Sportzino - be aware - TOTAL SCAM!!!

[egla]

Please be aware that Sportzino.com site is a total fraud and guys running it are experienced scammers.
I deposited about $2500 in the beginning, I played maybe a couple of weeks, won something like $100 in total,
and they immediately limited my maximum bet for all sports to $1.
When I requested my money back they said - no, you need to complete your rollover.
So playing with maximum $1 per bet meant I would need to play several years, place thousands of bets $1 each and dedicating
al lot of time to that just to be able to withdraw.
Since I had no choice I started doing that and after 7 months I was able to withdraw few hundred bucks.
After that they completely blocked my account from placing bets and 2 months later they informed me that all funds (around $1800)
were confiscated because of "60 days inactivity".
Lesson learned - stay away from these scammers.

They are a Sweepstakes book yah? How does one go after a sweepstakes book I think it's a federal thing which might make it complicated...

thats totally scam tactics,,, unlucky but next time look out where you deposit, there are many bookies similar this site that the only thing they want is you deposit and never pay user withdrawals.

SZ is basically a casino with a Sportsbook offering on the side. If you win a few in a row they are ridiculously quick to limit to a dollar or two for most bets. The vig is terrible, however, they often have mispriced lines.

The largest Sportsbook Cash package offered on the website (at least initially) is $100, which might be the first clue to not run thousands through there. The playthrough is 1x and you can withdraw winnings, so OP's story isn't quite adding up on that part. Yes its a sweepstakes book.

Their ID verification process is more extensive than your typical offshore book. I don't know if OP ran into trouble there. I've never had a problem being paid by them but then again, I haven't requested anything more than a couple hundred from SZ.

That being said if they did disable your ability to bet completely and used the 60 day activity rule to confiscate funds, that's terrible. I would of suggested trying to keep it active with a casino spin or two while fighting for the funds.

Yeh but that's not the point he shouldn't have to do a casino spin to keep from getting his account closed

I have never tried there and I'm not going to...I'd rather take my chances with offshores than scumbags like SportZino

For sure, I'd only recommend them to do small parlays or promos but to stay away for any serious betting.

Even with 1x playthrough how will you get funds back if your max bet is $1? You need to spend hours to play thousands of bets (and obviously lose some of them) just to be able to withdraw.
The "60 days inactivity" for funds confiscation is crazy by itself. What if you go on vacation or get to the hospital?
