Okay, this is where we give you the very cream of the crop. If you’re connecting from the United States, you may want to navigate over to our Best USA Sportsbooks page instead; here we have the best sportsbooks available to the rest of the world…

• Undoubtedly, when you want to play at a sportsbook that has been doing it for decades and boasts zillions of satisfied customers, William Hill is the first and last name in the sports betting business. Aside from reputation and dependability, they’re also winners in the safety and security categories, and among the top one percent when it comes to variety of bets offered.

• In the same league (actually slightly ahead in some categories), Ladbrokes is to William Hill as Burger King is to McDonalds. Responsible and fun, easy to use but offering a huge variety of choices, we can’t think of a single bad thing to say about the sports book. You won’t be disappointed by the online slots they have, either.

• Without the long history of the previous choices, 888 Sport nevertheless has been making up for lost time over the last few years with unbeatable customer support and the undeniable evidence of market share. They’re not going anywhere, and they’re not going to play games with your money.

• Two newer sportsbooks that show plenty of promise are Bet770 and Bet365. We’ve had great luck with both of them, and we’re excited with the direction that they’re headed. Sometimes established sportsbooks are too settled into the accepted way of doing things, and it takes an upstart newcomer to figure out a better way!

• Finally, a quick mention of two sportsbooks that we’ll mention again on the USA pages: Bodog Sport and Intertops. These are the two US-friendly sportsbooks that have what it takes to compete in the World League (so to speak), and well worth considering even if you’re not limited by local legislation.
