Is sportsbook.com poker legit??

Ive had problems with cashing out my betting wagors on this site, i read its got very bad reviews and is generally not recommended for sports-betting (SBR rating: D-), i was interested to see that it is listed as one of the top poker sites in the CC list, this brings me to my question:
Has anyone had any problems with them as far as poker goes? anyone successfully cash out decent sized amounts from here?

Yep, 9/10 for banking and 9/10 for support.

Haven't played there, no (US only it appears) but I think the players are merged with Cake Poker pool.

No. Also, never used them for sports betting.

have money there but have not cashed out yet. its a cake skin and that is one of the up and comimg poker sites. plus its a sportsbook and that is a good thing. so i don't think there should be any problems cashing out.
what kind of problems are you having.

ok, well trust me they are horrible when it comes to sports-wagering, known to take out big rolls using loopholes in their rules and other BS to take your funds, good to know that they are ok with poker, all i can say is be sure to cash out when you are well ahead!!

I have cashed out twice in the past year. I got the check both times in less than a month and had no problems.

I signed up at Sportsbook for poker a couple days ago, and the thing that impressed me most about them is that my credit cards work there for deposits! None of my cards work at any other poker site, but they do at SB.

I signed up there only to get a free copy of Hold'em Indicator (it was about the only US site I could still signup for to get the free license). Now I'm grinding through my 200 raked hands to unlock HI for Stars play, which is my regular room. I played 50NL for about an hour last night and doubled up, the players there at that level are pretty bad. Saw lots of all-ins with hands like J9o, I couldn't believe it. I was playing my usual tight game or I could probably have made more off them -- once I folded pocket 5's post-flop due to a lot of raising, only to hit two more on the turn & river for quads! Hate it when that happens...

Wow, I have to say I kinda like SportsBook now, at least for micro stakes. Lots of fish. Tonight I was grinding through my 200 raked hands to get my free Holdem Indicator unlocked, playing 6-max .10/.20 NL. My first session didn't go well, I blew my $12, not being used to stakes that low -- there were people at the table with 88 VPIP, playing every rag in the deck. So I tried a tournament, but same thing. Figured I'd play out the rest of my money on the cash game, trying to get my 200 rakes and get back to Stars.

So I go back to the .10/.20NL table. I sat through 275 hands in the last couple hours or so, playing about 100 rakes. I sat down with $12, lost down to $4, then within about 20 minutes I was over $60. Left the table with $151. I won one pot of $105, which I thought was pretty high for 6-way .20NL pot. This guy kept re-raising my boat with trips, and finally went all in, LOL.

I joined there and deposited $50 just to get the HI license, now overnight I've more than tripled that stake, so I'm feeling pretty good. I had intended to just rake my 200 and cash out my balance, but now I'm thinking I might hang out here a bit more, while the money is easy. Us newbs to online poker have to take it where we can get it.
