      They seem to be paying like clockwork, but is the kind of book if things go bad, I could see them go the BetOnSports route. If they are making money will stick around, if not ...

          Thanks imgv94. I hear The RX is now deleting all posts criticizing an advertising sportsbook. What a shame. Their #1 Platinum advertiser SBG Global are robbing people and the sheep over there don't even know it.

              He said the programmer was asking for $5,000/week not $5,000/month so $15,000 for 3 weeks was the correct charge.

                SBGglobal (SBR rating D-) steals $25,000 from player

                The bettor was credited with a $7,500 "bailout" after PlayersTime (SBR rating F) closed. A three time roll-over (wagering a total of $22,500) was required. The player wagered his funds for two months surpassing the rollover requirement and winning his balance, which then should have been his free and clear, up to $25,000. SBG confiscated this money, again citing "sharp action" as a reason for deleting player balances. SBG also tells SBR that the player was able to wager $2,000 per parlay and should have been limited to $1,000 despite what the software allowed him to risk. This same operation also stiffed players whose accounts were purchased from SunsetSports (SBR rating F), claiming the players violated rules by being sharp and having "inside info". The total amount reported stolen by SBG Global in the past year exceeds $80,000.



                Player to SBG:
                The rules were that SBG posted I had to roll over the $7500.00 (3) times and that was it, so I did. Now I am having to deal with this again. I thought you guys were a good book in taking the account and honoring some of the funds owed to me. I log onto my account and I was not able to see any of my bets and or balance. I called up and I called 5 different times and got the same story “account is under review” and so forth. I finally get to speak to you Randall and your telling me I didn’t obey the rules on my account. Well at the time of the $7500.00 being credited to my account no one stated any limits and there were no limits on my account. I know with other books you are able to put certain limits on the account and a huge company like you having 3k more active customers are telling me you have no way to limit a customers limits on there account. Come on now that is not true where these small mom and pop shops do know how to do that. I kept up my end of things and roll it over more then 3 times as that is all WHAT WAS TOLD TO ME. I didn’t even ask for a cash-out and your telling me “I probably wont get nothing” now I have to deal with this again.

                  SBG Global (SBR rating D-) cancels five-figure withdrawal, asking player to get in contact with management. Management has been unavailable and has not attempted to contact the player. SBG users with substantial balances are advised to withdraw their funds immediately. This past year the sportsbook has reverted to its old ways of hassling and stealing from large balance holders after a relatively quiet two year period.

                    Many books in steal and shut down mode these days. I feel for the guys that got shafted and then were bailed out, only to get shafted again. It's sad.
                    Going to the place that advertises for SBG probably isn't a great idea. They will have their shills attack you and try to damage your credibilty and throw some unthinkable lies your way while they are at it.

                      The Rx is the best example for what Shack describes, that forum is just horrible and i feel sorry for everyone who posts there regularly.
                      Dont support such fuckers that take money from thieves like SBG.

                        Are theRX trying to outscore MW to be the shittiest forum out there?

                          Yes. I get a kick out of Der Fuhrer Wilheim saying to weigh the "pros and cons" before choosing a sportsbook. The asswipe deletes posts that show a negative light on SBG!!

                            And the "pros" being the cash in the bank and the "cons" being the numerous negative postings which can always be deleted.

                            If the best that people can do at SBR is to debate whether or not VIP should have an A or a B rating then you know you're in a pretty good place.

                              Them, EOG and the rest of the bunch get too much respect.
                              It´s tolerated by most, because that´s just the way it is, and who cares if the place has enough posters to keep the spamming fun.
