casineto Sportsbook, a $50 payout is too much
casineto Sportsbook (SBR rating F) was added to SBR's sportsbook blacklist in October of 2010. Sports bettors are able to deposit into casineto, but are not likely to be paid by the scam sportsbook. One such player continues to write to SportsbookReview, the player requested $50 on December 13th, 2009. casineto has not filled his withdrawal.

Delinquent withdrawal requests
casineto owes the few players it has over $12,000. casineto has a troubled history, littered with slow-pay complaints and website failures since being assessed with a D- rating in August of 2009. SBR believes that casineto players best chance at payment is for the sportsbook to be bought out, such an aquisition is made unlikely by the fact that the casineto domain holds little value for potential investors.

SBR will update this report.
