Skybook Sportsbook Review
WARNING - Skybook is NOT recommended
Known mainly as a North American sport focused sportsbook, Skybook was once a reputable skybook in the late 90’s. They were based out of Costa Rica and were acquired in June 2010 by the BetPhoenix family of online gaming.
The acquisition started with Bet Phoenix serving as the host/platform for Skybook and moved to a full-scale buyout.
Skybook Reputation
: 1/5One of the big reasons for the Skybook buyout is due to the sportsbook’s insolvency and financial difficulties from 2008-2010. Skybook became completely unable to pay its players or marketing partners, and selling off its assets became the struggling brand’s only option.
Although BetPhoenix is a reputable sportsbook, all eyes are on them to see how they handle this acquisition and how they treat transitioned players and marketing partners.
