Sportbet.com, an online sportsbook, has just announced that they will now be offering live, in-game sports betting for all of their clientele.

San Jose, Costa Rica September 22, 2005 – Although in-game sports betting is not new, Sportbet.com has become one of the only premier sportsbook and casino to offer the added option for its clients.

In the midst of an exciting 2005-2006 NFL and NCAA football season, players from around the world are always looking to add to the excitement of the game. With the introduction of in-game betting, Sportbet.com has done just that. Now, clients can place sports bets while the game is in progress, adding to the excitement of watching the game on television.

“We wanted to give our clients a little added excitement to the game,” says Jake Slater, General Manager of Sportbet.com. “How many times have you been watching a game and thought, ‘I would rather be watching underwater basket weaving (or the like)’? With our in-game betting, clients can bet on almost every single play of every single game that we offer. Will Peyton Manning throw a complete pass on the next play? Will the Eagles score a TD on this drive? Will the San Diego Chargers run or pass on the next play? Every one of these bets is offered throughout each game. How can you not have fun with these types of sports betting options?”

In-game betting is starting to take the online industry by storm as some of the biggest books in the industry are looking to get involved. Although Sportbet.com has taken the first step, the rest will soon follow the lead of this industry icon. Right now, clients of Sportbet.com can place a sports bet for as little as $1 or as much as $200 on each and every play during a game. Once clients have opened an account with Sportbet.com, they simply need to download the in-game betting program. After a quick and easy transfer of funds to their in-game sports betting account, players are ready to go.

“The response we received was instantaneous. We had players getting involved with the in-game betting since our very first game. We didn’t even advertise that we were going live, and our clientele were calling and inquiring about it,” says Slater. “This season is really turning into one of our best ever. First we went live with our poker room. Then we began with our 50% deposit bonuses and daily promotions, and then it was our -107 on all football and basketball sides and totals. Now, with in-game betting, our clientele has never been happier. That is what makes it worth it for us - giving back to our clients and hearing how happy they are with our new services.”
