Sportnation tricks and tactics they use to scam you out of your money .Here is my story. On Aug 27 I opened an account with them ,made a deposit via Interac for $200 got match bonus $200 so started playing with $400 .In just 4-5 days I completed the roll over and continued to play with them. By Sep 14 I increased my balance to just above $1400 and requested withdrawal for $1000. Money got deducted right away ,happy me waiting for my money .Interac withdrawals usually take 9h to 48h ,myself never had to wait for more than 30 . Few days goes by, nothing happening ,checked my account Reference ID/Document ID 76961250584 / 42320681290 14 Sep, 2021 | 17:25 Withdrawal request (interac) -1000.00 CAD . Normally with every book using Interac you get continuous updates through Gigadat that they got your request for the money transfer ,money transfer processed and so on ,funds have been credited to your account .
Well shit happens so on the Sep 18 i shoot them an email

Got no reply . Not a big deal ,I did my research before depositing the book is legit .Was I ever wrong about that .
On the 20th I emailed again (through the system) the same wording . Again no reply.Hmmm something is not right let me check the reviews again .
You can find a full review on them by googling "Read Customer Service Reviews of sportnation Trustpilot" . To save your time use filters to read bad reviews. I agree with the majority of them .
Rated 3.5 stars with 1,657 Reviews . First red flag: the # of reviews extremely high . A lot of good reviews on how slick and easy this site to use with great odds and fast withdrawals . The odds are actually below average. It is a betconstruct book and also crushes from time to time.
On page 2 I found an explanation for so-called good reviews .Sportnation pays its customers with free spins to leave a good review .They even admitted that .
Nice try .Reputable sportsbooks hire companies to do the survey for them. 50 Free spins if you email them a link to your review on trustpilot .LOL
Tons of fake reviews.As I am going through the pages ,I find similar complaints as I am experiencing right now . If you wanna make a withdrawal for a decent amount of money CS is non existent and they don't reply to your emails ,that is the step 1 ,step 2 after you start threatening them with Gambling Commission and IBAS they will freeze your account and will make you jump through the hoops(KYC all over again +your DNA source of income and high school diploma bank statements selfies and so on) if you are lucky in about 3 to 6 months you should get paid but you will need 3ed party to get involved .
One other thing about this sportsbook ,you know how some books use dual lines and limit your wagers ,these guys have gone even further they use some sort of algorithm ,let's say you bet Yankees game for $50 H+R+E and you win ,then you wanna bet Dodgers game for $50 H+R+E ,system will block your wager and will offer you $4 limit .same for the totals ,yellow cards, corners and so on .Every bet you make pregame you are on 1 to 2 min delay . At first I thought the site is slow but even betting EPL and WC EU qualifiers 1X2 , MLB sides or anything for that matter you are on the delay .System access your profile reads all your patterns and decides on how much they should allow to bet ,even if you bet all major leagues your stake can be limited to $5 max .
To sum it up these guys make Mybookie look like a bunch of amateurs .When you wanna get paid they don't even bother to reply . I will file complain later this week . Thing is after reading complains about the payouts there is no speed up process with them , they will hold on to your money for as long as they can . Sh@t I thought I was too smart not to get scammed ,but those low life paid posters with their free spins @@@@up .

Carlos Santos2 reviewsGB1 star: BadAug. 23, 2021Avoid if you dont like me screwed overReason for sudden increase in reviews today is they emailed customers to leave a review for free spins.However if you want a bookie where you can place sports bets dont bother and know that your account will be restricted to a max bet of 0.01p without notice. Worst part is i didn't even win a bet and they still took the money and stake limited me. Tbh if you're gonna screw me, at least give me a chance. Avoid at all costs, better off sticking with a reputable bookie if you don't want to be hamstrung by a company who don't give you a chance to win your money back.
Reply from SportNationAug. 23, 2021Hi Carlos,Thanks for taking the time to leave a review.It's no secret that we regularly offer customers Free Spins in return for an honest Trustpilot review. The negative feedback is actually more important than the positive reviews as this gives us a great insight into the areas in which we can improve.I'm sorry to hear that your account has been stake factored. It is our policy to restrict customers that are actively abusing our promotions. We strongly discourage the use of matched betting sites, something I know you're very familiar with.ThanksSportNation Team

7 reviews below mine all saying how wonderful they are?? I'm guessing few spins on the slots were offered for those. I got offered spins on roos riches but declined.
Do you really want to do business with a company that has to resort to bribes for reviews and who will restrict you without notice after a small win.This is the bottom end of the food chain with bookies...its your money your choice
Mr Lee Hammond3 reviewsGB1 star: BadMay 26, 2021Total scamTotal scam. They've stolen £1,489 of my money. Suspension of account. No means to communicate and they ignore emails. They froze my funds a month ago. I've sent all documents and they've ignored me. Not sure what I can do next. Do not use this fraudulent company.
