    Be careful with this book. The sportsbook opened in June.

    Timothy ****** is involved in this book. He was also involved in stiff poker site Muchos Poker.

    Odds aren't that competitive in American markets.

      Thanks Raiders.

      Was interested as they had pretty nice NASCAR odds close to race time today.

        Never tried them nor have I ever heard about them until now. It's very interesting to see this place get a rating without 1 person coming on the forums to express their experiences with them. I would recommend players to stay away from this shop. The C+ rating is also alarming. A book with 0 client reviews and 0 brand recognition gets a C+ rating to begin on sbr....... smells fishy indeed.

          They wouldn't put them as a D or F scam book with nobody coming forward to say they they've been scammed and unless there was specific information about how solid the owners and the finances are or any players coming forward to say how great they are then they wouldn't be in the A or B top book category either. So simple common sense says they should be something around a C rating, so you're vastly overreacting for absolutely no reason whatsoever with your claim that it "smells fishy".

          You say that there hasn't been anybody coming on here telling of their experiences with them. The fact is that the vast majority of people coming on here are people that think they've been screwed over by a book and want to make a complaint and that not many people come on a forum to post about good experiences. So the fact that nobody has come on here about Sportsbet.io is almost certainly a positive, as the top bookmakers are the ones that you generally don't see much talked about on forums as the top bookmakers are the ones that run like clockwork, get on with the job, not much goes wrong so they generally keep a low profile on forums, because not many people have much to complain at them about and the people that have good experiences are generally going on their merry way and generally don't bother coming on a forum to report about their good experiences.

          If you want to see something that really is actually fishy, look at Covers.com putting SBG Global as number 3 on their "Top Sportsbooks" list.

            I have not tried them yet. Speed of payment is a good thing, but I'll stick with the A+ rated books.

              Hi futbolmundial,

              We understand you probably didn't read the article, and appreciate your feedback nevertheless. SportsBet.io is actually a sister company to BitCasino.io, which has been in the guide since February. You'll further note looking through the ratings of bitcoin exclusive sportsbooks that the C range is typical since these sportsbooks are able to pay a lot quicker than books with traditional cashier options, and as such, there should be no reason players end up being slow-paid. Ratings represent risk; if any of the bitcoin sportsbooks start slow-paying players, we will quickly adjust them into the D or worse range.

                Thanks for the dialogue here... I now understand as to why this shop got a higher than norm grading being that it is a btc bookmakers. Has sbr confirmed the quoted payout times? I may send in a deposit pending your reply.
