Sportsbook.com free money question

dynacraze · #1 04-30-2007, 06:36 PM

They sent me 25 dollars on sportsbook and there's no restrictions. Says i have to make a minimum deposit first in order to withdraw. Should i not even care since I heard sportsbook.com have a lot of people still waiting for their checks? And also isn't the withdraw fee by check somethign like 30 dollars which means the 25 dollars is useless?

They send you free money b/c they know that they are never gonna let you cash it out.

Easy question, easy answer. Stay away from them.

I got a nice check from Sportsbook. I had made an initial deposit - did not get the free money.

It cannot hurt to play with free money. If you do well, make a small deposit and withdraw later.

The check took about 3 weeks, but it did come.

If you've already read what so many other people have gone through, how can you possibly be enticed by $25?

Well congrats you must have been one of the lucky few who hit the lottery. I've been waiting over 40 days and have seen no sign that my cash-out has even been processed yet.

thanks for the info. i am not interested in a site that has withdrwal issues.

i received a promo via snail mail. the contents makes it sound like paradise poker is now accepting US players. i miss the old paradise site. it had ok software, CS was great, and it wasnt populated by 8 tabling HUD-bots.

this does not sound like the old paradise. again thanks for the heads up.
