Not real impressed with the Rio group

nochanceinhell · Mar 27, 2006

Deposit into Rio and Skybook, get a 10% bonus at Rio and the 250 Bonus Play at skybook, lose it all at Skybook, win a little at Rio.

Their halftime lines change for me more than any other book, including Pinny. At least 5 times I hit refresh (update lines), place the bet, get the line has changed message. It was all very quick too.

Put in for a Neteller withdrawal at 8:30am, it's $15 - no free withdrawals. And now they tell me it's going to be there around 7:30pm. So I have to pay for the withdrawal and it's not even going to be done before I leave for work. What a bargain!!! I don't mind paying for a withdrawal if it's done in a reasonable time period - within a couple hours.

Not very impressed with them at all. Much better options out there IMO

Just letting you all know my experience there

They are one of many books that are super slow with payout, but when you deposit it's lightning fast.

Thanks for the post...never played there. Too many other good books to play w/ where this crap doesn't happen.

skybook is a must out during hoops because of the free half point. i agree with the other stuff you said though.

Always liked them. Phone in most of my plays and bever have had a problem with changing lines.

Does Rio/Skybook and The Prescription have the same owner? I thought I heard this a while ago but did not know if it was true.

No.

nochanceinhell · Mar 27, 2006

I found it crazy that I play at Pinny and I've had the line change on me a couple times in a few months, but at Rio over a couple days, it happened at least five times. Keep in mind that I always hit update lines and then quickly place the bet.

I'm also aware that halftime lines move like crazy. I just thought it was weird.

I have 6-7 books and it's rare to have that problem at the other books.

My other point was paying $15 for a payout and having it take 11 hours. That's below the big boys- pinny, hollywood, wsex, thegreek, 777rock, etc - very mediocre IMO

Dante · Mar 27, 2006

ALL of the books have there good and not so good points

YES Pinny has among the fastest payouts and I like pinny alot and Rio/sky is not that fast that is for sure maybe they will change that with this continued feedback

BUT the free half point is awesome to have ...and I can wait for it at the end of the same day if I had to ...I do not see that as much of a big deal when it comes to getting the free half

I really do not know what happened to day with this withdrawal but the withdrawal times are clearly posted on Skybook's website.

All withdrawal requests less than or equal to $1,000, received between 11am and 4pm Pacific time, will be released within two hours of the request. Any requests received before 11am, will be released at 1pm. Withdrawal requests and sportsbook to sportsbook transfers greater than $1,000 will be accepted until 2pm Pacific time, and released by 4:30pm.

Then is there any relationship Rio/Skybook has to the Rx other than being an advertiser here?

There is some relationship there..It's been mentioned a bunch of times

kidslick · Mar 27, 2006

i will tell you one thing especially for this ncaa tourney that free half point came in handy . ---fwiw

their contests at the rx are 2nd to none. i know they are not the best book in cyberworld . they are still a very good book

Any comments on this, Wilheim?

I have no problems with Skybook - I used them for a while this year without any issues. It just seems like they get an awful lot of publicity on here compared to the Platinum, Gold, and whatever sponsors.

nochanceinhell · Mar 27, 2006

it's still not in my neteller account. not a big deal, just irritating to have to pay and wait.

This stuff effects if you choose to reup with a book in the future, just giving my experience

i don't play full games so the free 1/2 point doesn't work for me

wilheim · Mar 27, 2006

Skybook is just another sponser here at The Rx. I give them no special treatment. They choose to sponser a lot of excellent FREE contests here at The Rx. that remains their perrogative but it is one of the reasons why they get a lot of press here in the Offshore Forum..

It's not late if over $1000, it's 4:30 Pacific time, I don't like it taking that long either, but it's within stated times.

wilheim · Mar 27, 2006

No chance in hell do you want me to look into the payout?

Email me at wilheim@therx.com and I will be glad to do so..

Doug..
