sportsbook.com should be rated higher

Hey guys, can you reconsider? I have received about a dozen payouts now, and they have taken anywhere from 10 days to 5 weeks. payouts are smallish (between 500 and 1500) I have won via poker and sports betting. they have been around a long time, and it seems clear they are trying to make this work. how about at least a c minus. this grade has not been touched in 11 years, and it seems they are being held to a few financial issues they had many years ago. I think also, there is a self fulfilling prophecy of sorts. with at least a C grade, they get more business, and likely remain solvent (and perhaps pay some outstanding debts). geez, D minuses are for the really bogus and non credible sportsbooks. they deserve better. can the powers that be reconsider? thanks

A D- is basically a C so don't get why you're complaining.

I agree. As someone who has routinely kept $10k+ on Sportsbook.ag and had some very large wins there I feel pretty comfortable keeping money there. I think they have the best bonuses offshore has to offer and they take some pretty large bets too. Since bitcoin they have not had any trouble paying customers out. The issues they had were 4 years ago when they only offered checks. They are essentially a bitcoin only book nowadays and I definitely think they should get a C rating. I feel way more comfortable with money on Sportsbook than I do BetPhoenix/Mania/Skybook or MyBookie which are rated higher.

It sucks they take 5-7 business days to pay with bitcoin and the 3% fee sucks but that shouldn't affect the rating. Fact is they are paying. Could that change? Of course, but I've never had any issues with them and it's been a while since we have seen any complaints about them. It's all been positive reviews the last few years

Their rating is always going to be held back after insisting on confiscating 150k from hundreds of players claiming correlated parlays as the excuse.

its a bad book

stay away

That happened years before the new ownership took over. Jazette used to own many different skins. Carbon and Sportsbook are not even the same ownership anymore. You used to not be able to play on both sites but as of the last few years, you can. Doesn't seem like punishing a book based off of old ownership is fair. I understand you don't want to raise the rating to a C and then have more SBR players start betting there and get screwed but that's just my opinion.

I'd still consider Sportsbook miles ahead of BetPhoenix/Skybook/Mania and that group of books as well as MyBookie. Phoenix promises bonuses with 10x rollover then as soon as your deposit hits the site they say sorry we can only do 20x rollover for you. Then they limit your bets when you are trapped into a large rollover. But those books are rated B? That doesn't seem right either.

why do you care if they are rated C or D?

They were the first book I ever played at ~20 years ago.

I took them for 30 large last year and they cut my limits from 4,500 to 2,250, then 1,500 and now I'm down to 750. It's a joke. They used to take 4 days for a bitcoin payout and now it's at least 7. And I've had a few that took longer than that and my payout limits are 2,500. Taking me forever to get my money. Once I get it all, I'll give them the action they want from me...about $500 a week...instead of 5k a day. So many better books out there than these clowns. C- is accurate..

Nah, keep them on a D, they deserve it BTC payouts should take 48hrs max... It's quicker to get a bank transfer from Betfair/Pinnacle

Not a bad argument.

I wasn't meaning to sound like I was refusing to raise the rating personally btw. I don't have direct input on them apart from just reporting complaint results.

I'm not one to worry about speed of payment either, if Sportsbook had something I wanted and I could not get it elsewhere I would not be worried about having small money there personally.

LOL Oh dude! you KNOW that I AM worried about the "speed of payment!!"

LOL I don't know how long it takes now, but 10 years ago, they used to take 2 months to send a check!!
And their little "don't send the payout for AT LEAST 6 weeks BUT leave the money available if they simply hit the cancel payout button." cost me about $6 grand.

I made it about 40 days until I finally got drunk enough to cancel the payout and then I lost it all in the casino!!

THEN I was so frustrated that I tried to fuk with my stocks to try and get my $6 grand back, and before it was over, I had lost $20 grand more!


OMG I am about to throw up.

The way they handled payouts in the old days was definitely a big trap for degens :\

I don't think they leave your balance sitting there available whilst waiting now at least.

We both know (well only if you believe me!) that I am a "degen" when it comes to gambling!!


Degenerate: having lost the physical, mental, or moral qualities considered normal and desirable;

NOPE! It's not that def, it is the #2 def:

lacking some property, order, or distinctness of structure previously or usually present.



LOL THAT'S ME!!!



Man, I CAN'T leave my money nowhere and wait on no payout!! LOL It is "E-suicide" for me!!!!

@Optional The "proof" of my degeneracy is from last week on here!!!


I "wildly gambled" my way to 1333 points on here and had the $50 bt-coin in sight!!



AND Y'ALL DO TAKE IT RIGHT OUT OF THE ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY! SO ALL I HAD TO DO WAS GO TO THE STORE!!



Instead............................. Ah hell, you know the rest. I went BACK to the casino.



Didn't stop until I had 0.
