have sportsbook.com in it's top 10.  I just discovered a website sportsbookreview.com which i saw someone reference in one of their posts. 

 

Sportsbook.com in on their blacklist, and it gives a D - rating.

 

I wish I had known a few months ago but covers should explain why they place it in their top ten.

 

covers.com or sportbookreview.com , one of them is wrong on this situatuion and the longer my check takes the more i'm starting to beleive it's the ladder.

 

thanks for nothing covers,

indeed it does, wish i had known sooner, thought this site was legit.

trance, great pic btw, that's the best contribution to this siter i've seen yet

I requested a payout on May 15th, I received it today.  No problems on my end.

I agree with Lou.  I have been paid each and every time when I have used them.  At times it has taken longer than should be expected. The issue that I have with Sportsbook is their lack of forwardness when there is an issue.  Stuff happens and I know that but they tend to give you "checks in the mail" stories when they should be upfront about any delays that exist.  A note on the front of their website would help but I am sure they don't want to turn customers off from depositing if they were to do that.  Plus many customers don't withdraw that often or at all so they don't even know that there is a problem.  I know Alex is the PR guy there and he should make a better effort to get more upfront information to anyone who calls on a withdrawal issue so they feel more comfortable with the situation upon hanging up with customer service.

jchoo96, Sportsbook.com is in the Top 10 list because they belong there. I've been around the industry since 1995, the beginning my friend, and I know everyone behind every operation. The people behind sportsbook.com have hundreds of millions of dollars. They're huge, they pay and they have a great product - that's why they're on the list. If you don't get paid call me out.

 

trance, I've loved the avatar for awhile, even watched the video from your spaces page. I’ve got to tell you every time that avatar loads costs me money, so yes I do take money (and we're not cheap to advertise) from books on this site. However, we've been around for 13 years and not one of our recommended books has ever gone under. Until there's regulation that's pretty much all we can do isn't it?

 

The fact of the matter is most posters in this forum are actually shills for other books trying to hurt the competition. No one in their right mind who even knows this business would say Sportsbook.com is going out of business. They were sold to Sportingbet for $250 million dollars back in the heyday. The last year Sportsbook.com’s statements (annual statements here) were public they had revenue of $200 million and a gross profit around $60 million. In terms of traffic and customers they're the same size today in my opinion. Does this lead to bad customer service sometimes, yes and this has been brought up to them, but to say SB is not legit is overkill at the very least.

 

Let's speak the facts here folks, not just a bunch of shills trying to take down the competition.

sportsbook.com...BEWARE

logans is another on the covers recommended list with a D- at sportsbookreview.

 

having observed that, though, i wish sbr would give reason codes or something like it to indicate the main reason(s) they're slagging a site ... there's a big difference in a poor grade for payment hassles versus a poor grade just because a reviewer didn't like the layout or think they had enough uzbekistani cricket props.  i have had a couple of accounts with covers advertisers who were given poor grades by sbr and yet i didn't have any payout problems; sportsbetting.com is one such site.

SBR gives more weight to haters and bashers more so than covers does.  If 5 people bash a book on SBR they'll look into changing the grade.  Not the greatest barometer to use as most complaints have a piece of the story missing.
