Betislands Is Officially Done

**iceminers26** · 12-18-12, 03:51 PM

This is pretty disturbing, I honestly thought Jon and BI were legit and more importantly, SBR. A sad sad story if a miracle doesn't come along and save all the players' funds. Will comment more when more info becomes available, until then best of luck to all players.

In addition, SBR while you are pulling off the biggest debacle since the Covers/BetEd Shitshow.. I don't think its a good idea for your top employees to be posting contest picks for a stupid pts contest while your posters are sitting here clueless and funds gone with the lack of info you provided them... what a joke.

Not a single serious American player does.

Listening to you post about stiffing and what is right and wrong is rather funny and ironic

**SplitAces** · 12-18-12, 05:55 PM

My threads being deleted or merged the f out of here.......funny when it about SBR puff-they disappear.

BetIslands to close with player funds
12.18.2012 (12:10 PM CST)

BetIslands Sportsbook is no longer solvent. The sportsbook has lost its financial backer. Contingency plans have proved to be nonexistent. Player balances are estimated to be in the amount of 1.5 million dollars.

Greed , extortion, fraud, lies, and worse, thanks SBR admin

**k13** · 12-18-12, 06:17 PM

I looked at their withdrawal options long time ago and never once thought about playing there.

Sucks for everyone who's got money tied up there but not sure why so many people on here thought so highly of them. Looked like a Mickey Mouse shop to me.

Too many stiffs in this world.

**BeatTheJerk** · 12-18-12, 06:23 PM

SBR rating Don't Follow .....

**tblues2005** · 12-18-12, 06:24 PM

with 1.5 million dollars there that's a pretty large amount. That's a shame also.

What did you want bank wires? I made 20k off them about but still sucks to get stiffed small and they were a great out. Weird though just a couple weeks ago they would not give me a deposit bonus so this was a real last minute decision to stiff, If they wanted to rob me would of offered a nice bonus.

**ttrace35** · 12-18-12, 07:16 PM

I Wonder if Kelly is still taking deposits?

**Speedy88** · 12-18-12, 07:22 PM

WTFFF....I have over $500 sitting in there. Haven't made a bet with them in a couple weeks because i've been using a local. But wtf..are these guys finished?

**DennisGreen** · 12-18-12, 07:24 PM

Glad I only used a freeplay there

Had guys calling me from there once a week leaving a message about deposit bonuses for two months straight. Should have known something was up. Most books aren't that aggressive from my experience.

C C , m b, w u , i n s t a d e b i t, n t, wires, cheques, paypal, everything.

The less options a book has, the less they want players to be cashing out with ease.

You were spot on.....you got bashed initially, but unfortunately proven right.

**tblues2005** · 12-18-12, 08:05 PM

Your right tracer. Good job on this one!

**Speedy88** · 12-18-12, 08:08 PM

Just chatted with betislands on live chat. They said they are currently looking for a new financial backer. Not holding my breath. Why would anyone want to back an offshore sportsbook that is waist deep in debt?

Good luck with that. I am for sure not thinking this isn't a good thing at all period. I hope things get better but I am not counting on it though.

**Speedy88** · 12-18-12, 08:17 PM

Does anyone know any big-time dumb square bettors? Convince them to deposit BIG with BI. We need BI to get some money back so they can pay us out.
