Why play at any??

I do not play there, but many people like them because they offer many live bets... The pioneer books shoud offer them too, and then the SBT etc. will be shifted away.

A lot of the Sportingbet sites have been around longer than the A-rated books.

These Sportingbet sites are unbelievably complicated. The more Bill Dozer explains about them, the more confused I get (but I appreciate the effort!) lol

So what would be useful to know is which ones are totally independent.

Betonusa- according to some mods at EOG is completely independent.

Hollywood-?

BetUSA-?

These come to mind, any others?

BetOnUSA uses World Gaming software but is a different operation. BetUSA's owner is the only one that is involved in day to day activity outside of the London-based sites. This isn't a cure-all for the former Sportingbet CS mishaps.

I understand people wanting to sort this group out. These books offer enough with credit card processing and Bodog-type bonuses that it is worth the liability for some. For those who get cashback or miles on credit cards, they will hang on until the cost of playing there increases. For the guy who doesn't know how to play their game, a dispute can be a nightmare.

Do all the people that have disputes with these books eventually get paid or are they still confiscating balances?

Of those who complained to SBR, a good portion were refunded after our meeting with management. Some players were credited after a year. Talks broke down when the company went through restrucring due to the Port Act. There are players who didn't get confiscated funds back and there is a guy who lost 20k+ to virtual horse racing bets he didn't place. I think 2 of the Virtual Horse "glitch" victims actually posted here and were refunded. At least 5 others were credited at the same time. A few players had their winning wagers canceled when Sportingbet Plc sold.
