    Just finished a live chat session with Lou from Skybook (SBR Rated B-) and as you can see they are aware of the problem however, I never got any details and or a mirror site. Now what made matters even worse is the fact that this gentlemen tried to convince me that the site was working when it clearly wasn't.
    Please wait for a site operator to respond.

    You are now chatting with 'Lou'

    Lou: Hello. How may I assist you?

    Dan: i was wondering when the website will be back up and running again?

    Dan: What's going on with Skybook?

    Dan: Also, do you have a mirror site available at this time till this issue is resolved sir?

    Lou: Thank you for reporting that to us

    Lou: we are aware and we are working to correct this issue

    Dan: You're welcome sir. Do you have a mirror site to use until this issue is resolved?

    Dan: Hello, Are you still there sir?

    Lou: thank you for the patience

    Lou: yes im here

    Dan: What is the root of this problem and do you have a mirror site that can be accessed until this matter is resolved sir?

    Dan: I'm assuming it's some type of DDOS attack?

    Lou: Im sorry but we do not have a mirror site, and as far as the root of the problem Im not sure, that would be a question that the Technical department is best suited to respond. They are working to correct the issue though.

    Dan: Can you do me a favor and ask or should I just call and inquire about this matter sir?

    Lou: I was just informed that it should be up and running and I have tried to log in with my personal account and I was able to access the account,

    Dan: I can't even bring the website up at this time on my end sir

    Lou: I will recommend that you please try to optomize your browser or try another browser and once you have done that please manually type in the website address www.skybook.com

    Dan: still not working for me sir

    Dan: Hello?
    After this live chat session I called Skybook and got the complete runaround, rushed, and blown off.

    Skybook used to be a nice little second tier book with the "free half point" promo and -107 lines.

    Skybook has been shite for a couple of years now. First they lowering limits on withdrawals (I think it was like $2500 deposit but only $1000 withdrawal through e-wallet) and then raising fees ($50 to get $1000) and then they just became a beard at BetPhoenix.

    Why bother?

    I think I know the root of the problem. By checking whois, it appears their website registration expired yesterday.

    Funny I was looking for a contact in my phone ans saw my Skybook contact from a few years ago and deleted it because they are junk. Now I see this thread and feel even better about doing it.
