IslandCasino |
| Short Description |
: |
When traveling to a tropical island, there are three things you must always look out for - beaches, women in bikinis and sportsbook wagering. Surfing the internet is no different and that leads us to IslandCasino, the internet’s only tropical sportsbook and casino paradise. They have pictures of scantily clad women, pictures of beaches and pictures of slots and roulette tables. While the pictures of women may not transform into real sex, the pictures of sportsbook lines can turn in to real bucks. |

IslandCasino Professional Review |
| By Kris Takahashi |

Island Casino Sportsbook - The Look
Once you register for your account and tell the powers that be whether you want fractions or decimals, you are off to the sportsbook. Unfortunately, on your way to the sportsbook, a giant flashing ad gets shoved in your face - WHOA!!!! It’s for March Madness, a madness that ended two months ago. Hmmm....perhaps I am mistaken and this is a head start promotion for next year’s college tournament. IslandCasino must be a very proactive bunch and must be anticipating one hell of a tourney. Shit, I was thinking on betting on the NBA Finals, but let's focus on the future. Navigation is via the checking box system of wagering, the most annoying system on the planet. Rather than give a drop down menu to select the type of bet, you have to first pick a type, then find your line. How do you know if you want to straight bet or parlay without seeing the line first? Clearly this sportsbook and others like it are made for soothsayers only.
Island Casino Sportsbook Deposits/Withdrawals
Deposit methods include: NETeller, Firepay, credit, Nexum, 900pay, echeck, Central Coin, Bank Wire. Withdrawal methods include: NETeller, credit, check, bank wire, Solidpay, Firepay, Central Coin.
If you are a seasoned gambler, you should already be familiar with the speed of these various withdrawal and deposit methods. Most charge a fee and will gut your bonus like Mike Tyson’s fishy opponents. Yet that is the price you pay for security in an insecure business.
Island Casino Sportsbook Betting Types
Props are getting scarcer and scarcer and IslandCasino sportsbook is no exception. Sure, they have boxing and baseball props, but the NBA, despite being in championship season, are missing the familiar “Rasheed Wallace over/under 1 technical” bets. On the other hand, they do bring the goods with their wager types, giving you win reverses, if wins, action ifs, action reverses. There is a rodeo of wagering to be had here, NBA props be damned.
Island Casino Sportsbook Bonuses
IslandCasino offers a 50% bonus, that’s right, 50% bonus on select deposits and re-ups, up to $300. The catch being you have to wager the sucker 7 times before the money will ever see your sweaty little hands.
Island Casino Sportsbook Customer Service
IslandCasino sportsbook’s customer service area amounts to a small box in the corner of the “My account” section. Yet they provide all the necessary service avenues, from toll free numbers to email to live chat. However, they are a small department and it may be difficult to find someone to yell at if you call before game time. You don’t yell, you say? What else would you call service people for? No one calls when things go well.
As for the users, IslandCasino isn’t popular enough to generate message board buzz.
Island Casino Sportsbook Verdict
Despite having a plethora of wagering types, IslandCasino is lacking in a few departments, like customer service and navigation. Yet these are minor issues and it really comes down to whether or not you like the crazy action, the reverse bets and wild if win scenarios that will make your brain nutty. If so, then IslandCasino sportsbook may be right for you.
