    They are crooks and have stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars from SBR readers.

    I was actually wondering myself if I should find another poker site. I play at 5dimes' skin on truepoker.
    They have a new client now that's much much better than previous.
    How's your poker game been?

    Don't say you hadn't been warned if you stick a dollar in there and don't get it back if you win

    They are supposed to have improved recently, and your account will now be at sportsbook.ag where they have a moved the site. I have played there plenty of times and been paid quickly without any issues, but historically some people got stiffed by them regarding bets/correlated parlays etc, and some of it has still not been resolved.
    The problem is that some posters have never even played there (or on other sites they comment on) but pass worthless sniper comments to collect their SBR points & offer no credible information based on actual experience. This can make it difficult to filter out who is talking complete shite from the posters who have really have had bad, (or good) experiences here or anywhere else, and can give accurate useful information.

    The "some of it that hasn't been resolved" is thefts in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. The "they've supposedly improved" is just Justin7 being ridiculous again, see the BetUs recommendation in his book. For whatever reason, if known crooks with a long history of theft give him satisfactory results in small disputes, he's willing to overlook the thefts, citing "well I can only go by what I personally see." It absolutely baffles me that he doesn't understand that a book can easily afford to pay 10 $500 disputes if they steal $50,000 from the 11th player. Avoid sportsbook.com at all costs until they at a minimum pay back the various past thefts.

    There are thefts other than the CPs as well. They specifically told players they could open accounts at different books in their family and then stole winnings, citing "multiple account abuse." They also voided a bunch of pending futures that had positive equity post-UIGEA claiming they were leaving the US market and then rejoined the US market a week or two later, but did not reinstate the futures.

    Tough call my friend
    Alot of wisdom in the two posts above me.
    Weird thing is I think you'll be safe as a small rec guy, so see if you 'love' the poker interface and enjoy
