Default BETUS is CHANGING THEIR WAYS

Ok, hello everyone. I am new to the online betting of sports. I used to have a bookie but i'm not sure what happened to him. So with out really researching I went and signed up to BetUs.com. I deposited 75 dollars using a CC. I parlayed that into 2100 dollars in 4 days. I asked for a payout and they said please send of documentation. I was very hesitate to do that but I read somewhere that this is normal. So I did. This Monday I asked for the pay out via wire. They said no problem. I just received the money today which I think is a great turn around. It did cost me 40 to withdraw using the wire transfer which I'm not to happy about, but all and all BETUS.com did a great job. Also they have a large amount of sports to bet on. Also they if you like betting on dawgs they raise the favs about 1 to 2 pts higher on major matches up in football.

I will be replying to this post if anyone has any questions or comments.

Thanks,

Me

Tonight's to-do list.....

*Pester the missus for a little pre-game action.....
*Grab the remote and flip back and forth between the NLCS and the Cincy-South Florida game.....
*Surrender to the overwhelming desire to join up with a sportbook watchdog site and publicly toss-off to BetUS with Post #01.....

I'm not trying to sell anything. I was just telling my story. Yes this is my first post in this place. The reason I know all about BETUS.com is bc after I won that money I started looking at reviews. I was worried about getting paid. I even said I didnt like the 40dollars to withdraw my money.

I could careless who anyone bets with I just wanted to get my story out there that I got paid.

Sorry guys

Changing their ways?
I was a loyal customer at betus for about three years. I never had any major issues and they have always paid me quickly and legitimately. However they have always had minor technical issues. The website would often shut down or not display things properly which can usually be fixed by logout then back in. Recently the betus casino error and took from my real account while in fun mode. The display function properly while playing but all of the sudden my account was nearly gone. I logged out then back in and my money was back. A weird and scary error so i Decided to call betus and inform them of all the tech problems. When I called they said this was no error and my money was gone, I quickly logged back in and my money was now gone again. They insist there was no technical problem although they admit that sometimes the system overloads and causes the other tech problems.

This is the only problem I have had in 3 years but obviously a pretty big one and their handling of it has been strange.

I hope you're assessment is accurate. I joined Betus last month and have read nothing but caca about it ever since.

They were very quick to take a deposit from me over the phone with just me DC no questions asked. But to make a withdrawal "for my protection" I need to fax a copy of my driver's license and CC which I don't want to do. Is this standard operating procedure for online book makers?

Also, I'm curious how you made 2800% on your money in 4 days, do tell.

It is perfectly safe to send this most if not all online books will ask for ID they just want to make sure you are who you say you are.

I took them for 7k on parlays during foots/baseball 2 years ago? Maybe 3... back then they did not have 40.00 withdrawals...they begged me to deposit with them again just recently...with 100% match I still said no they quoted 80.00 withdrawal fee's.

BETUS has a horrible history, just because you got paid for 2 parlays doesn't mean anything to repair that history. It just means your lucky you didn't have to go through an ordeal to get paid.

BetUS charges 2% for wire withdrawls! He probably withdrew his 2k at 2% fee which is $40.
I know because i withdrawl with them through wire all the time. The min. fee for wire is $25 though.

If you read and follow payout instructions you will have no problem with withdrawls.
Looks like some of you can't do that and that is why you get screwed. Amazing how someone can have something happen to them like 3 years ago for their own fault and then say a sportsbook is shit.

Ive played with BETUS long before I found this site and read the bad reviews. Ive never encountered a problem with BETUS and ive cashed out lots of times, both small and large withdrawls.

If you got screwed in the past, then you must deserve to get screwed for being stupid and not being able to follow instructions.

i've pulled some decent coin out of that book. Apart from the usual delay tactics re document/id antics I got paid then promptly closed my account. the bad writeups spooked me. that said, they treated me ok. No real complaints.

BetUS DOES charge $40 to withdraw, that part is accurate. And, yes, they are HUGE on playing the "delay game" for ID/CC authorization forms etc. but apart from that, they've been solid to me.

I have asked them via e-mail about a month ago whether is that possible to make the payout to my moneybookers account. They answered positively, and the payment arrived about 4 days later. Now I'm requesting another payout, this time things are not that smooth, I haven't got an answer to my e-mails, but hoping everything will be ok.

I agree with the post above. My first book was with BetUS and thought they were alright (although I didn't know up from down at the time) I won and requested my first $2,500 pay-out. They didn't respond to emails I sent when I requested my pay-out, and sure enough I blew the $2,500 along with my initial deposit. If different now good for them, but personally I'd need to hear from many more players without 1 or 2 posts.
