    My Bookie

    I think giving MyBookie a C+ is a harsh rating. I heard about this site on a podcast I listen to regularly. I deposited $600 over a week period. I did good on the UFC and NBA conference semi game 7s. I cashed out $1600 on Monday. They wired me the money by Friday with no problem. Granted, this is my first experience with them and yes there are other sites with better odds, this is by no means a C+ book. Youwager has an A rating and is a horrible book imo. I’m not on their payroll, but with all of the negative reviews, I figured that I would give a fair review to them. I did not take a bonus either when I deposited, which may explain why it went smoothly. Anyhow, thumbs up to them.

    I've seen a lot of complaints about them slow paying people - although they do seem to pay most of the time - I don't see them as deserving a B- or better rating.

    Because if you win consistently enough eventually you will get stiffed.

    Any book Jake Slater is associated with will eventually stiff players, as this book has with many on here already.

    Also like pulling teeth to get a payout and it only gets worse. Five days to get a payout in today’s world is asinine. At least you got paid if this is a legit post.

    Proceed with caution.

    Well, we will see how legit they are. I won again last night on Warriors full game ml and 2nd half. I just put in a payout request for another $1000. If this one is in by Friday, they definitely are better than some of the “A” list books. Youwager calls you nonstop to deposit. I cussed one of their reps out and he called me back and threatened me.

    I’ve seen the complaints. All I’m doing is sharing my personal experience. If they rip me off, I will definitely post about it...

    I have had good luck with mybookie as well cashing out three times for a little over 1,000 each time. Took about a week for each one. I am sure many have seen the turmoil they had with Barstool and almost every single person that complained had no idea what a rollover was and that is why they were saying that Mybookie doesnt pay.

    They called everyday for at least two months. I told them never to call again for the fiftieth and berated them for at least the tenth time because I was so tired of it. His name was Frank, and he said they were always going to call me even after I spoken to management about stopping the calls. I told him to f*** off and hung up
    He called back and said don’t be a be a p***y and hang up. I cussed him more. He then said that he knew where I lived and to be careful of what I said. I told him that’s good because if he or anyone from that sht book ever showed up to my house that my 30/30 would do the talking for me. I then got on the phone and called the manager and told them the same thing. The phone calls stopped, and then they called last year. I refreshed them of my last talk, and they said Frank had been fired. I told them I still held the same position, and I haven’t heard from them since. Again, I’m also on Wagerweb. I haven’t deposited their in a few months, and they have called one time, not every freaking day.

    Agree 100%.

    They stole from me and many others.

    They literally try to steal from anyone who doesn't know about SBR.

    I just opened an account in April 2019 and have won a lot. Up over $21000 and have received two bitcoin payouts for $5000 each within a matter of 4-5 business days each.

    No complaints here. If I win great, if I lose that’s fine too but Mybookie is my favorite sportsbook I’ve played with. Lots of bad reviews everywhere about every sportsbook. The people who seem to have problems are people that don’t supply the documentation requested. I think the book is legit. Until they screw me over I have no complaints here!

    Don’t worry, they will screw you over eventually. Just a matter of time. You’ll have plenty of time to complain then.

    they have one of the worst live betting software's that I've ever used on any sportsbook, I remember I made one live bet on basketball and for whatever reason the bet was double posted so I had two big bets now when I only wanted one and luckily I won but the point is I can't trust their book or their software and I think they're shady. There's much better sportsbooks to choose from

    I've been with MyBookie for about 6 months. I got the run-around on my first 2 payout requests, but eventually got paid. The 3rd one was a mess. They basically came out of nowhere with this 50/50 rule stating that at least half of my action has to come from "full game" bets instead of derivative markets (props, live betting, etc.). My balance was $5K and they wanted me to wager $26K in order to withdraw. That's when I put in a complaint to SBR.

    Lou was very helpful and got me in touch with one of the head oddsmakers. We came to an agreement that my current withdrawal would be processed and I would have to wager $5K in full game bets to get rid of the 50/50 rule for good. This is in addition to my prop limits being cut to $50. It sounds bad, but I can easily find enough arbs in soccer to hit the $5K in a month or two.

    I won't go as far as saying MyBookie is shady, but newer bettors should probably avoid them. They basically copy 5Dimes for most markets and add a little extra juice. On the flip side, their props and futures are the softest I've come across in this business. The problem is that you can't beat them on props only or you won't be able to cash out.

    Everything you described above is pretty shady. Their slow/no pay practices are ludicrous/criminal.

    I've yet to withdraw but I will say it takes them forever and a day to grade Soccer bets compared to other outs I've played at. This I can confirm. When I win a bet, I want my money to get in on other matches going off soon. Don't have time to wait 30 minutes to over 3 hours.

    They also only have 3 withdrawal methods from what I can tell. wire, Bitcoin and one other. Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong. Most solid books offer 6 or more options.
