Real Madrid – The First Dynasty
Real Madrid has won 36 La Liga titles, most recently in 2023-24. The Whites are equally famous for their success in the UEFA Champions League, where they have won 15 championships, including their latest title in 2023-24. Real Madrid won four UEFA Champions League titles from 2014 through 2018, including three in a row from 2015-16 through 2017-18.
Former manager Carlo Ancelotti won La Liga with Real Madrid in 2021-22. Ancelotti also won major league championships at AC Milan in Serie A, Chelsea in the English Premier League, and Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1.
Xabier Alonso took the reins in June 2025. He is a former Real Madrid player.
Barcelona – The Second Dynasty
Barcelona rivals Real Madrid as the most powerful franchise in La Liga. Barcelona has 28 La Liga titles, including the 2024-25 title. From 2004-05, Barcelona won 11 titles. Barcelona has won five UEFA Champions League titles, most recently in 2015.
Hansi Flick replaced Xavi as Barcelona's manager for 2024-25 and made a powerful impact.
Xavi was the manager since 2021 and led Barcelona to the 2022-23 La Liga title. As a player, he was named World Soccer Player of the Year in 2010. He was a star midfielder for Barcelona from 1998-99 to 2014-15.
Flick quickly made his mark on a young Barça team. While the team's general statistics -- possession, passes, and ball recoveries -- were not too dissimilar to the previous season, Barça was playing a higher defensive line, pressing better, getting into the final third quicker, and lasting 90 minutes.
Off the pitch, Flick has successfully navigated the external noise that often brings coaches down at Barça. He has accepted the club's awkward financial situation and has refused to complain. Additionally, he has said all the right things about La Masia, the club's youth academy.
Of course, Barcelona has one of the all-time great forwards, Robert Lewandowski. Lewandowski arrived from Bayern Munich of the German Bundesliga in 2022 and has 77 goals in 116 apps for Barcelona. While at Bayern Munich, Lewandowski scored 238 goals in 253 apps. The highly decorated Lewandowski is a two-time FIFA Best Men’s Player (2020 and 2021).

Aside from Barcelona and Real Madrid, the next most successful club in Spanish football is Atletico Madrid. Diego Simeone led this club to the 2020-21 La Liga title, the 11th league championship in the club’s long history.
Athletic Bilbao was the team of the 1930s, winning four of their eight La Liga championships during that decade. This club has been incredibly successful despite its Basque policy, which severely limits its potential player pool. Their youth system sparks envy among many clubs, as they must develop their talent as much as possible.

Betting Rules & Policies
Free Play Rules
- Free plays cannot be used on proposition bets.
- Free Plays do not earn any BetPoints™
- Bets made using Free Plays do not count towards completing any rollovers. (Free Plays are always subject to a rollover of their own. You must complete the required rollover prior to making a withdrawal).
- The maximum payout for any Free Play is $5,000.
- Free Plays that are left unused for 180 days will be removed from your account.
ROLLOVER
- Did you know that on all deposits made at BookMaker, there is a rollover requirement: an amount of betting action you must fulfill before you are eligible to make a withdrawal.
- Did you know that rollovers are calculated by multiplying the amount initially credited to your account a certain number of times? Yes! If you deposit without claiming any bonus, the rollover will always be 1x (one-time) your deposit amount. If you do claim a deposit bonus, the rollover will be higher and is based on the deposit plus bonus amount.
Wager disputes (claims)
If you disagree with any aspect of a wager you’ve placed, you are welcome to log an official dispute (commonly known as a “claim”). Claims must be reported no later than 15 (fifteen) calendar days following the settlement of the wager.
If following an initial review of the case there remains any doubt regarding the wager type, line, market, amount, or any other detail, the claim will be escalated to the BookMaker management team. All decisions made by them are final.
Wager Cash Out - How it works
With the Cash Out feature you can choose to eliminate a wager that's already been placed, and receive back either a portion, or your full stake amount.
Cash Out is selectively available on certain events, fixtures, and markets.
In order to see if a wager is eligible to be cashed out, simply navigate to your Bet Slip and check the 'My Open Bets' tab. If eligible, the Cash Out button will be displayed.
It’s also important to note that Cash Out is not contributing to any bonus or promotion including Bet Point accumulation and Rollover for releasing bonus cash.
