I would love to hear some opinions from you guys on this. I can't seem to find too much info from review sites, etc.

Thanks

hmm, i made one bet there. they were a little slow on the cashout, but i got paid, and support was fairly helpful.

Personally, I haven't had any problems there, but their reputation is pretty poor.

Right now, Sportsbookreview.com rates them a D+. Their grade has dipped recently - it has mostly been in the C's - because they have confiscated funds from those who have collected bonuses from several of their skins (which I never did).

I admit I feel uneasy betting there, but they have the occasional rogue line that sticks around for a long time.

I have an account there because I played at Paradise Poker. Sportsbook acquired them about 2 years ago and linked the two. Otherwise, I probably never would have opened an account there in the first place.

Thing is: Paradise's reputation is very good; Sportsbook's isn't. Go figure.

if you play on sportsbook.com via Paradise Poker, then Paradise manages your funds at all times and payouts are very reliable. main drawback is the lack of bonuses beyond the initial $25 match. and if you have a paradise account, it's virtually impossible to sign up at any of the other sportsbook.com skins.

I did the free $25 via Paradise and was immediately offered the full sportsbook bonus after I cleared the WR for the $25. Since I trust 'dise I will probably do this bonus in the not-to-distant future.

a year ago they had the best customer service out there, and their payouts took place in about 1-12 hours.

now im lucky if i see my money in 5 working days, and their customer service isnt even that hot anymore.

still and all, i use them when i want to avoid paying neteller fees to deposit at pinny.
