Sportsbook Review: SportsBetting.com
Written April 24, 2009 by Jack Jones
Deposits: The most simple method to fund an account is by depositing with a credit card. They accept both Visa and MasterCard, and all funds deposited are available to wager withing minutes of the transaction. Their minimum deposit is $20 and they have limits of 5 deposits per day, $2,000 per day, and $6,000 per month, though you can request a limit increase by contacting their customer service via telephone. They also list a phone deposit option and a money transfer option, but both of these methods requiring calling their customer service line, and it’s unclear what the difference between these options are. If you are looking to deposit with your credit/debit card, this site will be a good fit for you, however, if you are looking to use a 3rd party payment processor like MoneyBookers or UseMyWallet, you will not find that option with SportsBetting.com.
Withdrawals: The quickest way to get your winnings from your SportsBetting.com account is to use a bank wire, but you’ll unfortunately still have to wait up to 7 days for the funds to appear in your account. SportsBetting.com will reimburse you for any fees (up to $50) you make receive from you bank, but only if you withdrawal $200 or more, and only on your first withdrawal of each month. Your other option to get paid is through a cashier’s check, where the book will simply send you a check for your funds. This method takes between 7 and 10 business days (regular mailing time), and you should note that they will not deliver to P.O. boxes.
Customer Service: SportsBetting.com offers toll-free phone support, live online chat support, as well as e-mail support, though I did find it a little more confusing to find the live chat than it should be. They have a pretty solid FAQ/Self-Help page, but your best option is probably going to be contacting them via telephone if you have any problems with your account.
Bonuses & Promotions: You’ll get a 10% bonus on your initial deposit to the site, which is pretty standard across the industry. You can also earn a 5% bonus any time you deposit to your account, as long as you do it on a Thursday, an odd, but useful bonus. If you like to bet on the NFL early in the week, SportsBetting.com gives you reduced juice (-105 instead of -110) on all NFL bets placed on Fridays. Again, this is a bit of a different promotion, but one you can definitely take advantage of.
