Betcrib is the latest branching out of the Ongame Network. With poker and online casino gambling already covered, it was time to launch a sportsbetting operation, as well. What we most like about Betcrib is that is part of a huge network; meaning, we can visit the sportsbook, EuroPoker's poker room, or CasinoRoom's online casino all from the same platform. When you visit any three of the sites, you'll see big, clickable buttons trying to entice you away to the other gambling options! So, Betcrib is really a lot more than just a Sportsbook – it's one-stop shopping for all of your gambling needs.
Software and Design
The look of Betcrib is a tad pedestrian, yet still somehow pleasing to the eye. The green, white and black color scheme is easy on the eyes and never a distraction. The main page is very easy to understand and the rest of the site is incredibly easy to navigate and is mostly intuitive. The buttons are big and blocky and simple to see and access.
Just like Betcrib's sister sites, the software platform is a no-download Flash system that is a joy to use. The OddsMatrix software runs smoothly, is fast, and has nary a hiccup in its code. Pop-down menus with easy-to-read odds, time zones and games are easy and not a problem to understand. You'll be clicking through the site in no time only seconds after joining.
Game Availability
As Betcrib does not cater to the U.S. market, the sports on offer here are decidedly Euro-centric. Naturally, the majority of its wagers seem to be on football (soccer), and if that's what you're looking for, you won't be disappointed here. Not that you can't bet on baseball or American Football – you can – but you can also make a wager on Gaelic Football if you want…how cool is that? While the games available to bet on are not a huge selection, we're betting that the site will only grow from these humble yet impressive beginnings.
We especially like the wagering on Motor Racing that is available…it makes NASCAR and Formula 1 racing so much more exciting. The different kinds of bets, or "props," you can make are enticing and fun, as well.
Customer Service & Money Options
Signing up is a snap – seriously, it'll take you no more than a minute, tops. And once you have, there is no download you have to wait on, no software that has to contend with your computer settings, no space taken up by yet another program sucking RAM and disk space from your laptop.
Even if you were to have a problem, the customer service department is available 24/7 and quite willing to help even the most dense of customers. We should know! You can email, call them up on the phone, or use the great Live Chat option, as well.
Depositing and withdrawing money is about as easy as can be, with all of the industry-standard money options available to customers. And with Betcrib being a part of such a well-known and respected partnership like the OnGame Network, you know your money is safe with them and that you'll get timely pay-outs when you cash in your winnings.
Betcrib is just what the doctor ordered for a new sportsbetting site – fast, fun and easy to use. What more could you want?
