    Sportsbook.com **********
    I would like people that have done chargebacks with them or any other book post their experience. I know i'm gonna catch flack for this but I'm about to hit them with one. I had a belmont account which is part of their family of books. I put in about 4k, played it up to about 9k. Did a withdraw about april/may ish. Withdraws never came after 60 days. Processor delays blah blah. Well documented on this site the issues. Even after email and harassing them, nothing. I ended up having them put the money back into my account after two months. Ended playing some casino (5 blackjacks in a row by the dealer?) and losing most of it betting on games.

    Did I have no discipline and lost the money? Yes, my fault for being a degenerate but it wasnt right that they delayed my check so much (two MONTHS?!!!) that they put me in a position that caused me to lose it. I know some of you will start bitching at me like its my fault for no self control blah blah, save it. Nobody should take over 2 months to pay.

    I'm gonna hit them with the ********** just wanting to get feedback from others who have done this with them or have "friends" that did it and what their experience was. I've read stuff about collections and all that and i'm pretty sure they can't do that since its an illegal activity. Did they call and harass you non stop like some have said? I did my charge wit citibank so if any of you had experience with them specifically that would help. My only fear is I have an account with another offshore book that is unaffilliated so I'm afraid if they share info it will impact my money there.

    All I can say is I wish I knew about this site a long time ago, it would of saved me opening up an account with them.

      You would be stealing from them.

      Just the same as them stealing from other customers.

      As long as you are ok with that, sure go ahead. Just remember, you are no better than them.

        Learn your lesson

        I feel for all of you screwed by sportsbook.com but must admit- You all deserve it for dealing with a terrible book. You're so desperate for bonuses, etc. that you joined a D/F book and got what you deserved. If people stopped being bonus whores, this would not happen.

        Greek/5Dimes/Matchbook/WSEX OR burn your money.

        WAKE UP and stop sending money to these scam outfits.

          You're not going to be able to do a charge back successfully if you live in the US. When Citibank asks what you were purchasing, and you say you were gambling online, they're not going to be helpful. They're going to say that you broke the card agreement by using the card for gambling.

            Do you rerally think it shows up on the statement as sportsbook.com? It probably shows as Lowpay or some shady thing. ****em back.

              You make it sound like I've never gambled online before. Just research the company that made the charge and think of an excuse.

                BS.

                You then tell Citibank you're filing a complaint for processing gambling transactions in violation of federal law.

                  most cc companies only give you 60-90 days after your statement to dispute it

                  if you were trying to withdraw in april/may, you're probably out of the range

                  though its shady and unethical to do it anyway

                              Don't take this as gospel, but I'm pretty sure the vast majority of books share a universal blacklist. If you initiate a ch*******ck, don't plan on ever getting paid again by any book. Tread lightly.
