free of any processing fees. Any player who enrolls in the Player Rewards Card program will also be eligible to receive their payouts through this method. Alternatively, bank and wire transfer are available as well as check by mail. These options may incur a processing fee of up to $40.
- Minimum: $100
- Maximum: $2500 per week
What is the payout time frame?
One of the less appealing features of this casino is the long payout times. Living in a digital age makes us all expect payments as prompt as our deposits. Any withdrawal request less than $200 will go through Express Approval – three business days. For everyone else, expect up to seven business days before your request is approved.
Whether you are express or standard approval, there is still an additional seven to ten days before the casino will issue your payment. Next, there is the payment processing time which is as little as 24-hours for bank wire transfer and Neteller or up to 14-business days for check by mail.
Expect your total payout time to be between 10 and 14 business days. Unless you are located in the US and receiving check by mail which could yield a payout time of up to 30 days.
However, if you choose to enroll in the Players Rewards Card program then you are guaranteed payments within 7 days of requesting.
What is the Players Rewards Card?
The Players Rewards Card is a third party payment solution that could be compared to PayPal. You will link your personal account information to the card which masks any of your own banking information from the casinos you play at. You will receive access to additional bonuses and earn cash back just for using the card at affiliated sites. There are currently about 20 different affiliated casinos which you can use your rewards card at. PRC makes a suitable alternative for players who prefer a simpler eWallet option.
In addition to various rewards and bonuses offered by the card, you will also be able to receive payouts back to the card in 7 days – guaranteed. PRC has no usage or membership cards associated with it.

Who licenses this site for online gambling?
The Government of Costa Rica provides licensing for Silver Oak to operate as an online casino. The parent company, Ace Revenue Group, also has offices and licensing through other jurisdictions including the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
What is the user base like?
United States visitors are targeted heavily by this casino. With only a select few reputable US-friendly online casinos in existence, it’s no surprise to us that Silver Oak chooses to capitalize on that. The games and casino client are easy enough to navigate that they are a good selection for new players, however, the various bonuses and larger jackpots which are available make this site equally inviting for more experienced players. If you prefer traditional slot games and video poker, then this is going to be a good site for you. However, if you’re looking for high stakes live poker action, then you will be disappointed.
Banking With Silver Oak Casino
In order to access available banking options for this site, you must download the casino client and access the cashier. Your options based on your location will populate at that time. The overview of banking and customer service only offer a broad description of what you can expect in terms of options and limitations.
What deposit methods are accepted?
Players can choose from a few different options for their deposits including eWallets, prepaid cards, and wire transfer. Not all options are available in all countries.
Debit/Credit Cards
Debit or credit cards branded with American Express, Mastercard, or Visa can be used for deposits only. US residents are encouraged to utilize international-friendly pre-paid cards such as Netspend to fund their accounts. Players may also enroll in the Players Rewards Card program offered through Ace Revenue Group which works as a secure third-party payment option and offers faster payout times and additional bonuses.
- Minimum: $30
- Maximum: $250 per transaction; $1000 per day
Bank/ Wire Transfer
United States residents may use Western Union or MoneyGram to fund their accounts. Both options take up to two business days to be received. Direct bank transfer and Person2Person wire transfer are available for players in all other countries.
- Minimum: $50
- Maximum: $1350 per transaction; $5000 per day
eWallets
At this time, Neteller is the only accepted eWallet option for Silver Oak Casino. The site continues to add new payment options and will hopefully include other popular eWallets such as Skrill Moneybookers in the future.
- Minimum: $30
- Maximum: $5000 per transaction/ per day
What payout methods are accepted?
The payout method available to you will depend on your country of residence. Players who are able to use Neteller are encouraged to use it for withdrawals as well, as it is free of any processing fees. Any player who enrolls in the Player Rewards Card program will also be eligible to receive their payouts through this method. Alternatively, bank and wire transfer are available as well as check by mail. These options may incur a processing fee of up to $40.
- Minimum: $100
- Maximum: $2500 per week
What is the payout time frame?
One of the less appealing features of this casino is the long payout times. Living in a digital age makes us all expect payments as prompt as our deposits. Any withdrawal request less than $200 will go through Express Approval – three business days. For everyone else, expect up to seven business days before your request is approved.
Whether you are express or standard approval, there is still an additional seven to ten days before the casino will issue your payment. Next, there is the payment processing time which is as little as 24-hours for bank wire transfer and Neteller or up to 14-business days for check by mail.
Expect your total payout time to be between 10 and 14 business days. Unless you are located in the US and receiving check by mail which could yield a payout time of up to 30 days.
However, if you choose to enroll in the Players Rewards Card program then you are guaranteed payments within 7 days of requesting.
What is the Players Rewards Card?
The Players Rewards Card is a third party payment solution that could be compared to PayPal. You will link your personal account information to the card which masks any of your own banking information from the casinos you play at. You will receive access to additional bonuses and earn cash back just for using the card at affiliated sites. There are currently about 20 different affiliated casinos which you can use your rewards card at. PRC makes a suitable alternative for players who prefer a simpler eWallet option.
In addition to various rewards and bonuses offered by the card, you will also be able to receive payouts back to the card in 7 days – guaranteed. PRC has no usage or membership cards associated with it.

BETWAY (real money casino)
If you are looking for a trustworthy, well-run, and fun place to play online in Canada, Betway Casino could be exactly what you are hoping to find. While some international online casinos may be off limits, at Betway Casino, Canadian players are welcome any time.
In fact, Betway Casino, established in 2006, licensed in Malta, and eCogra certified, has become one of the leading choices of Canadian online gamblers. Betway has also become very popular in Europe and Australia. Unfortunately, at this time, no one from the U.S. is allowed to play.
The casino is powered by up-to-date, state-of-the-art, very user-friendly software from Microgaming, one of the most trusted names in the business. The software can be quickly and easily downloaded onto your computer. Or, if you prefer, you can use the no download instant play flash version. You can also access the casino on your smartphone, mobile or tablet app.
If blackjack is your game, you can choose from the classic, Atlantic City, and European versions. If roulette is the game you can’t resist, improve your odds and play European Roulette Gold or French Roulette Gold with a single zero wheel instead of American Roulette with a double zero wheel.
The French style of roulette is your best bet of all for the game due to the addition of another favorable rule. This is the so-called “La Partage” rule whereby if you were to make an even money “outside bet,” and the ball lands on zero, you only lose half of your bet. This is how the house edge stacks up in each of these roulette variations: American Roulette: 5.26%, European Roulette: 2.7%, and your best bet, French Roulette: 1.35%.
But what if you have several numbers you would like to play? You could, of course, bet on as many numbers you wish, but with one wheel, only one number can win at a time. So while you are increasing your chances of winning by betting more than one number, you are also betting against yourself.
Even worse, is the frustrating experience of seeing the same number you bet on and lost with come up a winner on the table next to you. Betway Casino solves both of these problems with Multi-Wheel Roulette, a game that uses one number board but 8 wheels. For each spin, select how many wheels you wish to play, from 1 to all 8. The more wheels you play, the greater your chance of winning, but also, the more money you will have to bet.
Welcome Bonus
Betway Casino, just like most major online casinos today, offers all new players an attractive Welcome Bonus. The Betway online gambling bonus is an exceptionally generous one, up to $1,500. However, you don’t receive the full $1,500 all at once. First, you have to make the requisite deposits; then, before you can make any withdrawals, you will have to show the required play.
