hello is there astreet address with those pics? also TLD here is an interesting post from a popular poker forum twoplustwo.com which helped uncover the Absolute Scandal..


Re: ePassporte's Statement to Poker Sites

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This absolutely true... at least one of Absolute Pokers clients was contacted by the FBI for information regarding his transactions with Absolute Poker, Doyle's Room and a few sportsbooks related to Absolute scammer AJ Grimard called BetRuss Lazerwager which he is owed some money since january... and SBG Global.... so there obviously is something brewin; that may not be good. 60 Minutes is also on the case.... a double whammy....

Yes, they are either trying to use deposits to get out of the hole, borrowing from Peter to pay Paul, or are on a cash grab on the way out.

On Friday I received the form e-mail that has been posted elsewhere in the forums announcing that Lazerwager has resumed payouts. (I didn’t see it for over 48 hours, because I wasn’t online.)

I have not received a payout, or any kind of control number, tracking number, or any information regarding my payout that has been pending since January. I just got the non-specific e-mail that presumably went out to all their customers (or at least all their customers awaiting payouts).

I will call Lazerwager during business hours on Monday to see what they tell me.

I will be sure to post any updates regarding my situation.

(Thanks bigboydan for the mention in the other thread.)

Thanks TLD. They may be pulling a Cascade and sending the press release to parlay that into appearing to be a paying book. That would buy some time.

Hopefully the pressure on their other business is going to get you guys paid.

TLD, What was the latest excuse they gave to you when you called them this week?

Dan, on Monday they said they’d have a tracking number for me on Tuesday and the shipment with that number would go out Thursday. No explanation why they didn’t send it last Friday when payouts allegedly resumed.

On Tuesday they insisted they’d already given me my tracking number the previous day. When I insisted right back that they hadn’t, they gave it to me “again.” They said the shipment with that number would “probably,” “hopefully” go out Thursday or Friday of this week.

(There is no such number in the Fed Ex system yet.)

Independent of what’s been posted in the forums, I have communicated with one customer who has now received payment. The check was for less than half of his (January) withdrawal request. They told him it’s because they’re breaking the bigger payouts into weekly installments.

Whatever infusion of funds they got apparently wasn’t enough to cover all they owe, but they are at least dribbling some money out. So they’re not a total no-pay book any longer.

But I haven’t gotten anything yet.

i hope they follow through and pay you your winnings. I feel for you as all this gambling headaches are really not warranted.
To me gambling is an escape, and spices up ones life from the routines of our daily duties. Watching the game and hoping to cover is the only stress you should have . It really is very stressful to have to worry about being paid after you sweated out the bet. I hope others who read this Mb will stay clear of any company such as Lazer Wager as it takes the enjoyment out of gambling, which is why most of us sign up in the first place. Its nice to have a site like SBR so that we can share info and avoid the dead beat companies.
While we're posting about gambling does anyone have a good feel on the Derby? I liked the chalk Big Brown even though he was lightly raced,beat no real contenders and there is a lot of speed. However the 20 post has soured me on him.
I think the filly eightbelles has a shot and am looking forward to hear what others may think.
Good luck and I hope you get your winnings.

Ever since Lazerwager opened the word around town was that they were going to crash and burn.

It really does suck , I can imagine how it must feel to get screwed when you have a good win .

For whats it's worth I hit the Exacta good. It was tragic to see a great filly die. Thank G-d I bet with OTB and not with Lazer wager I guess I'd be collecting in Jan if I did. If they'd pay me at all. They would probably tell me that according to their rules no exacta could be paid if the 2nd horse dies before they make the race offical.

This made me laugh, mainly because its so true. It wouldn't surprise me to see a book come up with an excuse like that so they wouldn't have to pay nowadays.

Can't believe how the industry has crashed in the last yera and a half for the most part. Thank god for Betjamaica...

it made me laugh too, lazerwager always made sht up along the way like that. they had bad marketing as well like across the street their ads were downright weird. they were giving out a 22.5% sign up bonus and they had this white girl in the ad holding up her hands like she's measuring a dick and a black guy standing with his back to her and he's naked so you can see his ass. they had quite a discussion about this ad over there. i never signed up at LW because of this ad.

I was due a payout on 5/2/08. Never recieved it. The funny thing is they are calling friends of mine to deposit money. While I have cashed out most of my money they still hold a couple thousand and keep giving excuses for the last couple weeks on why they can't pay. Yet still continue to solicit new customers. Buyer beware. Bonus might be good but how good is it when they don't payout!
