Avoid These Offshore Betting Sites

Unfortunately, as in any fledgling industry, there will always be a number of bad apples. The good news is, we’re working hard to expose the scammers and crooks in the offshore sports betting business. Here you’ll find a virtual Rogue’s Gallery - shops for which our research has revealed numerous reports of no pay, slow pay, and outright thievery. DO NOT SEND YOUR MONEY TO THESE SPORTSBOOKS ... you have been warned.

Another of the WorldGaming/EFS Caribbean jokers. AVOID

0 Online Sportsbook
http://www.0-online-sportsbook.com
Poor quality site. Unclear as to ownership and location. They like to sleep late as their site claims that wagering and customer service doesn’t open until almost 10:00 AM on Sundays!

1 Casino
http://www.1casino.net
What a joke! Claims to be accredited by “MatchMyBet” and “WeRankCasinos” – both of which, suspiciously enough, have websites hosted on the same server as the sportsbook. Smells fishy!

1 Lucky Gambler
http://www.1luckygambler.com
Another of the WorldGaming / StarNet / EFS Caribbean cheaters. AVOID like the plague.

100k Casino
http://www.100kcasino.com
Some reports of slow pay. StarNet / WorldGaming licensee. Best to avoid any association with this company.

1 On 1 Football Sports Betting
http://www.1on1footballsportsbetting.com
Don’t bet on these folks staying around. Their site provides little or no company information. Who are these people?

#1 Sportbetting Sportsbook
http://www.1sportbettingsportsbook.com
Another StarNet / WorldGaming site. Avoid this company at all costs.

#1 Sportbook
http://www.1sportbook.com
No idea who these people are. Apparently another CyberSportsbook clone but who knows. They certainly don’t tell us who they are on their site. AVOID

1st American Sportsbook
http://www.1stamericansportsbook.com
Should be LAST on your list. WorldGaming site equals slow pay, no pay, serious financial stability issues. AVOID

1st Avenue Sports Betting
http://www.1stavenuesportsbetting.com
Another false front site (or clone) for someone else’s sportsbook … but they’re not telling us much of anything related to their company. AVOID

Exact replica of 1st Avenue Sports Betting (above). Do not risk playing at either of these sites.

1st Down Sports Betting
http://www.1stdownsportsbetting.com
It’s TRIPLETS. Yet a third clone of the above two web sites. Stay away.

1st Lines Sportsbook
http://www.1stlines.com
Who are they? Where are they located? Why would they build such an ugly site? They’re not saying. We say, stay away!

2003 Betting Sports Book

A JC Capitals site with servers in Costa Rica. Numerous reports of slow pay and no pay. Financial instability. AVOID

7 Palms
http://www.7palms.com

Detailed Report >>

88sportsbetting
www http://www.88sportsbetting.com
A permutation of the Cybersportbook scammers. Another JC Capitals site that should be avoided at all costs.

Aaron’s Sports Bet
http://www.aaronssportsbet.com
Another WorldGaming / StarNet clone. AVOID all such licensees.

Absolute Sports Betting
http://www.absolutesportsbetting.com
A Sinsational / Cybersportbook clone. Past association with StarNet / WorldGaming leaves us leery of this book.

Aces Casino
http://www.acescasino.net
False front for Sportingbet. The WorldGaming logo on this site tells us everything we need to know: “Stay Away!”

Advantage Sports Betting
http://www.advantagesportsbetting.com
Another Sinsational / Cybersportsbook false front. If you value getting paid, then avoid this and all related books.

AE Bet
http://www.aebet.com
Reports of slow pay and no pay on this Belize-based book. Better and safer places to play.

Aloha Casino & Sportsbook
http://www.alohacasino.com
Our biggest problems with this family of Unified Gaming sites is the larger than average number of slow pay, no pay complaints we’ve seen. In fact, Aloha was involved in a no pay, slow pay dispute involving a woman who won a $60K+ jackpot on their site. However, they had the audacity to cover their homepage with huge graphics exploiting the big jackpot win, while behind the scenes they failed to pay for some two months or longer. Also, a couple of years ago, Aloha Casino and several others under the same umbrella were involved in a lawsuit brought forth by the state of New Jersey with regards to billboard advertising in that state. No big deal other than the site now claims to bar New Jersey citizens from playing.

All Bet Sportsbook
http://www.allbetsportsbook.com
Crooks. StarNet / WorldGaming. AVOID. Say no more.

All Pro
http://www.allprosportsbook.com
False front for Sportingbet. The WorldGaming logo on this site tells us to “Stay Away!”

All Sports Casino
http://www.allsportscasino.com
When we see the words EFS Caribbean and StarNet on a site, we tell folks to RUN! No exceptions here.

All Star Sportsbook
http://www.allstarsportsbook.com
EFS Caribbean / StarNet clone. AVOID this and all similar sites.

Apex Sportsbook
http://www.apexsportsbook.com
Most Costa Rican books cannot be recommended at this time due to uncertain regulatory climate in that country. And, we hear hints of possible financial issues with this book.

At Home Sportsbook
http://www.athomesportsbook.com
Yet another Starnet / WorldGaming book operating under the Sportingbet umbrella. We cannot recommend this family of books.

Aztec Gaming
http://www.aztecgaming.com
Too bad. So sad. Another WorldGaming property. Avoid these scammers at all cost!

Baccarat Casino
http://www.baccaratcasino.com
A FutureBet site that still suffers from past association with WorldGaming. Numerous reports of slow pay issues.

BC Bets – British Caribbean Sports
http://www.bcbets.com
Costa Rican site under the CRIS umbrella. Uncertain regulatory and financial climate in that country make it hard to recommend any Costa Rica operators at this time.

Belmont Casino
http://www.belmontcasino.com
StarNet. WorldGaming. Crooks. Avoid.

BestLine Sports International
http://www.bestlinesports.com
Costa Rica location prohibits us from recommending this book due to uncertain regulatory and financial climate in that country. Some reports of bonus scams.

BetaBet
http://tyson.betabet.com
BetOnSports clone. Past payout problems. Being under the BOS umbrella is a negative, as are several reports of slow pay / no pay. Spending big money on advertising does not necessarily mean they can be trusted.

BetAndWin.com (BAW Intn’l)
http://www.betandwin.com
Rumors that US players are being excluded, as well as reports of bad limits and financial problems make us steer clear of these guys.

Bet Bet
http://www.betbet.com
Associated with Sinsational / Cybersportbook. Past affiliation with StarNet / WorldGaming. Stay away!

BetCom
http://www.betcom.com
Grand Central Sports clone. Costa Rica based. Reports of slow pay and bonus scams. AVOID

BetEuro Sportsbook
http://www.beteurosport.com
Broken graphics and extremely slow site are immediate turn offs. Costa Rican book. We can’t recommend many CR books due to that country’s uncertain political climate with regards to the gaming industry.

BetInternet
http://www.betinternet.com
Claims Interactive Gaming Council membership but not found on IGC site. No fixed odds wagers on sports are offered to American citizens.

Bet Jerrys
http://www.betjerrys.com
When a site fails to provide any company information and/or continues to maintain an amateur looking site, we cannot give them our recommendation.

Bet New York Sportsbook
http://sportsbook.betnewyork.com
A FutureBet site that continues to suffer from past association with WorldGaming. Numerous reports of slow pay with this family of sites.

Betting Express
http://www.bettingexpres.com
One of several mirror sites that are taking advantage of misspelled domains names of other popular books to get traffic. Not very professional and we don’t recommend them. Besides, when they LOOK like WorldGaming and SMELL like WorldGaming, you can bet on getting screwed!

Betting On Sports
http://www.bettingonsports.net
Avoid all such JC Capitals sites. Interestingly, this site claims to be located on the “island” of Costa Rica in the “Eastern Caribbean.” Hmmm.

BetOnSports
http://www.betonsports.com
AVOID! Numerous reports of slow pay / no pay. Spending big money on advertising does not necessarily mean these scammers can be trusted.

BetQuick
http://www.betquick.com
LEAVE QUICK! These guys generate traffic from misspellings based on the Don Best URL. What a joke. Unprofessional marketing tactics = an unprofessional company. Take your action elsewhere.

BetSense
http://www.betsense.com
Makes NO SENSE to play at this amateurish looking book. Serious complaints regarding payout policies and procedures. Steer clear.

Bet Royal
http://www.betroyal.com
Rarely have we seen a good book fall so far so fast. At one time a book on top of everyone’s list, Royal’s rumored financial problems and the high degree of controversy surrounding this shop are enough to scare us away right now. UPDATE 9/22/03: Royal has recently added the follwoing to their Terms and Conditions: If a member’s account remains unused for a period of twelve months, the company reserves the right to close the account and assume ownership of any and all outstanding balance left in the account.

Black Banana Casino
http://www.blackbananacasino.com
One of the FutureBet family of sites and, like the rest, plagued by numerous reports of slow pay. Don’t get involved if you don’t have to. Who would send money to a site called the “Black Banana” anyway?

Blockbuster Bets
http://www.blockbusterbets.com
Nah … why bother. Just another of the apparently infinite number of sportsbook clones all offering the same stuff under different names. Costa Rica location is not preferred.

Blue Grass Sports
http://www.betbg.com
Despite well-placed advertising and industry “endorsements”, this book carries our current admonishment to STAY OUT OF COSTA RICA.

BML Sports
http://www.bmlsports.com
Proudly display the Internet Gaming Commission logo on their front page. However, the BML Sportsbook bulletin board on the Internet Gaming Commission site is packed with slow pay and no play complaints. Guess they ain’t real smart either.
Detailed Report >>

Bubba’s Casino
http://www.bubbascasino.com
Whatever! I guess this is supposed to be a Bubba Smith endorsed sportsbook. It’s definitely a StarNet-related site and that simply means RUN!

Bet Buckeye
http://www.betbuckeyesports.com
Who and where? They’re not making that information easy to find … perhaps we’ll try their posted mailing address in Miami. Either way, their recent server and security problems are enough to keep us away.

Carib
http://www.caribsports.com
Recent busts and asset confiscation of Carib principals by US federal agents forces us to place this book on our AVOID list until further notice.

Casablanca Sportsbook
http://www.betcbs.com
Recent complaints of bad faith dealings in regards to posted odds and located in the unstable regulatory climate that is Costa Rica places this book squarely in the AVOID column.

Cash Point Sportswetten
http://www.cash-point.cc
Austrian book that looks to be geared heavily towards European sports. Hard to tell though as their website is virtually unusable. Looks like they put their graphic artist in charge of running the shop.

Casino Fever
http://www.casinofever.com
Another FutureBet site that will forever suffer from past relationships with WorldGaming / StarNet. Slow pays reported. AVOID

Casino King Tut
http://www.casinokingtut.com
King Tut is a licensee of King Scam – WorldGaming.net. AVOID this site.

Casino Titanic
http://www.casino-titanic.com
Oh My God! Why would you name an offshore casino after one of history’s biggest offshore disasters? If you’re a WorldGaming / StarNet licensee it makes perfect sense, because you’ll eventually sink to the bottom anyway. AVOID

Caviar Casino & Sportsbook
http://www.caviarcasino.com
Another of the various clone sites under the FutureBet umbrella. Nothing unique here and past associations with WorldGaming mean one thing: Stay Out!

Celebrities Sports Betting
http://www.celebritiessportsbook.com
Avoid all such JC Capitals sites. Reports that this family of sites (all with the same posted toll free number) is operating as a bunch of “deposit only” books. That means your money goes in but it doesn’t come out!

Classic Casino
http://www.classiccasino.com
FutureBet clone. Sites under this umbrella have been plagued recently by numerous reports of slow pay. Avoid this shop.

Club VIP Casino
http://www.clubvipcasino.com
NO. WorldGaming/StarNet site equals Slow Pay/No Pay. RUN AWAY FAST!

Cyber Sportsbook
http://www.cybersportsbook.com
Reports are that these folks have finally separated themselves from WorldGaming and StarNet … its debatable as to whether they escaped or were dumped. Either way, continued reports of horrible customer service, slow pay issues and outright no pay concerns place this book squarely on our list of sites to be AVOIDED.

Deluxe Casino & Sportsbook
http://www.deluxecasino.com
One of the family of FutureBet Gaming System sites plagued by ongoing reports of slow pay. Why take chances when there are better books?

DirecBet sportsbook
http://www.direcbet1.com
Costa Rica based book that was recently shut down by denial of service attacks. Security issues and CR’s unstable gaming policy make this a shop to AVOID.

Donbets
http://www.donbets.com
AVOID. Scammers using a misspelling of Don Best to redirect traffic to BetQuick.com. LOSERS!!!

Easybets
http://www.easybets.com
European licensed book operating out of Costa Rica. Numerous slow pay and no reports make it easy for us to say: “STAY AWAY.”

Eiffel Casino
http://www.eiffelcasino.com
Bonjour! What’s the French word for getting SCREWED? The Eiffel Casino and StarNet will do just that to you if you send them any money. AVOID

Enterbet Sportsbook & Casino
http://www.enterbet.com
An uncertain Costa Rican political and regulatory climate with regards to online gaming tends to steer us away from books such a this.

ESB – English Sports Betting
http://www.telebet.com
Say it ain’t so Jim McMahon! Slow pay. No pay. ESB – Telebet started sucking several years ago and they haven’t stopped since. AVOID.

EuroSportwetten
http://www.eurosportwetten.com
Sportingbet joint venture aimed heavily at the European sports audience. Limited local feedback on this shop. But, Sportingbet’s recent dealings with WorldGaming and StarNet are enough reason for us to RUN this book.

EZ Sportsbetting
http://www.ezsportsbetting.com
Another crooked JC Capitals sites. Multiple reports of slow pay and no pay. Looks like another deposit-only book. If you’re playing here, get out now if you can!

Fantasy Sportsbetting
http://www.fantasysportsbetting.net
Smell that? Yep, it’s the STINK coming off yet another WorldGaming / StarNet clone. AVOID

Flamingo Sportsbook and Casino
http://www.betflamingo.com
AVOID. Costa Rican book with BIG PROBLEMS. This guy is running his site by laptop and still takes post up money from people who don't know that’s he’s fired most of his employees. Lots of no pay reports.

Fonbet Bookmakers
http://www.fonbet.info
Russian book with several brick and mortar shops in that country. You really don’t want your money going to their online entity as they’ve not yet translated their land-based successes to the web.

Football Betting Point Spreads
http://www.footballbettingpointspreads.com
Look! Another clone site under the JC Capitals umbrella. Lots of slow and no pay reports. AVOID

Fortune Casino
http://www.88fortunecasino.com/
When will they learn that proclaiming their association with WorldGaming in bold letters on their web site is a BAD marketing decision? Avoid these crooks.

Gambler’s Bay
http://www.gamblersbay.com
Their front page proclaims them to be the web’s “most trusted casino.” However, it also identifies them as being under the FutureBet umbrella which totally contradicts the first statement. Slow pay, no pay. AVOID.

Gamblers Palace
http://www.gamblerspalace.com
Costa Rican book, but they don’t make that information easy to find by just digging around their website. Much better and safer places to play.

Gambling Place
http://www.gamblingplace.com
Based in Curacao – that’s a good thing. But, part of the FutureBet family – that’s a BAD thing, especially if you like getting paid.

Gambling VIP
http://www.gamblingvip.com
Merged with Linesmaker under the Sportingbet umbrella of sites. And, Sportingbet’s association with the WorldGaming crooks is enough to scare us away.

Gaming Village
http://www.gamingvillage.com
Okay, we’ve got problems with any book that does not readily provide their company information … what are they trying to hide? These guys do have an “About Us” link but that page is empty.

Getabet
http://www.getabet.com
Part of the Sportbet family of sites in the unstable gaming climate that is Costa Rica. That’s bad news in and of itself. But it gets worse with the higher than average number of slow pay reports we’ve seen on these books. Get a bet somewhere else.

Gibralter Sports
http://www.bettherock.com
Same as BetonSports. And, interestingly enough, both Gibralter and BOS are members of their own self-formed “watchdog” group (ISBC) that claims to be an “independent professional non-biased third party organization.” LIARS.

Global Sports Network
http://www.globalsportsnetwork.com
When it looks and smells like WorldGaming or StarNet, it’s probably not a good bet. These guys claim to be “independently” advised by GoBet International, but the GoBet site is registered to the same person – James Bond LOL - as the sportsbook site. Me thinks they’re hiding something.

Gold Betting
http://www.goldbetting.com
By all accounts, these folks have stopped paying. However, that hasn’t prevented them from continuing to accept deposits. Numerous reports of bad games, poor customer service, locked accounts, no pay, slow pay. AVOID THESE CROOKS!

Gold Medal Sports
http://www.goldmedalsports.com
Same as 7 Palms and Betmaker. Gold Medal’s past history of legal and financial problems with both the US and Curacao may be behind them. However, association with these other books and/or current Costa Rica locale places them in potential jeopardy.

GoTo Entertainment
http://www.gotocasino.com
Website design looks like a kindergarten class project. These guys operate from the same office location as many of the other Costa Rican books and, like their counterparts, they face an uncertain political and regulatory future in that country.

Greek Luck Casino & Sportsbook
http://www.greekluck.com
Display the Internet Gaming Commission logo on their site but no records of this casino are found on the IGC site … Hmmm. Same as FutureBet … reports of slow pay and no pay.

Hard Rock Casino
http://www.hardrockcasino.com
Doesn’t accept action from US players as per their terms and conditions: “You must not register or seek to register with hardrockcasino.com … if … you are located in … the USA” … ‘nuff said.

Heavens Gate Casino
http://www.heavensgatecasino.com
Redirects to Sportsbook USA – a FutureBet site. This family of sites has been plagued by slow pay reports dating back to their days of involvement with the WorldGaming crooks.

High Roller Casino
http://www.highrollercasino.com
One of several under the FutureBet umbrella. Past affiliation with WorldGaming and StarNet places all such books very low on our list.

HomeBets
http://www.homebets.com
Claims to be based out of Curacao but as of yet unable to verify that this is indeed the case. Reports of operating out Mexico or CR leave us a bit uneasy about these folks.

UPDATE 8/26/03: We are still unable to verify the location of this book, but it is becoming clearer that something isn't right. No hard evidence is available to prove their claim of being based in Curacao.

Home Town Casino
http://www.hometowncasino.com
Redirects to Sportsbook USA – a FutureBet site. This family of sites has been plagued by slow pay reports dating back to their days of involvement with the WorldGaming crooks.

Horizon International
http://www.playhorizon.com
They don’t provide any substantive company info on their site and they’re hiding all information related to their domain registration. Why? What else are they not telling us?

IBetCasino
http://www.ibetcasino.com
Part of the Sportbet family of sites in the unstable gaming climate that is Costa Rica. That’s bad news in and of itself. But it gets worse with the higher than average number of slow pay reports we’ve seen on these books. Same as GetABet and IslandCasino.

I-Casino
http://www.i-casino.com
WorldGaming, StarNet, Pirates, Crooks, Scammers, Thieves. Are these guys any different? Probably not.

Instant Action Sports
http://instantactionsports.com
Juvenile web site design and the lack of any real company information leave us with too many questions and concerns. You know what they say about first impressions.

Internet1x2
http://www.internet1x2.com
Same as Casino1x2 and Yahoops. All to be avoided for multiple slow pay complaints.

Island Casino
http://www.islandcasino.com
Part of the Sportbet family of sites in the unstable gaming climate that is Costa Rica. Also see a number of slow pay reports on these books. Same as IBetCasino and GetABet.

Jackpot7
http://www.jackpot7.com
Redirects to Sportsbook USA – a FutureBet site. This family of sites has been plagued by slow pay reports dating back to their days of involvement with the WorldGaming crooks.

JagBet
http://www.jagsportsbet.com
A “charter member” of the “International Sports Book Council” … one of the phoniest (and funniest!) fake watchdog organizations we’ve seen in a while. These folks are LIARS … and not very good ones either!

JetBets
www.jetbets.com
Supposedly a Costa Rica based operation, but you can’t tell that from their website. What we do know is that these guys are apparently run by the same folks operating an offshore service for local bookies in the Miami area. SCARY!

Kingdom Casino
http://www.kingdomcasino.com
Now powered by FutureBet, but they still have plenty of that WorldGaming/StarNet STINK leftover to keep me away forever.

King Sports Betting
http://www.kingssportsbetting.com
Alleged Costa Rican book (domain name registrant lists Haiti) that offers nothing to make me feel safe or comfortable playing here.

Las Palmas
http://www.betlaspalmas.com
Reports of software bugs and Costa Rica locale are enough to keep us away.

Las Vegas Offshore Sports Betting
http://www.lasvegasoffshoresportsbetting.com
A clone of several other identical sites all registered to the same guy in Vancouver. The game here looks to be: How many keyword-stuffed domain names can we register and spam the search engines with – all pointing to the exact same content?

Las Vegas Sports Betting
http://www.lasvegas-sports-betting.com
JC Capitals equals Sinsational equals Cybersportsbook equals WorldGaming equals StarNet equals Crooks. AVOID

Limelight Casino
http://www.limelightcasino.com
FutureBet site. Reports are that the same old slow pay, no pay problems that made WorldGaming and StarNet so infamous are now plaguing FutureBet shops. Steer clear.

LinesMaker
http://linesmaker.com
Under the Sportingbet umbrella of sites. And, Sportingbet’s association with the WorldGaming crooks is enough to keep us away.

Lionbet
http://www.lionbet.com
FutureBet site. Reports are that the same old problems that plagued WorldGaming and StarNet sites are now infecting FutureBet shops. AVOID.

LuckyDog Sports
http://www.luckydogsports.com
DOG yes. Lucky, NO. Numerous no pay reports. AVOID.

Macau Slot
http://www.macau-slot.com
Macau? And what’s with this website anyway? My 5-year-old’s coloring books look better than their web designer’s work. AVOID this shop.

Major Bet
http://www.majorbet.com
Yet another FutureBet site that still reeks of past association with WorldGaming. And, we have a problem with sites displaying gaming commission logos for organizations to which they apparently don’t belong. AVOID

Major Sports Betting
http://www.majorsportsbetting.com
Proudly displaying the “Powered by StarNet Systems” logo on their site. What marketing geniuses would decide to so boldly proclaim their affiliation with online gaming’s biggest and most notorious crooks? These idiots I guess.

Mango Bay Casino
http://www.mangobaycasino.com
FutureBet site. Reports are that the same old slow pay, no pay problems that made WorldGaming and StarNet so infamous are now plaguing FutureBet shops. Steer clear.

Maxi Sportsbook
http://www.maxisportsbook.com
Look like another FutureBet / WorldGaming / StarNet site. Boasts membership in the “Ethical Online Gaming Association” which is simply a phony “watchdog” organization established and operated by the FutureBet folks. Not so ethical, I’d say.

Mayan Casino & Sportsbook
http://sportsbook.mayancasino.com
Another of the many FutureBet clones that seem to have picked up where WorldGaming left off. Don’t give the Mayan a chance to RUIN ya!

Millennium
http://www.betmill.com
Same as BetOnSports, JagBet, MVP Sports and others. All members of the biggest scam “watchdog” site of all time, the International Sports Book Council. It’s operated by the same folks running the sportsbooks … LOL.

MorganBets
http://www.morganbets.com
Direct reports of customer being stiffed for several dimes. Servers possibly located in the UInited States. AVOID!

MrBookmaker
http://www.mrbookmaker.com
Euro-book. Apparently not intended for an American audience.

My Sportsbook
http://www.mysportsbook.com
StarNet / WorldGamingbook. That’s one strike. Marketing efforts include redirects from misspelling of popular “watchdog” site: “www.theperscription.com” … strike two. Numerous slow pay, no pay reports. Strike three.

NewWorld Casino & Sportsbook
http://www.newworldcasino.com
FutureBet site. Reports are that the same old slow pay, no pay problems that troubled WorldGaming and StarNet are now bothering FutureBet shops. AVOID.

OddsAlive
http://www.oddsalive.com
Site down on last visit.

Oddset Die Sportwette
http://www.oddset.de
European book with a horrible web page design (no scrolling allowed). Doesn’t matter much anyway as it appears that English-speaking players are not welcome.

Oddsmaker
http://www.oddsmaker.com
Another FutureBet-powered site. Reports are that the same old slow pay, no pay problems that troubled WorldGaming and StarNet are now plaguing FutureBet shops. AVOID.

Offshore Action
http://www.offshoreaction.com
Sister site of St. Kitts Casino with numerous slow pay no pay reports. Costa Rica locale is also a negative at this time.

Online Gamble
http://www.onlinegamble.com
Another FutureBet-family clone and you can still smell the WorldGaming / StarNet STINK on these books. AVOID.

Option Sports
http://www.optionsports.com
Yet another book that seems like they’re hiding something. We dare you to try to find company information on their website … in fact, they provide exactly ZERO info until after you’ve joined. We no likey!

Oz Gaming
http://www.ozgaming.com
Looks like StarNet. Stinks like StarNet. Good thing you’re not going to play there, right?

Pacific Casino & Sportsbook
http://www.pacificcasino.com
Another FutureBet-powered site. Reports are that the same old slow pay, no pay problems that troubled WorldGaming and StarNet are now plaguing FutureBet shops. AVOID.

Pacific Vegas Sportsbook
http://www.pvsportsbook.com
Operating out of the Commonwealth of Dominica in the West Indies, this site appears to be geared toward the European and Asian sports bettors. We’ve seen enough technical glitches with this site to scare us off.

Paddy Power Bookmaker
http://www.paddypower.com
Irish bookmaker. Apparently doesn’t accept US players.

PAF
http://www.paf.fi
Scandinavian cruise ship casino operator with a new online offering that appears to be unavailable to American players.

ParlayBook
http://www.parlaybook.com
A relatively new book under the MetaGalaxia umbrella. Questionable ethics surrounding misleading-advertising of a "50% Bonus" as well as under handed advertising techniques on Google leave us with a bad taste in our mouths about this book. And, why would a solid shop resort to copying Yahoo's style? Remember, quality sportsbooks do not need to resort to cheap marketing gimmicks!

Place My Bet
http://www.placemybet.com
Website proclaims that they have “taken in millions” since 1996. But, since they’re covered in the STINK that is WorldGaming / StarNet, one has to wonder if they’ve ever paid any money out. AVOID THESE CROOKS.

Planet Rock Casino
http://www.planetrockcasino.com
Oh look … they’re ripping off Planet Hollywood and Hard Rock Café all at the same time! Still STINKS like StarNet and WorldGaming though.

Platinum Sports International
http://www.betplatinum.com
Reports of software problems and the uncertainties facing books in Costa Rica lead us to encourage sports bettors to look elsewhere for their action.

Playboy Sportsbook
http://sportsbook.playboy.com
Residents of the USA are not allowed in the sportsbook. However, we assume that Americans will still be allowed to read the magazine’s articles.

PlayersBet
http://www.playersbet.com
Global Wager, PlayersBet, BetWorldWide … all the same family. Numerous slow pay reports and CR location place these guys firmly on our NO PLAY list.

Player's Club International
http://www.betpci.com
Based in the Dominican Republic, a country with which we’re uncomfortable conducting any sort of gaming business. On top of that, ongoing payout disputes give further cause for alarm.

Players Offshore
http://www.playersoffshore.com
AVOID. Sinsational = Cybersportsbook = WorldGaming = StarNet = SCAMMERS.

PlayersOnly
http://www.playersonly.com
Under the Sportingbet umbrella of sites. And, Sportingbet’s association with the WorldGaming crooks is enough to keep us away.

President’s Club Casino
http://www.casinopresidentsclub.com
President’s Club proudly states that they’re a member of the Ethical Online Gaming Association, “an independent organization focused on player protection.” The trouble with that is that this casino and the “watchdog” organization are both hosted on the same server, leading us to believe that the EOGA is not very “independent” after all.

Pro Football Sports Betting
http://www.profootballsportsbetting.com
Clone site. Says they’re on the “island” of Costa Rica … LOL. Simply horrible lines and an even worse attempt at shilling recently on a popular gambling forum leaves us wondering why these guys even exist. AVOID

ProsBet
http://www.prosbet.com
Smells like FutureBet … and that typically means SLOW PAY. Just a little habit they picked up from their WorldGaming/StarNet days.

ProSportsbook
http://www.prosportsbook.net
Once again, we’ll never recommend a book if we can’t readily find company information on their website. These guys are no exception and that, coupled with some current customer service complaints, makes us say AVOID these guys.

Real Bet
http://www.realbet.com
Powered by FutureBet. Haunted by WorldGaming. Plagued by poor management and worse customer service. AVOID

Royal Bet Casino & Sportsbook
http://www.royalbetcasino.com
Another clone site under the FutureBet umbrella. This is not a company that smart gamblers do business with. So, you decide.

Royale Casino & Sportsbook
http://www.royalecasino.com
Hey Look! They’re powered by FutureBet who was powered by WorldGaming who made a name for themselves as the biggest crooks and cheats in this industry.

RetroCasino
http://www.retrocasino.com
YAWN … another FutureBet site that probably doesn’t have much of a future after all. Slow pay reports in this entire family of sites.

RockIsland Sports
http://www.rockislandsports.com
Same as BetOnSports, JagBet, MVP Sports and others. All members of the biggest scam “watchdog” site of all time, the International Sports Book Council. It’s operated by the same folks running the sportsbooks. Watch as they write another glowing review of themselves … LOL … POS

Safari Casino & Sportsbook
http://www.safaricasino.com
Powered by FutureBet ... this family of companies has been plagued by slow pay complaints. Not surprising considering the WorldGaming background.

SIA - Sportsinteraction
http://www.sportsinteraction.com
Far too many complaints lodged against this book. Everything from slow pay, to excessive downtime, to getting booted for winning. Why take chances when everyone else is getting the shaft?

Sky High Casino
http://www.skyhighcasino.com
Redirects to Sportsbook USA – a FutureBet site. This family of sites has been plagued by slow pay reports dating back to their days of involvement with the WorldGaming crooks.

Skyline Casino
http://www.skylinecasino.com
Yet another book operating under the Sportingbet umbrella. We cannot recommend this family of books.

SkyTower Sportsbook & Casino
http://www.skytowercasino.com
Too many slow pay and no pay complaints to be ignored. These guys should be avoided at all cost.

Sportbet
http://www.sportbet.com
The Sportbet family of sites is in the unstable gaming climate that is Costa Rica. That’s bad news in and of itself. But it gets worse with the higher than average number of slow pay reports we’ve seen on these books. Play somewhere else.

SportFanatik
http://www.sportfanatik.com
StarNet / WorldGaming CROOKS. They stole from us and they’ll probably steal from you. In fact, we got our first taste of StarNet scum in earlier dealings with SportFanatik. AVOID these LOSERS!

SportGamblers
http://www.sportgamblers.com
Site was offline during our last visit … registration information shows similarities to that of SBG Global … a major CROOK and consummate SPAM artist.

Sporting Odds
http://www.sportingodds.com
UK books operating operating under the Sportingbet umbrella. We do not recommend this family of books.

Sportingbet
http://www.sportingbet.com
SportingBet’s relationship to WorldGaming creates the same air of mistrust for its family of sites as WorldGaming / StarNet did for their sites. Numerous no pay, slow pay claims against these folks. Why take chances with getting paid?
UPDATE - 12 AUG 2003
Mark Blandford, one of the driving forces behind Sportingbet.com, has cut his stake in the online bookie by nearly one-third in a £2.48m sell-off. Why? What does he know?

SportingIndex
http://www.sportingindex.com
UK spread betting shop. Limited feedback outside of rumored connections to SportingBet.

Sporting Options
http://www.sportingoptions.co.uk
SLOOOOW. Sports betting exchange that takes way too long to load. Outside of shills in some of the forums, there’s very little REAL feedback.

SportingbetUSA
http://www.sportingbetusa.com
Just another incarnation of Sportingbet.com – a family of sites that we suggest be AVOIDED at all cost. Associations with WorldGaming / StarNet and numerous reports of slow pay, no pay mean these guys stay on our blacklist.

Sportsbetting.com
http://www.sportsbetting.com
Being an advertiser on the popular gambling forums does NOT mean this is a quality book, nor does it remove the ever present STINK they possess from being associated with WorldGaming / StarNet.

SportsBettingCentral
http://www.sportsbettingcentral.net
So we waited and we waited and we waited. The site never loaded. Good thing we don’t have any money there!

Sports Betting Lines
http://www.sportsbettinglines.ca
Very cluttered site … feel like it’s yelling at us. Nonetheless, if it IS in Costa Rica as they claim, then that makes this book a sketchy play right now.

Sports Betting Trivia
http://www.sportsbettingtrivia.com
Any interesting idea … get a half point off the number (or 5 cents off money lines) for correctly answering sports trivia questions. Unfortunately, numerous accounts of server downtime and current gaming climate in CR make this an undesirable out.

Sportsbook911.com
http://www.sportsbook911.com
A relatively new book under the MetaGalaxia umbrella that came out of the gates "swinging" with regards to their marketing efforts. Questionable ethics surrounding false-advertising of a "50% Bonus" as well as under handed advertising techniques on Google leave us with a bad taste in our mouths about this book. Remember, solid shops do not need sneaky marketing!

Sportsbook.com
http://www.sportsbook.com
It’s truly a shame that the all time best URL for online sports gambling was registered by these crooks. The WorldGaming / StarNet STINK is almost unbearable. RUN.

Sportsbook Express
http://www.sportsbookexpress.com
Operated by the Sinsational Intertainment group … too many ties to WorldGaming and StarNet for our tastes. Stinks like slow pay, no pay. Much better outs elsewhere.

Sportsbook Illustrated
http://www.sportsbookillustrated.com
Funny that the link labeled “Integrity” leads to the admission that this is ust another incarnation of Sportingbet.com – a family of sites that we suggest be AVOIDED at all cost. Associations with WorldGaming / StarNet and numerous reports of slow pay, no pay.

Sportsbooks.com
http://www.sportsbooks.com
It took a while but we found that these guys are another of the many StarNet crooks. AVOID

Sportsbook Online
http://www.sportsbookonline.com
Another FutureBet site. Reports are that the same old slow pay, no pay problems that made WorldGaming and StarNet so infamous are now plaguing FutureBet shops. Steer clear.

SportsbookUSA
http://www.sportsbookusa.com
Another FutureBet site. Numerous reports of slow pay, no pay. No wonder though, considering FutureBet’s ties to WorldGaming. AVOID

Sports Mansion
http://www.sportsmansion.com
Claims affiliation with the downtrodden Royal Sports (Curacao) and offers links to SureBetOnline.com – an apparently defunct casino affiliate program. If not out of business already, it appears that they’re well on their way.

St Kitts Casino and Sportsbook
http://www.stkittscasino.com
Sister site of Offshore Action – a book with numerous slow pay no pay reports. Costa Rica locale also remains a negative at this time.

Superbet Spoortsbook & Casino
http://www.superbet.com
We should thank this book for placing the WorldGaming logo in such a prominent position on their site. That way, we know right away that we’re likely to get SCREWED if we join these folks. AVOID

Super Sportsbook
http://www.supersportsbook.com
Hold on … give us a minute … Ahh! There it is! Another StarNet / WorldGaming crook. You can tell it’s a StarNet related site because they want us to use their proprietary V-Chips as currency. We’ll take our “chips” somewhere else, thank you.

Tattoo Online Sportsbook
http://www.tattoosportsbook.com
Provides no company information on their site so we know very little about these folks. And that doesn’t make us feel very warm and fuzzy about sending them our cash.

The Big Book
http://www.thebigbook.com
The Big Book has been swallowed whole by BoDog.

The Bottom Line
http://www.tblcorp.com
Faslse front for Advance Casino … very strange sites for sure. we question the legitimacy of places like this that tell us very little about themselves. Are they hiding something?

The Online Bet
http://www.theonlinebet.com
Several recent reports of no pay by this Costa Rican book have us looking elsewhere for our action.

TopBet Gaming
http://www.topbet.com
TopBet powered by FutureBet who has ties to WorldGaming who you’ll remember as one of the StarNet partners in crime who you’ll recognize as the biggest offshore gaming crook ever.

Total Sports Betting
http://www.tsbets.com
We’ve said it before, tell us WHO and WHERE you are … we might play if you do. We definitely won’t if you don’t. We have reason to suspect that some portions of this site are located on servers in the US … and that’s a Bozo No-No.

VIP Sports Zone
http://www.vipsportszone.com
We typically frown on companies who traffic in domain names similar to their more popular competition … this case is no different. Bad marketing ethics usually translates into bad practices in other aspects of the business. What’s more, these folks aren’t telling us much about themselves. Other than posting that they operate “under of a number of gaming licenses in the Caribbean”, they don’t tell us who or where they are. AVOID

WagerCity
http://www.wagercity.com
We frown on companies that display logos of supposed gambling “watchdog” sites only to discover that they have a business connection to that organization. Otherwise, how does one explain the registration and server similarities between this shop and their “watchdog” - the Grand Virtual Gaming Alliance (GVGA).

Wager Tonight
http://www.wagertonight.com
Another shop under the umbrella of SportingBet, whose relationship to WorldGaming creates the same air of mistrust for its family of sites as WorldGaming / StarNet did for their sites. Don’t take chances on getting paid with a company that already has a spotty track record in that regard.

Wallstreet Sportsbook
http://www.wallstreet.com
It’s SportingBet in yet another disguise. And, if you dig around long enough and deep enough, you’ll find the WorldGaming connection. And, when you do, that’s your clue to RUN from these folks as fast as possible.

WallStreetBets
http://www.wallstreetbets.com
Another SportingBet clone that still has ties to WorldGaming – the undisputed heavyweight CROOKS of all time in regards to the offshore gaming industry.

White Buffalo Casino
http://www.whitebuffalocasino.com
I thought it smelled funny … not buffalo though. The STINK you smell is WorldGaming … CROOKS and SCAMMERS.

Win 4 Real
http://www.win4real.com
If you like cartoons, this is your book. If you like getting paid, you’ll want to leave these StarNet/WorldGaming punks behind.

WinCity Casino
http://www.wincitycasino.com
While we were waiting for this site to load, we took a few minutes to find some info elsewhere. When we saw ‘em on the StarNet list we knew immediately that there was no reason to wait for their site to finish loading. Whew, that saved us some time!

World Game Room
http://www.worldgameroom.com
NO. FutureBet sites should be avoided anyway, but we’re particularly concerned with any book claiming membership in the SCAM “watchdog” organization know as the “Ethical” Online Gaming Association … LOL.

World Games Casino
http://www.worldgamescasino.com
A laughable site. We’re particularly amused by their list of recent winners … see, this is a StarNet site and StarNet folks typically don’t pay anything! AVOID

World Sportsbook Casino (WSC)
http://www.worldsportsbookcasino.com
Avoid all JC Capitals related sites. Servers in Costa Rica – that’s a negative right now. Numerous reports of slow pay and no pay. Financial instability.

WorldWager
http://www.worldwager.com
A number of slow pay reports have surfaced recently. There are simply too many other books that DO pay on time … this ain’t one.

SBG Global
http://www.sbgglobal.com
No Pay. Scam Artists. Spam Artists. Cheaters. Any more questions?

Sports Gambling
http://www.sports-gambling.com
“Powered by SBG Global” … this is nothing more than a search engine spam site … catching search engine traffic with the “sports gambling” URL and redirecting them to the crooks at SBG Global.
