    Caribsports?

    Question for offshore players....would you continue to do business with a sportsbook that offers a MAX payout of $450 via **/** with $55 fee once every 7 days? I have been doing this a LONG time and things have never been this bad getting paid and with the low limits? They have tried different cards in the past 2-3 years for players to use for deposits/withdrawals only to have them not last much longer than a year at best. The players foot the bill and have to supply everything but a DNA sample to prove their identity and then the cards become useless pieces of plastic. For the veterans of the offshore industry.......do you think things will get better or has this little place that does no advertising and doesn't take "new" USA players seen better days? I asked management about the possibility of bitcoin option and was told that less than 5% of their players were interested in this option. Have the times passed them by? They do pay.....just low amounts with high fees and only person to person.
    Thanks in advance for any comments and/or suggestions because I am looking for a "new" place to play that is current with the times and not stuck in 1999.

    I used to play there and liked their book, a while back, but their lack of funding/withdrawal options never changed with the times.

    I actually contacted them a month ago asking about Bitcoin and they said not available.

    I told them to contact me if that changes.

    Loved Carib. Nicest Customer service people of any Book I've ever had. Great Contests and promos back in the day. When they ended the Carib Classic, it was the beginning of the end. They didn't keep up with the times, and it became too much of a hassle to get money in and especially out for Americans. Not sure who their major market is now.
    Rumor was Jagr played there and stiffed them for 500G's. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archi...=.17d7ddc22421

    Their season-long NFL contest was the best!

    So what do you think happened? Do they have so many "old" players they don't want any new ones b/c the majority of the offshore books now have a bitcoin option to fund/withdraw. Can you imagine playing with a book that has a $450 max payout every 7 days? I've bet as much as 1k on a halftime line so it defeats the purpose to continue to do business with a book that seems to have 1 foot already out the door!!
    Sad....it was one of the best. They still pay.....just not very much!!

    In typical Carib fanfare(meaning none whatsoever), they have become a -105 reduced juice shop for NFL and NCAA sides. I wish they had easy in and out payment methods. I'd go back in a second.

    Anyone know the limits for deposits and payouts from Canada using Instadebit. That method at other books usually has pretty decent limits.

    OK, I'm back in. Their fees on person to person transfers are reasonable, and have higher maxes than some other places. And they say I'll be able to withdraw the same way. The reduced juice on football sides was too enticing for me to pass up. So far, the customer service is as I remember it. super friendly and prompt. Will report on my experiences if anything worth reporting positive or negative.

    Was with Carib for four seasons and my experience was positive until they eliminated e-wallets as deposit/withdrawal options, apparently a growing trend that players in certain European countries are facing. It has something to do with country-specific online gambling legislation and began in 2011, then accelerated in 2016 and has only gotten worse since. The few offshore books that still offer these options are not oriented to the North American sports markets, and it's become a royal pain in the ass to fund or withdraw from most of the accounts I still have. A maximum withdrawal of $450 is ridiculous, and a $55 fee for that is tantamount to extortion, 12.22% for the "privilege" to take out your winnings--completely unacceptable terms. If I were you, I'd cash out and then cordially invite them to take a flying f****** leap.
