    Default BetOnUSA loses players' pending wagers to go with reports of missing withdraws

    BetOnUSA (SBR rating D) loses players' pending wagers to go with multiple reports of missing withdrawal requests after switching from the Sportsbook.com platform. This is not uncommon for the operations involved. Some users saw their pending wagers and accounts deleted when Sportingbet PLC sold its American-focused brands to Jazette Enterprises Ltd.

    Player:
    Please be advised that BetOnUSA sportsbook changed their software and basically dumped all pre-existing wagers. In April I had bet $500 on the NY Mets to win the World Series. The ticket had been in my pending wagers all summer until they dumped everyone's accounts and made us set them up again. To add insult to injury they have the audacity to say there was no bet made, then changed their story to say the bet had been rejected when I originally placed it! That is ridiculous on so many levels...why would they reject such a future wager?...Why would they proceed to take $500 out of my account...etc. It looks like I am getting scammed here, but I would really appreciate if you could warn all of your subscribers that BetOnUSA.com is a scam and to stick with the sites that SBR recommends.

    That's why I've started screen capturing every bet I make. Best investment I've ever made.

    the sad part is every time I talk to support they confirm that my full amount is there. But I'm still in verifications waiting for my account to be active

    It seems BetOnUSA and Sportsbook.com group are still sorting out what was on whose books. One player is being told his pending bet is still under Sportsbetting.com so he may end up with 2 accounts.

    (sportsbetting.com serviced some BetOnusa.com players while the data was being ported over.)
