The answer I’ll give it to you in one shot: it’s simpler than anywhere else in the world. Now you want to know why, right? Ok, here we go: why the most reputable price per head sportsbook software companies are located in this Central American country and why they’ve chosen it to run your Call Center and Internet Casino business from there.
- Betting software development: The biggest names out there for online sports gaming software have offices in Costa Rica. This allows a price per head shop to have the technicians come and personally do the updates whenever it is deemed necessary and have a more overall close contact with the company that provides the sports betting and casino software.
- Highly skilled professionals: Costa Rica has been the Mecca for online sports gambling companies since the early days of BetOnSports –one of the pioneering sportsbooks- which paved the road for the rest of the online sports betting call centers that came afterwards. It’s been 10 yrs. approximately since the boom exploded in Costa Rica and thus, that means there is a fully bilingual Costa Rican workforce with lots of experience working in the online sports gambling fields whether it is at line moving, wagering, sales, marketing or in customer service positions with highly developed skills. These people exactly what online gambling is about and what is the best way to service customers from the US but also from other parts of the world.
- Geographic location: Yes, just like in real estate location is key. If you live in Miami, getting to Costa Rica by plane will not take you more than a couple hours which is ultra-fast considering you’re more than 5 countries away. This is truly an advantage for sports betting and internet wagering business owners as they can travel back and forth from Costa Rica to anywhere in the States and not really have to lose a lot of time in the process. They can see their clients eye to eye if they want, in just a few hrs. by simply hopping on a plane. It is, needless to say, a beautiful country and it is growing: everyone’s eyes are in Costa Rica right now so if you want to diversify and expand your Price Per Head bookmaking business you can easily mingle and associate with other Internet Sports Wagering companies to help strengthen your operation. After all if you live in Costa Rica, your competition is probably also your neighbor, so the closeness of the industry can help you get ahead of the game.
- Great technological infrastructure: If you want water in Costa Rica you got it. If you want electricity or telephone service you got that too. The electricity and telecommunications company provides anything you need to run a successful business meant to be fully operational 24/7 rain or shine, whether there is a tropical storm or a hurricane. The company is as efficient as it gets in Central America. You can have wi-fi and plenty of internet bandwith to run your business. Price per Head gaming solutions have taken advantage of this so that they can ensure its costumers that no matter what happens, phones will still be ringing, players will still be logging in to place their wagers and the player betting activity will still be tracked min. by minute, before the game starts. After all, sportsbooks and call centers in Costa Rica represent a good portion of today’s growing economy. The government knows this and makes sure they can provide all the technological tools that operations like a Price Per Head sportsbook may need to subsist.
- Political and Financial stability: You don’t want your bookmaking business records confiscated by the local government, your money or property seized by force, or having to stop operations because, coincidentally, there is a riot or a rebellious group trying to overturn the govt. None of this happens in this tranquil and pacific land. Costa Rica has been army-free for 60 years now and its democratic government is elected by its people every 4 years in what they call “Fiesta Patria” meaning, Election day becomes an actual party where people go out on the streets and respectfully celebrate the joy and the freedom of being able to choose their political destiny. Protests in Costa Rica, take place in peace: usually there are marching rallies for social causes but these never involve vandalism, violence or looting so your money, your On-line wagering sports business, and your information is safe.
These are only a few reasons why most Price Per Head shops and other betting software solutions providers are located in Costa Rica, and it has proven over the years to be as profitable and as convenient or even more than any other place where online sports bookmaking is permitted.
