BetOnline Review
While first and foremost a sportsbook (previously known as BetOnline.com until 2012) - Bet Online offers a full near suite of gaming options to it's players, a full sportsbook, online casino, horse betting and poker room.
The sportsbook and online casino are well regarded by most players, however the poker room doesn't have the best history - largely from allowing multiple accounts from the same IP and once misrepresenting the roots of their poker network. While these issues have since been cleaned up, for other reasons it's still not recommended specifically for poker. We can't speak much to the racebook, that's the one type of gambling we don't know an awful lot about.
For online casino and sportsbook players this is a great place to play, with around a couple hundred slots to choose from, all your favorite table games, live dealer games, video poker and lots more - as well as plenty of banking options, promotions and more.

Games Offered:
Slot machines are available from multiple game providers, and there's a great selection to choose from. A good portion of the slots do have a minimum $1 bet however, which might not appeal to some lower limit players. There is also the notable absence of progressive jackpots. Still, the variety is pretty good and the slots have a good production quality (for the most part.)
Table games are available for just about any game you can imagine on the felt, lots of blackjack options, American and European roulette, craps, baccarat, let it ride, rummy and more - as well as live video broadcast games for most of them. There are also blackjack tournaments.
Video poker is available in plenty of types - Deuces Wild, Aces & Eights, Jokers Wild, Jacks or Better, Double Bonus and Deuce & Joker, with most available in single hand, 5 hand or 25 hand variations.
Other 'specialty' games include Keno and a variety of virtual scratch cards in a variety of themes. Overall, Bet Online offers a very full suite of well done casino games, especially for a venue that's mostly known for it's sportsbook.
The Sportsbook:
Bet Online offers a fantastic sportsbook - offering betting on just about everything you could imagine in sports, as well as e-sports. As I write this there's live betting available for the NBA, NCAA, the Brazilian NBB, NHL, and Russian table tennis of all things. Chances are, if you want to place a bet on it, you can do so here.
Betting odds seem very fair and are updated in real-time, and game scores can also be monitored directly from the sportsbook interface. The interface is easy to follow, and it's easy to track your current bets versus events.
Poker:
The poker room offers cash games, sit and go and scheduled tournaments, largely with no-limit Texas Holdem games. They do also offer Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo games, but the traffic is sparse and doesn't lend itself to many populated tables other than low-limit hold'em.
While it's our understanding previous problems associated with the poker room have been solved, there's still much better places to play cards.
Bonuses Offered:
Bet Online offers a variety of bonus offers to new and existing players, but the amounts and playthrough requirements vary depending on what you're intending to play and your deposit method. Players depositing with cryptocurrency (i.e. Bitcoin) can receive a 100% bonus on their initial deposit for sportsbook play, other deposit methods can receive 10x for sports betting.
Casino players can receive a 100% match bonus on their first 3 deposits up to $1000 each time, with a 30x playthrough requirement on the deposit + bonus total and certain games excluded.
Poker players can opt to receive a 100% bonus up to $1000 - released in $5 increments for every $50 in rake generated.
Our Verdict:
Highly recommended for those who enjoy betting on sports and playing at the casino. Bet Online has been around for a fairly long time in internet time, has a good offering of betting options and a great interface - and most grievances are out of date and tied to the poker room (which we suggest you pass on regardless.)
