    Sportsbook.com rip-off

    Whay isn't Sportsbook.com a F rated book? Also, on OSGA they are not rated a blacklisted book yet either?! When you send a book money and request a payout and they "don't" pay you, they should not be taking anyone's money.

    They pay players sporadically - even often. They mostly restrict their outright theft to the lager players.

    SBR reserves the "F" rating for books that don't pay anyone.

    Hey Justin,

    That's not necessarily true, See bet33 for example.

    funny? i guess this new laptop im on right now and the other 8k in my bank (all received in the last month from sportsbook.com) is just a hoax!!

    crap!! I been fooled again!!

    took me 8 weeks to get my money and still have some on the way but I bankrolled 24k from a $350 deposit in 2 months and they are paying me.. not quickly but hell it's better than a stick in the eye!!

    I'm glad you got paid, Ken. Search the forums here - they've stolen 100's of thousands of dollars from players in the last year.

    Actually I am not a huge fan of them. I ended up on this site because I was worried about getting paid.
    I have read all kinds of negative posts about them and I feel very LUCKY that I have been getting paid. they still owe me 16k so let's hope the luck stays strong.
    I cashed out my entire bankroll with them in late november and have had a balance of zero since then. I really expected them to cut me off at some point.

    truth be told I tried to cash out at around $1000 but it was going to take so long I just wrote my $350 off and started playing. I would of never been so bold with my money but I figured I was never going to see it after all the negative comments so I started making bigger bets and just won alot of them.

    But to say that they dont pay at all is not true..

    Sportsbook.com can not be trusted

    Look, if anyone gets money from this outfit...good for them, but that said, if anyone sends them money and the ask for a refund and they give them the run around to the point of having no hope, then they are just not credible and should be rated "F". They should go back over all their accounts and pay anyone who asked for a refund and told they would receive one and then have in placed back into their account. They should be out of the "game".

    they are not an f at all. they have paid me A LOT of money this year. Use my wallet payouts happen very quickly. the truth is they are very big and its our governments fault. If you are not comfortable playing online i suggest using a local. Getting all worked up isn't going to do you any good and in the end you will be paid. I promise you max they will pay you unless you did something odd....

    We have complaints of hundreds of thousands of dollars stolen by Sportsbook.com - just look at the correlated parlay issue. These guys are crooks. I'm glad you got paid, but I wouldn't put your money there, let alone mine.

    Any book who has a "Weekly Withdraw Update" is unacceptable. My *** w/d took over 3 weeks despite their stating it would be closer to 3 days, this after rejecting a w/d and redepositing TWICE. That was the last straw and the account was closed once the funds were received.

    Good riddance Sportsbook.com

    SBR opts to be behind the times. They will only rate a service an F when it finally goes Under...at which time everyone else knows it too. Kind of silly for an outfit that is supposed to warn you of these failures before this takes place IMO.

    Hedgehog you are 100% correct this is just dumb. Honestly Justin7 if you write that you won't put my money in sportsbook.com how in the world do you not have sportsbook.com as an F. Truth is people that are new to this game should be able to come on here and know exactly what they are getting. If someone that is running this opperation says "I won't put my money or yours in sportsbook.com" and then defends himslef by not rating as an F there is a flaw in the system.

    Personally I bet there for certain reasons. I would not suggest to 99.9% of bettors to make wagers at this place. I know there system inside and out and know in the end they will pay. My honest opinion is that they are not as bad as Justin writes but if he feels that way he has to rate them as an f or his grading system has to be questioned.

    Bookmaker A+ come on that is a complete joke. Carib is 100% better and they are B rated? Come on Justin fix your system

    I have actually been using sportsbook but just paying them as I have yet to get a large enough amoun to cash out. The use my wallet feature in 8 hours sounds pretty good so I was wondering if you could tell me how to set up one of those..

    Getting set up is the issue. Call customer service and asked to be invited to Use my wallet. You have to go through a process of paperwork to be approved. Once approved its very ez. When I was first set up in September it was 2-3 biz days, then it started to take a while now its very quick again. 1 day 8 hours 2 days max for me over the last couple of months....>GL NO CHECKS

    Alright thanks. What all paperwork is necessary form the bank account though? I seem to be a little weary on that matter...
