When you deposit money on sportsbook.com they take the funds out of your acct immediately! however; when you want to withdrawl money from the site they make you wait over 2 months to get paid. they will send you a message stating your withdrawl has been processed after about 1-2 weeks. after approximately 2 weeks they will send you another email stating that your check has been processed. about 1 month later you will recieve another email stating that your withdrawl has been processed and you will recieve it in 10 days! they will then charge you $40.00 for this! the minimum cash out request is $500! i would recommend that anyone interested in playing poker online uses pokerstars or fulltilt where you will recieve your funds within 4-6 days!! there will be no charge from fulltilt or pokerstarsor this service and you may withdrawl as little as $50. if you decide to use sportsbook.com you have just decided to freeze up your funds for quite some time!! sportsbook.com is a joke of a poker site!!! they are fast to take your money but they dont have any desire to pay you until they feel good and ready! DO NOT MAKE ANY DEPOSITS ON SPORTSBOOK.COM!!!!!!!!!!

While it does take time for sportsbook.com to process checks I have always received them free of charge via FedEx once a month. The time it takes is hit or miss. Sometimes its within a week, sometimes it does take up to 6 weeks but you can thank George Bush for that. With the passing of the new laws it is hard for sportsbooks to find banks that will process their checks. They are constantly working to find new banks that will accomodate them. I don't think sportsbook.com intentionally holds payment, it just takes time to find banks to cut their checks. This will happen as an online gambling site becomes bigger and bigger as the watchdogs watch them more closely.

I did - it took about 13 weeks but they sent a check and it cleared. the book is way to big to re nig on payment. I do wish they would add some other payment options tho as 2 1/2 months is way to long.

you are blaming George Bush! haha, you worthless idiot... Anyway I was also scammed by sportsbook.com, with a click of a mouse you can deposit money but to get a withraw from them you have to send picture ID, water billl that shows residence and after that you still might not get your money. To deposit money nothing needs to be done... HUGE SCAM, Stay away!!!

Fuck sports book. I won 600 dollars on their by playing poker and making bets, and when i tried to cash out they wouldn let me. So then I played my friend heads up and eventually lost all my money to him. We messed around thinking either way one of us would eventually get the money. The next day both our accounts were disabled, they claimed I was chip dumping, and I never saw a penny. What a fucking joke.

"Chip Dumping" - what's the definition of this anyway? Surely if I want to give away all my chips to someone I can?

Trash sportsbook. I have been trying for 3 weeks to "qualify for a right to withdraw funds. To no avail. It is obvious that they will try to wear you down and that you will finally give up. Not me. I have promised themthat i and my friends will do scam bloggs until my withdrawal right is established. I will not place a bet during this period. BIlly Tucker
