BetUs processing has been pretty good since early July and they recently received a rare upgrade to D+. Be careful if the public goes on a run. That advice applies to a lot of books.

Why even bother with a D+ book though?

There are players, especially in the forums, who are willing to go in with an instant deposit like a credit card, and hit the book on one juicy line at a time and then try to leave. This was a lot easier when there was Neteller. The true forum veterans were able to make a lot of cash on some books they knew would inevitably fail like TOW rookie books, most notably, NoJuice Sports. They look at the start of the advertising campaign and how the book is doing and decide when to get out. It sounds crazy but when NoJuice is offering correlated parlays with bonuses, putting the hand in the gators mouth earned some good returns. It's a whole different ball game.

With BetUs, it's a BOS type of situation. The big risk now is getting jerked around on wagers vs. stiffed after the payout and of course if something large happened internally, would it be profitable for them to pay out vs. close?

I can't imagine why anyone would stick their hand in this alligator's mouth since the roll-over is big enough to make the supposedly big bonus not that big.

So the first thing I'd say if you're thinking about doing it is: Don't do it!

But some people like to play in front of trains, and if that's what you need to get going and you're not set on self-destruction I would offer two bits of advice.

Do your roll-over fast and at least withdraw some of it. That way you'll be sure they have all your paper work, and you'll know what it takes to get paid. Then when it's time to withdraw the rest it's a little harder for them to give you the run-around. If it's a second withdrawal sometimes the clerks can even do it on their own.

Second, if somebody signs you up jot his or her name down and ask if you can call him or her if you have any problem. Get a number. If it's somebody who has been there for a while they may be able to hurry along the paperwork without the people who put thier foot down even knowing about it (if the amount is under $5000).
