Brandon but w/e,

They confiscated winnings from a few dozen players for supposedly betting parlays that their TOS don't allow. They took roughly $30k from me, no one really knows the full amount among all users but a reasonable estimate is half a mil. They did NOT refund players who lost betting these same parlays during the same period of time.

They also still allow these bets to be made. So essentially, they're taking a free-roll because they can void winnings but not refund losses. A friend of mine had lost a (much) smaller amount over the same period but was not refunded anything. They have essentially just said "[censored] you" and gone about their business. This incident has been reported across sportsbetting forums LVASports, EOG, SBR, etc. SBR has contacted Sportsbook.com and their representatives have insisted they will not change their stance on the issue.

All we can do is try and spread the word to prevent business for them in future.

I have proof of all of this in lengthy e-mail exchanges with them, they cancelled $10k in cash-outs from me and openly admit in LiveChat and e-mail to taking $29k and change. SBR is the main place I've gone to to try and get help but nothing is going to be changed.

Also they had affiliate sites underneath them who at first voided winnings but then after pressure changed their stance. Sportsbook.com and Hollywoodsportsbook.com have held firm which leads me to believe they were hit much harder, but they also have the most to lose so it seems odd.

To be fair, the 2p2ers I referenced were playing on Cake, which is a skin, not Sportsbook.

I hadn't played there in months and they gave me a free $50 a couple of months ago. I've made a few scores in a couple of their larger tournaments so it has worked out for me. I could totally understand why most of you would not like the site. Less 2+2, better for me.

yeah but sportsbook is tied to cake, which is all 2p2ers now

only difference is when you try to cash your monye off sportsbook now, you are probably going to end up waiting a few months

my recent cashouts from sportsbook were prompt and well within their estimated delivery times, the only problem is they have a withdrawal limit of 2.5k per transaction, and if you make more than one transaction per month they charge a $40 fee for each withdrawal after the first one

so basically yeah, you have the choice of either letting them rape you a little bit or waiting a few months to get your money out depending on how much you are withdrawing

it's a pretty good angle they got going, im sure tons of people do just what i did and end up blowing an extra couple hundred bucks they had left on sports betting after withdrawing the max for the month and not wanting to pay like 20-30% juice to get their rest of their money out

I've cashed out every month for the past 4 months and have had the check within 10 days every time.
