History
Established in 2002, The Online Betting Guide began as a guide to the best betting sites and latest offers with information to help sports bettors place bets online. Between 2003 and 2004, a tipster competition and forum was added to the site and it grew to become the world’s biggest community of sports bettors who share their knowledge to help others improve their betting. Further down the line, Online Betting Guide became more popularly known as OLBG, and now provides guides and information covering casino and slots as well as sports betting.
