Skybet launch new website
Feb 13th
Skybet have launched their new website as a beta preview. The new website is available to all users through a link on the top right of the skybet.com home page. Of course we’re interested in the live betting experience but it’s worth a look at the overall site. It’s very easy to use with a great navigation system on the left and an unusual betslip that sits on the bottom of the page.
The site is fast, clean and simple. It’s one of the easiest sportbetting websites to use and because it is Sky there is a lot of available media, live streams, audio and stats. The main criticism is that some of this content could have been integrated better into the website but this is a minor point.
We’ll do a full review in time, I’ve included a few more screenshots here to give you an idea of what it’s like. You can always Check it out for yourself. Look for the beta site link on the top-right of the homepage.

What is the best sportsbook for live betting?
Feb 6th
At the end of May 2009 I created a survey that you can see on the right-hand column of this page. It was a simple question – which online sportsbook offers the best live betting website. After months of voting by people like you – punters and sports fans – the results are clear. One site stands out from the rest but will they hold that lead through 2010? We’ll see. Read on for more details and cast your own vote in the live poll on the right of the page.
It’s a simple question – which online sportsbook offers the best live betting website. After 8 months the results are plainly obvious and the winner is Bet365 by a long shot. Taking 30% of the vote in a crowded and competitive market is no mean feat.
So what is it about Bet365 that allow them this lead? Why do you like them so much? From chatting to punters, reading comments and from working in the industry and speaking to companies who work with them, the answer as far as I can see is three-fold:
- They do the simple things really well. They have a great range of events to bet on. The site is easy to use and live betting is placed centre stage and has been for some years.
- They think for themselves. Bet365 know what they want and act on it. They don't follow. When the rights to live streaming video were offered to bookmakers 365 were one of the first to offer it to customers. They got maximum value from the deal - punters loved it. There seems to be a simple simple strategy, well executed. Give the customers what they want and keep doing it.
- They move quickly and decisively. Being the 1st to offer live streaming video has more of an impact on the bottom line than being the 10th.
What does this mean? It means you'll get a great experience on www.bet365.com. There's always some sport to watch and you'll get the latest scores for the games that do not have video. You'll be spoilt for choice and looked after well by one of Britain's largest private companies. It's that simple. Except it's not. And that's why their competitors are sometimes struggling to keep up. If you haven't used them, go and take a look...
Skybet to launch new sportsbook in beta
Jan 29th
I had a sneak peak at Skybet’s new sportsbook this week and it is going into beta preview next week (Feb 1st, 2010). It’s looks great and is fast! The navigation is nice and they have broken away from one of the longest running conventions in sportsbook design – the right hand side betslip.
It’s going to be a good year for Sportsbetting. Hopefully we’ll see even more great product launches but keep an eye on skybet.com for the beta preview link.
Live betting: BWIN launch major upgrade to live betting interface
Feb 2nd
I was using the Bwin site last night during the superbowl and I’m still not sure about it. It’s intense or so they say. It’s very good but will it get more players to bet? Need to play some more. I like the background – a tribute to our work on Sportingbet?!
This is what they said:
On Friday, Bwin Interactive Entertainment A.G. will introduce its new betting interface, the company announced on Wednesday.
Scheduled to coincide with the start of the second half of the German Bundesliga, the live interface launch promises to be “more intense” than before.
“We specifically harnessed the power of the Web 2.0 generation in order to offer our customers a live betting experience they have never seen before”, said Manfred Bodner, the company’s co-chief executive, in a prepared statement.
“With its new offering, Bwin is demonstrating its lead, pushing the limits of what is technologically feasible,” Mr. Bodner added.
New features will include the ability to arrange the interface to coincide with highlighted events as well as easy access to relevant game stats.
