For all you feeble minded individuals, if you don't want to ever sweat a pay out, play only at these books. Base on my own experience.

During The Baseball season last year i joined Sportsbook.com after hearing about them from a buddy of mine. i only deposited 20$ from my bank account and within a month i had it over 3,000$ when i was ready to cash out i contacted them and they had me going threw every obstacle in the book i had to send them this document... that document proof of address this utility bill that utility bill i mean OMG we went around and around for about 3 weeks back and forth...The biggest hassle i have ever had with anybody period. So after about 2 months of waiting and playing there gay ass games i finally received payment which by that time i had dropped down 1,000$ on my account of course due to making stressed bets feeling like i would never get paid any damn way so what the hell.... by the time it was all said and done i only ended up getting 2,100$ from them sent by cash check from some bank in Canada. i got my check from them cash that fucker the same day at Money Tree check cashing here in Vegas and have never went back to online betting period. one of they worse experiences i have ever had to go threw. not very good at what they do business most def. ill just stick to the casinos from here on out. i thought betting from home would save me the trouble of winning money at the book and giving it right back to the slot machines i guess i was better off where i started. anyways just thought i was share my story with you guys be safe out there and protect yourselves because they wont!

try a book like bookmaker/dsi/betjam if you don't want problems....of course Pinnacle is the best but US residents cant play there

sportsbook.com is not publicly traded. sportingbet is publicly traded and sportsbook.com was spun off from them and sold.

It is clear it now needs to be sold again!

90% of the stories I read about sites not paying out, not accepting my wagers, being cut off, yadda yadda yadda are full of shit.

These companies would not even be around if that was the case.  There are about 20 pole smokers on this site that chime in on each thread about theses subjects.  See if you can guess what clown I am talking about here?

I have been withdrawing my funds from sportsbook.com to a prepaid debit card they load up with my winnings for several months now ($5000 each time because that's the max withdrawal you can make).  They fund the debit card in 24 hours!  I have no problem with them.

The problem I have is the debit card they issued my was just recently used SEVERAL times fraudulently!  I logged into the company that manages the debit card (abistar card) to find that almost all of funds have been taken out.  There are over $5300 in charges I didn't make!!

Has anyone dealt with this company before and seen this happen with one of their debit cards?  I'm familiar with credit card fraud and handling this with my own bank, but since this card was issued from a sportsbook I'm seriously doubting they are going to credit me back the 28 transactions totaling over $5k very easily or at all!

If anyone has ideas or can help out in any way, I would REALLY appreciate your help.

Thanks!

So a friend has been a member of SB for years. Small time player, cashed out few times smaller amounts a while back ago when deposits directly to your bank account was still good.

Well recently, they put in $750 and won on football wagering up to about $3400.

Requested w/d 9/27/11, one for $950, and one for $2500, both by check.

On 10/19/11 the $2500.00 updated as processed, and on 10/21/11 a check via FedEx was received.

The $950 w/d is still pending, so we will see how that goes.

Another matter is now to see if the check clears.

I have been with Sportsbook for 6+ years. The only problem I have -EVER- had with them, is them sometimes declining my credit card for deposits... which is actually their processors fault.

Tons of payouts via every which method... never a problem. They now sometimes take a bit longer than usual, but it is what it is. 

As far as US available books go, I have used them all. I trust my funds are most safe in Bmaker, but Sportsbook is a very close second.

I'm guessing you have done a lot of losing with them. They would be dumb to screw someone that does multiple deposits to every one withdraw.

Yah I been with them for 3 years now and always got my winnings... I always request a check.... forget that whole deposit stuff....the checks come within a week.... As far as the depositing via credit card... yeah I have the same problem....it might not get deposited...but it's a minor problem.. i usually wait till the next day.....sportsbook is great.

wtf?
I am with sportsbook and I made a $2000.00 withdrawal October 8th. Still nothing and its "pending still"
They are bullcrapping me...at 1st was 4 weeks, now they are saying 6-8 weeks.
I think they are pissed that I made 4k off a $150.00 deposit and they dont want to pay now....

FYI: I requested a check,
