You can get the details in my previous thread, but just a quick update that it's been more than 50 days now since Sportsbetting.com bounced two checks (totaling approx $2400) to me.

They literally have provided zero updates. The call center "pros" keep giving the same empty assurances and "we understand your frustration" pleasantries, but there has been exactly zero word from the actual withdrawal department about when they are going to re-issue a check.

I've seen some people stand up for Sportsbetting.com as a resurgent service (that had some bad history, but is back on track). That couldn't be further from the truth. Worst customer service experience I've had on any level, with any company in any industry, ever. Keep a safe distance.

Couldn't agree more. My payout check bounced about 3 months ago(!!!) and I haven't heard anything besides their standard lines of "rest assured that your claim has been escalated to the proper department" and various other ridiculous responses.

Do NOT play with this sportsbook. Even if some people have gotten their money (and I'm not convinced that all of these people reporting that they were paid are legit posters), know that there are plenty of others who have not!!!

I think you guys will be made whole soon but your feedback is consistent with others. They are making guys sweat and don't have the man power to look into these cases and give the player updates.

But they DO have enough time to man the phones, accept funds from new players, and send out a shitload of marketing spam about contests and whatnot. So even while they know that they can't fulfill their promises, they continue to sell the illusion of the service.

Yes, a very good point. Mgt. needs to get on their processor and talk to each person who is waiting.

Sportsbetting.com Withdrawal Complaints! 04-30-08

Sportsbetting.com has got to be one of the Worst Sportsbooks out there. I have been having the hardest time to have a simple $1000 withdrawal processed. I mean I just dont understand how it would take so long to process a withdrawal. There customer service people are all just bulshitting you when they say that "it will be processed soon". Nothing has been processed now for over three weeks, no email confirmations no nothing. Beware and do not deposit ANY MONEY with this Company. Stay Away FROM SPORTSBETTING.COM. NO SPORTSBOOK SHOULD EVER TREAT CUSTOMERS THE WAY THEY DO. BEWARE OF SPORTSBETTING.COM!

Stay Away From Sportsbetting.com!

This Company Is A Scam! I Have Not Rec'd My WITHDRAWAL Now For Over 3 Weeks. Please Dont Make The Same Mistake I Did. Stay Away From Sportsbetting.com. iT TAKES 30 MINUTES FOR THEM TO ANSWER PHONES their phones. Ang you guys are right they have alot of time to send emails and do there marketing but cant process a simple withdrawal, just ridicolous!

"Someone" should use a buffer overflow to get into these guys wagering system (which is very exposed) to take down their whole platform for how people place their bets. There are millions of hackers in the open source community that would relish the challenge, and execute something like that for a very small fee. Let's see, they bounced a check to me for $2400, and yours was for $1000. Would it be worth another $500 to turn the fire hose on them and completely take them down for a few days? The more time that passes, the clearer it becomes that these **** heads have no intention of making this right, and the more attractive that will sound.

That sounds like great idea!

That should serve them right.....

Stay away from the bank wire option they are offering. They will claim that you will be wired your money in 3-5 business days or less. After 5 days and countless attempts at complaining to their customer service in India, you will receive an e-mail reading that they are sending you a check instead.The people at www. sportsbetting.com are liars and thiefs!

I agree with your statement about legit posters. I've been reading through a lot of the postings. There's always someone defending www.sportsbetting.com like the company is his first-born. These posters keep giving the guarantee that everyone will get paid. Unless these individuals are in charge of the company, than they can't make that guarantee. I'm starting to strongly think that www.sportsbetting.com is paying individuals to submit posts that constantly defend their scams. I've also noticed that these posters have the spelling and grammar skills of a toddler.

Please be careful folks. There are some shady characters defending www.sportsbetting.com
