Yea, with $30,000 you get into the danger zone. Once you are well into the 5 figures it becomes profitable for them to take the PR hits and wiggle out of some or all of the money they owe. Send us an email if you would like so we can see what our contacts who were kept from the previous version of BetRoyal have to say.

Funny, I just never thought of myself as a "big" player.

I don't know how much you are betting but in a lot of these situations small players become big winners.

My minimum bet is $100, my maximum bet is $4000. I guess my average bet is $500. I usually bet 5-10 bets per day of all different sizes. I would guess my card each day puts about $5000 up in total bets. Days when there is a big play going I might put $8,000 in total bets up. Some days are light, maybe 5-6 small plays with $2,000 in total bets. Like I said small potatoes.

Where does this stand? Are they stiffing you?

Please take this over to the Rx to warn others. They have a silly policy that people can only post first hand experiences.

The Rx is therxforum.com. SBG is a coveted sponsor there but its unlikely they will allow a sponsor complaint.

The main forum, but moderator Wil the Shill or some other mod will likely jump on you, or the post will be moved to the Rubber Room, or whatever they call it. That's if SBG is still a sponsor there

I don't think they will move a first perason complaint. They may change the title.

PS. my email addys are right below my user name on the left of this post.

I noticed that SBG Global is one of your sponsors. SBG Global owns Bet Royal. SBG Global routinely steals the winnings of players who win decent amounts. If you win a decent amount they will freeze your account and accuse you of fraud, while they "investigate". Only, the investigation won't include talking to you, which they will refuse to do when you call to find out why they have frozen your account.

I know this because they just did it to me. I know of 30 other people they have done this too also.

SBG Global is a deposit only book. If you win any significant amount they will rob you. Since Bet Royal is owned by SBG Global, and they use the same software and the same call center, Bet Royal will do that too. I have an account at both places, both accounts frozen while I am accused of fraud while they "investigate". Its a funny kind of investigation since they refuse to talk to me and have not contacted me in any way. I have nothing to hide and would be happy to give them any information they might need to "investigate".

Stay away from SBG Global and Bet Royal unless you like making deposits only and don't want to make withdrawals.
