Default BetUS payout window opening today?

Today is the day they promised they would start paying again. Hopefully Santa was good to them. Anyone have a payout request pending? NewGuy?

I too am very curious if people are getting there payout requests filled.

I spoke with somebody there yesterday, and they assured me that payouts would resume today. They also went on to say it will be business as usual

Hey everyone,

I'm new here to the boards, looks like an awesome place and I look forward to sharing/reading picks/opinions and what not.

For the issue at hand, BetUS.com DID process my payout that I had originally put in on the 23rd today.

It's worth noting that I'm a low stakes gambler so it was only a $140 payout, bigger payouts might elude them!

While I was waiting for the payout, I made a few 100, so I'm going to try a second withdrawl of most (or all) of my money. I'll let you all know if I run into any problems.

I think I'm going to head to The Greek as soon as I get all my money outta here... I like their interface and they seem to have a lot of betting options. That was BetUS's strongest point for me, being able to bet things like team totals on hockey as well as just ML and over unders

"NewGuy, How about a deposit for the team?"

Ha! I do want to get back in there but it really wouldn't help you much if I did. Cuz I'd deposit $500 and then either bust out or get $1k and then it'd take a while to rollover, etc....

You'll know where I dabble though...don't worry! I can't believe some bastards are going to steal my money! Its so unfair!

Default BETUS Still not paying??

Reply is we cannot find the owner to approve the payout that was requested on the 10th of Dec.
Hoping he shows soon as it will be over 3 weeks since our first request and its an absolute nightmare as we heard every excuse as to not paying and some new ones.

After my initial withdrawl went down fine (the one that I'd put in on Dec 23rd), the one that I asked for much earlier today is still "Waiting Supervisor Authorization".

But, I'll give it time. If I hadn't found this site and read all the horror stories I wouldn't be so terrified!

Keep us updated. Might help to make a few smaller requests. If they are using the ole "waiting on the owners approval" gig there is probably an amount that doesn't get stalled.

You know I have no control over the rating here at all. However, if a book stalls on a mere 5 dimes, and pulls stuff like they did above it's fairly obvious what needs to be done don't you think?

Bill has way more patience than me and considerably more current knowledge of their situation. But just from the information he has made public in the last week I would say if there is not a downgrade, Bill needs to explain to us why.

I still haven't recieved my second payout.

They said that "due to the fact that they weren't accepting payouts from Dec 23 - Jan 3rd, they have a lot of payouts that they need to process and mine might take a while"

Who the ****'s fault is that?

P.S. It's only $150. Can't fathom what it must be like for you high stakes guys.

Stay away at all costs.

I only wish more people knew about SBR. BetUS would probably have to fold their tent. No one should be sending money to these crooks.

Agreed! And the worst part, as others have mentioned, is how well advertised they are.

I found them ranked an A++ in some magazine about 2 or 3 years ago which is why I chose them in the 1st place... have since heard ads for them on the radio (Jesse Ventura) and seen billboards around town.

Good new though - my payout processed today. Hope everyone else has the same good luck.

Exclamation BetUS Not Honorable

I have been a customer of BetUS since December 2006. I signed up when I was sent by US mail a flyer from BetUS. It promised a 50% Bonus for first Deposits. I deposited $5,000 and was promised $2,500 worth of free plays once I wagered 7 times my deposit. I have since wagered well over $35,000 and I am being told that my free plays were cancelled by the management. No explaination, just cancelled. I did withdrawl $5,000 from my account with no problems in late December. I requested another withdrawl last week of $5,000 that has not been sent to me yet. I am no longer betting at BetUS until this is resolved. I am also requesting a withdrawl of the rest of my funds imediately.

Hi Dr. Porkchop. You now know what BetUS' modus operandi regarding ridiculous bonus offers. Lose and its all good. Win, and BetUS steals the money back.

I would post this at EOG.com. They promote these crooks. However, they know BetUS is crooked and will not delete the post. They will even offer assistance.

First off, Let me welcome you to the SBR forum Dr.Porkchop.

This book has been real bad news as of late from the looks of it. Send us an email along with your details to: Assistance@SportsbookReview.com , and let see if we can get you paid.

I was paid by netteller today. 5K I requested another 5k
I was denied the bonus due to me. No excuses, just a NO.
It was a 2,500 free play.

It really pains me to read this thread. There are a lot of things I like about them and would really hate to stop using the site, but I think it's time to read the writing on the wall. I've got too much money in there to chance it and I've had issues there myself (including having to wait on big withdrawals like I see many others here have too).

Any updates?

There are several people in this thread alone having difficulty getting their money out of BetUS? Have all of them been paid now, or is it some government holiday somewhere in the world?

Just stay away from BetUS. You will sleep better at nights. I used to play there b/c their bonuses where so generous, but it's a very shady book. My position with them was mostly a lost, which is a good thing. If you win you are in danger of getting shafted or slow paid. I feel lucky to have gotten out of there without any problems but I won't go back ever. And they still harrass me with phone calls. Also BetRoyal and Betmania. All very scary books. When you are constantly getting phone calls to redeposit you know there is something very wrong. The smart money is staying away and they are desperate to get more deposits.
