Thoughts on Sportbet?

[whatsgood5]

Anyone ever had a problem with it or anything to not recommend it? Anyone reccomend this one? If I can double up on a game with my points today, I'm gonna go with the $250 free play, but want to make sure it's at least a decent book.

Thanks in advance!

Good question..........I asked a month ago and there were tons more negatives then positives from posters.

I played with them years ago and never had a problem or disliking with them.

why not go with BetPhoenix

why not go with BetPhoenix

I read on here a couple weeks ago that someone said the max withdrawl on the freeplays is only $150.

Thanks for the info. I see they're listed as a "B" in the ratings so that kind of worried me a little bit, but I think I'll take my chances.

You can't get overnight lines in many of the sports and they don't offer the option of buying points on many games.

It's a nice enough book but I'm going back to 5 dimes.

I play there regularly (not very much after baseball, but some!) and I think that they are very ok.

I don't think the $250 bonus is a freeplay, but rather a cash bonus. Can't verify this as there may be different terms for different deposit options.

Their bonus offer is good and it is easy to clear. However if you want to bet big (over $500 I think) you have to call in the wager.
What is great about these guys is that it is veeery easy to earn loyalty points. If you deposit and go for the full bonus - and make it through the rollover - you will have earned yourself at least a $50 freeplay.

Odds are not as good as matchie, pinnacle and those guys, but they are ok. At times they can be slow to cut their lines. I haven't been steam playing as a rule, but I have taken some out-of-line odds and did max bet on them without being limited.

Also take a look at their daily perks offer, in particular the best bet bonus. Note that you need to have an active account to take that offer (4-5 wagers per week) even if that isn't specified in the terms.

Payout time for me have generally been 12-24 hours, but have taken longer on occation. I have taken at least $6000 from from them in payouts, so they do pay.

They offer a lot of props on NFL and also on NBA. Odds are about the same as you would find with 5d and BetPhoenix though.

CS is fast reliable, but they close up shop during the night.

They regularly (once a month-ish) send out special reload bonuses, 15-25%.

My info may be out dated.................

I played with them a few years ago. I liked dealing with Jake who ran the shop. I was posting at RX and he had me give him a call and we talked for about 45 minutes or so just about the industry and what my opinions were of his shop and service and what I thought about some others that were advertisers there, etc.

At the time I felt that he was a must have out for 2nd half lines. I do not know how they are now regarding 2nd halves (like I said it's been a few years). But at that time I felt his shop had no equal for 2nd half lines.

I just found that I wasn't needing or using them for anything else. So I took a payout and never looked back.

I use them also and agree with everything posted here. Have not had any issues with this place, would recommend to others.

I used a free play there but they just made me miss 5dimes. no problems though.

[magynuck]

Reliable but if you are sharp will cut limits.

Do they have free monthly payouts? If not, how much do you need to pay for a payout? Thanks.

My friend played at sportbet early this past summer. He was down and wanted to take advantage of there 50% bonus. He got on a roll with them and won, You have to keep the account active for 30 days and roll the money I believe 6X to keep the bonus and get paid out. Once my friend met there upfront requirement they paid them out lightning quick. It was like same day or I believe next day Western Union withdrawal.

I have an account there and last I checked it was about $60 for a FedEx Check. I asked about all their withdrawal options and just a few months ago there was no free payouts at all.

not always. shops like this do not like sharps,they will cut you off quickly. But for others who grind away for bonuses and good sportsbook offers they are fine, stay under the radar type shop and you will be fine. The free play friday promotion is very generous during bases if used properly. The OP wanted to know if the place was safe and yes it is
