Ashamed
September 16, 2019

CBS you should be ashamed. I expected better from you. I have been a member for like 4 years. Your predictions blow. I only use your A and B picks and they lose about 80% of the time. Change what you are doing or get lost...

Mike McClure is a fraud
August 19, 2019

Absolutely the worst service ever. Paid for a full year and played Mike McClure's DFS picks every night and I don't know what's going to happen first, my account going to $0 or the end of the baseball season. On top of that, every night they spin some BS marketing tactic that makes it sound like they pick winners every night. They never acknowledge losses or admit slumps. I'm down so much money using Mike McClures picks he should issue a formal apology for his miserable 2019 season. Instead he keeps touting articles claiming to be an expert. To be called an "expert" is an absolute joke. I could pick better teams with a blind draw.

Cannot cancel on line must call, I did call the number listed in terms of use on my profile page Friday night before the day my subscription expired. They told me they could not find my account and gave me another number but this number was closed until Monday which now puts me over the expiration date. After a lengthy explanation on Monday with the manager they coud not do anything once the charge is made but charge me for another year and then cancel my account. I thought with CBS name on this sportsline would be a professional company. Not so! CBS should be embarrassed.

Scam artists
June 4, 2019

They automatically renewed my subscription without permission after I cancelled and kept billing me. I asked them to refund me and they said since it was a subscription they can't. Scam artists.

These guys call themselves experts and claim to use some formula to predict winners. If that is true then they are purposely misleading subscribers because their PGA picks could not have been more off! He predicted DeChambeau would win the PGA Championship and he didn't even make the cut! He also recommended picking Sergio and Poulter who missed the cut. His other recommended picks barely made the cut and were nowhere
Near the top of the leaderboard. I suggest if you already subscribed to pick anybody but the expert picks as you probably are more of an expert than any of the dumbasses on Sportsline's "Expert" panel. No one is that bad at picks which leads me to believe they are purposely swaying you towards the people at the bottom of their analysis. If you have issues with them charging your CC after you cancel, contact your cc company and file a fraud claim. That will shut this $#*! show down faster than writing this review!

Allows you to subscribe online but to cancel you have to call them and wait their long hold times. That is one way to define a company that is unethical.

Predatory billing
May 2, 2019

Was told I had to cancel by May 1 to avoid automatic charge. Was charged on May 1. Contacted them on the same day, explained that I wanted to restart my subscription in a few months, asked for a concession/refund of $25 and after multiple back-and-forths they continued to refuse. Short-sighted and stupid. Avoid.

Sportsline is the worst subscription service. They do not allow you to cancel online, And charge you if you call the same day to cancel. Also they will not pick up the phone to cancel. Their so called "experts" are right 50% off the time. Do not waste your money.

December 13, 2018

Cancelling requires emailing customer service and they don't allow at the click of the button. I kindly asked for a refund and was told "per service terms". Bad customer service leads to bad reviews.

As many others have said, Sportsline is absolute scum. They literally will not answer the phone if you try to call to cancel, will not acknowledge emails requesting cancellation, and even after placing a stop payment order with my bank Sportsline somehow managed to resubmit a charge to me. This company screams fraud and their laughable fantasy football picks left me next to last place in two leagues.

Scam!
November 15, 2018

The content is not worth paying for as you can get the same content from free fantasy sports sites. Cancelling is next to impossible as they just extend your membership to where you have to cancel time and time again. The so-called experts and computer models they stand by is nothing more than 50-50 guesses so don't waste your money!

I was just about to type in my credit card number, when something told me to read sportsline reviews just to be on the safe side. After reading most of them, I am so glad I did not proceed with this membership!

SCAM--STAY AWAY
September 25, 2018

Everything everyone else has said is true. Do not sign up! It's impossible to cancel. They give you a number to call but no one ever answers. And when you try to do it by email, they refuse to delete your account. Had to go through my CC company to avoid this company charging my card. This website is trash. STAY AWAY!

SERVICE IS TERRIBLE
September 22, 2018

I have used this service cautiously for a few years now and I can say it has gotten much worse. DO NOT PAY FOR THIS SERVICE BECAUSE YOU WILL GO BROKE. Today, Saturday September 22,2018 the "A" picks are currently zero for 3. I would be hard pressed to give 1 star as the service sucks that much! STAY AWAY AND THROW A DART!

Can't Cancel Membership
July 25, 2018

I have repeatedly tried for the last few days to cancel my membership, but like others have stated, they force you to call them to do so, but then don't answer the phone when you do. After 10 minutes, their automated system tells you to leave a voicemail -- which is just as pointless as calling.

I will be reaching out to my CC company and work with them to put a stop to these payments.

Pathetic
July 20, 2018

Besides giving advise that you would do just as well to flip a coin, they will not let you cancel online and I had the same experience trying to cancel like others on this site. I even cancelled my card and somehow they managed to get on the new one.
CBS Sports should be embarrassed to be associated with this terrible company.
