    sportsbook.ag not taking new customers?

    I have to ask why would a book not take new customers unless they want out of the US market? Heritage did that for a while...

    I have an existing account and was going to load up a little something there. Seems like a lot of people have been paid out, and the days of ripoffs are long gone. Would love to hear any experience people have with them. Thanks in advance

    They supposedly pay but their bitcoin payouts are brutally slow. Im waiting on my first at 7 business days now and still have the ability to cancel the payout. Their bonuses are so good though its worth the wait (assuming they pay, lol)

    They always offer 30% cash reload and sometimes 50%. When you go to there home page it's right there telling you what reload they have with the code.

    I use these guys. Their payouts are a little slow for bitcoin, 4-5 business days usually for me, but I always get paid. They also have a 3% withdrawal fee, but their bonuses are pretty good and make it worth playing here. I've used sportsbook and their skins for years without issue. The fact that they haven't taken new sign ups for a few months now is a pretty good indicator that they're doing pretty well with the customer base they have, so I feel pretty safe playing here. Generally, when smaller books are in trouble they tend to try to sign up as many new customers as possible by offering too good to be true bonuses.

    There was a recent post about someone getting their account closed after placing a couple of wagers, but the poster never came back and gave us an update.

    Yes, sister sites. Players Only and Carbon Gaming are the two I know, I believe there are few more but not sure what the names are.

    Sportsbook is not related to PO/Carbon, though. You used to not be able to play on both Carbon and Sportsbook but now they are not related outside same software etc.

    I asked them. They said they're not taking new customers right now without explanation. Payouts seem to have gotten slower. Used to be request it on Monday and get it on Thursday, now it's Monday to Monday. But they always pay. Their m/o is that they hope you lose in that time frame and cancel your payout. The 'cancel payout' button is quite prevalent and I'm sure it just takes one misclick and you have to start over. I still like the site though. Good limits, ease of use, you can take your money before completing the rollover, lots of betting options, etc. It's much better than the D- rating they get on here. More like a C+. If they paid faster, they'd be a B+. But they're doing what works for them so you can't blame them..

    Yeah, I've used them for 10+ years without issues. Wish they'd get rid of the fee for BTC payouts. Otherwise I'm satisfied

    I don't even care about the fee (although I agree it's not competitive with other books) but I'd pay 5% if they gave me my money in an hour.
