    Sportsbook.ag DOES NOT PAY IT'S CLIENTS!!!!!!!!!!

    Been at this site for about 3 years....never cashed out before.....completed their KYC and got confirmation from them on 2/17/12.

    Chose the wire method because the amount was almost 5 figures and I wanted it all asap. They confirmed it had been "processed" on 2/28 and I could expect the money any day.

    Then I got an email on 3/3/12 stating that they would not be able to wire to my bank in the future. It was no longer included as a bank they could do business with......but this wire was valid and once again, I could expect my money any day now.

    Another live chat on 4/2/12 assured me that the wire "processed" on 2/28 was valid.......but now they want me to send in my bank statements from 2/28/12 to present!!!

    I did that and informed them of such via email on 4/7. 11 days passed and I sent them an email today. They responded right away that my wire had been located (whatever that means) and the money had been redeposited into my account.

    It's there alright, but that's the last place I wanted to see it!!! I will never bet there again and I strongly suggest everyone who reads this to jump ship. These guys are dishonest to say the least.

    This is ridiculous beyond my belief. I suggest to any and all to get off this ship ASAP. Today is 4/18/12 and STILL NO MONEY......MY MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!

    My total with them is over $12K and now they are telling me I would need to request my money in check form (my bank is now not on their "wire list") at a pace of $2500 each time and a 6-8 week time frame.

    I have ZERO confidence they will ever send out a check.

    6-8 weeks for them to send a check? Fukkin pathetic

    No idea why anyone gets involved with these types of shops with so many other good options out there.

    Fish, if you're ending up having to request check(s) from a shop like this make sure by "check" they mean m-oney o-rders. Otherwise you'll be waiting 2 months for a check that may or may not come and then wait another 60 days after depositing said check before you'll truly know if it clears. (intl checks take up to 2 months to really clear, though your bank may release funds to you prior as a courtesy.) -500 says it probably bounces.

    Or if they offer p2p payouts just do 2 a week (one from each p2p company) for about 900 each until your funds are out. Will be much more expensive that way but at this point you just need to get out what you can now and move on to a real book.

    they are a complete joke.. Many, many years ago it was the first book I played at until I found SBR.. They would usually pay but it ALWAYS took 6 to 8 weeks. The few times I would win it wouldn't even feel like a win cause I gotta wait months to get paid.. And it's a chore, you have to stay on top of them.

    Thanks for the insight fellas. I just found SBR recently or I would have steered clear of these guys. Here's hoping others see this in time.

    They've always paid me out when I played there.

    Problem is they severely limited me in every category where they hang badly.

    Can't say I plan on re-depositing if they continue to take 6-8 weeks to payout their clients.

    There is no excuse for the way they slow pay. Getting a check sent via courier should always be an option.

    I have also always been paid by them over the years. Haven't played there i a while. Also a thing to note i was paid within a few days by them when they had the *** withdraw option until it got busted by govn. Its really cause the govn that there fast options got taken away.

    Really? It's the government's fault that Sportsbook.ag slowpays?

    Funny how BI, 5D, Heritage, RW, Legends, etc, etc, etc, etc don't have issues paying in a prompt manor.

    It doesnt take 6-8 weeks to send a p2p or courier a check. Hell, even if it was sent pony express it would only take about a week.

    No need to make excuses for a book that deliberately slowpays.

    I'm assuming those books don't have anywhere close to the amount of clients that sportsbook.com does.

    Its not really a slowpay when it says it on the cashout page that it takes this amount of time. I use all the books u mention and your right they all have fast options to pay, but i have also used SB.com from 7years ago and i can say they are not doing this deliberately. I have gotten payouts from them just last year within a day or 2 like clockwork. And yes the govn took out there fast methods of payment not a fairy tale as i used those methods up until last year when they when down. Also what goblue just said they have a huge customer base of players, which is probably why this delay not because they don't have $.
