Default Any updates on Bet Royal?

It was about a month ago we had this warning:

at death's door

For anyone who doesn't want to go through that, here is a summary:

The owner of BetRoyal is a convicted swindler who spent time in a federal prison in the USA. He now applies his trade off-shore. Nevtej Kohli is his name. Stay away from this crook.

I'm surprised to hear all this talk about BetRoyal going down the tubes. I have an account there and so do two of my friends. We have all been paid everytime we requested a payout - though to get the free monthly payout, you have to wait between 5-10 days for the accounting department to process it. Does it take that long - NOPE, but in the end, they do come up with the control number after 10 business days.

The real surprise about all this talk about not paying and going under is the fact that they offer poker on their site and at all times of the day, there are at least 4,000 players on their dedicated poker site - they aren't one of those sites that sends it's players to a bigger more known site. We all know the kind of profits these poker sites are bringing so they would have to be flat out getting killed at the sportsbook part of the operation to be going under.

What am I missing here?

What you are missing is all the bad feedback about BetRoyal going back years.

Thanks for joining up to give us the great news about your account and your friends but .... if you have been there so long, etc ... surely you must know they are scoundrels of the highest order.

Only a nutter would trust them IMHO.

Are you sure they aren't part of a network? I would be very surprised if they could go from 0 to 4000 in this short of time with just their own product.

Champbasi, it comes down to whether you are willing to play at a book were the owner has a history of stealilng funds by just shutting down his books and not paying. That is pretty much a fact. That said they have been paying reguarly and they did pay out around the Super Bowl without any huge issues. But when you play with a known scammer, you have no right to complain if he doesn't pay when so many books that will pay players.

Bet Royal is using Boss for Poker. Same network as e.g. Sportingbet, Bet & Win. That is the reason they got 4000 users at same time. Only a small proportion of those 4000 surely is logging in through Bet Royal.

I admit you guys know way more than I do about who owns a sportsbook and who runs one so I will trust what you guys have to say.

About the poker site, I guess I figured that because every poker table I sat at has the BetRoyal logo on the middle of it meant everyone there was coming through BetRoyal...BUT I guess it wouldn't be hard for the software to give each player a different logo even if they were playing at the same table - am I right???

Like I said, I've been with them for more than a year and have always gotten paid and I'l continue to protect myself and ask for the free monthly payout after winning streaks and never run up a high balance.

I'd love to continue to use Olympic and other more established names but with work blocking out lots of sites, I would hate to stop using BetRoyal and go back to the old days before internet of calling for a complete rundown of all the lines.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

First off, it has not been "years" as the lying scumbag Natrass likes to say. This is serious stuff. The convicted swindler has stolen millions from off-shore bettors. This is a fact. No one has said Bet Royal "is about to go under" as the poster Natrass is lying again.

As long as more money is coming in than going out, Nevtej will not pull the plug. He will eventually though. Sending $ to a convicted swindler is stupid. Do not recommend others to follow suit.

Did you actually read the posts here?

The Shrink was saying they were about to go under.

I'm sure you get a kick out of posting about BetRoyal on every gambling forum you can find but it would be really appreciated if you could bring something new to the party instead of the same tripe posted again and again.

We know that Tej isn't very good - we know he's a naughty boy. But come on, put a little bit of effort into it. If you're going to carry on with your crusade then why not come up with some new material?

Dude! Okay you don't like Royal - you're zealous - I get that - but what's with the attacks and name-calling on Nattrass.

He is saying that Royal has had years of bad feedback. I've been around for years and I can confirm that that is true (and I'm puzzled why you would dispute that. It seems right in line with your agenda.)

He is saying Only a nutter would trust them IMHO which is almost identical to you saying, Sending $ to a convicted swindler is stupid. He calls them scoundrels of the highest order.

I am hard-pressed to understand how you guys aren't on exactly the same side on this issue.
