    Cant sportsbooks get in trouble....

    If they are putting pictures of players on their website, without that players authorization.....

    I seem some sites with people dressed as athletes (models). On some sites they have actual players....

    If the uniform doesn't show the team or player name or any type of logo you can use the image pretty much for anything... I remember a while back when the place I worked for got in trouble for having NFL players on their site... kept the players but removed logos and and names, after that it was all good.

    Yeah I remember when she was doing things for us at that time then we moved over to Nikki Cox, but that's not the question here, it's about sports players being used on the site...

    Dax I read the question being asked but just wanted to make a comment about her because it made me think of it.

    As for players, Tim Brown comes to mind but I can't remember what book he was alway touting for, any help?

    Dax, from this post I gather you use to be employed @ Sportsbook.com? If so, what happened to that brand, I use to play at MySportsbook.com about 4 years back and I received large amounts in payouts on a consistent basis without ever having any problems and now I look at their ratings and its in the D range. Stopped using them because of this but never had any problems just wondering what went down for such a well known company to just go to shit in a short span.

    The real reason... They got too big and started caring less and less about the player... At least that's what I saw, can't really say it was that...

    If they are players from teams which the book sponsors I expect that it would be part of the deal and quite legit.

    Thing with mysportsbook was that SB.com only did Customer Service for them... the rest was handled buy some other entity... That's probably why ur experience with them was a tad bit better.
