    Sportsbook.com Test (Are they Up or Down)
    Well I went against my own word and tried a book other than Greek or Matchbook. Every post I've stated that one would be stupid to try anything other than the best. To me, Greek is the NY Yankees of the offshore business- best run and most reliable by far.

    That said, I blew my greek account this past weekend and couldnt get to **/**. Decided to post with sportsbook.com because of their high acceptance rate with cc's. Sent a small amount and went on a tear....at least what I consider a tear. Turned $200 into a little over $4000 over the weekend and Monday night (a bunch of straight wagers) and a few ML Dogs.

    I requested my payout of $3,000 via bankwire last night. I know the tricks that books tend to play so before I requested my payout I sent all the documents and asked customer service to email me confirmation that my documents were verified and I could request a payout. Their response:

    "Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your documents. These have been reviewed and meet the requirements for us to forward them to the proper department.

    If you wish to avail of the bank wire method, we kindly request you provide us with your banking information, at your earliest convenience. This information must be submitted into the cashier section of our site. Simply log-in to your account, click on 'Cashier', then choose the 'Withdrawals' tab and click on the 'Wire Transfer' option."
    The following details will be required:
    • Bank Account Type
    • Bank Account Number
    • ABA Routing/Transit Number
    • Swift/BIC
    • IBAN: For customers in Europe, the International Bank Account Numbers (IBANs) and Bank Identifier Codes (BICs) are the only accepted means of identifying beneficiary customer accounts. Please ask your bank for the correct IBAN and BIC code in order to prevent delays in processing your bank wire.
    • Bank's Name
    --------------------------------------------------------------

    I will keep you posted on the progress. I have read that they have figured out their processing issues over the past few years and are paying out very fast. I have zero expectations but will keep an open mind. If they are back and paying out I will consider in the future.........if it's the regular run around to collect- I am back to greek. Time will tell.................

            Thanks for prompt response- i appreciate it. How long does it take before they send email to confirm that it was processed. So far, just an email acknowledging the request,

            Thanks

              They are a pain in the ass with their ID process, and that can take a few weeks, at least in my case. But once that is out of the way, they were about 10 days with a check (courier, no charge) and about three days with a bank wire (I think a $50 charge).

                  This is standard procedure for most books first time around, to protect yourself. Once you send in that documentation, you will get your $$ soon enough. Sportsbook.com is one of the most reputable, long standing books out there.

                      its total b.s the D rating has to do with bonus abuse and corilated parlays. if you follow the rules and don't past post abuse bonus' they are fine. if you do they will take your money. Just be smart and don't allow balances to get up to 10K...you will be fine I'll bet on it. I got a check in 4 days fed ex even got the tracking number emailed to me.

                        We'll see how it goes. All I have received is the response below. If all of my documents have been validated I would think they should wire the funds soon. I just have not received any confirmation. To be fair, I just submitted the request yesterday. So far- So good.......I guess I'm just spoiled because the greek sends me an email confirming my wire transfer within 2-3 hours and the funds arrive 2-3 days.

                        No complaints so far.

                        Dear xxxxx,

                        We are pleased to inform you that your withdrawal verification is now complete. Please remember, if your withdrawal had previously been cancelled as you had not yet provided these documents; you will need to re-request your withdrawal through our cashier.
                        We appreciate your cooperation and we apologize if this verification process has put you at any inconvenience.

                        If you have sent in a copy of a voided check or hard copy statement for bank wire withdraw purposes, you will be notified separately (via email) once this method has been approved.

                        Kind regards,
                        The Withdrawals Team

                          You are home free Jets.

                          That is the "good notice". You should get paid soon.

                          They had me so dizzy I had to go to a photographer to get a front/back of my credit card, it was a black background card with red lettering. But all in all, I like the book and would recommend them.

                              all books need to verify......if they dont, then somethings wrong...they are strict because the US is cutting off all their banks that tie here in america...i get paid from them alot and i dont have issues, my biggest check i got was 2k from them and i got wired a total of 3 times around 1500 to 2k each. let us know if u get the money or not, theyve improved on their payments and customer service now.... if u still dont like it, try out 5dimes.com

                                Happy to report that sportsbook.com completed wire transfer with funds available in my account today. I requested the funds on Monday and they are available in my bank account today 3,000 payout. KUDOS sportsbook.com this was my 1st withdrawal and still took less than a week.

                                  I just left sportsbook.com. I was too nervous of getting paid in the long run. I made the switch to betjamaica. I am happy for the most part. The only thing is that the lines are pretty high for betjam.

                                  Oh well... I can finally put my mind at ease regarding my payouts.

                                                      You are clearly the biggest jerk on this site. Why would you want people to have money stolen? Just so you can say told you so? I wish you luck and hopfully you will see how little good your posts do to help people. I hope you get help.

                                                      I have had large amounts of money come from ***/check and wires this month. all very quickly
