Mcbookie is one of the oldest Scottish bookmakers in the world founded in early 1961. As the name suggest, the bookie is dedicated very much to the Scottish players and tries to be the leading betting platform in Scotland. The company that owns the site is McBookie Ltd, which took over from the previous owners in 2009. The platform is operated by the famous BetVictor Ltd The site itself has been online since 2003 and proved to be one of the most patriotic bookmakers that always put Scottish sports and punters before everything. Despite their long history, the bookmaker hasn’t been that popular outside Scotland, and it’s not very common for foreign players to join their site. The company is registered and operates under the jurisdiction of Gibraltar. It’s very common for UK betting platforms to register their businesses there. It’s licensed by the Gambling Commission in the UK. Of course, there are many nonscottish players that enjoy the platform. Recently they became the sponsors of The North Region Junior FA, and they were also sponsors of the McLeman Cup. With their great betting markets and excellent odds owners of the site try their best to rank it amongst the bigger names in the industry.

There you can find Sports, Casino, In-pay, Live Casino and their Blog. Seeing a blog on a betting platform is not very common but they’ve put the effort to keep it updated with scores, news, and previews. As far as the sports go all you need is happening on the left side of the screen where you can find all the markets for sporting events. Football, Golf and Horse Racing are rated as the top sports which is pretty self-explanatory as they’re one of most popular sports in Scotland. In the Football menu, you can find a dedicated section for Scottish Football. Some interesting sports as Hurling and Gaelic football are also available for their fans. As far as the Casino goes, it’s pretty stacked with all sorts of games. All types of roulettes, black jack, slots, and poker are available. The Live Casino is organized as three separate clubs where you can find from 10 to 25 tables for Black Jack, Baccarat, Hold’em Poker and three card poker.

Security and Customer Services
Mcbookie has had some problem with customer service in their history, but the owners have made their best to solve them.
