ok guys i am going put this out there because i am so upset. I just lost quite a bit of money. I am not going mention names as i promised to protect his identity. Believe me or not i dont care but as you know i am a huge supporter of this book and have no reason to lie. I got a call tonight telling me basically noone is getting paid. Basically jon or sslp as some of you know him (yes thats him) was never in charge but merely a marketing person or a front man for this book. He was also stealing money off the top. They have some big sharp betters that jon was getting percentages or deposits also. Jon lost his financial backing a few weeks ago and was scrambling to get new one but never could. I guess thats when he decided to get as many deposits as he could and skip town and go into hiding which is why you dont see him anymore. As most know he is a cocaine addict. A manager at betislands today which is not hard to figure out who told everyone they could leave or work for free for now on and they were suppose to try to take dpeosits and keep telling people they are having processor issues and delaying payouts. A lot of the staff did not want to do this so they left. Sbr knew about this a week or so ago but didnt want to comment until they could find out legal info, but i think because they were still getting that 20 percent bonus from our deposits. I am sorry sbr but i am pissed at hell at you and you should be ashamed. Anyways, There processors had over a million dollars and its all gone with jon. the processors cant pay out anything without jons approval anyway which they cant get because he isnt there. Ryan is basically covering for jon. He doesnt talk to him he is just saying this over and over. He told me they might pay out a very small amount but dont hold your breath. He said they did pay out 3 or 4 people last week but that was it. I dont know what else to say guys but i am sorry for everyone that had money there. I hope a miracle comes and we all get paid but its not going happen i am afraid. I feel like an complete idiot because i always backed this book 100 percent.
sad to hear but i don't think anyone is surprised at this point

I talked to 'Ryan' in chat and asked him to tell me honestly, no BS, if he thought there was a chance that nobody would get paid..all he said was that he has known Jon for 4 years and he didn't think Jon would do that to him..last week he would have acted completely different..he would have been quick to say it was only a processor issue and things would be back to normal quickly. I had a bad feeling this would happen and yet i cant believe this is fukcing happening.
Hey Jason, I pretty much asked same thing to Ryan and he gave me same answer.. i think betisland is done... we won't see any money and Jon scammed us.. thing I don't understand is they merged with ezstreet because betislands had financial issues. if this is the case, why the hell ezstreet not spending their money to pay us?? now that they are same company?? this is just totally frustrating.

Well I guess sbr will pay back most of the money considering they took 20% of deposits even after they knew the place was bankrupt.

Unfortunately, this looks to be the case now....

i wasnt going post it but this is a very bad day for me. I am pissed at betislands,sbr,jon ryan and myself for being so stupid as keeping a large balance there. I just dont want people keeping hope. I had hope until i got the call and then i called ryan and he told me he just talk to jon and payouts where still coming tonight and i knew he was lying.

I can answer that, we will all waste a few minutes filling out a complaint..but i think we should do it anyway..i think our only hope is that another book would buy them out, but i think thats a longshot.

since when does SBR or any of these affiliated dogshit costa rican books care about morality? the really sad thing is hearing how much blind trust you folks have given to all these 'good' people.

If BetIslands were going under, wouldn't they want to be accepting as many deposits as they could to stay afloat? The fact that they can't take deposits nor pay anybody out leads me to believe that it is processor issues.

I know im not in a position to be complaining, but pennies on the dollar with a rollover doesn't excite me in the least.

I just won over time. I never really deposited money there, but all the time it took to win that money, is what I lost. that is the worst part about it. For me it is the time it took to get that balance built up. Fortunately I have a good job and this is only a minor set back, but still 4100 sucks to lose.
