Are they a safe out?

thank you

IIRC, they have some unusual T&C's regarding rollover. Be sure to check that out before any bonus is credited to your account

Good advice koko.

I personally don't have any concerns about safety at Sportbet, but they do have low limits (~$250) and high rollovers on bonuses (~7x ??)

Maybe you can bargain on those points but, if those are the numbers, you would be in a position of having to place over 40 max bets to complete the roll.

I wouldn't say they never have an opinionated line but it is not a specialty.

It would be a fair bit of work to complete that roll.

Thought so, he was/is well liked and would solve problems quickly. Not sure if his departure affects their rating

As far as low-limit recreational books go I have always had good experiences here. $250 limit. I've never had more than about $2500 here and got a payout for that with no problem.

As already stated, their rollover requirements are quite unique to put it mildly. Take an afternoon off and familiarize yourself with them by reading through their homepage. That said, they are safe and offer some very opinionated lines, particularly in their game props. Further to the plus side, I sent them an email asking them to raise my limits online to $500, which they did for a while. However, the downside of that is that I went through a good stretch there, and my online limits were lowered to the standard $250, then lowered further still to $100.
