Default Sportsbook.com cash out

I deposited some money into sportsbook.com today, but after seeing all the complaints about this website, now I'm going to get my azz out of trouble as soon as posssible, so I will request a payout as soon as I'm able to.

I know you have to wait 7 days for the funds to be clear, after the fund are cleared, about how long will it takes to receive a cash out?

Thanks

This is from their website:

"We accept withdrawals 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and all withdrawals are processed within 48 hours."

Unfortunately, you may find that "Withdrawls are processed" is not equivilant to "Withdrawls are sent."


If this is your first deposit, depending on your method of deposit, they'll have a series of hoops prepared for you in a few days.

I didn't see how long it takes for an e-check. They only had paper check posted. Unless I somehow missed it.

If anybody knows please let 707 know.

When I first heard about sportsbook.com, a lot of those are positive commen, that's why I registered account with them. However, seeing all the complaint here, I really need to do more research next time.

Or maybe they're indeed pretty decent.

Don't overly worry about it. They're not the best book in the world but they are nowhere near the worst. Most of the issues are due to their CS and some odd management decisions. Your money is safer there than a lot of the higher-rated books.

Having said that, I'd change your password (and always change to random letters/numbers) after the recent spate of accounts seemingly being hacked into and balances emptied on obscure casino games.

Depending on your limits I suggest VIP, BetJamaica and of course the cream of the crop Pinnacle. Cris is also a solid book. Hell, every book listed at the top is awesome.

Yes, lots of better books - don't get be wrong. Pick any from the top and you'll have a better overall experience. I just meant you shouldn't worry too much about your pending cashout.

Yeah, If I heard about the bad one, then there's no way I won't recognized the good one, right.

I already registered an account with pinn......

Illusion, you said you like to play poker, where do you play at?
Partypoker? Pokerroom?

I just played couple blackjack at pokerroom, after the play, I could honestly say that it's pretty good, at least it's a lot better than the others that I have tried.

Personally, I like pokerroom.

Trust me there is nothing positive about sportsbook.com.
They were my first offshore book and when I request a payout. It took them 3 weeks to pay me.

by the way, it was also e-check.

Default sportsbook.com

I knew nothing about sportsbooks and asked my handicapper which
sportsbook is safe to use. He recommended sportingbetusa and sportsbook.com. I used both and doubled my accounts in both. Both paid me quickly but after reading this website I put all my money in pinnacle and cris. I was very scared I would not get paid
but luckily I did.

My withdrawals are now under "management review." I've been waiting a wee for them to process 2 withdrawals totalling $11,500. Evry time I call They tell me it will be another 24-48 hours. I found 1 manager who said if I call him tomorrow in the afternoon, he would try to get some info for me. If you send these guys money, you have to do it by credit card, and you have to be prepared to do a charge back
