YouWager

YouWager accepted its first sports wager in 1999. Parent company First Fidelity was created in 1994. YouWager changed its primary domain from .com to .eu in September of 2013.  Headquartered in San Jose, Costa Rica, with a workforce of 200 plus, YouWager’s operation is among the largest in the land. The biggest complaint players have made over the years has been aggressive promotional solicitations or cold calls; which YouWager has curbed due to player feedback and the evolution of marketing into more electronic mediums. YouWager’s sign up and reload bonuses are a source of positive user feedback, as is their loyalty program. Payouts have been a strong point for the sportsbook consistently. Sportsbook Review has received no payout complaints against the shop in 2014. It stands to reason that this payout track record plus a consistent bonus model helped YouWager be voted number six spot in the recent SBR users top sportsbook poll – its best placement in the poll’s history.

YouWager’s betting markets now have more of an international flavor. Once regarded as a North American facing website, YouWager has significantly added to their international soccer line-up, offering markets on every significant soccer competition inside and outside of the Americas. YouWager also spreads markets on tennis tournaments year round, including a steady supply of proposition wagers such as correct set score betting, set winner, total set games, and more. For the younger North American and Canadian facing crowd, there are many mixed martial events and UFC betting markets trading at any given time. At the time of this publication, YouWager is spreading eighteen wagering markets for the UFC during a slow spot in the combat sports calendar. One consequence to offering an expanded betting cart is the occasional wagering dispute: It is in this end that YouWager has excelled. Management keeps an open line of communication with SBR and always acts in line with the industry standard.
