I noticed that SBR has initiated a C rating for these books. Who are they? Are they US friendly? Does SBR have some background on them that they can share?

Why? What's your beef with them?Comment -
I have used them recently without a problem. I am curious what problems others had?Comment -
Sometimes it takes a while to get a withdrawal, but I've always gotten it in the end. Guess they ain't in a hurry to payout...Comment -
From what I know they draw allot of interest for the table games, i guess you can get no house edge games and low limits, thinking bets start at a penny. I've never seen anything about no pay, but have no personal experience with them. Not sure they take players from US.Comment -
Their casino is good but their sportsbook has some issues.

Mainly liquidity sucks!Comment -
That's the double-edged sword. For the big books, like the betfairs of the world, you get all the liquidity iyou want, yet you'll pay through the wazoo for commission. The smaller books, like this one, have good rates, but poor volume. So you basically get jacked either way.Comment -
Has anyone tried Betliner? they are now offering Leveraged Betting, I have never tried Leveraged Betting seems complicated
Comment -
Yes, I did. It's a little bit of a misnomer. It sounds like credit, but it's not. It just means you can offer bets above your limit on different events. But you still can't exceed your deposit.Comment -
I'm going to register today.
(just the site back online)
Comment -
So were you able to register? Did you try leveraged betting?Comment -
Anyone using these? how does the 7% interest work?Comment -
To me the payment of 7%+ interest on balances rings alarm bells.
Why do they need to do that, particularly at such an attractive rate?
Could it be that they are an under-funded operation and need to raise finance like this from players?
I for one am not prepared to make an unsecured loan to a relative start up operation even for that sort of interest.Comment -
Just a different marketing ploy I guess. Also stops people withdrawing quickly so your are more likely to stay in the book and play. I take your point though Hareeba......but would you depsoit money in any new book (say one that offered an OK bonus and average rollover but no interest)?Comment -
The only other book I can remember that offered interest was Goldvictory....Comment -
indeed, books wth interest are rather rare. whether it´s just marketing or not, as long as funds are seperate from deposits, everything should be okay i guess
don´t really have any experience with the site, but i´ll give it a try later this week, let´s see what happens....Comment -

ffs another one post wonder pops out of nowhere apparently having signed up specifically to ask yet another question about this place. i wonder what's going on here
Comment -
I honestly don't know but I'm not prepared to risk it at this stage with so many unknowns about the place.
Maybe if they start offering better odds than Betfair, Pinnacle,, Matcbhook, SBO and 188Bet I may have another think but in the meantime I don't seen enough to entice me to risk it.Comment -
I'm registered from january.
I have use only Betliner (not the others) and I have noted 3 things:
- Interface not so friendly
- poor liquidity, so you have problem to catch good quotes
+ 7% of interest on the money deposited, good
In this moment I prefer to use other books.Last edited by the_mathman; 03-14-11, 03:36 PM.Comment -

I don't know first hand about the sportsbook but if the casino is any indication, liquidity or not, they are professionals or at least the give a hoot about their operation. No fly by night here. The only online RNG casino in the whole industry that incorporates SHA256 Checksum: a Secure Hash Algorithm which in purpose allows you to go back and audit the RNG outcome whether its roulette numbers, dice throws, card sequences, etc., by comparing it against a predetermined batch of outcome formulated before actual play using an independent site that specializes in hash code authentication. Basically, you test to prove that their are no real time manipulating or cheating algorithm. You can "demo" the games along with tutorial till your satisfied without signing up as well.
It is almost a travesty that relatively no one seems to know about their operation, their casino is high end stuff compared to the generic mass licensed software used for most bookies (CXTM I believe). All in house proprietary software.
If they go out of there way for that kind of transparency, I would think they would carry the same mindset onto their poker and sports betting counterparts.
I'd say A for professionalism; C+/B- for liquidity only because they are relatively new (2008) and they don't participate in affiliate marketing at all which is a shame really.Last edited by geist; 04-08-11, 05:03 PM.Comment -
Smart on their part but if you are smart as well then budget yourself and let that earn for you instead of playing it; two came play at this game. Kind of straining to find some negative when there really isn't any there. The issue is they still are brand new with barely anyone having first hand experiences. By they way, their website is one of the more aesthetically pleasing and user friendly I had come across in awhile.Comment -
