They're rated D- and blacklisted at SBR. Should they be trusted more now, like BetNow?

Nevermind. Irrelevant question for me. I'm in the US, and apparently SBG Global doesn't support new accounts in the US anymore. When you fill out their Join form, they send your info over to BetNow and create a new account there instead. Which was a problem for me because I already had a BetNow account, so I had to contact them and have them deactivate the new one.

I guess it's only BetNow for me

Just noticed I got some free cash by hitting on the FREE Baseball contest.

Yes!!!

**Roger T. Bannon** · 08-12-20, 03:46 PM

Took the plunge with their 100% bonus offer and the deposit process is very smooth. Very impressive.

Interesting thread guys, thanks.
What are the payout options and are there any charges?

So much shilling going on here.

Site did not even exist until less than one year ago.

They are associated with SBG Global.

Take care. You have been warned.

**TopNotch** · 08-14-20, 06:50 AM

I've had an account with BetNow for over a year so they've definitely been around longer than that. And SBG has been around forever. Despite SBRs rating on SBG user feedback has been very positive. I would put far more trust in them than many higher rated books here.

If I remember correctly the D rating came from them taking action against syndicate bettors years ago. Think the frustration was that they wouldn't give SBR evidence that justified their actions, though obviously sportsbook have no requirement to provide evidence to an outside moderator if they choose not to (which of course many people would argue looks bad on them).

Most books that have been around that long have had stains along the way. SIA which is an A rated book has an incredibly checkered past. BOL has had a number of controversies like the poker incident. Yada yada yada. If you look at the entire body of work and history SBG has proven themselves to be a solid out.

No it hasn't.

Here is what the site looked like on 30th June last year.

It came online sometime between then and 26th August 2019.

SBG Global is rated as it is for a good reason. And my own recent requests for us to add Betnow confirmed that remains the SBR opinion.

**TopNotch** · 08-14-20, 07:13 AM

It's .eu not com. Here's a shot from 2016, didn't bother looking to see how far back it went but they've been around for a while.

https://web.archive.org/web/20160323...www.betnow.eu/

Doesn't really matter anyways how long betnow has been around because as we've mentioned they are affiliated with SBG who has solid user feedback for years now.

**Optional** · 08-14-20, 07:20 AM

Ah thanks.

My apologies for that. Both domains are geo blocked for me. And I thought they were new last year :\

Anyway, I asked to have them added and was told the connection with SBG meant it would not be possible to add them with any higher rating than SBG, so they have been left off for now.

**HedgeHog** · 08-14-20, 09:10 AM

I've been with Betnow for about 2 years. Good out and they pay fast, typically same day by BTC (occasionally next day). I believe I'm up significantly on them w/o being limited. Free contests and a true dime lime line on Bases are nice perks as well.

**Crusherrr** · 08-14-20, 09:25 AM

BetNow been great to me. Only issue I had was the casino rollover requirement if you are playing on a sports bonus. The sports bonus then becomes a casino bonus.

Support has been pretty good. They gave me the 100% cash bonus when sports returned with 5x roll even though I was told no more bonuses anymore after cashing out big my first time on the site. Paid quickly with btc with no trouble at all.

I don't follow SBR ratings too closely. I'd rate BetNow higher than the betphoenix/betmania/skybook group who is a pain to deal with and slow pays.

**pimike** · 08-14-20, 09:28 AM

SBG ran their outfit like they were the mob. Bunch of tough guys and set in their ways.

However Betnow is night and day different. Hopefully it will stay that way at Betnow...

That was pretty obvious. SBR does not generally like to acknowledge a connection between books so if they were to rate BetNow, it would have to be a C+ at least and you have SBG rated D- so the only rating SBR can give BetNow is F.

**turbobets** · 08-14-20, 08:10 PM

5Dimes clone for the most part and Pinnacle for esports.

**BigBlueNYG** · 08-14-20, 08:13 PM

I'm not saying this site is legit never played there. But Optional is quick to respond and say be careful because SBR doesn't receive and $ fro them. However Youwager can steal a players money and it takes a month to investigate and post a statement. Youwager does help pay the bills here though.

**Shutup** · 10-22-20, 09:42 PM

Signed up with them a couple years ago but haven't sent in a while
Got a 100% match bonus and was going to send
Happened to look at terms and apparently they do not provide services for

HAWAII
DELAWARE
NEVADA

NEW JERSEY
NEW YORK

Anyone know about this?
If so, why hasn't there been a lock on these accounts
If I had won sent money and won what would happen?

**Bryan T** · 10-22-20, 10:27 PM

I keep getting a banner suggesting to raise my limits and it will only take 20 mins when I check my pending bets. As anyone actually done this? It's different then the sentence that's always there while live betting

Thanks.

And make sure you keep that email. It does sound like a potential issue later.

**Katsumoto** · 10-25-20, 01:41 AM

With all the issues other sites are having recently, this is probably the best book out there.

it is astounding that someone can be employed in this industry and know as little as you. more astounding that he can be so arrogant when he knows so little. you are a moron, optional, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

says something about what SBR has become when they trot this guy out there to spill false nonsense all day.

really amazing.

**Optional** · 11-29-20, 05:30 PM

Yes I made a mistake with the domain extension. Someone else already corrected me months ago.

My bad

One day hopefully I can improve and be correct about everything, if I can get past this moron problem you mention. Thanks for your feedback.

Optional has helped tons of people on SBR. He has helped me on multiple occasions. You have 26 posts and you're calling him a moron? Maybe you should STFU.

But don't worry ACE, if he is looking that hard to find something to attack me over, it just means he must not be able to come up with an argument to use in the Teasers and Cancelled Games thread that he is actually mad at me about. But I'm the moron...

**patswin** · 11-30-20, 09:41 AM

Interesting that they do not take NY customers, since i am in NY and kept getting 100% cash reload text
offers from betnow. I took them up on it last week. So far so good, I played there a few years ago but never cashed out I iike the +100 odds on 6 point NFL teasers.
