    SOS/Caribsports.bz

    Any of you ever played at or still use caribsports? My Sports off shore[SOS] account was adopted by caribsports years ago when payouts were easy to get with multiple options. Within the past 18 months the only option is p2p with a $450 max per week that carries a $55 fee. When I asked management about bitcoin they claimed not enough players wanted it. Needless to say I found Bovada via SBR site and I've been pleasantly surprised with the in-game options as well as the customer service. A+ book for sure.
    The bigger question is how does caribsports continue to operate with the low limit payout options? It's like there stuck in the 90's with no interest in becoming relevant again. I played with SOS for 18+ years and never had issues. I am interested if any of you had ever played with or heard about this sportsbook.

    I think you are right.

    They probably have a comfortable easy to manage group of customers and make enough profit to keep them happy in semi-retirement.

    I think this is a true statement. I played there this Football season after about 5 years away. Their -105 in Football(and basketball) drew me back. Some observations
    Their Customer service people are still the nicest in the Industry.
    They are very sharp. They took many positions on games, sometimes fairly extreme, and they were right a lot more than they were wrong. That's an observation on how they booked the NFL.
    It's a shame they don't modernize, because they could be players again with their reduced juice. But like you said, I suspect they do very well with their model of kinda being a friendly mom and pop shop that is nice to their customers, and don't want to do what they would need to do to become bigger industry players.

    Very tough/expensive to get money into Carib.Used to love the place and SOS too.Thats a real blast from the past.

    They had opinionated lines but I just could not win there. The good old days that's for sure

    Their contests page was last updated in 2012. Agree, looks like they went into retirement which is quite intriguing.

    Evidently they now do have some sort of bitcoin deposit option, and are working on bitcoin withdrawal. Maybe by next Football season, they will have both?

    I just logged into my acct with carib and didn' see the "all star weekend" banner......matter of fact they still have the NFL is back banner on the homepage that's been there for awhie. Only option to fund is p2p and only withdrawal option is p2p. They do allow players to transfer to another person that has a carib acct which is convenient......if only they would adapt to the new market? Or throw away the flip phones!!!!!!!!
