Betsafe Elected as the World's Best Bookmaker

Betsafe beat stiff competition around the world to be named as the world's best bookmaker. Prestigious sports magazine TIPS tested online bookmakers from all over the world and declared Betsafe number one.

(PRWEB) April 27, 2008 -- The sports and gaming magazine TIPS has elected the gaming company Betsafe.com as the world's best bookmaker.

Betsafe won with one point over the existing champions Nordicbet, with the following statement:

Excellent support and good odds ensured that http://www.Betsafe.com won its first top position in TIPS' large bookmaker test. The established test evaluates the bookmakers in eight different categories such as Usability/Design, how to register, deposit/withdrawal options, gaming options, how to make a bet, payback, support and focus on security and addictive gambling--where gaming options and payback gives double amount of points.

The maximum amount of points is 100, and this time Betsafe won with 81 points, while Nordicbet, Centrebet, Bet356 and Bwin all came in among the top five.

We are very happy to win this test and it shows that we have done some good stuff and taken the correct decisions during our first 2 years.

-Everyday, we strive to improve our work, and we are of course very proud to be rewarded with the top position in such an important test, says André Lavold, the founder of the company.

André is together with his brother Christer Lavold and their friends Rudi Thomassen and Anders Berntssen the team behind the 2 year old gaming company, which is already well established in the Scandinavian market.

-Good odds are most important, without them I don't believe people would have noticed us at all. Scandinavian players know the value of things and usually compare prices and odds before they make a bet, the sportsbook (http://www.betsafe.com/) manager Anders Berntssen points out.

- We are extremely proud over what we have accomplished over the last six months with a new website as the highlight, but we will not rest with this. We have a number of markets where we can improve, something we work with on a daily basis. Our most important focus is the close contact we have with our players, says the smiling CEO Henrik Persson.
