They're part of justbet. Pretty solid, but small limits and not very good odds.

I havent played there in a long time. But I remember when I did, they paid interest on my balance. That was nice.
I cant see anything about that on their site anymore, so maybe they have discontinued this offer.

This is the worst book I've ever done business with. I've been with them under the Justbet banner for about a month, and I've already experienced lots of problems.
-The software is very buggy. You'll frequently get logged out for no reason. If you click to look at the lines on a certain sport, you'll often get taken to the wrong sport. I had one instance where the site wouldn't accept a bet due to a bug... I eventually got it to go through on a mirror site after 15 minutes, but it was a huge pain in the ass.
-Customer service is awful and pushy. I've had emails to two different CS addresses bounce back to me as undeliverable. When I first signed up I got an unsolicited call from a guy who either needs to stop snorting coke or start taking ritalin. The spaz gave me incorrect bonus info and was so unprofessional I almost didn't deposit even though I had already planned to prior to his call. I asked them not to call me at home after this, but they called anyway later on.
-The limits are tiny. I tried to bet $150 on a UFC fight tonight... nope. The limit on UFC is only $100. It's not like they reduced my personal limits either, as I've only made like 3 or 4 bets with them and never bet on UFC before.
-The don't offer many betting options. For example, my favorite sport to bet is boxing. They haven't offered one line on any boxing match since I signed up. The offer very few props, and don't have a lot of options on really any sport that I've seen. Lines often go up very late, and they have hardly any lines up overnight.
-The freeplays aren't as good as they seem. You can only use them on straight bets with a point spread. That makes them near useless this time of year because most of the biggest events in the summer (baseball, fights, tennis, golf) aren't primarily point spread sports. And the spreads they do use, like runlines for baseball have gigantic juice. The rollover is also bigger than the other books I've used.
The whole operation is so shoddy that if it weren't for their SBR grade I would be incredibly concerned about the safety of my deposit.

Yes, you don't have the widest range of lines here - that's why I eventually left. However no reason to worry about your money, they've been around for ages, and don't have a risky business model at all (very vanilla lines, high juice). They paid me $5k or so no quibble.
