Independent rating of legal bookmakers in Russia. Olympus: bookmaker with high limits

Good day, friends, Dmitry Shchukin is with you and today we will look at the top 10 best bookmakers. Among a large number of competitors, these companies can be identified as clear favorites and market leaders. Of course, it cannot be said that a company higher in the ranking is better in all respects than the one below. Each has its pros and cons, and the bookmaker in the first position may be in some ways worse than the bookmaker in the tenth position. But in general, the rating is compiled according to certain criteria and the current top 10 online bookmakers look like this:

Bookmakers Review Bonus Rating Registration
1 No 9.5 not legal in Russia
2 10$ 9.4 not legal in Russia
3 10$ 9.3 not legal in Russia
4 No 8.8 not legal in Russia
5 No 8.6 not legal in Russia
6 No 8.6 not legal in Russia
7 180€ 8.5 not legal in Russia
8 100$ 8.3 not legal in Russia
9 400$ 8.2 not legal in Russia
10 No 8.1 not legal in Russia

The first place is headed by the leader of the Russian market - the bookmaker company "1xBet". A very strong company in all respects. It takes its place in the top for good reason. Here the line is wide, the odds are high, and the functionality is excellent. The company truly deserves the highest praise. According to official data, the bookmaker has more than 1,000 offline cash desks throughout the CIS, as well as more than 500 thousand active online players. Impressive, you'll agree.

In second place is a bookmaker of no less quality, and maybe even more so. « WilliamHill". This oldest British bookmaker brand has won the trust of millions of players from all over the world. Excellent functionality good odds and line, bonuses for new players, as well as the highest level of reliability make the company one of the world leaders. However, the brand has not yet strengthened in Russia and the CIS and is only gaining momentum, albeit at a very slow pace...

Third place went to a domestic bookmaker company « Winline." The brand, although young, is very active in terms of marketing activity and attracting players. The company is valued, first of all, for its excellent reputation, which is very difficult to achieve at the start of work. Of course, I’m exaggerating a little about the start, since Winline has existed since 2009, but by the standards of other bookmakers, this brand is still very young.

In fourth place, so to speak, is the pioneer among domestic bookmakers - the company "Marathon". They have existed since the distant 1998 and to this day they are very successfully developing their product and attracting many new customers. Among the advantages is an excellent understanding of interests Russian users, high odds and an excellent line. Among the disadvantages, the design is old, like the office itself, and a slightly tarnished reputation, although most likely, the second has already become just an echo of the past. Overall the company is more than worthy

The golden mean of our top 10 best bookmakers was the company "Pari-Match"— brand Ukrainian origin, but also very popular in Russia, Kazakhstan and throughout the CIS as a whole. Just like Marathon, they are pioneers of domestic bookmaking and provide quality product for more than 20 years now. According to all indicators of our criteria, the company has ratings above average, and in terms of reliability and bonus policy it occupies a leading position.

Compiling the top 10 online bookmakers, company « Sbobet", gritting my heart, I placed it in sixth place. The bookmaker is really more than high quality and reliable. It offers excellent odds and maximum bets, very rarely cuts the accounts of successful players, has an excellent bonus policy, but, alas, is practically not focused on Russian users. The line is not the best for us and the lack of Russian-language support prevents the bookmaker from rising higher in the top. In all other respects, Sbobet can give odds to some higher-level offices.

Seventh place went to a domestic company « Leon» . Being the same age as the leader of our top - the 1xBet company, Leon managed to win the loyalty of a very large number of customers and become one of the most popular. Nice line, high reliability and first-class bonus policy of the company make it a very strong competitor in the market.

Eighth place was taken by one of the leaders of the European gambling business bookmaker « SportingBet. Again, you might think that this brand should occupy the top positions of the ranking, but alas, as in the case of Sbobet, the company is not focused on the Russian market well enough. But still, it provides its players with a good line, good bonuses and substantial amounts maximum bets. ABOUT high level There is no need to talk about reliability; it is a priori inherent in the vast majority of European bookmaker companies.

In ninth place is another Ukrainian bookmaker company « Favbet". In general, it’s not a bad bookmaker, but during its existence it has been in various situations related to a problematic reputation... Now the difficult times are behind us, but the perception of users has not yet changed. The bookmaker offers an excellent line, good odds, focus on the CIS market and a very good functional component.

Top 10 best bookmakers, ironically closed by a company with the name "10Bet." A young British brand that is already very popular in Europe and is gradually reaching the CIS. “Reinforced concrete” reliability and highest quality product – these two phrases can describe the company without exaggeration. But alas, like some of the other bookmakers described above, 10Bet is still poorly focused on our region. This is expressed both in a very narrow line and in the absence of some of the most popular payment systems in the CIS. On the other hand, for Russian users the company offers a very generous bonus of 200 euros, which partially compensates for its regional shortcomings.

That's probably all. It was top 10 online bookmakers, and its author is Dmitry Shchukin. Over time, I am sure that bookmakers will be ranked differently, because, as I have repeated more than once, in times of very high competition, yesterday’s outsider can turn into today’s leader in a short time. I also look forward to your opinion on this matter. Leave comments below and subscribe to my Twitter feed. We will communicate more often. Good luck, friends. Bye!

The most important criterion when compiling a rating of bookmakers is the number of clients playing there. And here the question arises - how many clients place bets in a particular office? Information about this that can be found on the Internet does not inspire much confidence. For example, one little-known company claims on one page of its website that it has 200,000 clients, and on the other – 600,000, although both of these figures are hard to believe. (Please note that this site will no longer mention this bookmaker).

Information on the number of visitors to betting sites (this can be found out using certain Internet resources) is also incorrect to take into account, due to the fact that most betting companies have several sites and applications.

However, the opportunity to find out which companies are popular among players and, accordingly, which ones he plays in a large number of clients, there are. Such a tool is the statistics of queries in Internet search engines. For the Russian-speaking segment of the network, this is primarily the Yandex search engine.

The list of the most popular bookmakers among the Russian-speaking audience, compiled based on the number of search queries in the Yandex search engine, is as follows (bookmakers are located in alphabetical order, the following explains why):

Now let's take a closer look at how the above list was obtained. There was only one selection criterion - popularity among Russian-speaking Internet users, calculated based on the number of relevant search queries in the Yandex system. Source of information – Internet service “Yandex Word Selection”: https://wordstat.yandex.ru.

The period for which the information was received is August 2016.

The list includes bookmakers that each have more than 100,000 search queries per month.

Detailed statistics when compiling the top list of the 10 most popular bookmakers on the Runet are as follows (alphabetical order is used in the arrangement):

Bookmaker's name “Search phrase/word” – number of search queries
1xBet “bookmaker 1xBet” – 263,105, “bookmaker’s office 1xBet” – 840,078
Betcity “betcity” – 109,071, “betcity” – 287,068
Baltbet “baltbet” – 38,443, “baltbet” – 212,836
Zenith* "BC Zenit" - 87,745, "bookmaker's office Zenit" - 42,014
Leon* “bk leon” – 86,791, “bookmaker’s office leon” – 68,120
Betting League “betting league” – 207,338
Marathon* “BC Marathon” – 72,855, “bookmaker’s office Marathon” – 143,641
Olympus* “bk olymp” – 53,991, “bookmaker olymp” – 49,384
Pari match “betting match” (separately) – 73,147, “parimatch” (combined) – 375,996
Fonbet “fonbet” – 1,106,684, “fonbet” – 329,988

It is necessary to take into account that the bookmakers Zenit*, Leon*, Marathon* and Olimp* are looking for potentially more people on Yandex than listed above, but the number of search queries for the words “Zenith”, “Leon”, “Marathon”, “Olympus” was not taken into account due to incorrectness, because, for example, the word “Leon” for the search could be used, among other things, by cinema lovers, the words “Marathon” and “Olympus” - by those who are interested in ancient Greece and so on.

The top bookmakers on the Runet include companies that have more than 100,000 search queries on Yandex per month, without the intention of identifying their number as exactly 10. So, there could very well be, for example, 8, 11 or 12. This is not important. But by chance, the number of bookmakers meeting this criterion turned out to be ten.

It should be noted that all of the above bookmakers have their origins in the CIS. Bookmakers from foreign countries are not included in it, despite the fact that many of them work in Russian. However, if we continue the list of bookmakers with the largest number of requests in Yandex, then the next two, after those listed above, will be foreign bookmakers - Bet365 (57,154 search requests for August 2016) and William Hill (34,741 requests). At the same time, Bet365 is the only office of all those named that does not have Russian language at the time of preparation of this article (September 2016). However, it was ahead of such well-known foreign bookmakers as Bwin, Betfair, Pinnacle, which work in Russian, but not receive more than 30,000 search queries per month on Yandex.

It seems that the above top list quite accurately describes the situation with the popularity of bookmakers among Russian-speaking clients, given that all the bookmakers included in it are well-known betting brands for many years. At the same time, the highest odds of all the bookmakers listed above are provided by

Let me remind you that in preparing this top list, information for August 2016 was used. Current information by the number of search queries on Yandex you can get on the Internet resource “Yandex selection of words” at the link https://wordstat.yandex.ru (you will need to register on Yandex if you have not previously been registered there).

Luck is only half the battle for a gambler and avid gambler. The second part of success is making the right choice bookmaker's office through which bets will be placed on a sporting event. It must pay its clients' winnings fairly and offer them maximum betting opportunities. So which companies are considered the most decent bookmakers in Russia and fully comply with the criteria described above?

Information about which bookmakers in Russia are better can be found in our bookmaker ratings, based on reviews of several reputable Internet portals and reviews from users who have already used the services of these companies.

What should you consider when choosing a bookmaker for betting?

We would like to immediately warn readers that even the most respectable companies will try to stall for time or cheat when paying large sums. Therefore, when choosing a bookmaker, you must make sure of the reliability of the company. An official license has always been considered the best indicator of reliability, because it allows a company to operate in this area of ​​business. For example, our rating includes bookmakers that are required to hold licenses to operate in Russia or on global Internet sites. A number of other indicators, such as the width of the betting line and the size of the odds, change quite often for each individual bookmaker, so it is advisable to view information about these nuances on the websites of organizations that professionally monitor the activities of bookmakers: for example, bookmaker-ratings.ru or bookmakersbase. com.

The minimum bet is only 5 rubles, but the maximum can reach 600 thousand or more. The odds and schedule will satisfy everyone. The line is wide, but not oversaturated with exotic sports.

The undoubted advantage of Marathon is one of the lowest margins among legal bookmakers. Moreover, the odds are high not only for popular disciplines, championships and markets, but also for all others. For example, the margin for the top five European football championships is 1.5% on the outcome, total and handicap, and for the middle leagues – 2.5%.

Live has almost all current events. A repeated transaction is possible with a decrease in the limit and coefficient, and sometimes it is impossible at all. Quotes in live are lower than in pre-match (margin increases by 1.5-3%). This margin allows you to earn more with identical traffic indicators than in other offices.
