About Us

Founded in 2006, ProBookies was built on a vision of constant innovation in the world of sports betting technology. From the beginning, our goal has been to stay ahead of the curve a drive that led us to become one of the first developers of live dealer software for both web and mobile devices.

2006

We entered the industry with a private sportsbook in September 2006, focused on the U.S., Chinese, and Vietnamese markets. By the end of that year, our pay-per-head operations officially began.

2007

We launched our live casino platform, becoming one of the pioneers in developing online live gaming experiences.

2008 - 2010

With the rise of new technologies, we introduced mobile betting, allowing users to place wagers from their phones.

2011 - 2014

We migrated our betting engine services to a new platform, allowing us to achieve greater scalability and growth.

2015 - 2017

We reached 1,000 active clients and over 15,000 players.

We hit a record-breaking number of 500,000 bets placed through our betting engine.

2018 – 2024

We have remained solid in the market, thanks to the trust of over 1,500 clients and more than 20,000 players. During this period, we continued to improve and deliver new experiences that are accessible, innovative, and result-driven—always striving to offer more and make things easier for our users.

We also surpassed 40,100,000 bets placed on our platform.

2025

This year, we introduced one of the most complete casino catalogs in the PPH services industry, now featuring over 1,200 titles. Our offering includes slots, live dealer casino games, fishing games, and much more.

We’ve also launched our Crypto Cashier, which allows your players to deposit and withdraw using Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Tether (USDT), and USDC.

Our team is made up of highly skilled professionals with decades of experience in the industry. Some of our senior experts have been in the sportsbook world for over 25 years, back when wagers were placed over the phone and everything was managed with pen, paper, and chalkboards. This deep-rooted expertise, combined with our passion for technology, has allowed us to create solutions that are modern, reliable, and built to last.

Headquartered in Heredia, Costa Rica, ProBookies has grown into a truly global company. Today, we are a team of over 100 people working across the world from Vietnam to the United States and Costa Rica united by a common mission: to deliver the best sportsbook and gaming platforms for our clients.

At ProBookies, innovation isn’t just part of our history it’s the foundation of our future.

Q: How do I become an online bookie?

A: Becoming a bookie is an excellent path to entrepreneurship and financial independence. Successful bookies share some common traits, which include:

Being a self-driven entrepreneur with an aptitude for sales and relationship management skills.
Having an understanding of sports in general and sports betting in particular.
Willingness to learn. Reading and investigating on sports down to the last detail is one of the most important tools that will make you a successful bookie.
Being tech-savvy and having a facility for numbers and accounting are also helpful.

Q: Is being a Bookie legal

A: Our business and platform are registered, licensed, and tax-paying businesses that function under Costa Rican legislation, meaning that all services offered by Probookies are provided legally. However, you may be subject to further laws and regulations in your jurisdiction. We strongly recommend that you seek legal counsel regarding the services you provide to your customers.

Q: How do bookies track their bets?

A: Very few bookies no longer track their bets with pen and paper or cumbersome spreadsheets. Most professional bookies use a pay-per-head software solution that gives them a centralized cloud-based solution that they can access 24/7 from any device. PPH software is inexpensive and specifically built to provide all the necessary industry tools and save bookies management time that they can use to grow their business.

Q: Where do bookies get their betting odds?

A: Some bookies rely on sportsbooks to provide their odds. However, this leaves out the possibility of adjusting the odds depending on what type of bet is placed, which is the most essential part of the bookie business. For example, if every player in your book is betting on a favorite, most bookies would start to move the line in favor of the underdog to try to achieve a more even split. Without this capability, you could be cleaned out if everyone is betting on the same side.

Q: How much money do bookies make?

That depends entirely on the number of active players in your book, the volume of their bets, and how much time and dedication you devote to your business. Many bookies make a full-time job out of it, while others take advantage of the flexibility to make it a side business. It's entirely up to you!

Q: What is a bookie's schedule?

A: Like many entrepreneur businesses, the time you dedicate is hard to determine and might vary in different seasons. Running a sportsbook bookie business requires you to work nights and weekends, since most sports follow this pattern. The sports schedule will broadly define when and how much you'll be required to work.
