Any ideas on Skybook guys? Thinking of opening an account there-are they any good?Haven't found any serious complaints about them.

Skybook dropped in rating to a B- and so I removed them from my books. It was kind of pain, if I remember correctly moving the money out. I still get emails for their bonuses, however, if I call, they tell me I don't qualify. They had decent limits at the time, 2K online and 5K call in, but now if they are going under Bet Phoenix then their limits would just pool with all the other Bet Phoenix brands.

I am not really sure where Skybook is going, but if you are a recreational bettor, meaning small bets and just doing this for fun to get some money down on a game, then Sky Book is a decent little book and they offer some great bonuses.

BoL,

Yeah, I received multiple emails today as well.

Stay away from Skybook. They are now in business with BetPhoenix. Enough said...

Phoenix is hosting them and providing cs, according to them yesterday when I called.

They had a similar agreement with another provider before this. Still a good shop, 50% fp ain't bad.

Like them more for hoops and football than bases.

Payout options are limited and costly.

The new platform is not to my liking, and the payout fees are well below industry standard.

They have been a nice book for me over the past few years, but like another poster above, I wonder what direction they are heading? Any insights on what the future holds for them? I have some $$$ in them that I hope is safe.

This... one of the main reasons I left a while ago and haven't even considered going back.

They used to be a good "second tier" or "niche" shop. Now they seem to be just a another skin renting out the Phoenix platform.

Sad, but true... I logged in, planning to call and see if they were going to be a stand alone, but under the Phoenix umbrella, like the Greek and Bet Jamaica; but alas you are right. Once you log in to Skybook, the Bet Phoenix platform comes up, basically stating you are betting with Bet Phoenix. Which might be okay, as long as all your bets combined stayed below the BP limits. However, if you accidental do go over, you are putting your funds at risk.

If like me you can't stand the default software you can use bettor2.skybook.com instead. I wish they would have up a link or a menu that would let you choose if you want new or old style. The old one is so much quicker.

Is that a bad thing though? Might be having a large resource-rich platform doing all the host donkeywork is more efficient for a small book than doing it yourself.

It is a bad thing when your start betting limits and then your bets get voided later after they tell you are trying to circumvent their limits by betting at both places. Of course, if you don't bet that much, then that point is mute.

Thank you for the alternate log-in info. That really helped!
