Default Bet Royal - Anyone still playing there?

I stopped playing there years ago, but I still thought I had a few dollars in my account. So I logged on today and was asked to update my details.
Firefox came up with a Phishing warning, so I didn't.
But my account balance was zero, so not sure if I was wrong or my few dollars were removed due to inactivity.
I then emailed csd@betroyal.com but the email bounced back.

Anyone know the current situation with them?

last i heard of betroyal "chester" took over management duties and started paying people through here (and other sites) for stolen balances of the past from pyramid sportsbooks.
i had a rather sizable balance from 3 years prior that was given back to me with no rollover requirements, and i didn't even have to provide proof of anything. i think the only stipulation was $750/week max withdrawal but all the payments were made.

that was a couple years ago and since then i think i heard chester was gone so their customer service has probably suffered, he was terrific.

I still play there, haven't had any issues but don't keep much of a balance there. Knock on wood, I haven't had any issues there.

i played there 3 or 4 years ago

got out and decided not to go back

funniest thing with their bet format

on a -110 wager, 110$ to win a 100$ on risk or win amoount was normal

but if you dropped it to 11$ to win 10$ it was normal

but if you put a risk amount of 10$ (it should of been to win 9$, eliminating the change), but it came up as 10$ to win 10$

they ROUNDED UP the 'to win 9' and change to 10$

remember making 10 consecutive 10$ risk wagers to save the vig and get 100$ to win 100$

this lasted about ten days then they fixed it

Thanks for the replies.
It seems like they don't have many players these days.

Payouts same day via moneybookers. CS is inefficient and asks dumb questions like all books (getting a w/d processed can take 15-20mins), but always gets the job done. I have deposited large amounts consistently there for over a year and never any payout hassles.
