      Unless they're all at Jazette brands, I think you're fine.

            I have accounts at just about every book but only 4 are funded. I'm not sure what concerns you have?

              Yupper, I have had accounts at about 50 different books. About 7 of them have been combined into Bookmaker - they have bought out several books that I had accounts at. A lot of books that I used to use have gone out of business. Many have left the American market. Many I have cashed out of and now they will not offer me any more bonuses, so I deposit elsewhere. And yet I still have eight books funded right now, and will probably add one or two more this month. The only thing you need to worry about is some lower-rated books that as sister sites. There are a couple family of books out there ( Jazette comes to mind ) that will punish you for betting at more than one of their sites. But as a rule, books will allow you to open accounts at all their sites ( i.e. BetPhoenix ) and are happy for the action. And, of course, when books are not related, they have no idea what you are doing elsewhere and I doubt that they care.

                    Why would you get in trouble? lol Just don't make more then one account on each site (for ovbiouse reasons) and all should be good.

                      No problem at all....As TranX noted, unless you are doubling up at the same place, you can have a hundred accounts open at various books and nobody will give a rat's ass.....

                        Us IRS spins a wheel...whatever number comes up matches your amount of sportsbook accounts then they audit you

                            I think your asking if there are ramifications in dealing with the sportsbooks themselves. Several books are owned by the same company. This can cause some cashout issues. It is real easy to figure out this info as it is listed on the site itself. You can ask the book if they are within the same group as another of your funded accounts.

                                  It's always good to have more sportsbook accounts - so that you can always try to get the best odds. There's no downside as long as you stick to reputable books. I have probably 10 and I do keep my balance low at all of them, but I do withdraw winnings every time they go over "my" comfort-zone limit (which is different at each book).

                                    Sometimes you can find the necessary informations in the TCs, something like only one account in the company group. But mostly the information is one account at the bookie, so you have to ask the support to be sure about this.

                                        Luckily you stopped at 10. Once you open that 11th account, the sportsbook police take you to a bookie concentration camp where you have to bet daily at 20-cent juice.

                                            Up top, click on Sportsbook Review. Then click on Sportsbook Ratings. From there you can sort by group/family and see all the Jazette brands (aka Sportsbook.com)
