STAN JAMES REVIEW
Some of us have been betting with Stan James for a long time, they opened up their first high street betting shop in the UK way back in 1973 and have gone from strength to strength ever since. Having built up a reputation over the last 36 years as one of the most innovative bookmakers within the UK, it came as no suprise to us that they would be one of the first to have an online presence when StanJames.com opened up for business in 2003. Nowadays Stan James is licensed by the Gibraltar Licensing Authority under the Gambling Act 2005 who have a track record of excellence thanks to their incredibly high standards that bookmakers must adhere to.
When you open a new account with Stan James via one of the links on TakesAllSports, they will match the stake of your first bet (at Evens or greater), with a free bet up to the value of £25. They aim to credit the Free Bet to your account within 24 hours of your first bet being settled. The Free Bet balance will remain on your account for 30 days.
Moving your funds around is easy because Stan James have a wide range of options for depositing and withdrawing your winnings, they accept Solo, Maestro, Visa Electron and Laser debit cards, Mastercard and Visa credit cards, Neteller, Western Union, Moneybookers, PaySafeCard, bank transfer and even by cheque. Your Security is guaranteed as they handle millions of transactions a year. Their website uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology on all web pages that contain your personal and payment card details by encrypting them, so only they can access them.
Their Call Centre and Customer Service departments never close. This ensures that their clients can always speak to a representative no matter what time, no matter what day. UK based callers have access to a freephone number manned by friendly staff who we found capable of providing us with answers to our numerous questions. We taxed their customer service department equally as heavily via email and found the result to be the same. Impressive.
Stan James claim that they bet more markets in more sports than any other bookmaker, at the time of writing we have'nt found anyone that matches them in this department, so whatever sport you like to bet on, Stan James should be your first port of call.
They are synonymous with Betting-In-Running where their traders update the prices while the sport is in progress. Their In-Running Diary is the most comprehensive fixture list of upcoming Betting-In-Running events we have come across, including Football, Golf, Tennis, Cricket, Darts, Motorsport, Volleyball, Athletics, Cycling, Baseball aswell as Equestrian events.
