Sportsbooks to Stay Away From – Fall 2024 Edition

It’s that time of year again. Football is here! It’s the most watched, most bet and most loved sport in the United States. With a hundred million fans and tens of millions of bettors, American football generates betting handle in the billions of dollars annually.

Bettors risk their hard-earned money to throw down on their picks for the weekend, hoping to at least eek out a profit. At minimum, they are just hoping not to lose any money. So, imagine the rage and frustration you would feel when after you have defied the odds and won a good amount of money betting on football, you are told that you cannot have your winnings or you are totally ignored and blocked altogether. This very scenario happens every single year.

The culprit are rogue scam sportsbooks. Theses scammers set up online and become what we call “deposit only sportsbooks”. This is because they will have no problem accepting your deposit payment but when it comes time to pay you out your winnings, they never do.

We have seen dozens and dozens of these operations come and go. We add them to the sportsbook blacklist to warn our readers after the scam has been identified and confirmed, but for many its too late.

After the sportsbook has been defunct for a number of years we will remove them from lists on our site in order to weed out information which is no longer valuable. In this article, we want to list of the known scam sportsbooks which are still operating and issue a fresh new warning about them.

Any sportsbook using a name that is trying to “piggy back” off a legitimate and well established sportsbook by copying its name or logo is going to be a scam book. The deception practice of trying to look or sound like another sportsbook serves only one purpose: to scam people into depositing there because they think its the reputable one.  This sportsbooks is doing exactly that. They are copying the name of Heritage Sportsbooks whose actual domain name is HeriatgeSports.eu – Make sure the domain exactly matches that or there is a chance you are dealing with a clone scammer.
