I was wondering if anyone has used them. I am up quite a bit and want to cash out. They require you to send in your drivers license and a utility bill as well as a canceled check for wire transfers. I am kinda nervous about sending this. Does anyone have experiences with this especially the wire transfer? Thanks so much.

everybook makes u send in an id and bill when cashing out, in my history. As for the wire, I have a buddy who has played there for yrs and thats how he gets paid through bank wires and has never had an issue. I use to play at sportsbook, but their lack of lines and customer service pissed me off and I left.

Ding ding ding. Their customer-service is lousy.

But from time to time, they have decent promotions/bonus.

Couple years ago, one of their payment-processors was shut down. Took them MONTHS to develop an alternative.

But from what I know, players eventually got paid. And the last 6 months, haven't heard of any major problems.

i requested one payout a couple years ago and it took 3 months. requested it for only $400 too.

ended up just throwing away the rest of my account and that's when i discovered the forums...i knew i needed a better place to play...

on the other hand, i have a good friend that has wagered thousands there for years and has never had problems getting his bank wire within a week...

personally i'd recommend getting all but a few hundred out and going with betjamaica. as far as the authentication stuff...no way around that...

For the record Sportsbook.com did have some banking difficulties after Neteller closed. I know because I helped dozens of posters get their withdrawals expedited. They would have eventually got paid anyway but I have excellent contacts there and was able to speed things up for a good many Rxers who played at Sportsbook.com.

Today Sportsbook.com gets zero complaints from Rx posters in my inbox but in the off chance you play at SB.com and need assistance simply email me a brief outline of the problem (include your acct# and name it is under) at person19481950@yahoo.com and I will contact them immediately in your behalf.

Thanks, wil..

wilheim, have you ever seen them close down an account because they won too much? Or is all that hearsay.

wilheim · Feb 8, 2010

Personally I have not ever had a complaint for those reasons but I should be fair and mention that Sportsbook.com is not a book that caters to wiseguy high rollers. Their clientele consists of the $50 to $1000 per game average players.

I know if you do get shut off (which a lot of books do these days) you will be paid in full also..They do not shut you off and keep your balance.

Cool at least they pay you if they shut you off.

Just got a payout from sportsbook.com. It took a few weeks due to some banking issue for all customers but I got it. Providing identification is standard. No big deal.

Thank you wil.

One last question. Im not a huge bettor but I usually bet 500 a game and Im up about 6-7K in there.....is a wire transfer good or is a wire transfer for that amoung suspicious. Thanks for the help. Had a great FB season ready to cash out.

I would recommend a wire - if you are concerned about the amount, do two separate withdrawals in order to cut the amount of each wire to less than $3500.

Best of luck, wilheim

I just got wire from sportsbook.com after about a week of waiting..best of luck

wemdomer04 · Feb 17, 2010

did you supply a voided check...just slightly cocerned about sending a check....thoughts?

skrtelfan · Feb 17, 2010

They don't always pay if they shut you off. They still owe me a ton of money from parlays they canceled months after the fact.

How much did you win? I'm always curious how much they allow before they shut people off.

skrtelfan · Feb 18, 2010

I don't recall the exact amount of the canceled parlays but they canceled everyone's parlays regardless of win size months after the fact. They didn't outright close my account, they just grading the winning parlays as voids months after the games had concluded.

KingofNicotine · Feb 18, 2010

Ok. Must've been a huge parlay cause I've won $4k parlays there and they didn't care.
