Sportsbook.com is an attractive website with a smart interface and plenty of functionality. As well as the sportsbook itself, it also offers casino gaming, bingo and poker. It is one of the biggest US online sportsbooks, with a large member base and covering plenty of markets.

Sportsbook.com have now extended the impressive features of their website to users with an internet enabled device such as a mobile phone or PDA, who want to be able to place bets on the move, check stats and results, and access their account information on the go.

They offer both a WAP site you can simply navigate to from your phone’s browser, or a downloadable Java application.

The main features included in the installed application are:

• A user friendly interface designed for mobile screens

• Easy one-click betting process

• All of the markets and bets available on the main site

• Live scores

• Full member wagering history

• Access to deposit and withdraw money from your account using a pre-registered card

You can access the Sportsbook.com WAP site using your phone’s browser by pointing it to  http://mobile.sportsbook.com. You can then log in as normal. Alternatively you can download the app by going to the main Sportsbook site on your PC or Mac and filling in the form to have them send a link to your phone by SMS.

The mobile sportsbook is compatible with all internet enabled devices that support Java applications. This means that if your handset is less than two years old it will almost certainly work, provided your network package includes GPRS or 3G usage.

This is an excellent mobile betting solution, which is easy to use and looks great even on smaller phone screens. To encourage you to try it, Sportsbook.com are offering a free $20 bet for first time users on the mobile betting site. You can place a bet of $20 on any NBA or NCAA Basketball Half-Time Line (second half), and if it loses Sportsbook.com will refund the wager (up to $20) into your account.

This is one only a few online sportsbooks offering a particular incentive for their members to try out mobile gaming.
