Website performance
188bet is a very fast and responsive site but it can be a bit confusing to navigate initially. The site boasts it can host over 15,000 concurrent users which is mightily impressive. The website has crashed on me several times when using however and can bring problems if betting as you have to restart your system. The site is straight forward and as already stated has a comprehensive soccer offer. There is not a massive variety of sports but enough for the general bettor.
Customer service
188bet deal in languages including English, Thai, Korean, Vietnamese and Chinese. Customer service is available 24 hours a day and the staff are largely helpful. Phone or livechat via SKYPE is available or email and traditional live chat are available for customer service. They are very fast to deal with problems however and are very knowledgable. They do not have many of the usual problems to deal with however as its unheard of for 188bet to close players. Trading decisions and price change/errors are unusual as 188bet offer the most competitive margins out there. A real site for serious punters.
