Canadian Sportsbook Review Launches in Time for Super Bowl
TopSportsbooks.ca brings the collective knowledge and insight of numerous gaming space vendors and observers to create a ranking system and research tool to assist Canadians looking to bet on sports online.
TORONTO, ON, February 04, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A sportsbook review site focused on companies catering to the Canadian market launched today, just in time to assist curious, first-time Super Bowl bettors.
TopSportsbooks.ca aims to do what its namesake suggests - review the top sportsbooks and act as a Consumer Report type for players from Canada.
Backed by the same individuals and member companies that support the TopSportsbooks.com site, the Canadian version of the site brings a Canadian perspective to the commentary and Canadian sports to the forefront.
This week typically marks a huge influx of football fans hitting the Internet and searching for information about 'where to bet the Super Bowl.'
"That is a huge search term with google and other search engines and there are some operations that are not worthy of the Canadian bettor's trust or patronage," said TopSportsbooks.ca spokesman Michael Pickett.
While the legal landscape south of the border has moved many operators to decline American players, the situation is different north of the border. The result is that some of the largest brands in the world - publicly traded international firms, ancient trusted sportsbooks from Britain and some of the pre-eminent online brands - maintain a presence for Canadians.
Many sports fans have already been educated about sports betting through their local governments as all run some type of betting schemes through sports lotteries such as ProLine and Sports Select. However, the government-run operations often provide odds that are not competitive with the market, which has created a tide of players turning online for options.
Editors at TopSportsbooks.ca (who work for or around member companies with more than 50 years experience in the field) review 10 criteria in reaching a total overall rank for each sportsbook. There are seven trusted names reviewed as the site launches this week.
Everything from the stylishness of the website to the strength of payment processing encryption are critiqued. Regulatory details, bonus structures, customer service quality and past client complaints factor into the ranks.
Overviews that focus gameplay specifications, contact information and company rules are also quantified and qualified.
Users are also invited to submit their own reviews, which adds to the legitimacy and openness of the site. If a customer had a bad experience, he can relay that information to his fellow players.
"It's to everyone's benefit that the industry be as transparent, fair and upfront as possible," says Pickett. "We hope the site serves the purpose of providing some oversight for the operators while providing important research material for new players who have decided to embrace online gaming."
