If you plan on betting the college football season, DO NOT use sportsbook.ag

they are MONTHS behind on paying withdrawals to winners. So even if you win a bunch of bets you never really see the money, and can only withdraw small amounts every several months. Once you give them your money it's very hard to get it back because they are in severe financial trouble. It's almost like a Ponzi scheme, they are using new account deposits to pay off withdrawals they owe months ago.
Sportsbook.ag lures in a lot of people because they have a badass interface that makes betting easy, and offer all sorts of deposit bonuses but don't fall for it. I built my account value up to $12,000 but was only allowed to withdraw $2000 at a time and it took like 8 weeks just to receive 1 fucking withdrawal.

I switched to 5dimes.com, and they are significantly better as they will directly deposit your winnings to your debit card in 2-4 days, which I love. Their website isn't as pretty as sportsbook but their financial solvency is the important factor.

This website has good reviews of online sportsbooks http://www.sportsbookreview.com/

5dimes, Heritage, Pinnacle are the most reliable online gambling sites for sports.

If you drift to the more risky ones you might never get your money back as they're all based overseas.

But Sportsbook.ag has such soft lines. Try and find a soft line at Pinny etc.

If you are betting/winning enough money to make it worthwhile, the smart move is just to take a flight to Las Vegas. I only use the online sites to get an idea of what tbe odds might be. Sports betting in New Jersey was shot down by a 2-1 Court of Appeals decision. We'll see what happens with the En Banc review.

Sports betting is fun.

Though if it was purely sports betting, it is 5dimes without a doubt due to their 5% juice.

Quote:I use sportsbook for sports betting and poker. I have made a withdrawal and it took almost three months, but I would really doubt that you are in danger of not getting your money, they are just slow as shit.

I'd be VERY careful with this, if it's true sportsbook is using new player deposits to payout older customers, they are breaking the law in a very serious way. It's also extremely shady to do such a thing, as any reputable poker/gambling site segregates player funds from everything else.

Not sure if you remember a year or two ago Lock poker had the same issues, and were involved in a lot of shady shit, but bottom line many players were waiting over 6 months for money, and as of today Lock poker hasn't been in operation since mid April this year, meaning they have likely gone under (taking many players' money with them.)

Thanks for the heads up OP, always good to be cognizant of these things in the gambling world.

I second this. One of my close friends recently made a big win at sportsbook.ag (~$1.2k on $200 invested), and he's been waiting 10 weeks and still hasn't gotten his money. The only communication he has with the people there is through email. I still have my account, but I'm not depositing another penny into it going forward.

I've done well at Nitrongen Sports (Review). It's a bitcoin only bet site, with instant withdrawals. The UI is good too, though I have no experience with other sites to compare it with.

I've used Bodog, it's pretty good.

Made a withdrawal and I think they delivered a cheque via Fedex or UPS less than 48 hours later.
