    Default Info on Skybook and BetPhoenix

    They have that 100% bonus going on but i need info before i do any business with them first. I don't like the complaints as of lately from BetPhoenix. Can people confirm being paid from these guys?Or has anyone been stiffed?

    Crap and Crappier.

    100% Bonuses usually a red flag of some sort of problems to come.

    Hope that helps, bol with your choice.

    I have both betislands and justbet i just like to have as many options as i can. I thought maybe the 100% bonus would get me in there but from what u guys are saying i think i will pass.

    Anyone in the passed 3-4 months been paid by these guys??or stiffed? Betphx seems to have outstanding balances but maybe they got cleared up.

    They only give the 100% to proven losers so not that big of a red flag. But still that is pretty generous for a group that has had some struggles.

    ^ They're sending out emails.

    Unless you're depositing money you can afford to never get back? I'd stay away from BP. The things I've heard about them have progressively gotten worse in the last year.

    I'm just waiting for them to start stiffing.

    May want to avoid this offer to stay on the safe side.

    Per Matt at OSGA-"They never stiffed anyone." The problem is, however, that the personnel are a bunch of stiffs. OSGA has them as a Premier sportsbook. With football coming up, the nickel juice attracts me.

    OSGA sucks,if you don't think they'll pump a book for a dime you are sadly mistaken.

    Just collected my remaining balance from BP because of all the negativity. Got it in 11 days--fastest payout from them in my 2 years there. Go figure.

    Hmmm. I also received an immediate payout a couple of months ago. Free via person to person, after I requested a check. They called me the day after the request to inform me that checks were taking longer than the listed time frame, so if I wanted they would send it p2p right away, and did. I was prepared to re-up, when the BP slowpay threads started, so I have been sitting on the sidelines for the last couple of months waiting to see how things go. Right now, I am not getting much info!

    Its worth a shot for me now since they have that 100% bonus, as long as i get paid i don't mind the wait. As long as people are getting paid and not stiffed then it works for me.

    For US players they seem to pay in the same time frame as other books. The slow pay reports I have seen are coming from European e-wallet players. If you are a player who can get paid via person to person or through something other than e-wallet methods, then it is a good offer to take at moderate amounts.

    Operation seems to be in trouble. If you went on a good run I don't know for sure that you would be paid.

    And if we dig out some older posts, iam sure we can find the "Nooo Betphx doesn't need a history of successful years, B+ is just the correct rating for this book with a lot of great ideas and this cool looking building" bullshit.
    Well i guess noone will fall for newcomers with high ratings again.

    While I agree with your point of why these newcomers get their high rating,when the one big backer of this book left,they were left with nothing.Kind of hard to predict that but still doesn't excuse these ratings some of these shitholes get with no history.
