Who ?

Is this Betplatinum.com, Platinumsb.com, or another one altogether ?

Edit: I see it's PlatinumSB.

I guess they got the upgrade for booting anyone and everyone in the past 2 weeks that had half a clue.

halifax, heres what i dug up on this book:

2/18/2005 11:37:00 AM
SBR Bill Dozer reports: SBR upgrades PlatinumSportsbets from D- to D after most recent conversation with ownership. PSB states that they have rid themselves of stiff ex-bookmakers, Paul and Robbie M of the Apex scam, and have yet to be the subject of a complaint. SBR has expressed concern about PlatinumSportsbets’ business model and their ability to succeed offering discount lines priced at -105 along with deposit bonuses. PSB is new to the post-up business, yet is aggressively marketing to sharp players via betting forums and plans to join the DonBest premium line service. PSB has experience in the credit business and utilized service provider, Datawager.

SBR speaks with PlatinumSportsBets(SBR rating C-). Owner, Ali Eltaib, tells SBR about the early lessons learned as a credit-player’s sportsbook trying to establish a presence in the post-up business. Ali recalls initially sustaining losses due to poor marketing decisions and over-generous deposit bonuses. Although this bookmaker is attempting to succeed offering reduced juice, Platinum is taking steps toward a more sustainable business model. Online wagering limits and bonus maximums have been reduced and professional action has been limited. PSB, having just completed its sophomore football season, has been upgraded to C- and will be further evaluated after latest website upgrades are complete. The book is still attempting to find its niche and players should use caution while PSB is tested further.

This is another book that I like. Plus they have been around a while and folks here in CR know these guys.

I also like the fact they were open with SBR. I know that is a little thing but over the years it has proven to be a good indicator.

Hold On To Your Funds!!!!!!!

Being slow paid from betplatinum at moment. Live chat seems to give reasonable answers to why this is the case, but can not answer the one question i want (You have been paid?).

I will post a reply when paid.

Apart from that, I quite enjoy their site. Easy to use and customer service is very good.

Are you referring to http://betplatinum.com/? This is a different book. If you can send your acct ID to assistance@sportsbookreview.com I will contact Mgt.

I liked them when I played with them. Pretty sharp numbers on NBA since reduced juice, off screen, and would take a big bet. But they dropped my limits online eventually since I was chasing steam on some other things. Overall, thought they were pretty good book, not happy to hear they were chasing lots of players out, but sadly seems the way of the offshore world lately.

Thanks for the photos.

Looks alot more professional than the last book that was posted.
The ratings a fairly close too.

I think I'll stick with Pinny BJM and Dimes though.
