    Default Sportbet Review?

    They called me today and offered me a 50% cash bonus on my depoist. I wanna know if they are any good and if there payouts are legit. Right now I am getting ready to depoist in either Heritage, Bet Jamaica, or Sportbet. Sportbet is gonna give me the best bonus by far, however I'm not gonna use them if they have bad reviews. So anyone that has used them recently please give me some feedback on how it went.

    The only thing newsworthy I remember reading about Sportbet lately is that they debited a players balance due to a long period of inactivity, and they did correct the problem that next day along with a $50 inconvenience bonus.

    Rm, I was with Sportbet for most of 2006. Overall, it was a bit of a bizarre experience. Started out at $250 online max, then had it bumped up to $400, then $500 after I requested it...However, not long after that, I was maxed out at $100 a bet online. At the time I had a negative won/loss total overall and had never made a withdrawal, but so be it.

    I had several wager grading mistakes, in fact, probably more there than at my other books combined throughout the entire year. To their credit, they were always quick to correct them when notified, but it sill made me wonder what the hell was going on over there. When it came time for me to withdraw, after 8 or so months of action, I was informed that I had not met the rollover requirement, which may have been the most humorous thing I ever heard last year, considering I had made hundreds of wagers. If you're going to use them, read over their list of what is and what is not considered as being towards rollover; And it's quite a read.

    They will pay, I have absolutely no doubt about that. But I'm also completely convinced they are terrified of sharp acton, or at least, what they percieve to be sharp. Shame really, because although they have a lot of vanilla lines, they also have an absolute ton of props; Comparable to The Greek in quantity.

    One other thing: If you do use them and if you ever have a dispute, talk to "Andrew" at CS, assuming he still works there. That guy is the Lebron James of CS representatives as he pretty much puts all others to shame, regardless of sportbook.

    Well guys I really hope they pay because right now I cannot afford a slow payout as I need the money if I win it. Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into this more and make my decision tomorrow as to what I wanna do.

    Cut limits quick. Bonus is somewhat sketchy and takes a longtime to rollover. Good selection of props. Futures markets are typically 200%.

    As stumpage says read their terms and conditions. Heavy favourites dont count towards rollovers, ML on most sports (except baseball) don't count etc. Props are huge there. I would re up there but neteller went down and I don't have a quick and easy way from Canada to get money in and out.

    Sportbet hasn't slow-paid a player or hassled them for bonus hunting in years. You should be fine pursuing that offer.

    The sometimes low limits have been mentioned. They are a bit more frequent than most books for rejecting bets and moving the line at the confirmation screen. Having said that, they occasionally have a surprisingly opinionated number that I will totally expect not to go through - but it does (albeit with those low limits).

    Personal gripe: way too fast for your log-in to time out. WAY too fast.

    But they're okay.
