    What makes you think I ever said bodog was not a sh*t book or a sponsor here at SBR???

    Books bounce checks all the time, hell 5dimes bounced a few checks recently and they are an A book and an SBR sponsor. This point has nothing to do with SBG's thefts a book bouncing checks is a processor issue which arises courtesy of your US government, a book stealing players funds is unexcusable the 2 do not even compare in the least bit.

    Again big difference in a small check bouncing but the player eventually getting paid and a book stealing
    $30,000 from 1 player and close to $100,000 from multiple other players all in a short period of time.

    I would have no problems keeping $10,000 at bodog.

    I would not keep $100 at SBG.

    sharpie... i see your point.
    i had a couple of very bad experiences with bodog which i will not mention.. its in the past and i can play where i chose like the rest of you. i agree if all those things are true about sbg then it is horrible.

    Here is my honest opinion about SBG.

    If you are a small player and you don't keep any real balance in SBG, in other words you make deposit, place your bets, withdraw all your winnings and most of your deposit every week, you are probably okay.

    BUT, if you hit a big win or consistently win and build up a big account balance they are going to rob you and laugh about it.

    I am waiting for a withdrawel now of 470$.When i wanted to withdrawel the first time it was 280.
    First they ask me for my id.I send it but they did not got become it they said,so i mailed it again.
    Then i could not pay out because of the bonus was not played for 100%.So i did that also.At that moment my balance was 320.
    But again my withdrawel was rejected.Now because of that my account was inactive for a while and i had to play at least the half of my 320 on betting.Now i made a printscreen of that conversation.Now i bet for 160 and my balance is now 470 and i asked today for a withdrawel.Lets see what happen now.I will write here how this story will end at sbg
    Marcel

    ps. a view years ago i went 2nd in a 100k gtd at bodog(poker) with a prize of 14.300$
    I withdrawed my money without a problem

    update

    It was rejected again.
    Now the reason was due inactive account i had to rollover the original 280 once.
    So i went in the chat again and told them that in the last chat they told me to rollover the 320 what was in the account that moment for 50%(160$).
    After waiting long they told me to withdraw the money again and i was promised that it will be processed this time.

    I think the past problems is what still attracts the negative vibes.

    I opened account with them back in March 2010 , I have requested 5 payouts via wire and received funds every time within 3 days, so no complaints here. Last payout I received was last week.

    Coz they give bonuses to you, and your next thread will prolly be about a book that stiffed you for a change.
    You should just spare the forum from your rubbish son.

    Been using SBG Global for a long time (9 years?) but a casual player. Decided to give it another go. ** 1k deposit included a refund of the ** charge (84). Bet the lot on straight and won. Monday requested 1.5K payout via wire (cost 100). Tues SBG Payout confirmation. Friday bank shows incoming wire. No hassle.

    Anyway I was a bit concerned about D- ratings and payout stuff. I thought if I had a good experience I'd report. SBG did well for me. The roadside robbers I ran into were ** and Bank.

    they are a bit shady but i wouldn't say any more so than any of the other costa rican books. overall i have had a relatively pleasant experience with them. most recent cashout was received next day free of charge.

    BIG... that is a very good question... there are some things I cannot discuss for many reasons but in this instance I am neutral feeling or possibly a little positive. Take it for what it is worth pal... moves are done for many reasons and can be good or bad... cannot really say more about this one just yet...

    BB... actually John is more than likely referring to a personal experience from quite a few years back... maybe he will enlighten you. It is not for me to comment...

    SBG is a book i highly recommend if you enjoy getting stiffed. If you're a guy who doesn't like to get paid when you win, then SBG is the place for you. If you're a big winner, then they won't pay you. however, if you are a loser, then they are a great book, cause they are great at collecting deposits and horrible at paying. i sent them 4 deposits and kept on losing, and they kept taking my re ups.. and then when i finally had a good week, the told to go fukk myself and they are not going to pay me. So when i was losing, they kept taking my money, and then when i finally won, they stiff me...No book i know are better at collecting deposits than SBG.They really are amazing at taking people's money, but suck at paying.

    I should know because they stiffed me for 18,300$..

    2004 or 2005.. don't remember.

    they were thieves back then and are still thieves. people don't change. As long as you don't ever win there, you'll be ok. if you are a small bettor, you should be ok. but if your acct goes high, they will stiff you.

    Save yourself a headache. Play at an "A" rated book... or at least not a D- book.
    like bet islands?

    i cashed 6k and 8k out of sbg global before no problems ever. iM SURE YOU GUYS ARE SAME GUYS THAT HYPED BET ISLANDS
