Adamo,

Are you the same player from the PlatSB photo thread? Shoot me an email so we can call Arnie at BP.

I have not played there in a while but they left me a voice mail on February 2nd offering me a 30% cash bonus. The message said to call back and ask for Michael. I never called them. That may have been a sign that they needed money. You may want to call them and ask them the details of the 30% offer. Good luck!

Betplatinum and BetPSI are the same book.

PlatinumSB.com is an entirely different company.

Default Bet Platinum Not Paying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill, I am the one who posted a thread for other site.

After being promised payment everyday this week, they still have not come through. The reason given was a neteller issue and their limits. Another was, we are waiting for a third party.

Sounds like no funds to me!

However, I feel confident and like their book enough to remain loyal to them. But i wish they would throw some green backs my way

They have promised to pay me again, this time over the weekend. If they do not, I will send you my account information Bill.

Should a book with a similar name as book with payout problems change their name? All these Platinums can be confusing eh?

You are absolutely right Dave! I must admit I was lured by the 30% bonus they sent me in the email. However, didn't know they limit my wager to $50 each time. Wonder why

I too will post immediately should I get paid.

Thanks Dave.

Should I keep at them at Live help????

Hey guys...

A couple of interesting issues and questions here. If this is PlatinumSB who is slow paying I would be VERY surprised! Ali and his team are old school and I beleive he would meet you in the parking lot behind the McDonalds with an envelope before he would ever slow pay you. That of course is my unsolicited opinion.

"Should a book with a similar name as book with payout problems change their name? All these Platinums can be confusing eh?" I think the old Big Nasa little Nasa relationship is a perfect example of this question. The "Big" Nasa was plugging millions into their marketing budget every year and then "Little" Nasa was getting the trickle down effect of "Big" Nasa's marketing efforts. It made a lot of sense for "Big" Nasa to switch names to BetOnSports.

Im happy to continue using their book.

I think rollover is based on ur winnings not the amount u bet. Have a chat to customer service.
Thanks Bill for contact betplatinum for a couple of us, keep up the GREAT work!

Hmmm...I think their rollovers are based on the amount you bet. FYI I'm currently 4/5th the way through a 10x rollover with them, having succumbed to their $125 matching bet promo last week. This rollover is based on the amount wagered.

I just received a phone call from Bet Platinum. They offered me a 50% cash bonus on a Neteller payment or a 30% cash bonus on a Western Union deposit. Deposits had to be for $500.
Bill
What are your feelings on this?

Catsfan,

It sounds like they need some cash in Neteller and are dialing for dollars. Mgt. mentioned needing to move some cash around because the 30% promo prompted a lot of players to hit and run using Neteller, depleting the merchant account.

The 50% offer is suspect considering they admitted the 30% was responsible for large losses. Although players were paid and this is probably just a case of a small book readjusting to the time of the year, it is never a good sign to see big bonus offers after a batch of slow-pays.

Pass on the offer.

I played at Bet Platinum a couple different times in the past. Both times I was left with a bad taste in my mouth. Decent but unspectacular value, but the headaches easily outweighed the value so I never went back.

The first time they were slow on at least one, and if I remember correctly two, payouts. Not super slow, as in I was waiting months for my money, but more like it took them a week to do what almost all books would have done in 24 hours or less. The second time, when I made a payout to zero out my account, it took maybe a couple days longer than it should have, plus they tacked on a fee after telling me it would be free under their rules. It was too piddly to fight with them about, but that just confirmed for me it was a chickenshit operation.

They also can be pretty aggressive in calling to try to get you to come back, which I know is a practice a lot of people hate. It only bothers me a little, as I just hang up.

Basically a crap book. Good luck to all trying to get paid.
