    Why is Hollywood Sportsbook a D+? Is that deserved?

    I was thinking of opening up an account there, but havent.
    Are they owned under the sportsbook.ag family? I have heard both positive and negatives about sportsbook.ag

    Yes Hollywood is under Sportsbook.com/ag operation. They do have some good dedicated mgrs but they werent able to address any of the disputes that took place under sportsbook.com mgt before they as dedicated mgt came on board.

    been there for few years now and more than satisfied. lots of perks, always got paid. while a little slower with checks than the A books but waiting a couple extra weeks(4-6 for checks) is not a problem for me. sometimes they come in days not weeks. should be rated more like 'B'. after 5dimes and heritage my next best is hollywood. deposit you will like the place.

    Hey man, have you ever tried the other payout option they offer? If so, how long does this payout take? Same as paper to the door step?

    one of the top US facing books, they deserve better than a D+ rating. i'd say about B or B+ is more appropriate

    sbr holding a grudge about something which new mgmt is completely not responsible for that happened years ago.

    If books got a pass every time they got a new management team the blacklist would be hiring managers.

    a lot of guys are cool with the trade off of nice bonus offers/perks for 3-8 week check, it's really a problem though when a guy gets a 50K balance and wants it ASAP, they only process on withdrawl at a time, it'll take someone over 12 months to collect.

    like to have that problem - win 50000 and have to wait for collection of all funds - but i also get that if you want your money fast and willing to pay to get it - you would be better off at bookmaker or 5dimes. i know dc withdrawals seem free but there are costs with all of them and using a dc will still take you a while to take out 50000. so checks and wires are free(once a month) at hollywood. in the states no checks or wires are free from charges on one end or the other from bookmaker or 5dimes. i read even heritage checks come from canada so your bank will probably charge a fee. only at hollywood would i get that 50000 completely free - it would just take a while.

    Hollywood mugged players on correlated parlays and never made it right. If a book can decide that "we won't pay this kind of winning bet", it's only a matter of time until they make up another class of bet not to pay.

    Stay away until they address those old complaints.
