    Sportsbook Unveils New Features
    By Dan
    USsportsbook.com has unveiled a series of new features for the upcoming 2006-07 sports season. With higher betting limits, horse betting, more liberal rewards and bonus policies, and a new casino, the company is hoping to exceed customer expectations.

    'Although we are one of the fastest growing sports book and casino sites on the internet, we simply cannot take our … position for granted,' said Marianne Anderson, Communications Director at USsportsbook.com.”

    According to Ron E., Operations Manager at USsportsbook, 'The industry is going through a period of consolidation by way of mergers and acquisitions. We would not be where we are today, seeking further acquisition opportunities and contemplating a public offering if it wasn't for our commitment to staying competitive and not only surviving in this market, but thriving. We listen to our customers, understand exactly what their needs are when it comes to online gambling, and we deliver and exceed their expectations.'

    I don't have any inside information but they sure seem like a small book with their actions. Very timid. They almost remind me of BCN with how quick they are to slap low limits and/or apply the boot to players.

    Very odd, I've dealt with Marianne before, nice girl... but US seems to be tiny book, almost like a BCN, maybe somewhat akin to No Juice, but I think NJ is larger, publically traded seems very odd for a mini-book, that I've never seen anywhere except TOW.

    I believe this release has more to do with the side businesses belonging to the same ownership such as software development for poker, skill games, P2P etc.

    Probably its the conglomerate of these businesses, which includes the sportsbook, that aims to go public sometime down the line.

    Haven't read that much BS in a PR in a long time and that is saying something.

    USSportsbook's company has always been dishonest with its marketing going back a few years. This would be funny if players weren't getting conned....



    The second set of "awards" is from Ussportsbook.com and link to www.officialbettingreview.com. It's an SBR ripoff that copied some of our pages but more importantly is owned by USsportsbook.

    Here is a press release that tops the previous one.

    I'm pretty sure that USsportsbook blatently ripped off the bodog site last year.

    Bill - Allow me to say that your assumption that www.USsportsbook.com and Offsshore Betting Review are owned by the same people is incorrect.

    www.officialbettingreview.com is based in Panama. I am one of 2 employees that is working out of Costa Rica. The rest are in Panama and the US.

    I personally met the owners of USsportsbook when they signed the sponsership agreement with us and they are not the same people.

    First, I hope you are not the graphic artist because, as you can see from the photo above, that person has taken some shortcuts.

    Threatening me with lawsuits and debating this is not going to result in a retraction. Besides the shared company phone lines and servers, the site itself is obvious. You guys tossed up a Pinnacle and CRIS and a few scams like BookThebet to legitimize it, then stamped USS with a 8+ medal.

    The press releases alone suggest USS is something it isn't.

    Another book playing the angles and shadows. It shows that they have no pronblem with some deception. What happens when a run starts here?

    This would be one to keep your eye on in the 'whos next?' department.

    No I am not the graphic artist, thank you for your concern though.

    I have no idea what you are referring to regarding lawsuits and phone lines.

    My point is that I have met the owners of USsportsbook, and it's not anyone that I work for.

    OfficialBettingReview and DATISI sites share the same phone numbers.
