WhichBookie Launches Site In Canada
WhichBookie.com, a website owned by Better Media Ltd that focusesBetting on providing in-depth reviews of online bookmakers, has recently announced that they have launched in Canada.
WhichBookie aims to provide readers with information regarding online bookmakers, casinos and betting exchanges including the latest betting offers for new and existing customers, links to hundreds of live streams of sporting events and reviews of established and recently launched brands.
Website Manager of WhichBookie.com, Robert Cockburn, said:
“Online betting sites operate in specific territories which means that where one bookmaker may be best for someone residing in the UK, they may not be available to those in Canada or other countries.â€
“As we receive traffic from all around the world to WhichBookie.com, it makes it challenging to point visitors in the right direction to find reputable betting sites that operate within their country.â€
“Therefore, we have launched new sections on WhichBookie.com that provide targeted information for visitors from countries such as the UK, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, Turkey and most recently, Canada.â€
“Online gambling is one of the fastest growing industries in the world and Canada is up there as one of the biggest spenders being ranked #6 in the world for online gambling revenue.â€
“It’s estimated that around 75% of the population in Canada has been involved in some form of gambling and so it made sense for us to develop a section of the WhichBookie.com website to provide information on where they can bet, which sites are reputable and safe and show them where they can get the best betting offers when they sign up with online bookies and casinos.â€
“Several well-known betting brands accept customers from Canada including the likes of Bet365, 888Sport, Unibet and LeoVegas. However, the choice isn’t as extensive as those from say the UK have and so we help our Canadian visitors to find the site that is right for them to bet at.â€
Currently, the Canadian section of WhichBookie.com has seen a light launch with reviews of betting sites that accept Canadian players having been published by the team of experts. However, over the coming months, there are plans to develop the CA section of the site extensively with more bookmaker and casino reviews to be added, information on Canadian payment methods at betting sites, betting tips for various sports, the latest and best Canadian sports betting offers as well as much more.
WhichBookie.com was launched in March 2021 by Better Media Ltd who operate several online betting related websites that share expert opinions on bookmakers and casinos as well as betting tips, guides and the latest free bet offers.
The team at Better Media have over 30 years experience in the betting industry having operated both land-based betting shops and some of the biggest betting sites online. WhichBookie.com is one of the company’s latest projects and they aim to develop it into one of the leading resources for online betting information for players around the world.
