Off-Shore Gaming and Why The Sportsbook Industry Is Still Booming
It might be surprising to many online bookie agents that the sportsbook industry continues to boom. There’s a great reason why.
It has more to do with the creation of pay per head companies than it does with the off-shore gaming industry.
Per Head Companies: Saving the Off-Shore Sportsbooks
Before pay per head, to place a wager in the United States a player had to go to Las Vegas, New Jersey, or log onto an off-shore gaming site.
The off-shore sportsbooks realized this. What they ended up doing is offering ridiculous rollovers for bonuses, setting unimaginable lines, and just squeezing dollars from their customers.
Once the pay per head companies arrived, a lot of this changed. Sportsbooks that use to compete against one another, now had to compete against individual bookmakers with individual clients.
These individual bookmakers treat almost every one of their clients like a VIP.
Off-shore sportsbooks evolved. They now offer much kinder bonuses, treat many of their players like VIPS, and hand out free bets for real cash.
In many ways, per head companies buoyed the off-shore sportsbooks. They forced those books to become better at offering wagering services.
Online Bookie Agents Will Always Have an Edge over Off-Shore Sportsbooks
The secret is that no player, casual or pro wants to wager through an off-shore sportsbook. Most prefer to wager through a pay per head company via an agent.
It’s no coincidence that many former bookies who suddenly get back into business after partnering with a per head company suddenly finds themselves providing wagering services to past clients.
This is particularly true for pro players. Pro players will never wager through an off-shore sportsbook unless it’s necessary.
Here’s a list of advantages personal pay per head agents provide to the pro player:
Personal contact – Although most that play off-shore have a customer service rep assigned to him, all bookmakers personally contact their biggest, most important, players.
Someone to watch their backs – Pro players appreciate agents that use tools like PayPerHead’s settle alert, which pings them when they must either payout, or collect.
Pro players know that agents have their backs.
Betting on credit – Off-shore books are behemoth organizations that require money upfront before placing wagers. Pro players run their bankrolls the way any business runs, there is almost always some debt involved.
Online Bookies Always Remember:
Per head agents should never forget the biggest difference between their sportsbooks and off-shore sportsbooks.
Off-shore sportsbooks require much more sports betting action to survive. That’s why no off-shore sportsbook is an expert at anything: sports betting, poker, racebook betting, slot machines, etc.
Off-shore sportsbooks must sell everything to every player all the time. Online bookies can use past information to forecast and determine what that player might wager next. That’s the biggest advantage.
