One of you deposits? Risky.. BetUS aren't highly rated.

All of you deposit? Might as well get the complaint in at SBR now, will give you a head start.

Sounds good. Betus has an D-Rating by Sportsbookreview. I don't know why, so some risk that they make problems if you want to withdraw your money will be possible. I looked at their website and their stands something from 125% if you deposit 5000$ or more. OK the bonus is freeplay, that means you get the winnings from bet but you get no stake, so it make only sense to play with higher odds.
Because If you bet 1000$ with 1.20 you will get 200$ if you win.
If you play to bets with 500$ each and you win one and lose the other and the Odds of the bets was 2.00 you win 500$.
But you should decide if you want to do, because D isn't the best rating and I would take some information about Betus before taking this deal.

There were complaints last time they made this type of offer.

3/28/2006 12:10:00 PM
SBR Bill Dozer reports: BETUS(SBR rating D+) Bonus Scams Worsen
A bettor won $1575 from his free-play but was informed he will not have the ability to redeem his winnings per the listed terms. The player was told he must forfeit his winnings or agree to double his roll-over from 5x to 10x with a wagering limit of only $50. The player would be forced to give the book an additional $18,125 in action and make over 456 fifty dollar additional wagers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3/25/2006 11:40:00 PM
SBR Bill Dozer reports: BETUS (SBR rating D+) refuses to honor bonus after six time roll-over was completed. The player has withdrawn his account balance less $1,550, which was the result of his free-play winning wagers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3/24/2006 12:20:00 PM
SBR Bill Dozer reports: BETUS Bait N’ Switch Bonus Scam
The player completed his six time roll-over on a 50% free-play bonus and asked for a payout. BETUS tells the player that he is classified as a professional bettor and must wager his deposit + bonus amount an additional six times. The player states that he is in need of his funds and must give up the earned funds if the book will not honor its listed terms. The new stipulations would require the account holder to wager as much as $25,000 (BETUS uses the smaller of the risk/win amount to calculate bonuses) prior to being allowed to withdraw. The player was awarded the bonus funds for reloading his account.
This complaint was submitted three days after SBR received a similar complaint from BETUS sister book, Omni Sports(SBR rating D+).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3/22/2006 8:45:00 AM
SBR Bill Dozer reports: Omni Sportsbook(SBR rating D+) reverses decision to add wagering requirements to bettor’s winnings before processing additional payouts. This was a common complaint from BETUS and Omni clients in years past. Forcing the player to risk his/her funds is a form of theft.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3/8/2006 4:25:00 PM
SBR Bill Dozer reports: BETUS(SBR rating D+) Bait and Switch Bonus? Bettor denied NFL loss rebate. The player was promised the 10% rebate throughout the football season as he lost $15,000, earning a $1500 free-play. After the NFL season, BETUS confirmed that the player had earned the bonus and assured him that future account activity would not affect his NFL rebate which would be credited before the end of February. The bettor reloaded his account and went on to to win back most of the amount lost during the NFL season. As a result, BETUS closed the betting account, denied the free-play earnings and deleted 25,000 in bonus points which could be redeemed for a free-play.

Player: "I SPECIFICALLY ASKED IF I LOSE MORE THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE MONTH IF WOULD I GET MORE CASH BACK AND HE SAID NO -- IT DOESNT MATTER WHETHER YOU WIN OR LOSE NOW, ALL THAT MATTERS IS WHAT YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE WAS RIGHT AFTER SUPERBOWL. Just to confirm that, I called two different clerks the next day and asked if I were to go on a win streak in the days and weeks after the superbowl, if that would affect my gamblers assurance and they assured me that it would not."


Kevin King, their new CEO was able to set most of these right but still hasn't been able to get a player paid his $14,000 owed to him. So far the player has only received settlement offers.

BetUs is still sending the message that players have to fight to get their money.

All you do is when they call is tape the conversations with the incoming phone number and send to the FBI, most likely you will gt someone busted in the usa for promoting illegal gambling. The Feds love busting these creeps.

Real easy

If they can't resolve a case for 14k, yet another reason to stay away. Want another book that meets most of the criteria to go the way of BOS, look no further.

Roberto stands by them

Theres always a reason for those bonuses... you get what you pay for or in this case the very high risk of loss of any funds deposited.

Exactly,
100% bonus with the maximum of 1000$ is very unusual. The secure bookies give you normaly only 10% or 20% or If the give 100% they gave it only for an little amount of maybe 30$ or 50$. So 125% when deposit 5000$ or more is really very unusual.

I think it's a good decision to stay by Pinnacle. Their are nearly only good things to tell about Pinnacle. The only points what you can say about Pinnacle is that you get only 1 free withdrawel per month and that you loose the possibility to withdraw to moneybookers when you deposit one time with credit card.

i could never send any book money that kept calling with too good to be true offers. The worst thing is they called you over and over again at work.

BetUS is the next sportsbook that the feds should target. Same modus operandi as BetOnSports. Lying, scamming, stiffing.

BetUS spends big bucks on advertising too. Its a safe bet the deposit money goes right into their mega ad budget.

Regarding the federal investigations, you've been advised before about looking at the bigger picture. Do you actually understand what the bigger picture is?
