The world's leading company has been providing betting services since 1998. In 2000, an interactive site for online betting was launched. The site has a Russian-language version, but operates under the license of the island state of Curacao.

The pre-match betting line is not the widest in the world betting, but it is known for its high-quality description of events. High odds are one of the main advantages of Pinnacle. It is most profitable to bet on top European football, where the margin on outcomes is about 2%.

To fund your gaming account, Pinnacle offers a wide range of payment options. It will be most convenient for users from the CIS countries to use Qiwi and Neteller electronic wallets. When withdrawing funds, bettors have to pay a commission.

888sport has been accepting bets online since 2008. The interactive site has a Russian version, and the main target audience are users from Europe and the CIS countries. You can use updated working mirrors to access bets, as 888sport does not have a Russian license.

The pre-match line includes all popular sports disciplines. Typical British and American sports are well covered, and the list of events is standard. In terms of offered odds, 888sport lags far behind the betting industry leaders. A relatively small margin is noted in the tennis pre-match. The disadvantage of the Live section is the lack of live broadcasts.

To deposit money to a gaming account, you can use Visa, MasterCard, Diners Club bank cards and Neteller, WebMoney, Skrill electronic wallets. The minimum deposit amount is $10.

How to choose the best bookmaker for you

The modern better is extremely lucky, because he has the opportunity to choose the right office among several hundred options. In order to decide which bookmaker is better to play at, you need to answer a few questions:

  • What is the purpose of betting? If the priority is to have a good time, stir up interest in watching matches and get an adrenaline rush, then it is hardly worth worrying about the percentage of the bookmaker's margin. Well, if the main goal is to make a profit from bets, then you should carefully study this component and stop at a bookmaker with high odds.
  • What sport are you betting on? It is generally accepted that a wide line is very important. In fact, it is only important that the sport of interest to the player is well covered in it, and everything else does not matter. Do you like to bet on football? So look into the line and evaluate it.
  • What type of bets do you prefer? The same can be said about the painting of sporting events. In most cases, the bettor has a certain playing style and strategy, which includes 2-5 types of bets. See if the types of bets you need are represented in the painting.
  • Do you bet in pre-match or live? Pre-event betting and live betting are two different stories. It often happens that the online bookmaker has a very good pre-match and a disgusting live with low odds and poor coverage. Or maybe vice versa. Be sure to pay attention to this.
  • Are you playing on a computer or phone? Reputable websites have long been acquired by self-respecting companies, but not all of them have been developed yet. Therefore, if you plan to install from your phone, make sure you have a modern mobile version.

Let's focus on the fact that everyone chooses an operator for themselves. What is an ideal choice for one may not be the right choice for another. A bookmaker's office that would satisfy the needs of absolutely all players in the world, a priori, cannot exist. It is necessary to study the main criteria and weigh everything in order to understand which online bookmaker is the best place to place bets.

Key evaluation parameters:

  • Having an official license giving the right to accept bets online. Each of the offices is licensed by the regulatory authority of a state (Russia, Canada, Ireland, Malta, etc.). The presence of a license is a guarantee of compliance by the company with its obligations, including financial ones.
  • Schedule of matches. The best bookmakers offer their users a rich variety of liquid markets, trying to outperform their competitors. An additional plus in the eyes of betters is the availability of bets on statistical indicators.
  • Margin level and coefficients. One of the key indicators that experienced players pay attention to. Usually, to estimate the margin on the bookmaker, quotes are analyzed in the lines for football, tennis, hockey and martial arts. The lower the margin value, the higher the odds.
  • The quality of the Live section. All leaders of the Russian and foreign betting markets accompany live events with infographics and live video broadcasts. Experts also evaluate the level of margin / coefficients, the movement of quotes and the end time for accepting bets on current events.
  • Site functionality. The key features of a quality betting site are an intuitive interface, a logical arrangement of menu items and high page loading speed. An additional plus in the eyes of betters is the availability of a mobile version of the site and official applications for iOS and Android.
  • Fast withdrawal of funds. The user prefers to play in offices with the possibility of prompt and hassle-free withdrawal of money. The minimum list for a serious bookmaker includes VISA / Mastercard bank cards, popular electronic wallets: Webmoney, Paypal, Qiwi, Yandex Money and mobile payments.
  • Support service work. Quickly responsive and helpful support is the pride of most popular operators. The more effectively the support service solves the problems of players, the more loyal they are to this bookmaker.

Today, there are a huge number of sites that allow you to bet on football or another sport. For this reason, selecting the most reliable bookmakers is a difficult task.

To figure out which bookmakers are the most reliable in Russia, we have studied the list of the most popular bookmakers and compiled a list of 10 titles based on the following criteria:

  • Legal work in Russia.
  • Convenient interface and the presence of a mobile version of the site.
  • Possibility to bet in real time (Live-bets).
  • Lots of withdrawal options.
  • Good customer reviews.

All the offices listed in the rating require mandatory verification of users - either by fully identifying the Qiwi wallet, or by providing passport scans and other documents necessary for depositing and withdrawing funds.

Good day, friends, Dmitry Schukin is with you and today we will consider the top 10 best bookmakers. Among a large number of competitors, these companies can be identified as clear favorites and market leaders. Of course, it cannot be said that the higher-ranking office is better in all respects than the one below. Each has its pros and cons, and the bookmaker in the first position may be somewhat worse than the bookmaker in the tenth position. But in general, the rating is compiled according to certain criteria and the current top 10 online bookmakers look like this:

The first place is headed by the leader of the Russian market - a betting company "1xbet". A very strong office in all respects. It takes its place in the top not in vain. Here the line is wide, and the odds are high, and the functionality is excellent. The company really deserves the highest praise. According to official data, the bookmaker has more than 1,000 offline cash desks throughout the CIS, as well as more than 500,000 active online players. Impressive, agree.

In second place is no less quality, and maybe even more - bookmaker « Williamhill". This oldest British bookmaker brand has won the trust of millions of players from all over the world. Excellent functionality, good odds and a line, bonuses for new players, as well as the highest level of reliability make the company one of the world's leaders. However, while in Russia and the CIS the brand has not strengthened and is only gaining momentum, albeit at a very slow pace ...

The third place went to the domestic betting company « winline. The brand, although young, is very frisky in terms of marketing activity and attracting players. They value the office, primarily for its excellent reputation, which is very difficult to achieve at the start of work. Of course, I’m exaggerating a little about the start, since Winline has existed since 2009, but by the standards of other bookmakers, this brand is still very young.

In fourth place, so to speak, is the pioneer among domestic bookmakers - the company "Marathon". They have existed since the distant 1998 and to this day they are very successfully developing their product and attracting many new customers. Among the advantages are a great understanding of the interests of Russian users, high odds and an excellent line. Among the minuses, the design is old, like the office itself, and a slightly tarnished reputation, although most likely, the second has already become only echoes of the past. In general, the office is more than worthy

The golden mean of our top 10 best bookmakers is the company "Pari-Match"- a brand of Ukrainian origin, but also very popular in Russia, Kazakhstan and throughout the CIS as a whole. Just like Marathon, they are pioneers in domestic bookmaking and have been providing a quality product for more than 20 years. According to all indicators, our criteria, the company has ratings above average, and in terms of reliability and bonus policy it occupies a leading position.

Compiling the top 10 online bookmakers, the company « Sbobet", gritting my heart, I placed already in sixth place. The bookmaker is really more than high-quality and reliable. It offers excellent odds and maximum bets, very rarely cuts the accounts of successful players, has an excellent bonus policy, but, alas, is practically not focused on Russian users. Not the best line for us and the lack of Russian-speaking support does not allow the bookmaker to rise higher in the top. In all other respects, Sbobet can give odds to some higher offices.

Seventh place went to a domestic company « Leon» . Being the same age as the leader of our top - the company "1xBet", Leon managed to win the loyalty of a very large number of customers and become one of the most popular Russian bookmakers. A good line, high reliability and a first-class bonus policy of the company make it a very strong competitor in the market.

Eighth place was taken by one of the leaders of the European gambling business bookmaker « SportingBet». Again, you might think that this brand should occupy the top positions of the ranking, but alas, as in the case of Sbobet, the company is not well oriented to the Russian market. But still, it provides its players with a good line, good bonuses and solid amounts of maximum bets. You can’t even talk about a high level of reliability, it is a priori inherent in the vast majority of European betting companies.

Another Ukrainian betting company flaunts in ninth place « favbet». In general, not a bad bookmaker, but during its existence, it has managed to be in various situations associated with a problematic reputation ... Now the hard times are behind, but the perception of users has not yet been rebuilt. The bookmaker offers an excellent line, good odds, focus on the CIS market and a very good functional component.

Top 10 best bookmakers, ironically closed by a company with the name "10Bet. A young British brand that is already very popular in Europe and is gradually reaching the CIS. "Reinforced concrete" reliability and the highest quality of the product - these two phrases can characterize the company without exaggeration. But alas, like some other bookmakers described above, 10Bet is still poorly focused on our region. This is expressed both in a very narrow line and in the absence of some of the most popular payment systems in the CIS. On the other hand, for Russian users, the company offers a very generous bonus of 200 euros, partially compensating for its regional shortcomings.

On this, perhaps, everything. It was top 10 online bookmakers, and its author is Dmitry Shchukin. Over time, I am sure that the bookmakers will rank differently, because, as I have said more than once, in times of very high competition, yesterday's outsider can turn into today's leader in a short time. I also look forward to your opinion on this matter. Leave a comment below and subscribe to my twitter channel. We will communicate more often. Good luck, you friends. Bye!

What is a legal bookmaker?

A bookmaker's office (BC) is a gambling establishment that accepts bets mainly on sports competitions. Bookmaker analysts evaluate the probability of an event and determine its coefficient: if the player's bet wins, its amount is multiplied by the set coefficient, and the resulting amount is a win. If it was not possible to predict the outcome of the event, the bet loses, and the bookmaker gets the money.

Now legal bookmakers work both offline, in the format of betting shops (PPS), and online on the Internet. The addresses of teaching staff in every major city in Russia can be found here, in the section. Cash settlements are carried out at betting shops, and winnings are paid out through the cashier.

However, in modern realities, online gambling is becoming more and more popular. You can place a bet online either on the official website of the betting company or in a mobile application. The more convenient the site or mobile application is, the more chances the bookmaker has to attract new customers.

How to choose a bookmaker?

You can choose a reliable bookmaker for a comfortable game according to different criteria: for some, the size of the odds is important, someone is looking for the best bookmakers with bonuses for new players, and someone would prefer to play with one of the major bookmakers. Each player has his own priorities, so the above order of criteria can be considered random. Pay attention only to the characteristics themselves.

  • . Positions in this ranking are determined by active Legalbet users. To increase the objectivity of the rating, only the votes of real users are taken into account.
  • . This criterion is one of the main ones for many players, because the higher the odds, the greater the possible winnings. The position of the office in this rating depends on the value of the coefficients offered on its website.
  • . If the bookmaker does not pay out the winnings, then it does not matter how high odds the office offers. The player must always be sure: if he wins honestly, he will receive his money. This rating takes into account the reliability of legal betting companies in terms of paying out money and resolving disputes.
  • . The main parameters in compiling this rating were the variability of bets on handicaps and totals in football, as well as the pattern on tennis, basketball and hockey.
  • . Live bets are bets that players make during the course of the event. When ranking the rating, the number of bets during the match, the depth of the list, the speed of accepting and calculating live bets were taken into account.

Basic rules of bookmakers in Russia

Only those bookmakers that have received the appropriate license, have concluded an agreement with TsUPIS and joined the self-regulatory organization (SRO) of bookmakers can accept bets online from citizens of the Russian Federation. The work of betting sites that do not meet these requirements is prohibited on the territory of the Russian Federation. As a rule, such companies accept rates on foreign licenses obtained in offshore zones. Such bookmakers are illegal in Russia, access to their sites is blocked.

Is it possible to play without identification?

As a rule, you can't. Those who are looking for something like " " should know: all bookmakers check the documents of the players. The only difference is that the official Russian betting shops do this before the client starts betting, and bookmakers banned in Russia do this only when the player tries to withdraw the winnings.

Each legal bookmaker sets its own rules and requirements for customers. Some rules are introduced to comply with the laws of the Russian Federation, others are prescribed by the bookmaker to protect against fraud or lawsuits.

Particular attention should be paid to the list of violations of the bookmaker's rules:

  • Minors are not allowed to play betting shops. According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, persons over 18 years old can play in the bookmaker's office.
  • A player can have only one account in the bookmaker. Creating and using multiple gaming accounts may result in their blocking and confiscation of all funds.
  • Payments are made only for fair play. The bookmaker has the right not to pay out the winnings if the player is suspected of fraud. It is also possible to block the account. Abuse of bonuses can also be regarded as fraud.
  • Play on mistakes will not work. Russian bookmakers may not count the winning bet if they decide that the client won due to an error in the line.

In addition, bookmakers do not accept bets from persons involved in a sporting event. Employees of the bookmaker are also prohibited from betting with the company in which they work. However, it is worth noting that this item is individual for each company.

Where to contact in case of a dispute or conflict with the bookmaker?

Each bookmaker has its own customer support service, which can be contacted in case of disputes or in order to ask a question related to the work of the bookmaker.

If you played on the site of a legal Russian betting company, but could not solve the problem with the help of the support service, you can always turn to our site for help. In the presented one, you need to select the one with which the dispute arose, and leave your complaint in the comments to the review of this company.

When choosing a bookmaker, each player focuses primarily on the choice of events in the line and odds. And these are, of course, the most important criteria. The first one provides an opportunity to play any events and not miss a winning bet if the desired outcome was not in the bookmaker's line. The second is designed to provide a plus at a distance, since even having a good passability at low odds, the player is doomed to failure. But as soon as a bettor from the category of beginners moves to a higher level or simply starts playing with a large bank, then such a criterion of a bookmaker’s office as honesty in calculating bets, reliability and a guarantee of withdrawing funds from a game account comes first. In this regard, we want to present to your judgment the most reliable bookmakers on the Internet, in our humble opinion.

1 Bookmaker 1xBet

Despite the fact that the gambling business in the native land is still very young, when compared with European or even Asian traditions, some domestic offices can give odds even to the "monsters" of the betting business. 1xbet can be safely attributed to such companies. The company initially announced that the main thing in its activities is to provide equal opportunities for players of all levels and create favorable conditions exclusively for long-term cooperation with its customers. And I must say that 1xbet keeps its word for more than a year! There is an individual approach to each player, so to speak, the company cares about its customers. The main trump card of 1xbet is a 100% guarantee of payments to all players, even if the winnings are large. Another thing is that 1xbet is not yet able to promise to accept bets of $ 1 million for major tournaments, as Pinnacle once did, but the company openly sets maximums and, within this framework, pursues an absolutely transparent policy.

2 Bookmaker Melbet

Melbet is a young betting company that started its activity in 2012, and from the first days it has loudly declared itself. It accepts bets under a UK license, the company's main office is also located there. Offers a very good line to clients, competitive odds, bonuses, promotions and it's all hosted on a great site.

Recently, I have been forced to leave the Russian market and move abroad, where they completely legally accept bets online. The younger sister remained in the Russian Federation - Melbet Toto, who received a license from the Federal Tax Service and legally works in Russia. Melbet is constantly working on improving its products, quite often the customers of the bookmaker become witnesses of updates or the launch of new promotions and bonus offers. Melbet is deservedly called one of the most reliable bookmakers.

3 Bookmaker Marathon

BC Marathon was one of the first to start accepting bets in Russia, founded in 1997, and during this entire period of time it has been extremely reliable. Reliable in everything, in stability of work, payments, saving personal data of clients and much more. Marathon bookmaker is known all over the world, it owns the largest client base. In Russia, every professional player must be registered in the Marathon.

Bookmaker Marathon means great odds, instant payouts, reliability, prompt customer support, and all the qualities that every bookmaker should have. With the change in legislation in Russia, Marathon was forced to leave the Russian market and focus on promoting its products in Europe. But soon they returned, received a license from the Federal Tax Service and legally accept bets throughout the Russian Federation.

4 Bookmaker Pari-Match

Pari-Match, which represents the most reliable bookmakers among domestic bookmakers, has gained the respect of the gaming public, primarily for guaranteeing payouts of any size, as well as for speed and transparency when working with clients.. The support service of this office always immediately responds to complaints and requests from players, there are no cases when customers would remain dissatisfied. What more could you want from your bookmaker if the payouts are reliable and the service is impeccable, all of which adds up to a daily rich list of sporting events in line with attractive odds? Huge experience in the gaming market and the presence of a bookmaker in several countries speaks of the stability of the company. Payments are made without problems, perhaps a little slower than those of competitors (take from 1 to several hours), but this small drawback is completely covered by the player's confidence in the safety of his funds. It is worth noting that in order to withdraw, you must wager the deposit at least once, but this is not a problem for any client. The positive players are treated quite positively in Pari-Match, the limits are not cut. At least if you play on big markets, then nothing threatens you. Nevertheless, we do not recommend playing arbitrage bets - no one tolerates this, including this bookmaker.

5 Bookmaker Winline

A young, but rapidly developing domestic bookmaker, immediately established itself as the most honest and reliable. This was the reason why she very quickly received a ticket to the “rating of her offices” among bettors. At the same time, the choice in the line and the coefficients will suit even the most demanding client. For now, for many years of work on the market, there has not been a single case of confiscation of funds from the player's account or unreasonable blocking. By and large, Winline is ideal for beginners and intermediate players, but even large clients feel quite comfortable here. Perhaps the maximums here are not as high as those of Asian bookmakers or Pinnacle, but quite sufficient. With regard to plus players, the office is more than loyal. Of course, you should not use the trust of this partner unnecessarily - any fraud or “forks” will be stopped. At the same time, few people can compare on the Internet in terms of simplicity or speed of withdrawing funds, all known payment systems are available.

6 Bookmaker Liga Stavok

It would be difficult to imagine a list of the most reliable bookmakers in the world without such a bookmaker as Liga Stavok. This betting operator started its activity in 2007. Since then, the company has developed rapidly, becoming one of the best and most reliable betting operators from Russia. This bookmaker is headed by Oleg Zhuravsky, who is also the president of the First Self-Regulatory Organization of Russian Bookmakers, as well as the founder and head of the National Association of Bookmakers of the Russian Federation. Agree, under the supervision of such a person there cannot be a bookmaker with poor reliability indicators. This bookmaker was the first to obtain a license from the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation and connected to the Interactive Rates Transfer Accounting Center. All this provided the company with the legality of its actions on the territory of the Russian Federation, and gave its clients guarantees that they would be able to receive their winnings under any circumstances and do not have to worry about the safety of their personal data. In the line of this betting shop there are all popular events, the list will satisfy the average player, there are promotions and bonuses for both new customers and regulars of this office. Frankly speaking, the odds in Liga Stavok bookmaker are not the highest in the industry, however, the huge client base suggests that players trust this bookmaker, first of all, for its reliability.

7 Bookmaker Sbobet

For a short period of work in the European market Sbobet has established itself as the most reliable partner from the Asian region. If you are a profitable player or play for large sums, then you are here. This Asian bookmaker offers an extremely meager line. By domestic standards, we can say that there is no painting at all, however, Sbobet is always included in the rating of reliable bookmakers. At the same time, the odds for the main outcomes (the victory of the first team, a draw, the victory of the second team) are high here, but not the largest in the world. The main advantage of Sbobet is the list of outcomes for odds, or rather for the Asian handicap - here the odds are out of competition. Thus, this is a narrowly focused company whose clients are players with a large pot, but playing only single bets and mainly on the Asian handicap. All this does not make it possible to call Sbobet a popular bookmaker, but it definitely includes it in the list of the most reliable ones. The concept of "cutting" the account is absent here as a fact, the limits are set large, and you can set the limit amount an infinite number of times, the coefficient simply changes. At the same time, the bookmaker represents not only the most reliable bookmakers on the Internet, but also is one of only a few bookmakers in the world that are not against arbitrage bets and allow arbers to play at their place. As for the withdrawal of funds and identity verification, then everything is strict and clumsy. The identification procedure is not so difficult to go through, but the choice of payment systems is limited, and there are no “domestic” currencies, and even a game account in US dollars is not serviced by bank cards! You can withdraw no more than once a day, only through the payment system of replenishment, you will also have to wager the deposit three times! In a word - only for professionals.

8 Bookmaker William Hill

When it comes to the most reliable bookmakers in the world, William Hill immediately comes to mind. One of the oldest operators of the gaming market on the planet has established itself over many decades as an impeccable and honest company. Throughout history, there has not been a single scandal related to the delay or unjustified lack of payments to players. There is no doubt that William Hill is always responsible for its obligations, otherwise this British betting operator would not be included in the rating of reliable bookmakers, according to the majority of players. The only negative is the negative attitude of the bookmaker to arbitrage rates, but this is a generally accepted phenomenon in the world. There may be some restrictions on the amount of bets on painting on small markets, but as for playing on the leading championships on the main outcomes, there is nothing to worry about - they will bet any amount, timely calculation and withdrawal of funds is guaranteed. Also, the unequivocal advantages of William Hill include a very good attitude towards customers from the CIS, which is often a rarity for European bookmakers. “Domestic” players are respected here, and the support service in Russian will solve any problem in a timely manner. With large winnings and withdrawals, the office may require not just color copies of documents, but notarized ones, or your photo with a passport in hand. For the unhindered withdrawal of amounts of any size - this is a small fee.

William Hill Review

As long as you play small amounts or only bet big markets on the main selections, your bookmaker can satisfy you completely. But sooner or later, when you start playing on painting and other small markets, you may encounter restrictions on the amount of bets on this outcome. As soon as you become the owner of frequent large winnings, you can set a personal limit on the amount of the bet. Then it's time to look for a new bookmaker - honest and reliable, which is always on the side of plus players - the above-mentioned offices have been proving their worth and payout guarantees for many years, for which we have listed them in the most reliable bookmakers.
