    GTBETS.com

    My cash is "being processed" by BetOnline and now looking for a new shop. Any information on GTBETS would be appreciated.

    A newer sportsbook. Many safer books. Be careful this time of year.

    Wire payments in 4-5 days. Good promos. Good CS. Quick to cut limits on winning players. Very good shop overall.

    Seeing how you would know that they're new, and possibly have some sort of info on their financial backing, and ideas on how risky they're deals and promos might be, please explain what made SBR choose to raise them to the B level then? That's not a ringing endorsement for a book you just recently upgraded. USA bettors are limited pretty big these days. Does that make a lot of B rated sbr books nothing more than "okay only because of the the circumstances, but risky otherwise"?

    tough choice. two top selections if you choose not to go with one of the A+'s. Both pay quick. GTbets probably better bonuses and CS.

    Not happy with a holiday gift being a reload bonus. It's nice to offer but I get that kinda offer from a number of books and they don't present it to me as a "GIFT".

    update: SBR_John expressed reservations despite a 'B' rating
    that translates to keep your money far away

    it's all good until the music stops and you don't have a chair.

    Just check the way their rating was upgraded to get a pattern on the shop:

    Added on August, 2011 with a C level.

    First all kind of flags because it is related with VIP Sports, who took players money, but they claim they will take care of them, probably they did who knows. Then, after that suddenly :

    * They add Mobile betting on May 14 2012, this is sooo good that PUM, they are upgraded from C to C+!! on the same day.
    * After a complain which they address right away, SBR was sooo impressed that PUUUUM again on October 15, 2012, upgraded again to B-.

    So based on SBR they are spectacular or they are good sponsors.

    So GTBets maybe good, but I will not trust a SBR rating on them at all, let players talk about them.

    I'm pretty sure VIP paid everyone before they went out. As far as gtbets is concerned i think they are really good- great bonuses and fast payouts!

    yes try3, i was with VIP happily over a decade without a single problem...devastated when they left

    Gtbets wants u to think its all the same, but FAR from it....but they pay too its just not VIP by any means

    their will be no fairly tale endings. I made a post on a site i knew their would be "no bailout" and a man at 1 v i c e said they have bailed out many players without making them hump though hoops , so i am guessing that transalates to giving kickass match bonuses for those with a verifiable balance at BI when they closed shop and shafted players.

    1v is a joke. they ban almost everyone. how are they going to bail out people with a healthy balance? they probably bailed out the players with balances like $500 or less. also, their history is pretty shady too so even if they willing to bail out my 7k, there's no way i'll deposit anything with them
