They are all rip offs in my opinion. They can and usually do keep your money and there is nothing you can do about it.
it would be nice to live in vegas.. but as far as offshore for 99% of the rest of us, this is very untrue.
books who can be trusted are easily found by doing research as over the years the shady books have been reported and the companies documenting that have helped out us bettors greatly.
there is plenty of safe books to play at that would never stiff just like pokerstars when forced out of the usa paid and pinnacle and betjamaica when leaving the usa paid..etc
The better the deposit bonus...the less likely you are to ever get paid.
this isnt true either.
take justbet as an example...offers a year round 100% fp bonus. B+ rated book.. never stiffed nor even had a report or accusation of doing so and they been around for approximately a decade.
I know of people that ran up around 20k through them and were paid like clockwork.
sometimes when u dont know the facts from real experience it is best to just not assume. I do realize there is PLENTY of shady books out there in the web... but that doesnt mean that with good research u cant find a solid out or a dozen :toast:
