Default Why is this board sponsored by LooseLines?

Seriously, don't play there fellas!

$80 for most payouts, $35 for a monegram or **. No cashier's checks via courier available, and even though the website says they do transfers with Bookmaker, they don't.

Meanwhile you've got solid books like BetJamaica that pay out a check within 48 hours with no fees.

$35 to $80 for a payout, what a ****ing joke.

Oh I know the reason why, my question was more rhetorical than anything.

I used to check out SBR because it was considered a watchdog site and I thought the rankings were pretty fair and gave players a good opportunity to know where they should play and where they shouldn't. Now I don't know how much I trust them.

Like any business, SBR is only worried about their bottom line.

There rankings are still fair. They are however obtained based on commitment of book to advertise here.

Looselines is a decent book what are they like B+? But those fees are pretty stiff. At least you dont have to worry about getting paid. It is a good idea to shop around. Some guys just withdraw their bank roll at the end of the season so that fee may not matter as much as the guy who wants to draw down everytime he is up a few hundred.

Those fees are ridiculous. It doesn't cost them $80 to take your money, shouldn't cost you $80 to get your money back.

Any book that charges that much just to get your money back out is a joke and doesn't deserve to be ranked higher than a C.

Agree

It's hard enough to win, then you gotta get clobbered when you are lucky enough to live for a withdrawal? (speaking for their recreational bettors of course)

Agree with Weinke..kind of a whine, but $80 payout is just a scam to players who don't pay attention before they deposit..

There aren't any methods listed near $80. What will cost you that much?

If they list CRIS as a transfer and can't do it, they should charge you the same price (free) using an alternate method. One thing that held the Jazz groups rating back in the past was keeping the advertised banking options up to date.

They are listing check's via express mail.

European and Australian bookmakers don't charge for withdrawals, why should these American offshore bookmakers do it.

I was told by a clerk that it costs that much for ** or **, and that the cashier's check aren't available nor are transfers with Cris like their site says.

So yes, they aren't keep their banking options up to date, and are in fact being deceptive about them.

If they are gonna charge fees then, it should be on the amount of the withdrawal.
I would charge a higher fee for WD under a $1000 amount to entice players to keep their money in there, where they will LOSE IT ALL!
