Default caribsports.com feebdback please..

I heard couple posters on this site said carib is fast in NT payout and I want to give them a try.

Anyone playing there have good/bad reviews of this sportsbook?

Please tell me your experience with carib.
The 50% signup bonus looks tempting, but they didn't mention anything about rollovers.

Thanks in advance.

The bonus is a credit put in your account. You can bet with it as many times as you bet your entire balance in action. If you deposit $100 you now have $150 to bet with. If you lose your $100, you still have the $50 to bet with (for example). But when you withdraw, the credit can't be cashed out. It is an ok bonus from a good book. I think most players would like Carib.

Carib is ok, best thing there is the very fast Neteller payouts.
The lines are nothing special thou, cant find much value there.
The bonus can be used like a freeplay, and 50% without a roll is great.

A Carib discussion? I'm just waiting for JJ to chime in...

The bonuses are removed when you cashout but you keep all winnings from them. You can make your own mind on how much worth they hold. But they do have worth.

Cashouts are the quickest I've ever seen. You can cashout and the money will be in your Neteller account by the time you go and login.

Lines are generally 20c lines for NBA/NFL/MLB moneylines, -110 on sides.

When I first read this, I thought, "Why would BBD respond this way?" Then I noticed the date of the post.

Carisports, they have a sticky bonus, meaning it stays with ya till ya withdrawal. So, if you are down to your last $50 and they gave you $50, you may not withdrawal it. It acts more like a buffer instead of a bonus. At least that was my experience with them, if I remember right. It's been a while. I still have a small bank roll with them, but mainly use other books

If your balance drops below $50 you can ask them to clear the credit. I've done so. It's in their rules:

All Bonuses are applied for playing purposes and is intended only to increase your wagering ability

The Bonus will only be added upon request (indicating acceptance of the listed Rules).

Once added, the bonus will be displayed as a credit.

If your account balance and or active wagers fall below $50.00, the credit will be cleared.

One account per Customer - characteristics of an account being shared can result in refusal of this bonus.

Only one sign up bonus per household.

Bonuses have nothing to do whether a book is good or not that is why most guys have no clue what good books really are and why.

carib is solid as they come, top notch and safe

Carib software is annoying beyond words- lots of clicks to get to lines, and you can refresh odds and still see an out-of-date line.

Technology wise, they may be a little behind but I'd say their customer service is very good. I've been with them for 8 years now. I used to really love them when you could get a pay out back to your credit card.
