    Thoughts on mybookie
    Signed up here to have another out, because it was advertised on a podcast I liked, and, of course, the bonus.

    I hate this one.

    Looks like it’s newer and visually appealing, but the UX is frustrating and illogical.

    In live betting, the lines are absolutely ridiculous. They’ll be something like +260 on one side and -580 on the other side. Same game on 5 dimes is +335 and -450.

    One of their promo codes was literally “SQUARE”. No joke. Can see the boys yucking it up at the call center on that one.

    Also, they bombard you with emails and texts hyping each game so that you can bet on it. “Can the Gators tame those Tigers in Baton Rouge?”. Dudes, if I’ve gone to the trouble of getting 4-5 offshore accounts, I generally know what the line is on every MAC game—and maybe even Ivy League hoops—and I don’t need to be sold on a top tier SEC tilt.

    The write-ups are complete BS. It’s like if Mike Warren retired in the Caribbean.

    Something just rubs me the wrong way about the place.

    Bonuses leave the books with excuses to cut limits and/or not pay. Do yourself a favor and play with Bookmaker, Heritage, or if you want a large cash bonus, even gtbets.

    Bonuses are like sucker bets.

      Those lines are very wide..hard to bet anything like that. Need tighter lines to wager on.

                They paid me many times but the book generally sucks. The only nice thing is initially you get good lines on the sharper side of a game.. Another half point generally. The bonuses have a reasonable rollover. The payout time is literally 6 days. They have also underpaid me. When I called them on it and said don't even try the btc fluctuation excuse... They paid me back in free play... Which sucks, and let's me know it was intentional

                  I have had an pretty massive payout issue with them as of late. Make sure you read there rules before depositing money, many of them are seemingly illogical and make it far too easy for them to prevent payout. I would also reccommend reading the thread i started on this forum titled "is this normal". I had started an inquiry into mybookie's rules and was suprised to find out that many of the members of this forum seem to have had negative experiences with them. best of luck

                    I tried them, ran through a rollover and had no problem getting paid but there is no other reason to use them over another book. I had numerous problems with grading errors and BJ mistakes but to their credit they fixed it every time. Without a great bonus I wouldn't use them again.

                      Just wait until they force you to make 15K in straight bets well after you have blown through your rollover about 10x and then on your last 3 bets you make to meet this fictional new rollover they cancel and steal your winnings after claiming steam plays because the lines moved a half point 5 hours after your bets were made.

                      They are crooks and will do anything they can to not pay you.

                      You see so many shady things online about them.

                      Just imagine all the other customers they screw over who don't know about SBR.

                      Screw as many people over and use stolen funds to pay for marketing.

                      I got screwed over by BetUS and have been waiting for about a payment a year from TopBet but I still hate MyBookie more than any book I have ever played at and I've been playing offshore since the 90's and have used well over 100 books.

                      They are the worst book I have ever played at that is still open.

                                    Zack/Robbie is not associated with mybookie.

                                    He has actually run a pretty decent group of shops for the past 5 or so years I've played at various ones. Paid me out probably close to $50k over various skins before limiting/banning.

                                          Sometimes not all of it, as in my case........they stiffed me $1250.

                                          He did the right thing by making it public.

                                          I made the mistake of keeping quiet about it.

                                          They screw with everyone until it goes public.

                                          I will forever remind everyone how they screwed me.

                                          I will do whatever it takes to let everyone know how shady they are.

                                          They screwed over the wrong guy.

                                              Tried to withdraw $375 winnings on a $350 bet. Delayed payment for authentication. Had to contact their rep, after about a week. Then they lied and said I requested a deposit bonus. Called to berate me on the phone. Wiped out my account funds and future bets. Wish I had seen their review here first. Stay away from these crooks.
