A word about Royal Sports

Cheezy is spot on. This is the third one of these threads praising the virtues of Royal. Now is it just me or is a pattern emerging here? Perhaps i am wrong and all is well, up is down etc etc...

tacomax · 08-18-06, 09:19 PM

How many of those threads did Cheezy start, though?

4 posts, 2 of them bigging up Royal. The jury's out, I won't post the picture just yet.

I just got a surprise from Bet Royal too. I played them for a little while about 8 months ago but quit because the payouts were so slow. Well, I got suckered back into them with a fat bonus they were offering and made a withdrawal last week. ( I know what you're thinking: slow payout once, shame on the book. slow payout twice, shame on the bettor for going back) They told me it would hit my Neteller in 24hr and I thought "ya right! It will probably take two weeks". I looked in my Neteller the next morning and there it was!

Maybe they are turning a corner.

Oh, OK.
Well now i'm convinced...

I too must give Royal credit,,,.I stopped playing there about two months ago after two years of ridiculous slow pays...I got burned by no juice and Bet Royal came to the plate...kudos....but where is the rest of the industry?

Bet Royal is one of the worst sportsbooks out there. The RX and EOG refuse their advertising dollars. What does that tell you? What a joke these shill jobs have become for this S-H-I-T book.

If you're going to continue with your script then make sure you get it right.

Since theRX and EOG took advertising dollars from BoS - that makes them a top book, right?

Good point Tacomax. But Im happy to forgive Royal if they continue this improvement

Me too. If Royal pull their finger out of their ass and actually translate their big userbase into a top quality book then that would be very good for the industry.

I have noticed some changes in recent times. They're not throwing around bonuses quite as insanely as in the past. That can certainly be seen as good; it's good management. But I did enjoy an insane bonus every once in awhile.

They have to improve their website though. Too many stalls and errors. It's the worst.

The Good news: Chester is quickly taking care of complaints coming in to SBR. The bad news: There are still complaints coming.

Chester has big plans and a good start going. He recognizes the problems and cause of those problems which is half the battle. But, Chester doesn't own Royal. He still has to sell the idea of doing business the right way. A few months earlier, BlueGrass Doug arrived at Royal as the man to turn things around. His stay lasted a few months.

Chester has been talking with us about some new policies which would be great for its players. There has already been some improvement overall. Players like Isetcap would make a good arguement against that.

Where are all the other books when this industry needs some stability???

Even after Royal shows up, time and time again, they still don't get the credit they are due.

Royal is going to work out deals with its advertisers. Fortunately, they came to the conclusion that it makes business sense to do this. For most books it won't be cost effective to give to other book's players when they can give to their own. It is nice to see at least some victims are getting coin back.

The important question is, would these complaints have been resolved internally at Royal if Chester hadn't been informed about them via SBR. If not, then he's doing less of a job of account management and more of the job of a PR representative.

That doesn't tell anyone anything. Those two have taken advertising dollars from the worst. They have no cull factor.

Here is some positive feedback from someone I know to be an actual player....

Dear Sirs,

I have some feedback regarding betroyal, that I hope hope you will find of use.

I have had an account at betroyal for quite a while, I have been winning and my balance has been high there for a long time which is why I have been requesting payouts for more than half a year. It has been a struggle to get even 1 payout to Neteller of 2500 in the past. But since Chester took over things have been running smoothly. When he heard I was missing payouts he personally called me to arrange a payment plan, this was 3-4 weeks ago, and so far they have honored the plan without any problems, in fact they are even a little bit ahead of schedule right now.

I am so relieved that I can now get money out according to a plan and not have to call, email and livechat every day to fight for it, and wanted to share the good news, if you want updates or more details on the situation please let me know.

Because of the company's shady reputation, I feel I have to ensure you that I am only writing you to offer what I think is breaking news to offer my help to the best and most helpful site for gamblers on the net, I have not received anything for writing this, dont expect anything, wont ask for anything, they dont even know that I am writing you.

Sincerely,

If Royal is spending, you will see them on the other forums again soon. These things go in cycles and it's just not their turn yet.

isetcap · 08-22-06, 08:25 PM

I would concur wholeheartedly with the individual who sent you this letter, Bill. When Chester came on board, everything was taken care of ahead of schedule. Now it remains to be seen if this is just the "honeymoon" period that a new manager often receives.

Chuck Sims · 08-22-06, 09:55 PM

As usual the poster "tacomax" is clueless. Whats new? If The RX and EOG are willing to take ad dollars from a crooked sportsbook like BOS but refuse to take ad money from BetRoyal, that would indicate they think BetRoyal is even worse.

tacomax, you ripped me for warning players about BetOnSports. Now in a ignorant way you start ripping me for warning players about BetRoyal. What is your problem? Is life that miserable for you?

I sincerely doubt that. The minute Royal extends an offer you will see this book at either or both sites mentioned. Not like they have been choosey in who can advertise these days.

Dearie me. I've mentioned before - if you want to continue your script (which is as painful as raiders' efforts despite being on the other end of the scale) then make sure your methods are spot on.

For instance, I'm looking at theRX forum and I don't see a single banner ad for Pinnacle. By your methods, Pinnacle is even worse than BoS, right? Good work, Columbo!

Chuck Sims · 08-23-06, 12:42 AM

tacomax, your stupidity is showing. Here are the facts: Pinnacle refused to re-up with The RX when they put up BOS as a "Platinum advertiser".

Fact 2. The RX took BetRoyal's ad banner down and refused their advertising. EOG/SHRINK posted that he turned down BetRoyal's ad money.

Now that you have been educated with the facts, will you please quit stalking me!!! Get a life, read a book, or something.

tacomax · 08-23-06, 12:50 AM

Glad you've finally fathomed the situation. Just because Royal don't advertise at theRX doesn't necessarily make tham a bad book. Agreed?

(I won't mention the fact that Royal don't advertise at EoG yet BoS did and BetUS do. That would just blow your mind. And your argument.)
