Never take big bonuses with big deposts.
If you are gonna take a 250% offer deposit $300 and just go all in on the first bet. If you win- now you have a shot at rolling it over. If you lose then try again.

They paid me 6k last month, 2k a week max tho, so if you run up a roll it'll take a while to get it off. The only real negative thing I can say about them is they take forever to post CBB lines and 80% of my action is CBB so it was really annoying. Everything else was pretty smooth, withdrawal time frames were 1-3 business days.

The way I've always looked at it is if a book is too cheap to advertise, then they don't deserve our business.
Not saying the book in question doesn't.

When they offer 250% bonus there is a greater risk of not cashing out. Huge red flag.

Deposited twice there, customer service was good, but never came close to meeting rollover. Have read other posts here saying there are a lot of types of bets not included in rollover. And it doesn't seem easy to find anywhere on their site where this is actually listed as to what they are. I don't really doubt that they will pay, but getting there looks to be difficult.

They told me 27X, which is totally outrageous, but I've heard it can be negotiated.

I finished an 85k RO with $250 limits at Skybook. It sucked very badly.

YB lists the qualifying bets in their T & C's. Props, Team Totals and much more do NOT count toward RO.
The bets are cumulative, so the more you play, the sooner you will meet your roll over and be ready to cash out your winnings! If a bonus is accepted the following wagers count towards the roll over: full game wagers only on football, basketball, baseball, and hockey. Halves on football and basketball count as well. All roll over requirements must be met by wagering on lines between -250 and +250, and does not include casino, live betting, quarters/proposition bets or horse racing action. Parlays and teasers count towards the roll over. Only wagers placed using the Real Money balance will count towards roll over. Wagers placed using free play will not count towards the roll over wager requirements. When there is action graded as a “Loss,” only the amount at risk counts towards the roll over. No bet/no action wagers will not count towards the roll over. Wagers that result in a termination due to postponed events or the wager resulting in a push or No Action do not count towards the roll over. For roll over determinations, the lesser amount between the risk and the win on each eligible wager is the one that is measured. The roll over on the account is void when both the cash and free play balance is less than $5, and there are no pending wagers.

I'll tell you one thing youbetonit does better than any other book. They responded directly to a player complaint on SBR. I've never seen a top book do that. Bovada should try it...

As was explained directly to you in that thread, book reps aren't allowed to signup and post on the forum. He broke the rules. It was not "better than any other book".
And quite frankly his post sounded like a shyster shill to me as well.
Not sure how you read it as positive.
Why even break the rules to post his bloody advertisement in that thread? Wasn't the issue already worked out well before he came in with that advertisment?
The person never emailed SBR as requested either.
Who even knows who made that post??
I would not trust Youbetonit personally.
Can smell trouble, no doubt about it.
Ridic size bonuses.
Ridic size rollovers.
Almost every bet option excluded from rollover.
It's a screaming red flag site.
Mark those words.

Why is it against the rules for a book to come on SBR and explain their payout rules? It sure would be nice if books answered players questions on SBR. It would only make SBR more useful and valuable to the players.

No doubt youbetonit promoted themselves in the response.

Well kind of. A player complained about payout rules. Some others chimed in with what they thought the rules were. Then youbetonit clarified their rules. Did they clarify their rules and market themselves at the same time? Definitely yes.

Actually pretty similar to Skybook (B rated book). Skybook's bonuses are also huge and their RO's are too. Skybook's payout times sound similar as well.

Sounds like props and live bets don't count. I agree that's pretty lame.

They could be con artists. I don't know. Depositing there is a calculated risk. I decided to deposit there after multiple SBR members gave positive reports and also got paid. I'll be sure to let the SBR community know if they pay me and if there are any issues with them.

It’s one thing to desire a book to be good and not scam people.
However Optional is doing the right thing by enforcing rules and being cautious.
If they start slow paying and no paying after the Super Bowl or any time here this year, everybody will be bitching why didn’t somebody from SBR give their opinion.
I decided myself not to deposit here anymore. Others can play at their own risk.
Why is it against the rules for a book to come on SBR and explain their payout rules?
Partly to protect the investment of paying advertisers.
But mostly due to the way reps and paid shills take over and destroy any form of objective discussion of books on forums.
Book reps can answer here, it's encouraged. But it has to come through SBR.
Every other forum allows it. And that is one big reason why SBR has been 10x more successful than the next best sports forum about Offshores.
The rest of it is just a matter of opinions so wont go back n forth. But if you think the Skybook bonus terms are bad, do an apples to apples comparison of their terms v Youbetonit and it may become clearer why I am fearful this place is not fair minded and maybe not legit. I wasn't going to offer any opinion prior to that post you liked. It had opposite effect on me and made me think I need to speak up and say what I have been thinking.

I’m actually glad Optional made me think twice.
Thanks Mike.
I think you know I avoid offering negative opinions of books very often, even when threads are made about really 'hot' looking shops like Dimecrypto.
But can feel this one gaining momentum and real problem coming.

That sounds totally reasonable. I understand how there could be conflict there. I liked that they answered the payout question. But you are right, they certainly took it as an opportunity to advertise themselves.

Just a comparison:
Skybook current bonus: 250% freeplay
youbetonit current bonus: 200% freeplay
skybook RO: 20x
youbetonit RO: 21x
skybook withdrawal hold: 14 days
youbetonit withdrawal hold: 20 days
Disclaimer: I AM NOT TELLING ANYONE TO DEPOSIT AT YOUBETONIT. You can do that at your own risk if you want. I just wanted to show that their bonus program is very similar to Skybook's.

What counts toward rollover is the main difference.
