Some sportsbooks look legit but are actually sketchy—delayed withdrawals, canceled bets, and rigged odds. I don’t want to risk my money on a shady site. What’s the best way to check a bookie’s reputation before depositing?
grettipuk - 2/27/25 Thanks for bringing this up! It’s crazy how many sketchy sportsbooks are out there, and it’s not always easy to tell which ones are legit. I’ve definitely come across a few sites that seemed fine at first but turned out to have shady practices. I just checked out Ratingbet, and I really like how they keep track of scam reports and player complaints. That’s exactly the kind of transparency I’ve been looking for. Definitely going to use this before signing up anywhere new. Appreciate the recommendation!
anthonydrowow - 2/27/25 You’re smart to be thinking about this. There are so many sketchy betting sites out there that look legit but actually have a history of rigged odds, delayed payments, and canceled bets. I almost got caught in one of these traps before, but luckily, I found Ratingbet just in time. They keep an updated blacklist of scam sportsbooks and highlight the red flags to watch out for. Now, before I sign up anywhere, I check their rankings to make sure I’m not walking into a scam. If you want to bet safely, I’d definitely recommend checking them out first. It’s way better than learning the hard way!
