BetDSI Sportsbook Review
BetDSI or Diamond Sportsbook International celebrated their 12th year in business in 2010 and they look poised continue to do business for many years to come. BetDSI may be a name you haven’t heard of before, but don’t let that fool you. This is one of the better online sportsbooks in the industry, they just haven’t been as aggressive in their marketing department as some of the other top books on this site. They don’t compromise on quality though, we found this to be one of easiest sportsbooks to fund and withdraw from. It looks like they’ve invested in several payment processing options in lieu of marketing, which is really a plus for their players.
Payout Speed (4.5/5)
This book offers plenty of options to get your money out of your account. They use many of the standard methods including instant checks person to person transactions. They types of payouts are available at most books and take around 7-10 business days. If have an account with MoneyBookers you may be able to get your payout even faster. It’s nice that they have most of the options that the other books have, plus a quicker option should you want to open and fund an account through MoneyBookers. Be sure to check their payout methods often (something you should check at ALL sportsbooks!))as some do not accept US customers and the processors may change, as well as fees and turnaround times.

Sports Interaction Review
Sports Interaction has shot to the top of our list based on several key criteria. They have started to offer more aggressive bonus offers, they typically have great lines, and they have recently re-established themselves as one of the more reliable sportsbooks in the industry. In business since 1997, Sports Interaction was a relatively unknown book to start, but a good marketing campaign, coupled with vast improvements in customer service and payout reliability have catapulted them to a higher status. Sports Interaction has successfully re-invented their brand, and we are happy to endorse them as one of the top choices for online wagering today.
Payout Speed (4/5)
Payouts with any online sportsbook these days isn’t exactly a streamlined endeavor, however, Sports Interaction makes the process as painless as possible. They have three primary methods of to make a withdraw, all with varying processing times. Certified checks are the most popular option, but you’ll have to wait for the mail and processing times will vary based on where you live. Bank wires are a quicker option, taking approximately 3 days to hit your account, but you will need to provide the neccessary paper work to push it through. Our favorite option is the eCheck, which requires very little paperwork and has the funds deposited directly into your bank account in about seven days. It’s not perfect, but you should find that one of these options will work for you. Read more >>
Bodog Sportsbook Review
Bodog was established back in 1995, but it wasn’t until fairly recently that they have grown into one of the most popular destinations for online wagering. Bodog has been expanding their brand into other areas of entertainment, but it all starts with the sportsbook, where they have created one of the better sites in the industry. It’s user friendly interface and impressive and underdog lines that are tough to beat make it a solid choice for those that are new to sports betting as well as experienced bettors.
Payout Speed (4.5/5)
Getting your payout from Bodog is relatively simple. The most common way to accomplish this is to use a check by courier (usually FedEx) which typically takes between 4 and 7 business days. Bank wires are also an option, however, they may take 5-10 business days to process. Considering that many online sportsbooks are struggling to get payments out within 3-4 weeks, I give Bodog good marks for their payout speed. Read more >>
5Dimes Sportsbook Review
In business since 1998, 5Dimes sportsbook ranks among the favorites for high-dollar players. They offer extremely competitive lines, including what we’ve found to be the best baseball odds in the business. This book offers some decent bonuses from time to time, but I am not overly impressed with their overall bonus program. Much like some of the other older books, they can rely a little more on their reputation, so you won’t find them being very aggressive with targeting new players. Don’t let that detract you, however, because the money you can make up with better lines (particularly in baseball, where they offer 5 cent overnight lines) is worth as much or more than a good initial bonus.

Payout Speed (4/5)
The payout system at 5Dimes is on par with most online sportsbooks in terms of the options you have at your disposal, but they lose a point from me because they don’t make it especially easy to request your payout. This is of course an increasing problem in the industry because of stricter regulations on banks, but I would like to see them implement better software for the requests. Read more >>
Bookmaker Sportsbook Review
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. Read more >>
Sportsbook.com Review
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 Sportsbook Review
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. Read more >>
