There is no way those guys who were on payment plans for high 5 figures/6 figures deposited anything close to that and I'd bet most guys here didn't either thanks to the half point, bonuses and freeplays. Doesn't make the situation any better but I think some people are convinced there was 1.5 million worth of deposits sitting in an account that Jon ran away with which is ridiculous. Bloody book didn't even take non US residents or CC deposits.

    Not that much. I have friends that worked there and quit when some things starting going wrong. I also know that when someone left 200 k which was the previous weeks deposits went missing
    I am pretty sure that money from what I heard will be opening a new book soon

    So now you're upset at the thread he posted in? And why would he say anything like I said? The thread is about something completely different. It seems like you're just looking for things to pick at after saying I must've missed posts but then admitting you were the one who actually did. Although you even posted in the thread after John. So it's probably best if we just end the conversation and walk away believing whatever it is we do.

    Ok so if someone ran off with 200k and has the balls to start a new book, we can only hope that word spreads quickly as to what it is. I find that a bit hard to believe but I guess nothing's surprising these days. You'd think someone wouldn't even dare though.

    And honestly I am done with the situation. I lost a lot of money but keeping things in perspective I still hace my son which some people won't have this Christmas. I really went out on a limb and put a lot of sensitive info out there but I felt people needed to know. I also know bill had been contacting betislands and having meetings with them 2 weeks before this went down do even though I don't blame sbr for this, I blame them for not telling people earlier. It wouldn't of changed the outcome but they would of looked better. I have waited and waited for sbr to give a apology but just like any other time they take the stance of your business can leave here and sbr still will be profitable so fk you. So it is what is and I move on. Life won't end over this but my trusting of this site or some mods I had a lot of trust for did. I feel if I could find out as much info as I did that they have to have twice as much. People just want to know what happened that's all
    Anyways I hope everyone has a merry Christmas and hope this never happens again
    Make sure you kiss your kids this christmas

If I knew that tattoo kid was Jon, I would have not sent single cent to that place.. especially that video where they were going to costa rican whore house... low life fukks..

    Hey Shari, my only question with respect to the "Jon" ownership role is why did Justin refer to him as owner?

    That isn't even directed toward you, I wish Justin would answer that, but he won't seem to address it.

    Twist what I'm saying all you want but anyone with a brain gets it. If a business is taking in less revenue than it owes, once its cash reserves are gone they're in trouble. Either they find a saviour to inject cash to pay the debts or they fold. Doesn't matter what kind of business. And like I said, doesn't make the situation any better but it's reality. Anyway, I'm not going to argue Business 101. Kind of pointless.

    I understand what you are saying but .... It doesn't mean that a person that deposits $500 then runs. That $500 up to $15k isn't any less entitled to $15k....

    That is the gambling industry right? U win u collect? U lose, ur out...

    Exactly.

    People, when you send your $ into an offshore book, YOU are responsible. There's no legal recourse for you. You want to gamble, so you take the risks. You only have yourself to blame when a book closes up shop and you are left without your $.

    Even jon posted on the forum that he is the founder and owner of bi.

    Sbr confirmed it but now jihn and jon are saying that he was just the gm. What a joke.

    This fukkin walking stick of artwork ain't take shit from anybody. Kid is just a con pawn. Now then, he wasn't overtly honest about the situation, nor was anyone here but the fukkin DOJ fixxed Bet Islands and its illicit customer base.

    I got more news for you. Bambi wasn't a bankrobber.
    If this is true,

    Any deposits accepted after the date of the "SWEEP" were knowingly and willingly THEFT by deception, period....................
