Beware of BetCasinoSport (SBR rating D-)
The sportsbook is stepping up its email campaign with 40% cash bonus offers up to $5,000. Spreading the word of high bonuses instead of investing in advertising is usually a sign that the sportsbook does not have the funds to make an initial investment and is unlikely to have the financial backing to survive a long winning streak by players, who are already ahead with bonus cash. It is common for these sportsbooks to fail, disappear and attempt to take another shot with a new name and similar bonus offers. SBR has also learned that BetCasinoSport shares the same server IP address as the website WagerParadise.com which is operated by the owner of bet33 (SBR rating F) and stiff sportsbook, Apex Sports (SBR rating F).

SBR Bill Dozer reports: Scam sportsbooks sharing account details Player reports sportsbook opens account on his behalf, complete with password.
"Hi Bill, I received this today from scam book bet33. As you can see they had already created an account for me. And I can log into using a password that I normally use. I have a feeling they got my password from either RichCoast Sports or NoJuice as I know from other forums that customers account details and passwords where sold. Just thought I’d let you know so you can warn people."
Players should always use a different password for each sportsbook account. If possible, a scam sportsbook will continue to steal even after its doors are closed. SBR has received multiple
complaints of theft from players who now regret using the same password with multiple betting sites.
