Jazz Sports Review
Posted August 12, 2010 – 5:35 am in: Sportsbook Reviews
Jazz Sports online sportsbook is a proud member of the DPT Group. DPT is one of a handful of sports betting corporations that own a variety of online books and land based casinos. Some of the other sportsbooks they own include ABC Islands, Loose Lines, and Club Dionysus. Although coming from a prominent sportsbook family, Jazz Sports has taken some criticism lately due to US online gambling laws which saw the DPT Group get fined a considerable amount for being in violation.
As a result, many customers who signed up with Jazz Sports saw their deposits turn into the funding money for DPT Group to pay off the fine. This led to a lot of controversy as Jazz Sports was unable to pay the majority of its clientele when it came to making withdrawals. Receiving your winnings went from five days during Jazz Sports early years to just over a few months due to the US Online Gambling Laws.
However, in such a difficult time for the DPT Group, Jazz Sports has remained a strong sportsbook, as their customer relations is one of the industries leaders. Taking a page from iconic sportsbook Bodog, Jazz Sports has remained afloat by marketing themselves and truly committing to their remaining clients.
Of the four online sportsbooks that are a part of DPT Group, Jazz Sports has always been their top book. Nevertheless during this trying time, Jazz Sports has compromised with its customer base, by limiting the types of deposits and withdrawals that one can make. For instance when they first started out back in 1998 in Costa Rica, Jazz Sports was accepting all types of deposits from debit and credit cards to Moneygram and bank wire. Now to assure they can send patrons their winnings, Jazz Sports only uses Moneygram, bank wire, Neteller and credit cards.
As well Jazz Sports is one of a handful of online sportsbooks that allow transferring of accounts to other sportsbooks. The transfer fees between Jazz Sports and competition they have collaborated with has kept the sportsbook afloat for the most part.
