I got an email from Spotsbook.com

with a promotional code. I opened the account with only the code and the money will be credited within 24-48 hours without an initial deposit by me and must be rolled over 30 times which is cool. What I want to know is do these guys pay? Are they ok?

I know you are a super duper handicapper and I think they heard that about you as well.

All the best.

30 times is freaking rediculous, it's just to make you bet more and prolly have to deposit extra

To put the "30 times rollover" into perspective.

Take a dollar bill......and keep folding it in half, either vertically or horizontally, or a combination of both......see if you can fold it in half 30 times.

I called them and i can use the promo money without any deposit by me so i'll just see if they fund it shortly as promised. it seems like a better deal than waiting on bos money at this point.

I used them last year and was paid $17, 000 without a problem, --seprate checks of 5,000, 5000, and 7,000 over a 2 month period. I have heard bad things about them from others. I think they have a B - rating. I switched to the greek, bet jam, and as off 2 days ago book maker

If they arent sponsered with Cappersmall Im not having it. BJ runs it, hands down. Havent played there in months, but I know after speaking to folk there several times it's all good.

WU payout in 2 hours, like I said. Running sh*t

Greek by default

many are speculating sportsbook is in a tough spot right now, not a complete scam book YET but I definately wouldn't send them any money.

Goodluck with your free shot at them hugo let us know if they pay if you ever get there, I have heard of other books doing this and not paying but not sportsbook specifically.

If you really want to wager on-line I would highly recommend Jamaica(Greek) and Bookmaker(Cris). This is the combo I am using right now and they are both proven long-term financially strong and reliable and they are not connected.

I never had any problems with them either. It had been my primary until betjm never had a late payout or a problem and the customer service has always been good. I cant say the same for sportsinteraction though

We all know sportsbook USED TO be a good book. The point is right now they may be in financial trouble and these offers they are sending out suggest that as well. The fact that they were sending checks 2-3 years ago is completely irrevelant.
