I've been on this site for many years, not a frequent visitor yet a member nonetheless.

During that time, SBR always promoted a bunch of online accounts as their 'top A rated choices' - like Bookmaker and Bovada.

Now those top spots are reserved for the big name domestic US run sites and BM and Bovada now have D- ratings? Does that seem weird to anyone?

Can anyone think of any reason why these previous A rated sites would lose favor so quickly from a rating perspective? Perhaps I missed something somewhere...

Bovada and Bookmaker are not D- rated. Where are you seeing that?

Neither are rated at all that I see https://www.sportsbookreview.com/betting-sites/

Only mainstream licensed books are being rated by SBR now.

And a new experienced person is re-doing every sportsbook's review and rating right now. if you check them out they are very much from a players perspective and quite critical in places. No book has been rated above a B as yet. It's a big job to do properly.

He tells me a lot more useful info is coming too. Some metrics that you will not have seen anywhere else before and some that will be very attractive to serious bettors.

I will grade Bovada for you. F-. They told me a blatant lie in live chat two days ago. I am pissed about it. I emailed them and they are not capable of sending anything but a form letter back. I am Hall of Fame player and get treated like a red headed step child

are you able to say what happened?

**MT Casings** · 01-27-22, 04:34 AM

Sure. Very simple. I had an issue with cash back. The wrong amount was given. This is not the first time it’s happened. I was getting the run around in live chat. I asked for a Supervisor. Response: None on site at this time. I say ok, you solve it then. Response about 90 seconds later. The numbers are correct, I just went over them with two Supervisors. So basically the live chat agent directly contradicted herself with a blatant lie. So Gold, Bovada will lie to you and is an F-

This is why SBR is useless now, they use to keep a check on the so called reputable books now they have no one to fear and can easily not pay out large winners, well all the losers and small time winners it goes unnoticed.

Still trying to help any SBR users privately with any sort of book issue if I possibly can. And if I can't, I show them how to deal with it themselves or send them to someone who can help them.

You just assume we are classless and have no honor, as you KNOW that is how you would act in this situation. But you are wrong about SBR.

I think SBR has some value. Players can still exchange info and ideas. I don’t understand why SBR can provide reviews/ratings in both offshore and legal books. By the way, Bovada F-

Where is the go-to discussion place for offshore sportsbooks now?

They are not rated F-.

But I see what you are talking about now.

Every book who had it's review removed pending re-doing has turned up on the Avoid/Blacklist page.

I will have that addressed ASAP.

Bad error.

I'd ignore him. He's the guy who came in guns blazing saying WagerWeb was a scam because they wanted to perform KYC. He seems to have a shitty, loser attitude about everything.

Thanks Opti. We differ on Bovada a whole bunch. They’ve acknowledged the lie stating they have a lot new associates. I just don’t appreciate being lied to. It was a failure on their part. Sometimes when you fail, it cost you. They do a lot of things well. One small mistake like this, negates all the good for me.
