Bookmaker is one of the leaders in the online sportsbook business. They’ve been around as long as anyone (established in 1985) and have been consistently one of the most reliable sites in the industry. My biggest gripe is that they simply don’t do a lot with their bonuses. You will get a little something for funding your account, and a little something for reloading them, but they’ve certainly never “wowed” me with any of their bonus offers. You get the feeling that they aren’t too hard up for players, so they aren’t going to bend over backwards just to get you to sign up. In short, great reliability, but lacking in bonuses.
Payout Speed (5/5): As far as getting cashed out of your account, Bookmaker is one of the tops in the industry in getting you your money. Keep in mind that “fast” in terms of cashing out of an online sportsbook is a relative term. Do not expect your money same-day, but the standard 7-10 business days for a check via Fedex is about as good as it gets unless you fill out the paperwork to request a bank wire. Continue Reading »
Sportsbook.com is one of the most recognized names in sports betting on the Internet today. The biggest complaint about them has been that the payout speed is inconsistent. They have improved in this aspect over the past couple of years, but it is still their biggest flaw. Overall the site offers a ton of exotic wagering options on top of the standard ones you see everywhere else. If you are into prop betting, I would definitely recommend signing up for an account here as they have the most options I have seen so far.
Payout Speed (3/5): Like I said, we have have reports of some delays here, but nothing too serious. I definitely understand how frustrating it can be to cash out of a book and have to wait weeks or months before you get your funds, but since this is the exception and not the rule, I’m willing to give them about an average rating here.

BetUS is quickly becoming one of the top online sportsbooks in the industry. What we’ve found is that they offer some of the best initial sign up bonuses in the business. They offer a wide variety of betting options for their players and, compared to other offshore books, they provide plenty of deposit and withdraw options to make it pretty easy to get your money in and out with minimal hassles. By and large they’ve had very few complaints and they continue to be in excellent financial standing, meaning they are not going to close up shop or keep your winnings.
Payout Speed (4.5/5): We’ve found this book’s payout speed to be on par or better than the rest of the sportsbook industry. It has gotten harder over the past few years for books to get the money to players, but given the limited options they do have to pay you, BetUS delivers well on this aspect. Continue Reading »
