Company Information
Stan James is a British bookmaker, with roots back in 1973. The company started as a small chain of betting places in Berkshire. Steve Fisher is the name of the founder. Today, the online bookie is still in family hands, in the face of Managing Director Peter, the son of Steve. The name Stan James is not that of a real person, running the company. Instead, it is a mix-up of Steve’s and his wife Ann’s names. The bookmaker currently handles a small number of betting shops in the United Kingdom. Their main profit, though, comes from their Internet and telephone betting system in Gibraltar. Millions of pounds go through their hands on a daily basis. The main highlights of Stan James during the past ten years have been the inventive markets, incredible prices and their select “in-running” betting options. The company may not be one of the biggest names in the industry but offer some interesting markets. It also has a very versatile platform and the history behind it to try and rank amongst the best. If they continue their innovative support Stan James can become a very serious contender for the top rankings.
In 2015 Unibet aquired Stan James and all Stan James’ players were redirected to Unibet.
Betting Information
Stan James’ bookmaking website is surprisingly pleasing to look at. The masterful combination of light-green and orange is looking fresh and welcoming. Right after the aesthetics capture your attention, your eyes roam around the homepage. On the left side, you see a bunch of sports, available as drop-down buttons. In the middle, the page greets you with a list of the latest events. And the right side of the online bookie website contains promotions, mini games and the links to the upcoming sports events. All in all, the interface is great and very intuitive.
The sportsbook of Stan James is gigantic. Players have the option to bet on 27 types of sports. Along with these usual betting choices, clients of Stan James are welcome to test their analysis and luck with the incoming Elections, TV shows and various other favorite activities. This bookmaker manages to stay competitive in their prices, even with their bigger competitors Bet365 and Betfair. If you are concerned about the in-running events – worry not. They are among the best on the market, and you will not be disappointed. Stan James also offers live betting and live streaming services for football, horseracing and greyhound racing.
Stan James has an on-line casino available for use. It was launched back in 2005. The surprising and good thing here is that they focused on user experience. Players don’t have to download any software and the games load exquisitely fast. Customers can choose from twenty-two easy to access, instant games. The most popular ones are there, as well as some of the most obscure games. Poker, Black Jack, Roulettes, Live Tables and many more await you in their dedicated page.
The poker section of the online bookmaker is a fresh addition to their website. Of course, they made it look and feel fantastic, just like the other games there. Quite a few welcome bonuses are in place to encourage players to test their mettle on the poker tables. Their best feature is that you can look at player statistics in real time and compare with them as you are sitting on the table.
Odds Information
The odds on Stan James are pretty high. We cannot cover all the specifics, but you have to be aware of this fact – the betting margin is very evenly divided between sports. It goes like this – Football with 4.5%, Tennis with 5.1%, Basketball with 4.5% and Baseball with 5.5%. The overall betting margin is 5%. The minimum you can bet is 0.01, and the maximum varies between various events. The winnings limited you to 200000 pounds per day for football, which is an excellent number! Since live betting is available, players can grab some very meaty winnings off of real-time matches.
Security and Customer Service
Since online bookmakers work with money, it’s only normal to have an SSL encrypted connection. Stan James is not an exception to this rule. The bookie is also a member of IBAS and ESSA, so you can be sure the fair play is in place, as well as the security of your identity and finances. You can contact Stan James in a plethora of ways. Their phone line is available 24/7/365, which is astounding. The phone number is also toll-free, and the people who handle customer support are very friendly and professional. The bookie also sports an email address and a live chat feature. Players can be sure they will get their problems resolved and questions answered on the spot.
Deposits and Withdraws
Stan James accepts many types of currencies. Players can deposit funds through most famous banking methods. They also accept e-wallets. Withdrawing funds happens through the method you deposit the money. The personal transaction history is freely available, so you can quickly draw the line and see how much you have won or lost during a chosen period.
Deposit Bonus and Loyalty Programs
Stan James bookmaker welcomes its new customers with a great bonus of €20, which is cashable. It’s 100% the size of the initial deposit with the minimum of €10. However, it’s not that simple to receive it. You have to wager your bonus value x6 to cash out. Take note that the odds should be no less than 1.4 and the wager should be made in the specific period for the Sign Up promotion. Fortunately, there are no promo codes and other complications; everything is automatically handled.
Anyway, the Swedish online bookie is making it up for the slightly complicated sign up an offer by presenting unique opportunities for its loyal players. Anyone has the chance to take part in Superscore and Supertoto, where you can even wager minimum bets on 14 European matches and win up to €50 000 if you guess them right. Unfortunately, apart from the seasonal promotions, Stan James is lacking any referral or VIP programs as well as reload bonuses.
