How good is GamblersPalace.com?

[hodges650]

For the past 3 years I have used (and some of my buddies) GamblerPalace.com and have not really had any problems. I only tried to cash out money once and it did take them a few weeks, but I did get it. On the review site, they are listed as an F, but I wondered if anyone else has had any bad experiences with them?

It is about that time for football season and I was trying to find a good site (based upon your reviews) that also offers the highest bonuses. Any suggestions?

Sounds like you should just consider yourself lucky with that "F" book and not push your luck any further:

Some trustworthy books with good sign-up bonuses:

ABC Islands/Jazz (up to 25% bonus)
WWTS/WageronSports/Cybersportsbook (20%)
WagerWeb/BetDon (20%)
Legendz/Dimeplayer (20%)
VIP/BetOnGames (20%)
5 Dimes (20% match-play)
CRIS/DSI (20% match-play)

I'd have to know more about your betting style to narrow it down from there. It's worthwhile to check the sites because I think a couple of them may even have better deals going on right now.

GamblersPalace will contact us from time to time about their low rating. They swear that all players have been paid. So...We send them a list of players owed, and they still swear their debts have been wiped clean. SBR then contacts the player who writes to GP. GP disappears. Process repeats itself 3 months later.

About half of the recommended books offer a 20% bonus. Can you tell us anything else about your betting style?

[hodges650]

I mainly use the online sportsbooks for very low stakes ($1-5 on parlay's and $10 on straight bets), so I like a site that has low minimums. What is the best way to find out the minimums on these sites?

For big bets, I use a "guy" I know

[Bill Dozer]

The Mudcat is going to make us work. 20%...

Bowmans
First Fidelity
BetJam
Bodog (for non-canucks)

Most bonus/recreational books will take the very low minimums.

IF you're betting small, and the book takes weeks to pay, you are playing with the wrong book. Check out bodog and pinnacle, they'll both give you free neteller withdrawals.

Since he plays lower limits BoDog would probably be better for him.

[Mudcat]

5 Dimes sounds like a good fit although their 20% bonus is a match-play. I know they have 50% match-play for certain deposit methods (SolidPay, Moneybookers, e-gold). I've never used those methods so I can't really comment on how good they are.

But 5 Dimes is very friendly to your style. They let you parlay all kinds of stuff with low minimums.

[hodges650]

is BetJam the same as BetJamaica?

[Illusion]

Yes it is hodges650.

[jjgold]

Never heard of the place but like a poster said here if your betting small and still getting slow paid I would move on.

Secondly betting that small just pick any top book and forget bonus because it will not amount to much

Gamblers Palace and their other books are scum. They used to own (and probably still do) Skytowersportsbook and Simplenetbet among others.

speakig from personal experience i had close to 6 dimes in gp almost a year ago they just finished paying me out (one year to get paid out is outrageus) there are tons of better books out there with lines and promos up the wazo that compete with gp and are REPUTABLE!!! take your action someplace else

[bigboydan]

ya, this joint is nothing but bad news, if you don't believe me just ask cecil.

[why]

BetGameDay, Canbet are good for small players.

Good warning. Ace Band Limited is their "business" name and owns all three.

Very well said, but many people usually don't discover places like SBR until they have been scammed already.

[bigboydan]

if i remember correctly, isn't this the place where john changed the rating in exchange to get a few players paid and, then they still stiffed the players anyways.

[hoppa_long]

Why do people put money in a sportsbook that is less than B/A+ in rating? Then complain about getting scam...is there a reason?

Alot of people don't know it is a bad book until its too late.

some people don't know there scam books, if they haven't ran accross these types of forums before.

Whatever happened to Cecil, have seen him post in a long time

[bigboydan]

i don't know what happen to cecil. the last i heard from him was when he was moderating bet2gamble.

[jjgold]

Is that bet 2 gamble site still in operation?

[bigboydan]

the site is still up but, it's not very active as of late JJ

[marc]

It was soon after Cecil took on the moderating job that he disappeared.

JJ,

Not sure why, But looks like CM decided to let the bet2gamble forum die off. The rest of the website he still updates. ANd every so often he sends out a newsletter.

[bigboydan]

i liked b2g myself but, your right marc, it died fast.

Bump...We are reviewing this group. It looks like they may be under rated at present. No new complaints and no remaining issues from folks we could reach.
