Caribsports is the grandfather of the online gaming industry and it's reported that they were the first to be licensed in the highly respected gaming jurisdiction of Antigua and Barbuda back in 1993. Although the operations moved to Belize in 1996 the company still maintains a gaming license in Antigua.

Most withdrawal requests are processed 7 days a week and Carib have established a good reputation of reliability.

Customer support is provided 24/7/365 via email, toll free telephone service and an 'in house' messaging system which is effectively used by 90% of their customers and the response times are generally rapid.

The book once accepted action from all types of bettors but they have now switched their business model to cater only to recreational and intermediate bettors. This is reflective of the variety of bonus offers ranging from every day reloads and reduced juice.

Caribsports very rarely receives any negative feedback from customers and perhaps the most serious relates to a wager dispute which was settled in favor of the customer.

The book provides an above average wagering experience, a secure betting environment and is widely considered to be a rock in the industry.
