This is lengthy, but please read. You will find it interesting. CRSB stands for Costa Rica Sports Bet. Web site: CRSportsBet.ag
Someone referred me to this sports book in late 2014. They were offering a 200% CASH match signup bonus. I sent them $1500 and they gave me $3000. They informed me that my first wager was guaranteed and if I lost, I would get a refund. It would probably have been a Bonus Play, but I didn't ask and just assumed it would be cash. They allowed up to $5000 per wager so I put it all on a New Orleans Saints game and I won! Of course there was a large rollover associated with my deposit, but that was no problem.
I finally completed my rollover requirements around August of 2015. By that time I had run my balance up to around $18,000. They had a limit of $2000 per withdrawal and only once per week. I don't like keeping that much money deposited with any of my betting sites, so I immediately requested a $2000 payout. I got paid, but they were extremely slow in paying taking as long as 6 to 8 weeks to finally send me my money. They would send me money orders in denominations of $500 or $1000. I only requested one payout at a time, but as soon as I received my payout, I would request another. Every request I made would take 6 to 8 weeks for me to receive the payout. Meanwhile I continued to bet with them and give action. I received several more payouts of $2000 each during the year of 2015.
In 2016 they changed their policy and limited payouts to $1000 at a time. Again I received several payouts during the year of 2016, everytime taking many weeks. I got my last payout around September or October and left $4000 in my account to bet sports with. I had received a total of $10,000 in payouts, always with money orders. I continued to bet with the money I had left on deposit. By the time March madness started in 2017, I had lost my $4000 and my account was empty. I made a deposit of $1000 and was given a $1500 cash bonus, giving me $2500 in my account with a new rollover amount. I made a few bets and was quickly down a couple of 100. Then I made a couple more bets, maybe a little larger and I was quickly up a couple 100. I'm normally a $100 base better, but I do go larger, depending on my financial situation.
Anyway, one day I made 4 bets of $100 each, two afternoon games and 2 night games. I won the two afternoon bets. That night I was on my computer and getting ready to leave the house and go to the casino, when I received an e-mail from CRSB. The night games had just started They informed me they were closing my account as their risk management department decided they no longer wanted my business. Fine! But I could not understand why they would want to kick me out as I was on a $4000 losing streak. Over the years I am a losing player, but I can afford it and I enjoy it. I had money in 12 other sites, so it wasn't that big a deal. However, I won my two night bets and now CRSB owed me $3100. If they wanted to take back their $1500 bonus, OK, send me the $1600 or $1400 you now owe me. They didn't!
When I tried to contact them by phone, they would hang up or disconnect as soon as they knew who I was. They would not respond to my e-mails. After not trying for a few weeks, I tried to contact them again with the same result. I had friends try to contact them for me and the same thing happened to them as soon as they stated the nature of the call.
Sports books stealing the money is nothing new, but here's the kicker. I stay so busy that my mail piles up and gets put aside. I finally got around to looking at my mail which was about a month old. I found a letter from a detective from another state. He asked me to call him as my name had come up during one of their investigations. He assured me I was not in any trouble. Curious, I responded to him via e-mail. He told me about a scam by a Costa Rican sportsbook that paid their customers with money orders. Eventually we determined it was CRSB. The scam they were using was the old telephone scam telling people they were the IRS and owed back taxes, penalty and interest, etc. The detective told me they had scammed an elderly couple in his district saying they owed $1500. Both the elderly man and the woman had dementia. They sent money orders in the amount of $1500. Later the couple couldn't remember if they had sent the money orders, so they sent them again, and again, and again and again and again, until somebody finally stopped them. In all this couple sent a total of 1.5 million dollars to CRSB! I and others were paid with these money orders. I wrote to this detective recently to get an update, but I did not get a reply.
Initially I reported CRSB to SBR, Sportsbook review. I told my story to two of their representatives. That was the last communication I had with SBR. They have not responded to any of my subsequent inquiries and they have never posted anything on their site about CRSB. I would not trust SBR. The best on line site that I bet with is Oddsmaker. I have been with them for over 10 years. Never had a problem. They give excellent cash match deposits of 100 and 200% sometimes and I've always gotten paid in a timely manner. SBR gave oddsmaker a rating of D minus.
Please Spread the Word about CRSB. They can't be trusted.

oddsmaker stole 42000 documented at sbr and other industry sites and "persons" from me and is BY far the worst up and running sports book. They never pay and are a total scam.

how to you end your long most disturbing post here the money order story with an endorsement of oddsmaker. they are a total F by the way not a D-


(if you have a manager name or some owner info at oddsmaker who is now helpful taking care of customers please PM me with that info)
