    BETUS possibly planning to close up
    Heard this from my old account manager at BETUS. Cant know for sure, he is not at the head of the company or anything, but I just spoke with him 10 min ago. He just left BetUS for another book and told me that BetUS is planing to close its doors with customers funds soon. Again, this might not prove to be true but he has been very honest with me since day one and I would try to get my money out of there ASAP.

    I just got my March Madness Preview Guide. I think these guys spend too much of their resources on marketing.

        It wouldnt shock anyone. This book knows its next on the DOJ's list and has taken what seems to be effective counter measures. We have no new info to support the posters' claim. I'd lay heavy odds they won't pull the plug before April. Even if they do, they could go the route of VIP and not allow new US players.

          Saying your old book is about to close isn't exactly an uncommon agent tactic to drive money to their new book.

            I would be pleased to see these guys close up because they have stiffed some people that I know out of their funds, they are the ones that the DOJ should go after not Pinnacle or others that are honest books, they should go after the really bad ones that don't pay players their funds. I am thinking after March Madness is when they will do this though.

              No matter whether this rumor is true or not, BetUS isn't the kind of place you want to have money at.

                holy crap. i just found this website and i had no idea. i took betus for over 27k playing craps in their casino. i lost about 20k and withdrew 7600 but that was on 2/21 and i still havent seen my money. i talked to the manager and he told me their processors went down for like two weeks and would see my money 10-15 days after the 1st. thats supposedlly when all payouts got sent out. should i be worried. do you think i will even see my money at all. where else could i play craps for money with a 1000$ bet max or higher.ill keep you guys posted. matter of fact im going to chat with betus right now.

                  I dont know. Maybe 50/50, could go either way.

                    From what I hear it is a toss-up with them, I wouldn't trust them at all with anything, they are so bad from what I hear.

                      I will never understand why anyone would play casino games, let alone casino games online. The house edge given to the casinos guarantees the bettor will lose in the long run no matter what. No skill is involved at all. Would you play an imaginary game in which I offered you to predict heads or tails and I paid you 0.99 cents for each dollar wagered?

                            you can make quick hits on online casino's if you play fast. Of course if you stay there for 2 hrs playing blackjack you will lose. But if you play for a short period of time you can win money.

                              You got it wrong

                              I just talked to an executive at BetUS and was informed that BetUS is NOT closing its doors any time soon. They have no plans to close at all, actually.

                                Well there you have it. It's official. They are not closing, ever. BonnieBentley has confirmed it with them.

                                  I also read this article stating that Barney Frank, the democratic House Financial Services Committee chairman, is working on legislation to repeal the ban on online gambling in the US. Maybe this will ease your worries a bit:

                                    No new info on BetUS here in CR. They are very secretive nowdays but nothing wrong with that per se.

                                      Why would they close? They selectively decide when to pay. Hard to lose with that business model.

                                        I second that.

This is an entertainment site for entertainment purposes only, so if you want to withdrawal your money, you will be ENTERTAINED by all the lies and stories we will tell you on why you will never get paid."
