Gaming Club Bookmaker originated from the Demmy Group which for more than 75 years had betting shops all over the United Kingdom. Like many high street operators Ladbrokes, William Hill and Coral, Tim Johnson who inherited the Demmy betting business from his grandfather decided to open their doors to the global market and formed the Carmen Media Group and launched an online sportsbook, casino, games and poker room.

All gaming sites belonging to Carmen Media Group operate under Belle Rock Entertainment which is their umbrella organization and include: BetWay, RiverBelleCasino, The Gaming Club, Lucky Nugget Casino and Jackpot City Casino.

Wanting to expand the casino and poker product further CEO Ashley Head announced in May 2006 that the company was hoping to merge with another successful company and were negotiating a merge with Trident Entertainment Group of Kahnawake, Canada. To date there are no updates on the prospect of this merge.

The bookmaker is powered by LudoLogic and provides market prices via the Betfair API on a wide selection of events such as soccer, horse racing, golf, snooker, American football, bandy, basketball, boxing, cricket, darts, Gaelic games, handball, ice hockey, greyhound racing, rugby, volleyball, water polo, winter sports plus politics, financial and special bets.

Wagers are only accepted via the internet and the minimum stake is £3.00. Maximum wagers varies from events.

The layout of the website is fairly typical with the menu on the left and the odds listed in the center. But that's all there is! There are no other wager types to choose from and placing a bet is a questionable process, unfortunately there is not enough information provided in the help section to set you on your way.

The site is slow and page errors are sometimes a problem

Deposit methods include Debit / Credit Card and Electronic Transfer.

Available currencies are GBP and Euro only.

Customer support is limited to email inquiries only and the response time is generally 24 hours.

Since the illegal gambling bill was signed by President George Bush Gaming Club Sportsbook no longer accept members from the United States.

It seems Gaming Club Sportsbook have spent a lot of time and effort on the casino and the poker product and neglected the needs of a good bookmaker.
