IAS opinions, no rating at SBR?

Thinking of sending in some change and checked the rating first and didn't find it. Any personal opinions on this shop?

International All Sports = IAS.

B rating.

They're a solid organization. I believe Canbet is owned by them.

Last time I tried IASbet itself, it was because they offered me a bonus deal. It ended up being an unremarkable experience. It is a very International type of book with lots of cricket, soccer, rugby; they didn't even have American style odds available. As I recall I found a few plays on tennis but eventually just transferred all my funds to a different IAS book (which, at the time, was Bet Australia.)

I have an account with IAS. It is Instantant Action Sportsbook. I am a small player. I got on a very hot streak (thanks mainly to Bucsfan) and won about $3500 from them the first month. I requested a payout via a cashier's check. I made the request last monday. I thought I would have the check by Friday at the latest. When it did not come I called and got a tracking number. It was picked up Friday and is scheduled for delivery on Monday. I don't mind waiting a week as long as I know I will get paid. I have no complaints about them. The customer service has been excellent.

Their main brand is Canbet which is at A-. A solid book with good cs but will collar winners. They lost money for the past 2+ years and continued the losing streak well after IAS bought them. According to TOW, IAS/Canbet turned that around this past quarter which would mark the 1st qtr in over 3 years Canbet turned a profit. But IAS is solid, healthy balance sheet and Canbet is a good 'A' group book.
