Dante,
The case was tossed out of court!Carib is as safe as anyone else offshore! ANYONE can go under at any time! Can't understand why this site still don't have carib as a non advertiser reccommendation! Fastest PPATM transfers anywhere offshore through Carib!! I don't leave much there just a dime or so! This way if anything happens I don't get burnt! But then again I never leave much at any book, Usually under 3 dimes! Most offshore books have different names to send to with western union every time but Carib assigns you one name which they might change 2 times a year! I've been praising Carib for a while now but I'm just a loyal customer who believes they are fine!! YOU NEVER HERE OF ANY NEGATIVE MARKETING, BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE, NON OR SLOW PAYING, Only negative thing I hear bout Carib is that they are slow moving there lines! I think thats a good thing many times I liked a favorite that moved a point or two at other books and I caught it at Carib and it payed off! Also the other way if I liked an underdog that dropped at other shops I still got the original # at Carib! They move there # slower than most but they are A VERY SOLID BOOK IMO!!

unlimited free pre paid atm payouts,almost always done in less than 5 minutes
Above I said that Carib may be the best overall book in my opinion. I have to add that, although bonuses are not that important to me, they are to many. Carib's bonus system gives you reup bonuses but it is taken away when you cashout, which is nonsense. This is probably the only flaw that keeps them from being the #1 book without question.......
OK Jim, maybe I've misunderstood all along. As I said, I don't pay much attention to the bonus.But, from what I can recall and understand, Let's say I deposit $500, and I receive a $50 bonus for a total of $550. Ok, the money is there for me to play with, but, let's say I take it up to $1,050 and cash out. They then take back the $50 and I only receive the $1,000...........??
I have never had any problems with Carib and as far as I know, they were the first Sportsbook on the Internet. If I am wrong, please correct me. All I know is that all my friends that had Internet accounts were at Carib. I had a call in account prior to Carib but that Book didn't have a Internet account. It seems like Carib has been around on the Net for 10 years or more. I know Big Book which is now Bodog has been around for quite some time also but to my recollection, Carib was before Big Book on the Net. I rate Carib number one for Safety of my funds.
I like Carib and I can confirm from experience that their "squares" pay out every now & then, a nice little bonus to deposit $1,000 then find a square paying up another $500!
Plus points:
- quick Neteller payouts free of charge - are you listening Cris?
- very little server downtime
- easy to understand website
- excellent and informed Customer Services folk
A recent minus point has been that at times the price shown on logging in is not what you are then offered. Since this is not on every bet - far from it - I don't think this is specific to my account.
I reduced my funds when all the trouble flared up but am happily back with them now. I have been with them 2 and a half years now and have had no issues with them in that time, using them most days.

Federal prosecutors in Pittsburgh have moved to seize gold coins, a silver block and more than $1.6 million in cash from three men accused of running an illegal offshore gambling business in Antigua, Belize and the United States.
According to forfeiture documents filed in U.S. District Court here yesterday, the Internal Revenue Service is investigating Carib Sportsbook & Casino, Carib International and other corporate entities controlled by Jon R. Rogers of Toronto, Ohio; John A. Thorne of Tampa, Fla.; and another man identified as Peter T. Mowad.
The men, along with others not named, are under investigation for alleged unlawful transmission of wagering information, mail fraud, wire fraud and money laundering.
Since at least 1993 until this year, court papers indicate, the three men and others operated an offshore gambling business known as Carib in Antigua, Belize and the United States.
From locations in the Caribbean, they or their employees accepted millions of dollars in wagers on sports events from bettors in the United States, either online or by phone, according to the forfeiture document.
The men are also accused of diverting millions of dollars of illegal income from Carib and a gambling supply company they established in Florida, Draycott, for their own benefit.
In early June, the Criminal Investigation Division of the IRS executed a series of search warrants at Rogers' home and his warehouse in Ohio, Thorne's home in Tampa and several safe deposit boxes in Ohio and Pittsburgh.
In the Pittsburgh search on June 4, agents seized $700,000 from a safe deposit box controlled by Rogers at Citizens Bank on Steubenville Pike, in addition to 360 gold coins worth $122,400.
In Ohio, agents seized another $400,000 in cash from a safe deposit box controlled by Rogers at Sky Bank and another $400,000 from his box at National City bank.
The June 3 search of Rogers' warehouse turned up $45,000 in cash and a 100-ounce block of silver. Another $112,100 was taken from the Thorne home in Florida.
