Up until this incident, BI had paid the bills and deserved the B rating they were given. They told everyone and SBR that payments would go out today and given their track record were given the benefit of the doubt. And they lied. Yes, lied. They knew the payments weren't going out today.

      However upon learning they didn't pay, SBR swiftly took down their banner and downgraded them. What else can SBR do?

      I think SBR has done fine here. As for their absence in this thread, it seems they're as in the dark as the rest of us and thats understandable. SBR isn't the problem. Betislands is the problem. Keep perspective here.

      SBR and their employees have mentioned how "solid" Jon and his backer were though. Now it looks like this place was run like a joke.

      I hope SBR is right about this mega whale backer.

                The posts are not hard to find. I read many of them before I deposited there the first time.

                              BetIslands sportsbook feedback

                              By: SBR | Tuesday, June 21, 2011



                              BetIslands sportsbook (SBR rating C+) players have submitted positive feedback in forum topic, 'BetIslands Sportsbook'. Players have commented that the Costa-Rica based sportsbook has extended good customer service and prompt payouts since coming under new ownership, and being assessed with a sportsbook rating earlier this year.

                              BetIslands is run by Jon Kreta— the former manager of WagerChief (SBR rating B-)—and is stationed in the Jazz Sports Group facility. Jazz provides BetIslands with hosting, wagering and IT support. BetIslands processing is run independentantly -- SBR has confirmed that BetIslands is backed by established bookmakers. BetIslands rating has been increased to C+.

                                  You mean why they did not downgrade them more?

                                          its a fair question...some books take almost a month to get you money and with more excuses.

                                                They are on an indian reservation..and those indians could give two shits about players.

                                                Bovada is big enough that you don't have to worry about them folding up and disappearing like a fart in the wind with player funds. You will get paid by Bovada without a doubt, just won't be same day like BI used to do when jon was running the show.

                                                  ok.. I officially lost all... have $50 in the account now.. I feel better since I don't have to chase them any more and I will just deposit @ heritage tomorrow... ppl who have under $1000 in the account should do same... if betislands start paying tomorrow, I will kick myself.. but highly doubt they will pay tomorrow.. and for now, I feel 100x better the fact that I just lost it while I played compare to betislands stealing my money...

                                                    It's an attractive bonus offer, period. All books that deal -110 will dangle the carrot with unique bonuses; BetIslands has verified their backing to SBR, their rating upgrades can partly be attributed to their financial security.

                                                    Sports betting and handicapping forum: discuss picks, odds, and predictions for upcoming games and results on latest bets.



                                                    Interesting thread to read now. I didn't deposit back then for the reasons I said in that thread, but after they survived a year and everyone was raving about them... well you know the rest.

                                                            Will be iinteresting to see what happens now, I have a decent amount of money in there (upper 4 figures) and I'm sure a lot of other people do too. Hopefully this gets cleared up because betislands was an ideal book before this mess.
