Sportsbook.com Giving the run around on withdrawals, Internet

"I will not use sportsbook.com from here on out and will switch to another site. There are enough legit sites out there that do good business to bother with this."

 Really? How do you know they are legitimate? For that matter, what constitutes legitimate? You yourself used this particular site for 5 years and didn't discover the deal until now.

 Bottom line. No offshore gambling site has to pay you anything. They can take your money and there's nothing you can do about it but complain on sites like these. Since they are offshore and unregulated, you have zero recourse if they decide not to pay up. As you discovered, most of them will pay out small amounts, but good luck getting any serious money out of them.

 Handing hard earned money over to an unregulated, offshore gambling site is for suckers. You know they don't have to pay if they don't want to and there's not a thing you can do about it. That applies to all offshore gambling sites. Don't be fooled that just because they're popular that they're legit. The same rules (or rather lack of rules) apply to all of them.
