Known to be the very first offshore bookmaker licensed in the name of American Football Pools and established in the UK in 1985 the company quickly evolved in to a larger and more sophisticated operation named Sports Action International.

21 years later and now located in Mauritius the company is called Bowman International and goes from strength to strength as it strives for industry excellence.

The website is co-owned by Bowman International Sports Ltd and Bowman International Sports (IOM) Ltd, the licences are held by (IOM) Ltd located in the British Isles.  The gaming licence for Poker, Casino and Games is held by Bowman International Sports Ltd, located in Mauritius.

Gary Bowman, Founder and President of Bowmans International insists that we are living in a global village and sport is the universal language, that may be true for most but it's also a very competitive village.  So what do Bowmans do to stay ahead of the game?

Well they have invested millions in ultra modern computers and telecommunication networks which helps to put them on the cutting edge of technology.

  • With skilled and knowledgeable staff, they provide top knotch customer support ;
  • 10% cash back on your monthly losses ;
  • Original props ;
  • Ability to purchase a half point on individual teams in parlay ;
  • Good betting lines, especially if you like to wager on the underdog.

Bowmans uses IQL Software and since the most recent upgrade the layout of the website has improved drastically.  In addition to offering sports, casino, poker and games, the site contains sports news and information allowing you to make informed betting choices, plus game schedules and like Bodog they have added a personal touch and incorporated an autobiographical section on Gary Bowman, the man behind the company.

Some customers continue to complain about the efficiency of the site however and suggest that it's quicker to place a phone wager.  Be warned also that limits will be imposed for professional players.

Bookmaker bonus / promotions are pretty much industry standard but they do sometimes run a great contest.

Bowmans is a solid with a reputation for integrity and reliability, a sure home for recreational players!

SGR rating of Bowmans Bookmaker: Bookmaker Rating of Bowmans is at 4 Stars
