• betED Reputation

  Please Note: betED closed on May 25, 2011. betEd originated in the Cook Islands back in the mid 90’s when online gambling was first making its way on the scene and managed to make a name for themselves by developing the first versions of HTML online casino games. As betEd grew and developed, they moved to the Mecca of online gaming, Costa Rica, where they continued to develop their product into the sports betting powerhouse it is today. Powered by Great Bet Gaming Systems, betEd became the first flash-based sportsbook which was the first of its kind and has helped them become a household name within the sportsbook industry.

• betED Poker & Casino

  Please refer to our Top Rated Sportsbook review page for fantastic Sportsbook, Casino, Racebook and Poker Room betting action. Highly ranked brands such as Bovada, TopBet and Sportsbook.com are open 24/7 and ready to accept your wagers. They are all just a click away!

• betED $$$ / Security

  betEd has adopted many strict policies and methodologies concerning privacy including the use of 128-bit encryption of all personal information as well as the promise of not passing on customer details to any third parties. Bettors are always strongly urged to read the fine print!

• betED Deposit Options

  betEd offers a wealth of safe and secure betting options including standard options such as Visa/MasterCard, Neteller, Money Transfer, Moneybookers and their most popular option, IntantCheck. This method has become popular for betEd because it accepts checks online, over the phone and fax with zero fees and a deposit minimum of only $10.

• betED Withdrawal Options

  One very important detail betEd focuses on is their ability to process safe and secure payouts within record time. It’s something that their members have learned to count on throughout the years and our feeling is that if they ever started to slack in this department we’d definitely hear about it. betEd cash out options include InstantCheck, Money Transfer, Neteller, Moneybookers and bankwire. betEd does follow a strict withdrawal schedule from Monday through Friday from 9am to 6pm and depending on the method chosen they can take up to 5 business days.

• betED Customer Service

  betEd’s motto for customer service is “Fast, Friendly and Efficient” and they certainly live up to their name with their 24/7 availability and glowing reviews of their willingness to assist the public. Their customer service team can be contacted via phone and e-mail. We were a bit disappointed not to see a live chat option available, which is generally a hit among many sites in the industry, but we’re told it’s coming soon. Be leery of websites without a Live Chat feature.

• betED Software / Website

  betEd’s avant-guard nature helped propel them to fame with their flash-only software Thrill-X. Apart from focusing on innovation, betEd has also fine tuned their efforts to provide their audience with great service, timely payouts with their quality gaming experience. Unfortunately, their website doesn’t necessarily reflect their image as we’ve presented it but in this case you’ll just have to dig a little deeper to find the gaming powerhouse we all know and respect.

  Their juiciest bonus is their 50% cash bonus which is given only if your first wager wins. This means that if you win $100 on your first wager, you will be awarded an extra $50 which is pretty impressive. Rollover requirements for this cash bonus are 5x in the sportsbook and 10x in the casino. If you’re looking for a reload bonus, they offer 10% cash each time you deposit in the sportsbook with standard rollover amounts as mentioned above. Again, read the fine print!

  These are by far their most celebrated bonuses and can be found directly on their website. After we carefully reviewed their site, there weren’t any publicized contests or big-time promotions which mean that they like to keep their bonuses simple. New members should contact their customer service team for further bonus information. Bank a Bonus – anytime!
