I've been using this site for a few years. The echeck method used to be great however they no longer offer it.

Only withdrawal options are check, instadebit, and moneybookers.

Homedawg · 10-16-08, 11:39 AM

all access prepaid **** credit card is the easiest for of deposit IMO.

Sportsinteraction (SBR Rated D+) has had a checkered past with their confiscations and lowering players limits to next to nothing. While I haven't read of any new outstanding complaints and or processing issues levied against them recently, that doesn't mean you might not face problems if you play there.

Venom518 · 10-18-08, 05:00 AM

I have been playing w/several sites, but I have been playing at SI for about 10yrs now. They still have the E-check deposit method, however...the E-check withdrawal method is done by you siging up for virtwallet which is a merchant site. (I have it and it is great). I just got a 2k withdrawal from SI into my virtwallet account and it was in my back account in 2 business days. 2k is the max that virtwallet will allow for you to transfer per transaction.

penny1cg · 10-19-08, 08:18 PM

I talked to their customer service and they told me the Echeck withdrawals are now working. Anybody had any success doing this?

bigboydan · 10-20-08, 12:45 AM

You shouldn't have any problems using the echeck feature IMO. I mean if they say it's working at the moment, then it's pretty much follow the prompts they give you on their website sir.

I have been a sportsinteraction asmall player for 10 years. ranging from 10 bucks -50 bucks a bet. I enjoy the fact the limits are low cause Im a small player and it helps keep me honest and not a gambling addict.lol I heard of previous complaints but in the past but never had a problem with a payout. The complaints were because of what is called syndicate betting that is taking advantage of the small limits and creating more than one account too exceed the limit. I agree with sportsinteraction in that regard that is cheating. During the past 5 years I expierenced some bad luck and luckily this year I had some good luck. (I am waiting a small payment)As of now I reccomend the sportsbook alot espeically for the average joe who just want too have a little bit of a good time. I do enjoy playing mostly underdogs. Lets go Rays! Right now I have a small hassle about sending documents for security reason. Which Im assuming is in everybody's best interest. I'll keep you posted on the outcome for it has been 5 years since I ask for a small withdrawel. As of now I never had a problem...keep ya posted. Good luck

bigboydan · 10-24-08, 12:11 AM

sportsinteraction is a good book for the smaller recreation players. However if you show any type of promise at all, then they will boot you. In fact I have even read at one point if you won 10 dimes you would automatically be shown the door.

golfguy112233 · 10-24-08, 12:26 AM

they accused my friend and i as being the same person. I followed his hot streak and their lack of enforcing correlated parlays ( i do not think they knew what they were before us because all of a sudden a new rule popped up regarding these play)and got shown the door and it took forever to get the money out as i believe they stall big time when you take out a nice chunk of change or their fax machine/ pcs cant handle a simple fax and/or scan. Now i am not the biggest poster around as you can see by my numbers, but is it just me or do you find it a bit odd that someone who has been player there for 10 years, opens an account today and praise the site? and if anyone one knows, why was my friend able to make phone bets and i was not? hell another friend of mine can and 2 others cant.

CarlCee · 10-24-08, 12:30 AM

I heard Intertops would even do that but they would honor your winnings than show you the door! I'm assuming they would at least honor your winnings than boot you or even lower your limits too say 50? From what you know do they honor your winnings and pending plays than show you the door? That is only fair and keep the book respectable. If you happen too win a 1000/1 bet thats not your friggin fault. I'll fill you guys in. I always loved this book along with intetops. I was a member of bettorsworld but they seem too take on too much marketing and advertising and had a self interest agenda. This place seems more real glad I found ya's.. Stay Well.

bigboydan · 10-24-08, 12:34 AM

Those types of business practices are typical of a lot of books (hence the D+ rating). Also, you can check the SBR rules monitor for any recent rules changes that might have occurred.

I use too be a member of bettorsworld which was good at first but later it seemed had a self serving agenda I was scamed by world wide sportsbook. (wwsportsbook.com) remember those birds? Ive played with a few sites took some loses but enjoyed intertops and sia most suited for me. Again im a small player whom the last 5 years hasnt made a withdrawel. And yes been with Sia like 10 years I was curious what people were saying recently about SIA. If it true about winning too much Im assume they would honor your winnings and pendings? Because Intertops would. Too stay respectable. At least that was the world on bettorsworld.I keep hearing them accusing others of being two different people? What the hell is that about??? Now thats bizarre. the limits are so low. Either case Ill write a review up one of these days and see how things unfold in the near future.

But heres the key would they at least honor your winnings and pendings wagers? Because when I was a member of bettors world. I heard Intertops would do that too people. But they would respect your winnings and pendings than youd get the boot too me that would keep the book respectable at least. Wouldnt you say.?

bigboydan · 10-24-08, 01:01 AM

They should honor your wagers and then show you the door. However, lower graded books like SIA won't do that. If you need assistance with a dispute at all, you can always fill out a complaint form with your details and one of us will inquire to them on your behalf.

Well thanx for at least some resource. I will cancel all my TV sports packages I cant afford them anyhows. The reccommended books keeps changing on a yearly rotation look at that fiasco on BetonSports.com Siruis radio should be sued. Which I will cancel as well. Sia should take on intertops practices if they hope too stick around. Stay well. Does SIA ever come and respond too these threads?

SIA will pay you when they show you the door.

Vietbet · 10-24-08, 12:14 PM

With the head start they had, combined with a pretty good website, they could have been great

tomcowley · 10-24-08, 12:59 PM

SIA paid mid-5 with no BS beyond sending license/utility bill.

how recently?

tomcowley · 10-24-08, 03:12 PM

Through the summer. I know of smaller (low-5) ban + payouts through September.

CarlCee · 10-24-08, 03:27 PM

Yeah well I had the Rays 50/1(AL) and 100/1(WS)...........Lets ee what happens maybe they can get back too a C or something. Despite some debts Im willing too give some too charity of my choice. If they win the WS

CarlCee · 10-24-08, 04:37 PM

Well I talked too them via phone and they seem honest like they have always been with me in the past. And Im expecting a small payout.So far so good if your a small player like the moderator says SIA is a great book. If you want too bet 5000 bucks go somewhere else. I'll set up a review when the football season is all said and done in the review section.
(still deciding on my charity of choice) first thing first
Lets go Rays!

SIA is a solid book for $50 type players and under, very nice software also.

And thats exactly why I love them along with Intertops. and if they ever "give me the boot" so be it. All I ask is they do it with class and style like "Intertops is known too do"...honor your winnings and pendings and/or even lower limits. And they should be around and a fan favorite for a long time.

tomcowley · 10-26-08, 12:30 AM

Low 5 figures: 10-20k. Mid 5 figures: ~45k. They told me to get lost and shipped me my balance over a series of checks each week. I had no issues.

jarimh · 10-26-08, 06:42 AM

I just go this message this week from Sports Interaction

"Unfortunately, we have come to the conclusion that, as a business decision, we must now decrease your bet limits to 25% due to questionable excessive winnings for a recreational sportsbook account"

Excessive winnings! Me, never

Last 13 Bets
2 Wins
6 Losses
and 5 Asian handicap Draw no bets with voided results.

Lots of ghosts here trying to discredit SIA

SIA has always been a top book for a recreational player since the beginning

I highly recommend playing there and I have a CLUE

Well some of bad reviewers could always be "sore losers", competitors, and or actually cheaters who use more than one account so they can bet more. I dont even mind lower limits cause its still 95% luck. Ive taken my share of lumps. And I dont make alot of money I take it as just small entertainment. Too escape all the problems of the world on my time off which seems like hardly-(I havent had a vacation in 7 years) only when my auto-Immune disorder starts acting up. I get a day off. Its entertainment wether wall street playing for thousands(not my speed) or cops playing a 10- 100 buck football pool. (my kinda speed)Who Cares. Just my humble opinion.

I would also recommend playing there as long as you can. What I liked there was very good odds in Soccer Asian Handicap Draw No Bets. What I did not like was that I had to first call to them before withdrawing money, first time ever in any bookie I have used. And now being so much limited, they´re quite useless to me.

tomcowley · 10-26-08, 02:08 PM

They will cut and then ban you once you've won upwards of 10k, but that's no reaosn not to play there- you'll get paid. I think their rating is due to some older confiscation disputes, but if I had to recommend a book to a new player who isn't looking for multi-dime action, I'd feel as comfortable telling them to deposit there as I would pretty much anywhere else. I hope SIA resolves the old disputes, because based on all the experiences I know about in the past year, they're nothing but solid and significantly better than D+.

Well thats the bottum line, honor your winnings,along with future pendings.Assuming you play with only 1 account. Lowering limits is probably best for both parties (the book n the player)again thats my opinion. I mean I can go too the local OTB and bet my house and lose everything.If thats the case it gets a A. However those few past disputes I dunno.

Thumbs up for SportsInteraction

I just received another payout from SIA. I requested it 10/14 and received it today, 10/28. I have played there 3 years now with no complaints. They have good software, good customer service, and the best lines for underdogs anywhere.

I do not know why they are rated so low, D+, here at SBR. I have played at about 15 different sportsbooks, and SIA would rate at or near the top of the list.

I can't understand how a sportsbook like Bodog, where payouts take upwards of 2-3 months, can be rated higher than SIA. Can someone please explain that to me?
