In October 2008, SBOBET was asked to turn over any evidence they might have on the possible match fixing scandal in The Football Association (FA) championship between Norwich City and Derby County. SBOBET denied the FA's request, deeming it was "excessive" and would be a breach of customer privacy Derby County won the game 2–1. In the end, the FA found no evidence that match fixing had taken place.
On 24 September 2009, two Bulgarian news agencies Novinite.com and 24 Chasa Daily published articles that wrongly suggested that SBOBET was responsible for fixing the football match between Levski and CSKA Sofia. The two agencies subsequently published correction articles, stating that SBOBET was not involved in any match-fixing scams, and apologized to SBOBET for publishing the untrue information.
In October 2009, representatives of the Premier League criticised SBOBET for offering live betting on academy football games, maintaining that children and youth activities should not be exposed by international gambling organisations. The bookmaker subsequently suspended betting on academy games and expressed its intention to seek clarification from the Premier League and the Professional Footballers' Association about which football markets it should be allowed to offer.
In October 2014, Singapore Parliament passed the Remote Gambling Bill to ban the entire spectrum of remote gambling, including internet, telephone, interactive television, radio and any other communication technology. The bill will be effective to individual gamblers, facilitators, runners and operators. Although the new law will come into operation from 2 February 2015, SBOBET states that it has a policy not to take bets from countries where making or accepting bets is illegal but the overwhelming majority of its customers come from mainland China where betting is illegal and betting customers often face arrest. New accounts from Singapore IP address are not accepted and there is no Singapore in the drop-down list in the sign-up page, though these can be easily by-passed through the use of a VPN. All accounts will be closed from 1 February 2015, which will comply with the new law. With effect from 12 February 2015, access to the SBOBET is blocked.

The most important aspect of every review is looking at the chances. And SBOBET definitely ranks among the top of the pack.
They're the most powerful in handicaps, particularly Asian handicaps in soccer/world soccer. You will generally see a theoretical payout rate of 98%, which means the same match will be priced at 1,96-1.96 odds. SBO offers odds that are near Pinnacle for most games however, sometimes they are a little more favorable.
In terms of game totals (over/under) in soccer and football, SBO ranks as the top available. They typically offer a payback rate of 99 percent that is incredible.
While SBO is ideal for soccer or football betting, it's ideal to bet on tennis, electronic sports motorsports American teams, and many other renowned sporting events. The odds are good across all markets. If you're looking for an online bookmaker that offers incredible odds and a great selection of odds, then SBO is certainly the most reliable place to place your bets.
We can’t say anything bad about the game selection that can be found at SBOBET. You will be able to bet on most big events
The most popular sports available on SBO are:
There is a clear focus on handicaps, but you’re also able to bet on outright winners, totals and much more. In sports with multiple athletes competing individually against each other, SBO will usually provide matchups between selected players.
SBOBET does not impose personal limits. If you win, you will not be limited, which is very appealing to sharps.
However, there are some normal market limits that apply to everyone. These limits are high in the most popular sports (football, basketball, tennis), but low in niche sports. If you place a maximum bet, the odds may fall, and then you can place more money if you still believe there is value.
On average it is not a problem to place a lot of money with SBO, and in opposition to European soft bookies that are fast to limit the players, SBO is actually a serious bookmaker that allows winners. So we rate it quite highly here.
Since SBOBET mostly wants to attract serious players to help them balancing the odds, they are not advertising much with their bonuses. And they have very few of them in general – although all new users will be able to get a first deposit bonus up to 200 euros.
Generally, SBO is a bookmaker that focuses mostly on providing high odds and therefore doesn’t offer regular bonuses or VIP-benefits.
SBO is a refreshing blue style that is pleasant to take a look at. The layout is reminiscent of standard bookmaker layouts which is not a surprise. It's simple to find the events you're seeking since all sports available are listed on the left-hand side. From there, you can go to the specific event or league you're seeking.
We love navigating through SBO because it's simple and easy to use.
Due to the high volume of users, the site of SBO is sometimes somewhat slow and the loading times can be becoming annoying. This is why we have lowered our rating the website from 10/10 down to 8/10 although the overall layout and navigation work well.
The mobile platform isn't excellent - it's rather messy. It would be fantastic to see SBO developed a modern mobile app or tried to make the mobile browser platform to make it better. As of now it's a negative which is counted down in the overall score. It is recommended to have a access to a tablet or computer when you are planning to bet on SBO.
