BetOnline Website
Score: 8.5/10

The BetOnline website is very dynamic, and it makes it very easy for the sports bettors to pick and choose which sports they want to view or follow. As soon as a bettor enters the sportsbook, they are bombarded with the latest news, betting lines, and upcoming matches of the most popular matchups. The website has a function where the bettor can pick one or more sports they would want to follow. The general information can be found using this method, such as date and time of the match, along with the different odds and betting types that are available for the bettor to wager on. The one downside of having such a dynamic and informational website is that it lacks aesthetics; as it looks a little overcrowded.

The sportsbook also has many other functions that are there to help the bettor before, during, and after they place a bet. They have links explaining the different wagering terms and betting types, as well as having a very extensive Stats Center and the Sports Betting edge; which is a news section. All of these services are provided by BetOnline, for free.
