Today I’d like to take a look at the internet’s #1 sportsbook, Sportsbook.com. Phenomenal as they are in providing customers with top-notch support and features, I have struggled myself with their service and had my account unfairly shut down. Yet even with this in mind, I recommend Sportsbook.com to everyone (over 18) because they have made recent changes to improve their services and reduce their fees. Let’s have a look at the number one sports betting site on the net.
Recently, Sportsbook.com dropped their deposit minimum from $50 to $20. I think this was an excellent move, as it should encourage more amateur players to give it a whirl. More than this, Sportsbook.com’s main pull comes from their superior bonus offerings. They routinely endorse offers like 50% deposit bonuses and referral incentives. Currently, they are running a 10% first-deposit bonus which is pretty standard. In addition, you get 5% on every deposit after that and 21% of every one of your referral’s deposits.
Sportsbook.com provides the same spreads you see on ESPN.com and most major newspapers, so you know the lines are fair. But before we dwell into that, one of the first concerns is usually “how do you deposit and/or withdraw money?” While I have neglected their services for a while, checking up on their payment/withdrawal methods has revealed improvement. Finally, you can withdraw money for free once a month (as of June 2007). It really pained me before to see it so hard to get money from Sportsbook.com, but now it is available without fee via check or wire transfer once a month (otherwise $40 fee). Depositing is even easier. Deposits can be made fee-free by using a credit card (Visa & Mastercard accepted) or cash transfer.
The call-in support line at Sportsbook.com is typically very friendly. I recall getting a call after I had no activity on my account for 30 days and they gave me a FREE $10 deposit! This is the kind of generosity we love to see in a sportsbook.
The casino at SportsBook.com is comparable to their competition, and may even be a bit more user-friendly. The casino section links directly with your main account (as does poker), so it is very easy to play a couple hands of blackjack on the fly with a $1 minimum bet per hand. The poker section is quite easy to understand as well.
The design of SportsBook.com is very easy to maneuver, with sections labeled clearly on the top. There is a slight issue with the login process, as sometimes it doesn’t take, but other than that… they definitely checks out on its #1 sportsbook rating. If you are new to sports betting on the internet, the bonuses and incentives at SportsBook.com may just give you the edge you desire.
