BETCITY- The office was founded in 2003, and is actively developing after the legalization of its activities, joining the TsUPIS in 2017. Our own analytical department works out the line qualitatively and deeply, which translates into the ability to bet on almost any sport and competition. The list is very detailed, it stands out from the rest with a huge offer for statistics, performance of athletes (in team events) and combined bets. In addition, there are many unique markets that are not represented in other bookmakers.
The average margin level is in the region of 5-7%. If these are popular championships, then it is very low - about 3%, which is extremely rare. Moreover, if some outcome is not in demand, the margin on it is not increased, as most bookmakers do. In this regard, the odds are very pleasant, especially on the TOP events. Usually the opposite, but here the company is very happy.
Live stands out with a good offer - otherwise, these are the same features that everyone is used to.
There are many ways to deposit / withdraw funds - all known electronic wallets, bank cards, mobile operators and the Moneta.ru service. Not all legal offices have such variability. In general, BetCity is a pleasant bookmaker that is developing rapidly.
2nd place
Winline– an office with acceptable odds and a good selection of bets. The live platform is inferior to the leaders in terms of event coverage, but it cannot be called meager. For that, the painting on many sports, in particular tennis, contains markets that competitors do not have.
The minimum deposit is 500 rubles, which scares off many novice players. There are no problems with the withdrawal of funds, I am pleased with the promptness of the withdrawal.
The bookmaker is loyal to the success of customers. There were no unreasonable blocking and account cuts.
3rd place
Liga Stavok is the first bookmaker to legally accept bets online. It is especially popular in Russia, because it has not only a modern website, but also a developed network of clubs throughout the country.
The bookmaker correctly accepts bets on football and other sports. The live betting platform is well designed and user friendly. Allows you to quickly and comfortably place bets, as well as watch several events at the same time. There is both a mobile version of the site and an official app in the AppStore.
There is no minimum deposit amount. The commission is withdrawn only when replenishing through a mobile phone. All available payment methods are available, including terminals, Yandex.Money and WebMoney. Payments are made within 1-5 days, but before that you need to go through verification - confirm your identity.
4th place
Olympus is a bookmaker that appeared in Kazakhstan in 2004. The company entered the Russian market in 2012. Legal activity started at the end of 2016. The site of the office is located in the domain zone.bet. The design is unusual for a web resource and is more suitable for tablets, so it will initially be inconvenient to use the site.
The line of the office presents popular sports disciplines and competitions, including the second and third leagues. We note the offer for eSports, which has a wide selection of tournaments.
The company cooperates with almost all popular payment systems and mobile operators. Depositing or withdrawing winnings is not a problem. The minimum deposit is 100 rubles. There is no bookmaker commission. Operations are carried out instantly, except for withdrawal to a bank card - 1-3 business days.
The level of coefficients is average. The margin is 3-10% depending on the sport, event and outcome. In live, the margin increases to 7-10% and higher. In terms of the number of live matches, the bookmaker falls short of the market leaders in this segment, however, we highlight the positive dynamics of the increase in events and markets. The painting is of high quality, but without unnecessary and unnecessary outcomes, the same as in the prematch. Olympus offers high betting limits and an extensive line. Although the quotes are average, the margin on the TOP events does not exceed 3-5%.
5th place
Parimatch– the office opened the acceptance of bets at the end of spring 2017. The company stands out for a number of useful features. CashOut - the ability to cancel the bet and save part of the funds, or even get a guaranteed profit. Odd order and VIP bet - allow you to bet on your own, more profitable odds, and bet more than the allowed limit.
Deposit and withdrawal is available on Qiwi and Yandex.Money, Visa and MasterCard cards, Moneta.ru service. WebMoney wallet is not supported yet. Also, the payment can be received in cash, thanks to the cooperation of the company with Bank Transfer. Bookmaker commission - 0%, except for the tax on winnings in the amount of 13%. The office has promotions and a loyalty program that are aimed at regular customers.
In terms of coverage, the line loses a little to the leaders. This is especially evident in youth and regional tournaments. For that, according to the painting, the office is not inferior. Over 1000 options are offered for popular events, many of which are unique.
The margin is acceptable - 5-6%, including in live, but before the start of the fight, it drops sharply to 2-3%. Basketball stands out in a negative way - the pattern is variable, but the margin for this sport reaches 10%.
The disadvantages include a limited live service. Broadcasts are not always available. There is no graphic support for matches.
6th place
Fonbet is a bookmaker's office, which is a partner member of the Second TSUPIS, created on the basis of Qiwi-Bank. It has been accepting bets for more than 20 years, it is famous for its wide network of betting shops - over 1000 clubs across the country. The office stands out by creating quotes on its own, and not just tearing the line from others or using average values around the world.
A unique live platform deserves special attention - one of the best not only among domestic bookmakers, but also among foreign ones. More than 1.5 thousand events per day, a variable list, which contains many interesting outcomes.
Funds are credited to the balance instantly. The available minimum is 100 rubles, the same is the minimum withdrawal amount for Qiwi. Withdrawing less than 1 thousand rubles to a bank card will not work.
Fonbet mobile applications allow you to place bets anywhere - if only there was the Internet. Navigation is convenient, loading is instant, without delays that are in the mobile version. Almost all functions are available, as in the main version of the site.
Betting limits are acceptable, both maximum and minimum. Set individually for each event. The lower threshold is several tens of rubles, while the upper one can reach a million, but this is in exceptional cases. Usually it is 200-300 thousand rubles.
In general, the bookmaker has a good reputation built up over decades. Suitable games are always available in the line, and the odds, although not the highest, really reflect the chances of the teams.
7th place
1xStake is an absolutely legal website of a dynamically developing company that has begun active promotion not only on the Internet, but also offline.
For many events, a detailed schedule is provided, with the main focus on handicaps and totals. Usually, over 500 outcomes are available in a top match.
Bets on the site can be made not only on the well-known football or hockey, but also on exotic sports (car racing, snooker, snowboarding), as well as events from the world of e-sports.
The platform for Live betting is convenient, but it “eats” a lot of traffic, which is inferior to Liga Stavok bookmaker. The advantage is the availability of online broadcasts of most games. The odds are average, but for that they are increased in the matches of the day.
8th place
Leon is a bookmaker that joined the legal number of bookmakers recently, but during this time managed to take the forefront. Bonuses and promotions immediately stand out - no bookmaker has anything like it.
Registration is quick and easy, as is identity verification in principle. The account is linked to the QIWI wallet, and if it does not exist, it is created automatically upon registration and identification.
The minimum bet is only 5 rubles, but the maximum can reach 600 thousand or more. Coefficients and painting will satisfy everyone. The line is wide, but not oversaturated with exotic sports.
9th place
bwin The bookmaker was founded in 1997 in Austria. The company independently developed live bets, which became a milestone in the development of its site. Previously, the office was called "Betandwin", but in 2006 it received its current name. At one time, the company was a partner of TOP clubs (Milan, Real Madrid).
The bookmaker has a user-friendly website. We note a detailed and unique section of statistics, which saves time in analyzing matches. A noticeable drawback for domestic players will be the lack of the usual handicap in football.
Almost all sports are represented in the BC line. In addition to sporting events, bets are available on entertainment, culture and politics. The line is worked out to the lower leagues and amateur competitions. The proposal is developed by its own analytical staff, which adheres to the chosen opinion, even if it differs significantly from the quotes in the market.
The odds are not high. Even for the best football championships in Europe, the margin is 5-7%. For medium leagues - 7-8.5%. The strength of bwin is live. The platform is handy with many matches to bet on. There are no broadcasts yet, but they are compensated by high-quality infographics and a match tracker.
10th place
Melbet is a good office, but inferior to the market leaders in many positions. However, there are still several parameters that the bookmaker has on par with the best companies.
The line is worked out deeply - most competitions and disciplines are represented, including unpopular ones. The painting is variable, even too much. In the list of outcomes, you can choose the best option that best suits the forecast - from combined bets to betting on game scenarios.
The website and mobile version are convenient, but there are no applications and live broadcasts.
Odds are high, but only for TOP tournaments and sports. It is better not to bet on low-demanded competitions, because the margin sometimes reaches 10%.
11th place
Marathon is a bookmaker that appeared in Russia in 1998. Legal acceptance of betting started in the summer of 2017. The company is a partner of FC Manchester United, Dynamo Moscow, Malaga and other teams.
The line appears one of the first. The analytical department is working on the preparation of the proposal. The line is full of different sports and competitions, including local and junior tournaments. The painting is of good quality. There are an average of 140 markets offered for TOP matches. The advantage of painting is a very variable line when buying and selling points by total and handicap.
The absolute advantage of Marathon is one of the lowest margins among legal betting shops. Moreover, the coefficients are high not only for popular disciplines, championships and markets, but also for all others. For example, the margin for the top five football championships in Europe is 1.5% for the outcome, total and handicap, and for the middle leagues - 2.5%.
Live has almost all current events. A re-transaction is possible with a decrease in the limit and coefficient, and sometimes it is impossible at all. Quotes in live are lower than in prematch (the margin increases by 1.5-3%). Such a margin allows you to earn more with identical traffic indicators than in other offices.
12th place
BC Mostbet is a young but extremely ambitious bookmaker that entered the market only in 2018, but has already managed to gain a certain audience, which is growing every day. Of course, the company is part of the TsUPIS and has a license to operate in the country.
The official website of the company has a concise interface that is convenient to work with. And although Mostbet is still inferior to larger companies in terms of betting lines, there is something to work with here, popular championships have a fairly wide range and competitive odds.
The bookmaker places special emphasis on e-sports as one of the most modern and progressive disciplines. In this matter, he even surpasses many more eminent companies.
This is the case when it makes sense to look at a start-up company that is moving in the right direction and, I think, will still declare itself.
13th place
Vulkanbet is a bookmaker with an excellent offer for eSports, but the coverage for other disciplines is poor. The platform for live betting is not fully developed. There are no broadcasts and even infographics. There are also no mobile applications, but they are compensated by a high-quality mobile site. The odds are average.
In the office, you can go through remote identification. Also, the advantages include a fast support service, no tax on winnings and the ability to withdraw funds to the account of a mobile operator.
14th place
Zenit is a bookmaker that appeared in 2010. Legal acceptance of betting began in the fall of 2017. The site of the office is located in the .win domain zone, but it is still completely legal, because the office is part of the Bookmakers SRO, is connected to the TsUPIS and has a license from the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation.
In many ways, the Zenith line copies the Betsity proposal, but does not repeat it completely. Not all sports are covered. There are no bets on eSports, political and cultural events. However, painting on popular disciplines is of high quality, there are even unique markets.
The odds for TOP matches include an insignificant margin - 2.5-5%, but in other matches, the value increases to 8% in pre-match and 11% in live. There are no broadcasts and infographics in live. On the event page, only the current score and the time of the match are shown.
There are no apps or a mobile version of the site. Promotions and bonuses are not yet available. The company pays more attention and time to accepting bets offline, so online is still scarce.
15th place
Tennis - the office appeared in 2000 in Russia. Legal acceptance of bets began in the fall of 2017 in the .bet domain zone. The company pays taxes instead of bettors.
The line and painting is completely the product of the bookmaker, which is created by the forces of its own analytical department. Specialists come up with many unique markets, but sometimes they do not cover absolutely all matches and are slightly inferior to competitors in this parameter.
The list of statistics is one of the most extensive. There are unique offers for individual matches, performance of athletes and game day/tour statistics.
Quotes are average. The margin is in the range of 5-10%, but for popular events it drops to 2-4%, even in live. The live platform itself is meager, with simple broadcasts and no graphic support. Sometimes bets are not accepted automatically, but are sent to the trader for approval.
There are apps for Android and iOS that make up for the lack of a mobile version of the site. New players get a bonus of 500 rubles with simple wagering conditions. There are regular draws and special offers for regular players, for example, a 3% cashback or an accumulator bonus.
16th place
Baltbet - the office was founded in 2003, and the legal acceptance of bets began in 2017. The company is not a leader, but it has a number of unique features, which allowed it to win a lot of players.
The bookmaker stands out among legal competitors in that it is going to cover the tax expenses of customers - in other words, BaltBet wants to pay tax instead of you. In addition, this office is also suitable for foreigners who can play here. True, they will have a tax of 30, not 13 percent. This is the only institution in Runet where a non-resident of the Russian Federation can bet, of course, legally.
Analysts of the company are working on the line on their own. The main preference is given to domestic sports competitions, but this does not mean that sports and championships that are in demand are left without attention.
A good offer for e-sports stands out - a detailed line and a variable painting. The odds are above average, the margin is quite acceptable, as in other sports - an average of about 7%.
Payment systems supported by BC - Qiwi and bank cards (Visa and MasterCard). Even though there is no possibility to use other methods, this is not a problem - Kiwi is replenished in many ways. Only a few offices offer more deposit / withdrawal options, and the presented set is standard for legal bookmakers. Now BaltBet is only consolidating its position, and since the competition is strong, the company will develop in every way to retain its customers and win new ones.
17th place
888.ru- this is the site of the betting company 23BET RU, designed for legal bets on the territory of the Russian Federation. In no way associated with 888 Holdings and the resources of this holding.
Events are given odds slightly above average. The minimum deposit and the lowest bet are 10 rubles. The maximum bet size is adjusted separately for each game.
Official website of BC “888.ru” The list of matches before their start, as in the Stavok League, covers most of the planned competitions. Basically it is football, basketball, tennis and hockey, but there are also little-known sports: surfing, sumo, curling, Gaelic football and others. Moreover, not only the major leagues of the championships are available, but divisions of the third level and below.
18th place
Bingo Boom is an office that appeared in 2011, but began accepting bets legally in August 2017. The company develops sports betting under the Sport Boom brand. There is an opportunity to participate in gambling for money. For example, in addition to classic poker, there is a sea battle, thanks to which you can also earn money.
Line and painting - the average level. A wide selection of totals and handicaps. Quotes are also average. The margin fluctuates around 5-10% in pre-match and 7-10% in live. There are no smartphone apps, but there is a mobile site where you can bet, make a deposit and request a payout.
A significant and noticeable advantage of "Bingo Boom" is the absence of taxes for players. The office independently pays a tax of 13% from the winnings instead of clients. New users are given a bonus of 500 rubles for the first deposit.
19th place
GG.Bet is the first legal bookmaker that specializes in esports. At the same time, bets are available on other sports with acceptable conditions.
The advantages of the company are a narrow specialization, due to which players receive favorable odds, high maximums, a variable lineup and a wide line for eSports.
In addition, the office has a simple and convenient website where you can easily and quickly place a bet. There is a useful section with the results of esports competitions, including all outcomes that could be bet on GGBet.
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.

The most reliable bookmaker in Russia appeared in 2007. It features a low deposit, the ability to bet the entire amount of the free bet (welcome bonus) and a wide withdrawal option - from a bank card to mobile payments, electronic wallets and cash withdrawals in Svyaznoy and Euroset stores.
In the arsenal of the "League of Stavok" there are over 20 sports disciplines. European football tournaments are the most widely represented in the betting line. Odds on bets are not higher than most other bookmakers.
The classification of all bookmakers is carried out according to two parameters: the legality of activities on the Internet and the format for accepting bets - online or offline, that is, through physical betting shops.
Since the summer of 2016, conditions have been created for legal work online. The offices were offered to create self-regulatory organizations, and the betting community slowly began to move from the offshore "shadow" to the legal field of work. All financial transactions in legal bookmakers go through the TSUPIS, which allows the state to control financial flows in the field of sports betting, and players - a high level of security.
Offshore bookmakers, in parallel with the emergence of clear rules for regulating the online betting sector by the state, received a painful blow from Roskomnadzor. Their domain addresses and numerous mirrors were blacklisted and blocked, which created many problems with access to sites for clients of such bookmakers.
Despite the ways to bypass blocking, more and more bettors are moving to legal betting shops, as the authority of offshore offices is falling every day - they do not give any guarantees, create obstacles to receiving winnings, if the bettor goes to the "plus", they do not always fulfill own obligations.
Most bookmakers operate simultaneously via both the Internet and in a land-based format, but if earlier betting operators were more focused on creating an extensive betting shop network, now the online segment is becoming more significant and attractive. There are also a number of online bookmakers. For example, specializing in live betting.
In conditions of high competition in the sports betting market, bookmakers are trying to develop the main component - the betting line. In addition to sports betting, in bookmakers you can bet on events from the world of culture, cinema, politics.
Betting on the results of the US presidential election was hugely popular, when Donald Trump sensationally defeated Hillary Clinton, which led to a surge in the popularity of political markets. Also, bets on the series "Game of Thrones" are of great interest to the bookmaker's clients.
Increasingly popular e-sports has become a good addition to the betting line - bets on the results of matches of e-sportsmen who compete in the ability to play computer games over the network - CS: GO, Dota 2, Starcraft, League of Legends and others. Now a rare bookmaker does without an eSports line, as this betting segment is developing by leaps and bounds and allows you to cover the category of people who are not interested in classic sports, but who are gambling enough to bet on eSports.
They also change every year. New markets appear, and the line itself grows to incredible sizes due to new creative types of bets. With the advent of betting companies that provide timely and accurate statistics, bets on corners, cards, possession percentage, shots on goal and fouls stand out in a separate segment.
Also, combined types of bets appear in bookmakers, which were considered impossible just a few years ago. For example, now you can bet simultaneously on the fact that the match will have a total of more than 2.5 goals and “both teams will score”, or combine bets on the total and the main outcome. Some bookmakers, in an effort to stand out, even offer bets on the position of goal scorers, the sum of minutes scored, or a combination of goals scored and corners taken.
In general, the development of the betting market goes along the path of improving the quality of the line and the functionality of the bookmaker's websites, which, of course, is in the hands of the players.
Bookmakers offer approximately the same types of services, and it is not easy to surprise customers with something now. To attract new and retain existing customers, bookmakers often come up with profitable and effective promotional and bonus offers.
For example, at the beginning of this summer, BC "Leon" launched the "Summer Marathon", the prize fund of which totals 750 thousand rubles (250 thousand for each month). Every month 70 winners will be determined. It is necessary to make at least one bet per day for a coefficient of at least 1.80 with an amount of 500 rubles or more during the entire calendar month. You will earn points for winning bets.
But Fonbet launched the Preferential Express campaign. This offer includes insurance in case of loss. This offer can only be used once. According to the terms of the promotion, you need to include at least 6 events in the express with a coefficient of 1.60. If you use "safety net", in this case the amount will be returned to you.
BC Pari-Match has launched the CashOut function. It represents an early receipt of winnings at a bet. Now you do not need to wait for the end of the event to receive your winnings. For example, if you bet on the away team to win at odds of 2.00 and that team scores one goal, then the quotes will drop to approximately 1.50. You can choose the CashOut function and then you will receive your winnings at a factor of 1.50. And no matter how the match ends, no one will save you from winning.
What is the difference between modern sports betting operators, except for the line and latitude of the mural?
First of all - the margin and the value of the coefficients. This indicator should be evaluated as a whole, as it happens that even within one match it floats - for some types of bets (total, handicap) the margin is lower, for others it is slightly higher due to the fact that, for example, on the main outcomes, the margin difficult to estimate "by eye" without a special calculator.
It is unprofitable for bookmakers to compete in the value of odds. The margin directly affects the stability of income, therefore, by default, Russian bookmakers do not offer quotes with a margin below 5% - only occasionally odds at the level of 1.98-1.98 can be seen in the line or, but only occasionally, on selected markets.
Bookmakers willingly bombard fans of express bets with bonuses, since this type of bet is a priori very profitable for bookmakers and bookmakers want players to bet more often on several outcomes at the same time. Welcome bonuses are often accompanied by a strict policy of checking new user details for abuse by bonus hunters who open multiple accounts. Bonuses should be considered entertainment, an interesting quest, but not the main parameter for comparing bookmakers - nevertheless, the value of the coefficients and the breadth of the line are much more important for a successful game.
At the present stage of development of the betting market, there are many organizers of sports betting. To some extent, competition is good for cappers, because it is possible to choose a bookmaker that suits them. The rating of bookmakers allows you to quickly decide where you can register and bet on sports.
Domestic bookmakers often say that they set themselves the goal of entering the international market, however, in reality, this does not always turn out to be a reality. At the top of the ranking are only the most worthy bookmakers.
If we talk about the selection criteria, then the following should be highlighted: work experience, line and signature, coefficients, reliability, language support, site functionality, support service, betting limits, methods of financial transactions, charity, bonuses, software software.
Of course, each bookmaker has both its advantages and disadvantages. For example, Ladbrokes, founded in 1886, has no equal in work experience. In Russia, the most experienced is Fonbet (1994). If we talk about the line and coefficients, then Marathon is in the leading positions here, however, if this company ever declares itself bankrupt, no one will remember it tomorrow, but such a situation cannot be imagined in the case of William Hill. If you are determined to bet in the long term, then you need to take into account all the criteria in order to choose the most reliable company, or trust the rating of bookmakers.
Before you start betting on sports, you must know the rules of the bookmaker where you will do it. Rules are everywhere where financial transactions are made. Knowing the rules, you will be protected from a legal point of view and you will be sure that you are doing everything right.
It often happens that bettors experience trouble due to ignorance of the rules. But they will not be released from responsibility if the rules did not want to learn. Thus, so that you do not lose your own funds and your account is not blocked, you need to know at least a minimum set of rules.
Questions and answers (4)
| ❓ Which bookmaker is the easiest to register with? | hide answer |
📌 If we divide all bookmakers into legal and illegal ones, then the registration process in illegal bookmakers is much simpler. The easiest way to register is with a well-known international office of Russian origin - 1xBet. The office offers four types of registration, among which there is registration in one click (the procedure takes less than a minute). However, it should be borne in mind that after a simple registration, the bettor will still have to fill out a standard personal questionnaire in his profile and send documents for verification.
In legal offices, the registration procedure is more complicated. Until the bettor registers on the site and confirms his identity for the bookmaker and TsUPIS, he will not be allowed to play. But after going through all the instances, the player can safely place bets and be sure of the safety of his funds. In the last year, the verification procedure for legal operators has been greatly simplified.
If we talk exclusively about registration in official bookmakers, then the easiest way is to go through the procedure in the bookmaker "Parimatch", bookmaker "Bingo Boom", bookmaker "Winline" and some others.
📌 The presence of video broadcasts is one of the competitive advantages of a bookmaker in the modern online market. Therefore, a significant part of bookmakers offer free broadcasts. In most cases, they are available to customers with any funds in the account.
In the legal segment, such services are provided by BC Winline, BC Parimatch, BC Liga Stavok and some others. There are bookmakers that partially broadcast events even for unregistered users: these are Betsity BC, GGBet BC. The Bingo Boom bookmaker demonstrates video broadcasts in its community on Vkontakte.

The "grandfather" of the betting business, however, is already on a global scale. Founded in 1934 in the UK. The odds are average. The lines and paintings are truly grandiose. A convenient system for working with LIVE-bets thanks to a powerful website engine.
Bwin was founded in Austria in 1999. The main feature of the bookmaker is an incredible list for matches of world importance. The odds are slightly below average, the line is wide, the limits are high. He is friends with QIWI, Coin and Webmoney, but when withdrawing funds he charges a commission, and in case of problems he may not respond to letters for a week. In a word, Bwin is friends only with professional bettors.
The American bookmaker, which is included in the list of the largest and best online bookmakers in the world, was born in 1998. High odds, but also a high minimum deposit - $20. Small margin, diverse system of bonuses and promotions. Friends with Webmoney and Yandex. It is an excellent option for Russian players who follow Pacific sports.
Founded in Asia in 2003. High odds (1.97-1.97) with a minimum deposit of $20 and the highest limits. The painting on football sometimes exceeds 30 points. Funds are withdrawn immediately. At the same time, the line requires habit and specific knowledge, Live bets are rather poor, and in general, the line could be better.
Another British company founded in 2009. Despite his youth, he is a member of IBAS, which is why the support service is simply heavenly. The odds are above average and are calculated up to thousandths, there are almost no limits, the bonuses are very unusual and interesting, supported by Yandex and Webmoney, LIVE bets are made with one click ... But there is no good without a silver lining - commission is charged on deposits.
The epithet "giants" about the participants in the list of the most popular, largest and most reliable bookmakers in the world on the Internet says everything - mostly, of course, good. Even the youngest bookmakers have the highest status and "powerful" sites. In addition, the majority of foreign bookmakers, having survived the legislative crisis, formally moved to offshore zones, which significantly reduces the margin. Benefits include:
It's not all that bad, but it's not all that good either. In one phrase: not even all the best betting sites have a Russian support service, if they do, then they will communicate with you very formally and vaguely, if the bookmaker decides that you are wrong, then so be it, some bookmakers do not provide bonuses for certain CIS countries .

Marathon is not included in any of the existing SROs and is not connected to TsUPIS, however, it offers its customers a Russian-language interface of the site and the possibility of replenishing an account in rubles.
A prematch rich in sports is one of the main advantages of the operator. The line includes not only traditional sports, but also a number of exotic disciplines, e-sports, political and cultural events, lotteries and dog racing. In terms of odds, Marathonbet is one of the leaders in the CIS betting market. There is a totalizator on the bookmaker's website, where large jackpots often accumulate.

Marathonbet reviewThe international office Leonbets has been accepting sports bets since 2007. The bookmaker does not have land-based points, working exclusively in the online field. Bets are made on an interactive site with a Russian version, and the Russian ruble is one of the currencies of the gaming account.
Leonbets prematch can be called standard. It includes the most popular sports disciplines, and there is no "exotic". The list of events depends on their significance, but in general it is average. The operator offers high odds for football and mixed martial arts. There is no sweepstakes on the BC website.

Since 2000, Parimatch customers have been able to bet online - through a website in the .com domain zone. The office is not included in any of the existing SROs and operates under a foreign license.

Parimatch reviewThe famous William Hill office dates back to 1934. The bookmaker has the largest network of land-based betting shops. Since 1998, the company began to provide online betting services using a website in the .com domain zone. Despite the illegal status of the operator in Russia, the site has a Russian version, and access to it is possible through updated mirrors.
Prematch William Hill is compiled by a team of experienced analysts and includes more than three dozen sports disciplines. Clients are offered bets on politics, lotteries, weather, show business and social events. Dog racing and horse racing popular in Britain are widely covered. In terms of the offered odds, the bookmaker is inferior to many competitors, but it has a rich Live section.
Replenishment of an account in the William Hill office is possible with the help of bank cards and popular electronic wallets. The number of currencies does not include the Russian ruble. The minimum deposit and withdrawal amount is $10. The company pays the commission.
William Hill ReviewThe company was founded in 1974, has an extensive network of land points, and also actively accepts bets online. The Bet365 website does not have a Russian version and is blocked by Roskomnadzor on the territory of the Russian Federation. To access rates, you can use updatable working mirrors.
Bet365 has no equal in terms of the quality of pre-match line development. About 40 sports disciplines, e-sports games, lotteries, cultural events are available for betting. The painting is very variable and contains many exclusive markets. The level of coefficients is not the highest, but you can bet on American hockey with a minimum margin. The live section with broadcasts and the Cash Out function has been worked out perfectly.
You can make a deposit to your gaming account using bank cards, transfers, checks, electronic wallets and virtual cards. The minimum deposit amount is $5.
Bet365 ReviewSportingbet was founded in 1998 and was one of the first to have an interactive betting site. The bookmaker does not have a Russian license and is not included in the SRO. To access bets, players from Russia use the working mirrors of the site.
Sportingbet included about thirty popular sports in the pre-match line, adding political and cultural events to the same. The painting is very deep and includes a large number of exclusive markets. The live section is noticeably inferior to the prematch in terms of the quality of the elaboration. The site has a free Football Predictor sweepstakes where you can earn free bets or real money.
You can replenish the balance in Sportingbet using bank cards, transfers and electronic wallets. The minimum deposit amount is $10. The Russian ruble is not included in the list of currencies in the game account.
Sportingbet review888sport 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.
888sport reviewThe 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:
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.
