Sportsbook takes forever to pay (2 months or so last I heard from reading some of the forum posts) but I haven't read too much of bettors' money being confiscated. I could be wrong about that, but I believe most complaints have to do with payment speed or reduced limits. Is it a good book for a seasoned bettor who will request multiple payouts? No. But for the average hamburger that's going to throw a c-note or two on a book for a few NFL games and make one withdrawal I could think of worse to go with. My first account was with them, haven't used them since I wised up thanks in part to this site years ago, but I will say that they have the easiest interface to use when you compare them to a lot of the other guys.
By rule of thumb, I stay with 5Dimes and BookMaker since I am in the U.S. I never accept bonuses either.
