    Why on earth is Carib only a "B"?
    Bodog is still rated an A after that debacle last spring with checks. Bookmaker hoses its customers with withdrawal and transfer fees, not to mention the constant spam calls i receive from them. Vip Sports had to run a Bourne Identity check on me before I could even sniff a withdrawal. Their customer service is disorganized and lost some important documents of mine and asked if i could resend it. O yea, they don't allow americans anymore. Still an A- also?

    I am no shill but something is wrong with the picture if a book like Carib is rated underneath these so called A books. Whenever I request a payout from Carib, I always receive it the next business day with no hassles or excuses. Their memo customer support service is the best in the business and I always get a reply within a 15-minute timeframe. My limits haven't been reduced either which says a lot in this industry nowadays. Give them a B+ for crying out loud, just because they don't advertise here doesn't mean you give them the shaft. Excellent payouts and customer service from carib, at least an "A" in my book.

    I have nothing to do with the SBR rating at all. So needless to say thats a question that is best answered by the guys in the office.

    Thanks for your patronage.

        I am always glad to see these kinds of discussions. Carib have all the regular ewallet options? Reduced juice? Bonus for sign up? Convince me further why I should play there?

        Internet limits?

          Agree with what you say, but what does Carib have to offer?

                Ewallet options are as follows: ****/**, *************, solidpay, instadebit, Fedex, and ECO.

                *Note... ****/** were working for U.S. players as of roughly a month ago

                50% Sticky signup bonus

                No reduced vig at all

                Not sure exactly what their internet limits are offhand, however here is a excerpt they have on the rules page on this subject:

                The minimum and maximum wager on a sporting event varies from $2 and up. There is no limit, in most cases, on the number of wagers that may be placed on any individual event, team or total. Management reserves the right to limit or refuse any wager.

                  Just speak to management. I avg. a nickel on games and have bet only once or twice a dime on a game. People can bet higher if you ask them to raise your limits.

                  Juice is reduced on several games, not the whole card. This is not a book for bonus whores as I don't recall receiving one when I deposited there. But, maybe I missed the signup bonus I'm not sure.

                  **** Debit still works there, but they have e-wallet, *******, and money transfer to deposit and withdraw there. If you have trouble depositing, they try everything in their power to get you to deposit there with no trouble.

                      Carib is a good book. They also went through some changes with ownership, management and policies. We would like to see them back at B+ as well. Keep the feedback coming.

                        Have been with Carib for 6-7 years, I guess. Have never had a bad experience with them. Customer service is great. It's not alot, but they do give you free numbers plays on your birthday, Christmas and other holidays. At least a B+, IMO. I have never thought of leaving them, The Greek or BetJ and now Betonline with their reduced juice.

                            Carib customer service is truly great. Their payouts are on time. They do offer their 10% sticky bonus which they occasionally double. They used to have an excellent promotion of -102 or -103 for NFL sides on Tuesdays which they discontinued this year. They also have had 1/2 a point off sides in college football and basketball for several hours Fridays. I am not sure if they still have such a promotion. Their lines are mostly vanilla but, all in all, a B+ for me.

                              Hey im with you all the way in that. I played @ Carib when they had their Free Welcome Bonus just to try out the site and i liked it also I think that every site should have that memo feature which is very quick and effective. I dont understand why SBR rates some of these books as "A+" but they dont accept some countries residents (like them bums @ Pinny and VIP). They should be downgraded for not taking some customers.

                                there goes the A-list if we listen to your advice. almost every (if not every) book, including Carib, does not accept customers from one country or the other.

                                  its annoying to sign up to a book only to be denied just because you live in a certain area. Its like how we werent able to sit in restauants just becaue we werent white

                                      Very few complaints from Carib ever plus a pioneer book

                                      pioneer books are A's period

                                        I'd like to vouch for Carib also. They are on par with the other -110 only A books in terms of service, betting options, and funding methods.

                                        I highly recommend joining their NFL Pick 5 Contest next season as well.

                                          An A+ book. Customer service is excellant. Just took 2 days to get a Fed Ex check from them a week ago. . One thing I don't like though is their software, otherwise a top book.

                                              I used Fed Ex but you could use **, believe there was $30 charge and a $10 pick up so the cost would be $40 instead of the $55 cost of the FEx.

                                                your comparison is off. this has nothing to do with discrimination whatsover. certain countries have certain rules with regards to gambling. bookies can respect these laws or ignore them, to downgrade the ones that respect them does not make any sense.
                                                f you don't like the fact some bookies don't take action from people from your country because the laws in your country don't allow that, move somewhere else or try to change the law. it's your government's fault you can't bet at some places, not the bookie's fault.

                                                  I've been with carib since 2000. I can say their customer service is A+. I don't recall ever having a problem. They also have 10% reload bonuses. If you have to reload your account. They will put in an additional 10%.
