Default Beware Of Bet Royal

I Have Been Having Some Major Problems With Bet Royal Of Getting Ut Any Of My Money. I Recently Went On A Pretty Good Run, And Was Able To Get A Nice Bank Roll Built Up In My Account, And For The Last 4 Weeks Have Been Trying Any And Everything To Pull Money Out Of My Account, Needless To Say I Have Received $0. I Can't Say Enough Good Things About Bill At Sbr, I Gave Him A Call And He Was A Lot Of Help And Gave Me A Ton Of Information (most Of It Was Not Too Good About Bet Royal), But Was Atleast Willing To Try To Help Me Get What Is Mine. I Will Keep Those Updated As To The Staus Of This Withdraw Request For A Total Over $20,000. Would Appreciate Any Insight Or Advice From Those That Have Encountyered Any Problems

What a surprise. Another slow pay from this stiff book. Sota, if/when you get your payout from these people, don't ever send a cent to them again. This book is owned by Tej Kohli, currently the biggest thief offshore.

Good luck in getting your funds!

Payment processor not working? That's a new one.

I bet if you tried to deposit, the payment processor will work.

Don't play back the money. With luck from SBR, you will get your funds out.

have you heard one like this one TT...

i was talking to somebody in IRC one night. and, he told me he was stiffed by royal for $30,000. the excuse they used on him was that. sense he was a U.S. citezen, it be illegal for royal to pay him his money. so, he accepted a third of his balance and end his relationship with royal.

That's sickening BB. That excuse I have never heard before. Maybe, you can have these guys post at the site where the owner says Royal is a stand up company. Oh, i forgot, he will delete or distort it like he did our posts with Betus.

unfortunate,especially since i,m informed i,m one of their favorite clients and have had a great relationship with them in the past,of course they never owed me this much but did pay me 13000 in september,slowly.they have paid me down from 34000 to current balance of 22239,and im told i will be paid,so i dont want to burn bridge or scare away new depositors,but with payout like this royal can only expect to attract small,bonus based deposits-not large players.if money is tight they should tell everyone only 1 withdraw per month,max 2500 or something like that

TT, this guy never heard of these types of forums before. so, he didn't know any better at all. but, i advised him to check SBR's rating next time he's looking for a book.

checking sbr ratings before bonus hunting has helped me avoid companies like betgateway.i told rich coast when they first opened that i couldnt play there without a sbr rating,and nelson emailed me when he had one about a month later,now they are one of my favorite books.this is a tricks business,and i try to keep balances that will not kill me if stolen.i entered into a special deal with royal that resulted in the balance growing so high-big mistake,only hope richard honors our relationship

i need to enlighten everyone about my fears with bet royal.these concerns are mostly created by reading negative things at the forums,which,when the balances are large,can cause lack of sleep,etc...richard just called me after reading my last post and reminded me that royal has paid me over $32000 since last june and promised that i will be paid.i accept their payout policies of 2 per week and feel this is fair given the extra generous bonuses they offer.i have always been paid by royal and appreciate richards timely response to this latest concern brought on by this topic.there may be some slow pay issues,ownership concerns,etc...but the customer service ive received by jeff and richard,insights into steam plays,gifts,special deposit deals,etc...stand out as real to me and it is hard to tell where all the hate for betroyal comes from.in conclusion,thanks to richard for the phone call relaxing my fears and let it be known that i have no complaints

And you wonder why Royal isn't liked much around these forums?

Betroyal must be a good book - jjgold has upgraded them to a B-. The same rating as 5dimes.

There were grumblings through the grapevine that Royal would enter their 5th slow pay period in the past 2 years. Roberto reported that Tej was terribly mad at the mounting losses and only new deposits would be used for withdraw requests. Lets hope these are isolated. the whole tej/royal/slow pay thing is well known and does not seem very news worthy.
