Lots of betting features.
Payout issues.
Sportsbook.com is one of the more attractive sportsbooks on the Internet today and signing up for an account is very easy. Bets are simple to make and they offer many betting features, especially futures, for many sports. The one main problem that many people have is their payout issues, but that is the main complaints with most sportsbooks. However, I did not have much of a problem. Sportsbook.com does not have the biggest sign-up bonus, as it is only 10% of your initial deposit, but that was good for me because I did not deposit a lot of cash. They offer the 10% no matter how much you deposit. They do have 24/7 customer support with Live Chat, but I used the Live Chat and they were not that helpful and their English was not good. I liked the promotions they offer, especially for MLB. It is simple to know the rules for every single sport they offer odds on through the House Rules link. This was good, as I wanted to know exactly what I was getting into when I made a MLB proposition bet. I did like their odds variety with all the betting options they offer. I was skeptical at first to deposit at Sportsbook.com because there are many forum posts that do not paint a pretty picture of them, in terms of their withdrawal issues. They do offer many deposit and withdrawal options, but I suggest using a credit card since they charge no fees. High rollers may want to be wary, as I have read many reviews on the months it takes to get significant withdrawals. The minimum withdrawal amount is $50. They even state on their site, “The timeframe for you to receive your payouts will vary depending on the method selected and current number of requests. While we work to have your payments processed as quickly as possible, some may take longer than specified.” That is not a good thing. Again, STICK TO USING CREDIT CARDS! Overall, I found Sportsbook.com to be a legit sportsbook, but if you play with a significant amount of money you may want to look elsewhere.

Easy betting interface
Not for High Rollers
I found Sportsbook.com to be a good sportsbook to bet with, but it may not be for high rollers. There have been many complains on getting significant withdrawals in a timely manner. Their betting interface is simple and they offer huge odds variety in many sports. I would definitely suggest using credit cards for deposits and withdrawals. I liked the 10% sign up bonus, as it is no the biggest on the Net today, but they offer it no matter how much you deposit.
