Default BETUS bonus 100% - CAREFUL

Just recieved a postcard for a 100% bonus and an additional 10% in casino chips at BETUS.
It appears that the end is near and they are looking for all the deposit money before they pull the plug and run with all funds.
Its just my guess but I know no book can survive giving a 50% bonus and they are offering a 100% plus 10% and I feel this is the last attempt to get all the funds they can before running.
CAREFUL

Now thats Scary!

I feel sorry for those who don't know about this forum. Otherwise they would know better than to take them up on that juicy bonus offer.

Default They are not the only one

Many books are going to start dropping.

Betus looks like they will be soon.

If it is 100% free play with a 6 times rollover and a 60 day hold, then they have been doing this twice a year for a while now. The 10% poker chips are new as far as I am concerned. I do think though that it is just a matter of time before BetUS disappears, I just dont think they are going to be the first ones to go down but then again it probably depends on who the owners bet on for the Super Bowl

One comment though, ever since BetUS found out I was a forum player they stopped calling me and sending me those special offers. I am also a Bonus Scalper or w.e. they call us and maybe they found out, but again they always paid me.

You are right on. I believe you can't use it on big dogs either so it's value is about 25%, 6x. Not too bad. But...

BetUs changes+state of the industry+7 SB line=

I'd say the value is about 50%.

Right...I was looking at the 50% promo and cut the wrong number in half.

Skybook just did a 100 pct fp, up to 500 and paid out fine. Granted, Betus has a track record and regardless of this may jump ship.
However, the majority of bettors who have to do 6x WR and keep the funds in for 60 days (enough time to cover March Madness) will probably end up eating away their balance to the vig.
FWIW, I have not, and will never sign up at betus.

I have been playing with Bet911 for a couple of months. I took out two withdrawls totaling $3000. I then lost the rest of my balance (probably about $1500). They called me a few days after my balance hit zero and offered me 30% cash. I was not able to take them up on this offer over the weekend. Today they called and left a message offering me 50% cash. While I was very happy playing there and was paid quickly on both of my payouts I am hesitant to take advantage of this offer. With the state of the industry right now I am going to pass for now.

VIP Sports offers 100% all the time. They are a very solid book. Not up to $1000.00 bonus but, its usually around $200.00.
