Be Careful: Scam Emails Circulating Pretending to be Popular Bet105 Gambling Site

OAKLAND PARK, Fla (Gambling911.com) - If you've received an email offer from the Costa Rica-based Bet105, you may want to think twice about clicking on the link. 


Now offering "No Juice Thursdays" for college football

Bet105 released a statement confirming the scammer emails currently circulating and warned existing as well as would be customers not to click on any of the links or send funds to the perpetrator(s). 


Hi,
We want to make you aware of a website impersonating the Bet105 brand: bet105.io.
The only official Bet105 website is bet105.ag. If you ever access Bet105, please ensure you're visiting bet105.ag directly.
We have recently become aware that bet105.io is not affiliated with Bet105 in any way and is using our branding without authorization. To protect your account and personal information, please avoid interacting with this website or entering any login credentials there.

   Your funds and account on bet105.ag remain safe and secure.
   Bet105 maintains industry-leading security practices to protect customer accounts and transactions.
   This issue does not affect customer balances, deposits, withdrawals, or the security of our platform.

If you ever have any doubt about whether you're on the official Bet105 website, please contact our live support before signing in.
Thank you for your continued trust and support.

Gambling911.com should exercise caution. 

The real Bet105 is one of the emerging online sportsbook sites that has found its niche in high limit sports betting. 

Bet105.ag is an offshore, crypto-focused sportsbook aimed heavily at U.S. and international bettors. Its main selling point is reduced juice: instead of the standard -110/-110 pricing you'll commonly see on point spreads and totals, Bet105 promotes lines around -105, which is where the “105” name comes from.

The book is heavily oriented toward Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and it has pregame and live betting across the major U.S. sports plus international sports.

The closest alternatives that fit your description are:

  • BetOnline - A popular Gambling911.com partner website, BetOnline does cater to some of the sharpest gamblers on the planet even though it is well entrenched in the retail sports betting sector online.  They now offer "No Juice Happy Hour Thursdays" for college football games.
  • BetAnything — probably the closest name/style match. It's positioned as another reduced-juice (-105-style) sportsbook for serious bettors. BMR currently lists it alongside Bet105, BetOnline and BookMaker in its “sharp sportsbook” group.
  • BookMaker — much older and particularly well known for high limits and accepting sharp action. If what you remember was a sportsbook specifically marketed toward big bettors rather than recreational players, this is a strong possibility.
  • Pinnacle — historically one of the best-known names worldwide for high limits, low margins and professional/sharp bettors. Your own Gambling911 coverage actually mentioned Pinnacle and Circa when discussing Bet105's “winners welcome” positioning earlier this year.
  • Circa Sports — the major U.S.-regulated name associated with taking substantial wagers and being relatively friendly toward sophisticated bettors.

Savvy Sports Bettors Can Now Get No Juice on College Football

BetOnline’s No Juice Football Happy Hour is your weekly ticket to +100 odds on featured college and NFL spreads.

  • When: Every Thursday, 7:00 PM – 8:15 PM ET.
  • What: Featured NCAAF & NFL spreads at true +100 odds.
  • How: Click the “Happy Hour” tab in the Bet Menu and wager up to $500 in real money.
