My Experience with Skybook

When they pay out 14K, it's a B.

I took a 200% FP bonus from Skybook about 4 months ago. Within 4 bets they limited me for MLB. I had to roll about 85k with a max bet of $250. Somehow I got very lucky and ran my account all the way up to 14k. Took forever to do it. About 400 bets in total.
They payout a max of 4k. It takes about 72 hours (weekends not included) to receive a payout. Then you have to wait another 10 days to request another payout and the process starts over. It took me about 50 days to withdraw 14k. At BOL it would have taken 15 minutes.
The one good thing about Skybook is their soccer lines. They have the best soccer prices around. That's mostly what I used to reach the RO.
I really think it's misleading to rate these guys a B. They limit faster than any other book I've ever seen and it takes forever to get paid by them. Shouldn't take 50 days to withdraw 14k worth of bitcoin.
If you're thinking of depositing there to take advantage of their 250% FP holiday bonus I would advise against it. Unless you like getting limited, taking months to reach an RO, and then getting slow paid...

I've been playing at Phoenix (sister book) for probably 10 years. Got some bonuses, rolled them over. Eventually up about 10K, and withdrew most of it. Blew it back, made some more deposits most of which I've lost and some more bonuses. Have probably bet $500,000+ there over the years and have never been limited.

Getting limited to $250 is literally in every single thread on one of these books. I'm surprised that anybody is surprised by this.

However, if I can get a 200% bonus and make $14,000 I will keep doing until the cows come home even if they limit me to $50.

At least they didn't limit you to $25 across all sports. I think the sportsbooks that are under Jazz Sports will do that. :|

Always take their bonuses for the min. So do it for $200, then take the 250% FP offer and you have $500 FP. Parlay it to lock up $350 in cash then go all in on a bet. Now you have $1050 to play with. If you lose- you get to try again. If you win- you have a much better chance at completing the rollover.

I have $5 limits there

You're always sharing good info about bonuses

Yes that's basically what I've done. Buy in for $300-500, and then do it again.

This is a smart way to approach it. I could see this working better.

I've had Betus pay me out over 20k in the last year. They are rated a C+. They also never limited me. Something's gotta give here...

You can have 200% bonuses and get limited or you can not have 200% bonuses and not be limited. But you cannot have 200% bonuses and not be limited.

Just wanted to give my experience with them so others would know what to expect. If you think you can turn a profit off them, by all means go for it.

**Roger T. Bannon** · 12-19-20, 05:24 PM

I'm completing a couple of rollovers at one of the books now. I've got no worries about getting paid. That makes it a B book. There are some things I don't like. But they are a good place to bet.

The grades are based on your likelihood to get paid. Not how annoyed you might get.

**ace7550** · 12-19-20, 06:12 PM

I think the grades are based on more than just getting paid.

**Roger T. Bannon** · 12-19-20, 06:58 PM

That might be the difference between an A and A+. It is definitely not the difference between a C+ and a B.

Being limited to $250 isn't the end of the world when starting limits are $500 (at least for me)

Limited to $250 after 2 bets.

Made a deposit on their sister site BetPhoenix to take advantage of the same promo and limited to $100 before making any bets.

They must be doing some analysis on the BTC wallet I'm depositing from. Annoying. Will have to keep this in mind in the future and use credit card when possible.

I just think it's shady to limit after 2-4 bets. They never intended to give me $500 limits. It was always going to be $250. This would have been fine if they were up front about it.
