Default Oddsmaker new sportsbook from former ownership of BetOnUSA
Oddsmaker (SBR rating D-) new sportsbook from former ownership of BetOnUSA (SBR rating D-). BetOnUSA sold it’s family of sites to Jazette Enterprises Limited (Sportsbook.com Group) in December of 2006. BetOnUSA is most known for giving players a free $50 account and then denying payouts to the few who are lucky enough to build their balance up to the $1,000 minimum required to withdraw.

Oddsmaker.com sent me a polo shirt and hat out of the blue. Good quality, too. I might actually wear the hat in certain scenarios.

Sportsbook.com does that to regular accts. alot so I am not suprised... They send you good quality stuff and give you money on your birthday... They must be sportsbook.com basically now like maker and cris.. BTW Sportsbook to have a D rating is just misleading... I only talk highly of them because for years they have always treated me good... When they make a wagering mistake they eat it... They have even made mistakes in giving me a win on a wager that lost... I bet my roll before they changed it and they let the bet stand.. I won and only after that did they ONLY TAKE the loss of the previous amount and let me keep the rest...

Oddsmaker.com has nothing to do with sportsbook.com.

I received a thing in the mail from them (as did one of my friends). It gives $100 to start, minimum $1,500 to withdrawl. So your saying I probably won't see the money if I get there huh? I'm at $825 right now, so we'll see if I can get there, and what will happen if I do...

Deep pockets with very short arms. Its free but you will not collect so its worth what it cost you assuming you have some time to kill.

I am having the SAME EXACT problem.. don't know what to make of it. The bank will not give me the physical check back either. They did provide me with a copy taht I have faxed to oddsmaker.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. Funny, each time i speak to Oddmaker customer service they swear up and down that My issue is an ISOLATED incident. That it has never happened before.

Question: was the check from a bank in Long Beach CA?

only positive thing I've ever seen you write, and it's because you got a free hat from a slow paying book.

The check is issued from XXXXXXX through XXXXXXX. I wonder if I can confirm anything through them? My bank said if they had proof that it was being paid then they could lift the temporary hold, otherwise I will have to wait until 6/18 to see if they pay up.

I am not sure about the others, but my bank still has a temporary hold on the funds until 6/18 to make sure it clears. I will find out Monday if it did or not. Oddsmaker customer service has guarenteed me it would, but we shall see.
