History[edit]
Founded in 1994, the company is a privately held online gaming company, licensed and located in San Jose, Costa Rica. Wagerweb.ag features an online sportsbook and racebook, an online casino and an online poker room. The company caters to a mostly American customer base. Besides normal sports events, WagerWeb offers betting lines on media related events. In 2024 after booking a 10 team parlay with a potential payout of 89k, WagerWeb claimed that the winning ticket was subject to a cap of 50k and stole 39k from popular internet forum poster JDS aka BeatTheJerk.

From their conception until 2004 WagerWeb employed betcbs.com as its primary operating site. WagerWeb was forced to migrate and adopt WagerWeb.com as a their primary site due to violating CBS Inc.'s trademark. Wagerweb never released the domain to CBS but agreed not to use the domain for gaming purposes.[2]
In Spring of 2013, WagerWeb.com rebranded to WagerWeb.ag and in 2018 to WagerWeb.eu.[3]
