2007/01/12 - Review bt Ira Nanson

IslandCasino was launched online in 1997 and despite Sportbet's intentions to sell the operations in 2004 the management had a rethink when there was no offers and decided to advance with a more player friendly attitude.

Like BetCRIS, BetMaker, Diamond Sportsbook and TCBets, IslandCasino sportsboook is powered by Digital Gaming Solutions which is well known for providing efficient and reliable software.

The website boasts a number of attractive features including skill games, live betting, live lines, wireless phone betting, WAP cell odds, teaser / parlay calculators plus news and betting articles.

Most major sporting events are available and include football, basketball, baseball, hockey, boxing, tennis, soccer, auto sports and horse racing.

Wager types are limited to straight bets, bet the board, parlays, teasers, if bets, reverses and props.

The minimum wager accepted by Island Casino is $0.50.

Square and sharp players are welcome to wager at the Sportbet organization however bonus abusers will not be tolerated.

There is a good selection of automated payment options available such as Credit Card deposits, P2P (Person to Person), Moeny Order, Sportsbook transfer, and classic account to account transfers. Bitcoins are as well accepted.

Payouts take 24/48h to be processed. Be aware that all payouts take 24/48 to be processed and some of most of them have their special schedules (https://www.islandcasino.com/info/banking-center.htm). The Customer Service department is opened 24/7 if you have any questions.

Generous promotions are advertised and for those customers who chose to receive the bonus profile instead of reduced juice at -107 when they registered an account should note that in addition to rollover requirements, the funds will need to stay in the account for no less than 30 days before the bonus can be withdrawn.

IslandCasino promise withdrawals 7 days a week from 11 am to 10 pm EST and if they fail to process the payout within 1 hour from the time of request it will be free of any fees.

Customer support is available 7 days a week from 9 am to 12 pm EST via live chat, email and a toll free telephone service. From my experience of using the live chat feature I have found the agents will only answer questions and fail to engage in any courteous or friendly communication.

Although Sportbet and IslandCasino received a small number of no / slow payout complaints in 2004/2005 there hasn't been any major reported problems since and it seems that Sportbet have upheld their promise to provide a customer friendly environment and have established a more solid reputation in the last 2 years.

Essentially the book has a good reputation for payouts and promotions and poses a very minimal risk to player funds.
