It's a new advertiser on Covers.

Anybody ever heard of them?

Are they claiming to be affiliated with the NFL? They are certainly implying it in their press release.

Unbelievable!

[bigboydan]

I bet the NFL would love this if they seen it JC.

I wouldn't place much value on the fact that they are advertising at Covers.

Covers is not known for its standards. In my experience, if there is a problem with a Covers advertiser, they don't give a flying crap.

Covers just takes the money and washes their hands of it.

Covers just takes the money and washes their hands of it.

That was pretty obvious by the sportsbook.com ads Mudcat.

[jjgold]

never heard of them

[bookie]

Obviously they're new and obviously they're unsavory...I was more interested if anyone knew any of the backstory.

Here is one email I sent to them and I never got a response. Sorry no screen shot.

I had to post a double big blind. The first big blind I posted had no callers. Your software then had me post another big blind. Here is a screen shot of the second big blind which will give you the game number. I had the same thing happened to me while playing on Jungle, a skin of yours, but I did not contact support.

[jolub]

Your rake requirements are impossible for me to make. I’m not even going to try. Plus you never answered yesterday’s email which indicates to me that you have poor or no support. Put this all together and you’re not a site I want to deposit money with. Thanks for the free game with all the terrible cards that ended in a bad beat but I’m not for you. Good luck in your business.
