    They are pretty decent these days. Haven't seen a payout complaiont in a couple of years.

    That said, they have a history of issues, per SBR reports you should not have any problems, but if something weird goes on there there could be issues. I'd say it depends on what you want to do. If you are recreational, I'd skip them entirely. But, they do pay, and they offer lots of betting options.

    If you Google: "BetUS scam" you'll get multiple sites with guys bitching about BetUS and how long they take to pay (if they ever do). You only need a credit or DC to deposit money no questions asked but if you want to withdraw your winnings, good luck. Sounds like everyone gets the royal run-around.

    Thumbs down BetUS

    You do not read complaints here at SBR because everyone knows to stay away from them. They are crooks. The owners are thieves.

    i did some bonus whoring last year and got paid no problem, but they charged $50 for a check. for bonus whoring I'd hit and run, but for just playing I'd look elsewhere.

    I am not going to agree with you guys...they come a long way and very decent book now...bonuses are stupid, there are some not-too-good things about the line adjustments and stuff, but if you think a little bit than you can use this to your advantage as well...good book, safe, and very quick payouts wire 3-4 days and it is done...and by the way, if you want to deposit more, just ask and I am sure that you will be able to get 100% on any amount, 6x rollover...plus 100 or 50% on casino with 20x rollover...it worked great for me

    you said your self they are so good in line adjustment have you read also that they can delete your wager before or after you win it so where is the stability on that ... they will just keep on doing that to stall a player until they loss all there money ...

    I have been using them very carefully (keeping a low balance) for ~15 months and havent had any problems, but the ridiculous bonuses they are offering are a little concerning. Anyone with a little intelligence can rollover the bonuses and profit.

    Man you are telling that you are a "PRO" and can't figure out how to use the line adjustment in your favor?...all I am saying that they pay with no problem, yes the lines, juice and all the other shit is not the best in the industry...however deposits are easy and withdrawals are easy as well...plus if you like bonuses then they are the BEST in offering the bonuses...I personally do not take them, and just wait when they "adjust" another line for me so I can cash in big time...GL

    "good book, safe, and very quick payouts wire 3-4 days and it is done"

    I'll be sure to relay that to all the people BetUS has robbed, stiffed, stole, rippef-off.

    Amazing how people wear blinders when it comes to sending money to thieves. "Hey, they are safe, they paid me".

    I used them, and had no trouble. They have paid everyone for the last couple years.

    If this was directed toward me, I think you missed the tone of my post. I was trying to say that the ridiculous bonus they are offering concerns me a bit since I have $$ there. Anyone with a little intelligence can deposit $1-2k, roll over the bonus and cash out for a $1-2k profit. That's a lot of "free money" that could be difficult for them to pay come December.

    Also I'm hardly recreational, I have just kept my balance low enough that I can still take their money without risking too much if sh*t hits the fan.

    The "rollover" money isn't so free as the "bonus" money doesnt count in the rollover total...but the bonus money IS included in the 6X rollover

    Example you deposit 1,000 you get 1,000 bonus...you have to wager a total of 12,000 before you can request a payout, and your 1,00 in free wagers isnt included in the "totals"

    BTW... i've been with them a few years...a few payouts...not lightening fast but they do pay

    I have been using them for a couple of years now. I did have an issue earlier this year with slow payouts but that is it. They seem to have improved a lot and the payouts, while sometimes a little slow, are dependable.

    The cost of the payouts seem to be a little on the high side but I think they are fairly straight forward now with their payouts and can be trusted.

    However, I would still not keep more than $5000 to $10,000 with them.

    They are f-ing terrible. They take your money in 5 seconds but they won't give it back. They gave me a 50 dollar bonus then told me I had to roll over my money 10 times just on sportsbook. This is unbelievable. I would NEVER NEVER NEVER use them in 1000 years. They are thieves who are stealing peoples money. If anyone knows how to deal with them please help I would like money back.

    10 times rollover is alot, but for $50 is not that much. How much did you deposited??

    Will they pay back into a Moneybooers or Neteller accounts if you depoits through any of the two? or do they have issues withdrawing that way?

    The thing about books like this is that it will usually work out for you. But if something weird comes up, you are always at risk because their ownership will steal and make unjust decisions if it suits them.

    Bet Phoenix is an (A) rated book that offers the same bonus .I have had dealings with Betus and to be honest they give you the runaround if you happen to roll that money over .What I am saying is go for safety and take Betphoenix you get safety along with the same 100 percent match bonus and also better lines.I really don't see what people see in Betus . I left whenthey started delaying me for 5seconds until they changed the line on me

    I would rather be with Bet Phoenix also because they have been excellent to me. Not a problem so far that is.
