Starting with a big positive, Carib has had a reputation for lightning quick, reliable payouts for several years.

More on the negative side, they use the unpopular "sticky bonus" incentive.

Overall I would describe them as a solid, well-established out. Unspectacular though. They have a very conventional set of offerings at full juice - 20 cent lines on MLB sides.

Other than the sticky bonus, one thing they have which is unpopular is the drop-down menu for wagering amounts (i.e. you can't just type in the exact amount you want to wager.)

They have quite a variety of daily promotions. Check the website for details.

What's a sticky bonus?

Not sure why some complain about the sticky bonus, its like getting a freeplay with no rollover.

As mud alrdy said, the payouts are very fast (Neteller).
Some opinionated lines can be found there, carib doesnt move them too fast - from my experience.

20c MLB MLs are a minus, and $500 limits on totals/runlines sucks too.

Overall id say they are very safe to use, have a very fast responding CS (i like the memos), and you wont get the runaround there. Nice out, but the lines and limits arent good enough to make them a must have.

What's a sticky bonus?

A sticky bonus is money they add to your deposit that you can never withdraw. It's useful in that you can make bigger bets and win more than you could have if the bonus wasn't there, but if you get to the point of taking a payout, the book keeps that bonus money.

Did that make sense? I hope so.

As Terris says, there are strategies to maximize sticky bonuses. They can be quite valuable. But a lot of people just don't like them (largely due, I would imagine, to not understanding the maximization strategies).

Let me see if I get this. I deposit $1000 and let's say they add $100 to the account. I now have $1100 I can wager. I bet $1100 and lose. Now I make another $1000 deposit and they add $100. I now win $1000 and my account is $2100. What is the amount I can w/d $2000 or $1900?

$2000 (bonus debt resets when your account goes to 0)
