Sportsbook.com family

I suggest you not to do that. IF they cut your limits, that means they don't like you to play at their sites. BTW, what's the reason they cut your limits?

Ferris · 04-15-10, 09:42 AM

Their props are very easy to beat. They have cut me from the $300/$500 limit to $1. I have taken 5 figures from them.

It's not a good idea to do this with the Sportsbook.com (SBR rating D-) family of books.

I've done this and been paid every time. You will be limited much faster than the first time around.

menang8 · 04-15-10, 10:22 AM

Don't play with them!

Same. Though I understand I'm running a risk as I'm sure you do as well. The idea that they steal very often is absurd. Its extremely rare for them to steal monies. Though its a pretty loltastic egregious offense.

Charge them back on every deposit you have ever made. Their processor will then get dropped for all the charge backs and you will hit them hard in the testes! They and Logans which are the same outfit are the only two books I have ever had bad experiences with. They owed me $2K for the Celtics winning the championship two years ago and when the didn't send it and told me to check my bank account, they then received a nice $7500 charge back that helped succumb their processor at the time Plestis. R.I.P Sportsbook.com and Logans! I recommend BetPhoenix who has the potential to be the next pinnacle of our time.

My experience in moving to a new book in the group is similiar to Duritos.

I'll bite on the other one though, how did they "scam every poker player out there" when they left cake?

anyone playing at any sportsbook.com places is a joke

70kgman · 04-16-10, 11:45 PM

I use sports.com which I have never had any problem with getting paid and have liked for the most part. Although I am kind of pissed about them recently switching poker room's and losing all the gold card's I had accumulated over the past few years. I had a couple of pretty good ones too.

Extra Innings · 04-17-10, 12:57 AM

I got Peep and Durito saying they're good. How is it Jazette accepts everyone of my credit cards yet BetJam and Bookmaker don't?

By the way I have played and been paid high four figures from jazette.

RickySteve · 04-17-10, 05:28 PM

I used several skins and they stole $150K from me for doing so.

jackkkk2009 · 04-17-10, 07:31 PM

people who use sites within that family group have to be very careful. just remmeber you don't abuse any of their benefits. then you should be fine.

skrtelfan · 04-18-10, 04:24 AM

They've historically encouraged people to use multiple books in their family. When I originally signed up with sportsbook.com, I started getting stuff at my snail mail address, which I'd only given to sportsbook.com, from a bunch of related books like sports.com, playersonly.com, etc, which were encouraging me to set up multiple accounts. Playersonly.com would encourage me to sign up to play poker so I could "play with all of the fish from sportsbook.com"--there are tons of poker players who think anyone who bets sports must be a losing gambler. There were plenty of instances documented here where players asked "can I have multiple accounts at sportsbooks in this family?" and they were told yes, and then their winnings were confiscated for "multiple account abuse."

sad...I had multiple accounts with them and stopped playing for All I need from sportsbook.com is "all winnings have been confiscated because you took a bonus with 200xs rollover from our sisterbook "superbook.com" in 2005.

When my 2nd book from this group got closed I got an email from a manager listing all the books in their family and saying "DO NOT SIGN UP AT ANY OF THESE BOOKS"

laconic · 04-18-10, 06:43 PM

Is there no distinction (for second account purposes) between the Jazette owned books and the white label businesses that rent Jazette's software and lines, like Broburysports.

Wow, that is really cool.

I have never been able to get a list off of them of what books I could/could not play at.

Could you post it please? Would love to see their "official" liist.

Extra Innings · 04-18-10, 10:10 PM

I still don't know how they get those cards through. Doesn't matter what card I use...it almost always goes through...little success with any other book outside phoenix

coloradobuff · 04-20-10, 08:58 AM

I recommend using sportsbook.com for a shop for sure. You will be hard pressed to find another place that gives you more betting opportunities.

lol... bp is full of shit now. havnt you read the bad stories left and right from these guys.... if anything i would stay clear of bet phoenix.

on the other hand. sportsbook.com has been a genuine book for me. i use them for all my wagers. 2nd would be 5 dimes. both books have excellent customer service and payouts are lightning fast.

Money Stolen From Players:

BetPhoenix Group: $0

Sportsbook.com Group: $millions

RED · 04-20-10, 04:03 PM

A few years back when Sportsbook.com was taken over by the employees after the Peter Dicks thing, they stiffed me for like over $890 on a football play that I won. The most they ever did was give me a few $20 free plays which is bullshit. I would never trust them or any of there family of books again.

If you have an account at any other site that has a poker room on the Cake Network, you can contact them with your SB.com account name and they will transfer all your Gold Cards, Gold Chips and Gold Stacks. It can be an existing account or you can create a new one.

I am not certain of all the sportsbooks linked to the Cake Network, but I know at least TheGreek, Pokerworld, SportsInteraction, BetUS are.

Playing with a bunch of fires, here, IMO, from more than one angle.

dark star · 04-20-10, 08:07 PM

Is Linesmaker a part of this family?I have heard decent good things about that book & might deposit there for football....let me know

I have my limits cut at Sportsbook.com (props - all sports). If I pull all my money out and then go over to one of the other books in the family (I think there are over 30+ books that all use same lines), will my limits be cut still? Will they notice? Am I risking losing my deposit + any money I win? Anyone else done this?

There are Much Better Books out there IMO.
