betislands Sportsbook receives rating upgradebetislands (SBR rating B) players have continued to report positive experiences with the sportsbook. Much of the positive feedback surrounds General Manager "Jon Kreta", who prides himself on attention to detail and VIP service of player accounts.
betislands is the youngest sportsbook to occupy a top five-slot in the SBR posters
sportsbook poll. The biggest hurdle has been website uptime - in June of 2011 the sportsbook experienced downtime due to technical outages within their building. Since that time,
betislands infrastructure and website performance has improved.
As a result of their efficiency,
betislands Sportsbook has received another sportsbook rating upgrade. The last upgrade made on August 5th was posted after SBR verified that the operation is backed by established industry bookmakers. SBR will continue to evaluate customer service and payout feedback as the sportsbook grows.
betislands players with feedback are asked to write to
help@sportsbookreview.com; alternatively players may voice their feedback within the SBR
Sportsbook & Industry forum.
