This was good to watch. Natalie is nice to listen to and it's better seeing the serious side to SBR. I hope to see more of this in the future. Thanks Nat and J7!

PS. I hate betway, are they just a casino now?

A quick update on Sportsbook.com... The player placed a fixed odds wager, and was paid at those odds. If he placed it in a racebook, he would have been paid at track odds determined after the race. No foul there.

What do we think of sportsbook.com these days?

They have a history of mugging 100's of thousands of dollars from players via correlated parlays. They are professional in their dealings with me, and they resolve all issues quickly at the present. It is a bit paradoxical. If they would resolve the older issues, they could be rated much higher.

Any chance Betway will get a rating F?

Gamebookers also has a new rule in its terms and conditions:

Payment of bonuses
9.1 Subject to Clause 8.1 above, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Specific Promotional Terms, all real money bonuses will be paid into the Accounts of Qualifying Players within seven (7) days of entry into the relevant Promotion.

9.2 Your use of any real money bonuses is subject to Our review for irregular playing patterns. To ensure fair gaming and the proper use of bonuses, We consider low margin betting, equal betting, zero risk bets or hedge betting to be irregular gaming when deployed to exploit bonuses. Further examples of irregular playing patterns also include, but are not limited to: (i) placing single or multiple bets of a value of fifty percent or more of the bonus on any single game , individual hand, or round, building a balance and significantly changing play patterns (bet size, game types, bet structures etc) in order to meet the bonus release requirement; (ii) placing large bets which result in a substantial gain followed by a drop in bet size equal to or more than seventy five percent of the previous average bet size until the bonus release requirements have been met; (iii) if We have good grounds to suspect that you have sought only to exploit a bonus offered by Us in good faith to enhance your entertainment (for example, on acceptance of a bonus, the minimum wagering requirement is met and funds are subsequently withdrawn). In the event that We deem that an irregular playing pattern has taken place, We reserve the right to prevent you from cashing out Account funds and/or withhold any of Your winnings derived from Your use of the bonus.
