i had like 20k tied up there for the last 3 yrs and i couldn't get it out.. i was being stroked each day.. they would not do any book transfers, no FEDEX, and were giving me like 800 every 3 months.. i was going nuts.. i thought for sure i was getting stiffed.. i just kept getting the runaround.. i was running to post office every 3 months to pick up 800$ and paid 65$ fee..i hated it. and i couldn't take the lying.. each week, lie lie lie.. they would tell me monday they are sending 800$ and monday came, no money.. 3 weeks later, still no money..

then finally with 5k left in my acct 2 months ago, i asked them if i can make a book transfer and they said YES..i screamed..wooohooo... they took the 5k and instantly sent it to matchy...

i was so happy.. finally i got my money out of that book. i hated it cause they always changed the line on me on every bet i submitted..

now that they finally do book to book transfers, IF they don't change the line on me, i'd post up there again..

Aren't you the one soliciting their business by opening an account with them without being solicited by them? And who in their mind gives their phone number to a book that didn't solicit them to begin with?

You had money in your account before the business was even open? This makes no sense. Please keep the information factual.

98% of US facing books do calling campaigns this time of the year . I dont think its fair to bad mouth a book just because they called you to offer a signup bonus. I mean you signed up on your own .. unless you were not planning on depositing I wouldnt mind someone calling me with a nice little offer to dump a few hundred in there.

Betpphoenix is a great book along with some other names .

Onner pal they are good use them

RJ,

When did you guys open for business?

And more importantly, when will you start taking book-to-book transfers from other "A" books? I would like to play with you guys, but my ************ keep getting shut down whenever I try to deposit at BP.

i love how nicky was playing there before they even existed. he is confusing betmania which phoenix bailed out and thus bailed him out. mania by the way was rated D.

I don't know quite enough about the book business to gauge whether they are hurting as a book but I have never had a problem at all with them for anything. Payouts within 7 hours. Superb customer service from Nitaly when he was there, and now Charles. Solid book.

Just because you signed up at a book and submitted your information doesn't mean for anyone to get upset about a phone call. I would expect a call after signing up with them.

that's great to know..durito, i tell you man, it was 3 yrs of torture.. 3 yrs of lying each day to me.. they made me go to post office 3 times with a fake control # and the girl would tell me this # don't exist.. it was a nightmare.. they stroked me like no other book ever stroked me in my offshore career. and the lies.. one after the other..

hey RJ,

i want to play at betphoenix.. can you guarantee me you won't change the line on me, and also give me a 10 cent line, or even a progressive line, big limits online, and free transfers back and forth with matchbook and oh yeah, i want a bonus too.. rj, give me all this and my money is there in 15 minutes.

Nice to see a BS thread actually turn into something informative to players.

You signed up for the book and they actually called you to figure out how you could make a deposit. SHOCKING

Sure...you can have it all Nicky. 10 cents, big bonus, free transfers, big limits, steam. Sounds like a win-win.

We wont move anything on you, and you can have 10% bonus up to $500 FP and 10 cent lines if you are really interested.


Justin,

We added a few new CC units. We may be able to run your plastic now.

Thanks,

just a little advice to Betphoenix..

do NOT call onner and try to get his business.. it will be the biggest mistake of your lives.. Onner is a professional gambler.. he will singlehandedly bankrupt you guys.. and don't even think of booking his national televised baseball games.. he never loses those games.. he is an espn nat'l tv game expert.. he is 19-2 this year.. booking his bets is like burning money.. you might as well just give this money to charity, cause you will lose it....so back off this guy unless you want to lose money.. he is a professional gambler..
