    Wager Web is attempting to scam me $42,513
    On June 21, 2002 I funded my Wager Web(WW) account with a western union deposit of 10k. I was referred to WW by a friend of mine here in Arizona. I was really impressed with their 10c baseball lines and liked their unique bonus structure of no upfront bonus but one that was permanent. The bonus allowed me to get a 5% rebate on the net profit/loss each week. There were no restrictions on how many bets had to be placed or limits on the bet sizes. So, for example, the week of 7-15-02 / 7-21-02 I placed the following bets:
    Giants + 170 lost 5000
    Cards + 165 won 8250
    Brewers + 115 lost 5000
    Padres + 110 won 5500
    Tigers + 180 lost 5000
    Royals + 110 won 5500
    Phillies + 115 won 5750
    Padres + 180 won 9000
    Giants + 130 won 6500
    Orioles + 160 lost 5000
    White Sox + 115 lost 5000
    Rangers + 175 lost 5000
    Pirates + 125 won 6250
    Brewers + 165 lost 3378

    So for that week I netted + $13,372 and 5% of that = $669 which constituted the 5% bonus I received the Monday after the week ended. If I had lost $13,372 that week I would of received the same $669.

    On 7-18-02 my account balance had reached $47,500 so I requested my first payout for $25,000 via a cashiers check and I received it within a week and was hooked on WW from that moment on.

    I continued to play at WW for the next 4+ years, receiving payouts and depositing funds along the way with no issues. Then it all changed.

    Wed 11-8-06 I called wagering and they said my account was suspended and trasferred me to customer service and I spoke to Rose and she said my account was linked to other accounts that were on the 5% plan without offering any explanation.

    Fri 11-10-06 I called and spoke to Nina and she put me on hold and came back on the phone and told me that I would be getting an email from Dave on Monday.

    Mon 11-13-06 I was transfered to J.T. and he confirmed my email and said I would be getting an email later that night.

    Tues 11-14-06 I spoke with J.T. as I never got an email and he told me my account was unsuspended now and he apologized that it took so long. He said my account was fine for now, and I asked him "what do you mean for now." Would it would be suspended in the future," and he replied "no."

    Thur 11-16-06 I bet on Akron ML + 165 and lost $5000.

    Mon 11-20-06 I received 5% rebate for the week which amounted to $250 which brought my balance to a confirmed $52,513.

    Tues 11-21-06 I called to place a wager and a clerk named Lisa checked on my account and said it was suspended and that I would be receiving an email that night. I said "who is going to send me the email," and she replied "Kevin." Later I concluded Kevin and J.T. were the same person.

    Wed 11-22-06 I spoke to Lisa and told her I never got an email and she then informed me that I will get it soon. I asked for her to just tell me what the email says since it is so difficult to send it. She claimed she didn't know.

    Fri 11-24-06 I spoke to Paul and he said they are going to send me the email and that J.T. would be back in an hour. Well I called later and J.T. wasn't there.

    Sat 11-25-06 I spoke to Paul and told him I still haven't got an email. He said he would tell J.T. again tomorrow as he was gone for the day.

    This continued to go one for another week, all along while no one in management would get on the phone with me. I was just supposed to wait for a mysterious email to arrive.

    Mon 12-4-06 I spoke to Lisa and she spoke to Charlie who informed her that he was going to send an email now. I got the email shorlty after. I read it and about 10 minutes later I called for Charlie, as his name was on the bottom of the email and his title was Fraud Department Supervisor. Not surprisingly I was informed that Charlie, Dave, and J.T. were gone for the day.

    The email said I bet similar to some people with no explanation of how or what games, etc. Which would of been coincidental at best, as I bet my own plays for the most part and had been playing there for over four years without any issues. But now they throw this in my face. They offered three deals and the best by far put 5k in my pocket at that time and another 5k in my pocket just recently. So now I feel that WW owes me $42,513 and would like to solicit the help of the forums.

      WagerWeb and the players are at fault for a bad situation. The players, for doing things that would not pass industry standard TOS and Wagerweb for calling foul after 4 years. There was some private wheeling and dealing after the dispute which makes it all the more messy.

        I'm very sorry about your situation. But again, there is no point in playing with any book not rated A+. Why anyone would risk it....I just cannot understand. It blows my mind.

          It would appear to me that these situations are linked. The whole "process" appears to be the same as the other posters comments.

                I have been with Betus for over 5 years and have always been paid in a responable time. After March Madness I hit for $4,000 and because I dont do anything on Baseball I wanted to collect.
                So on April 2 I requested my $4,000. I have been going back and forth since. I have heard every excuse you could image. The money was taken out of my account May 3 and I was told I should have it "soon" two to three days. its been over 12.
                My question is does think Im going to see this money? Or is it they really are having a harder time processing payouts?

                Also besides just eating it is there any options?

                  Wagerweb offers great promotions but is very careful not to be abused...

                    If you're talking about that kind of money I agree you should stay with the A+ books. There are plenty of other books out there that are very safe if you are a small bettor.

                      aandwman -

                      I am investigating this "barrage" of disputes against Wagerweb. There were about 13 accounts with the 5% rebate you mentioned dating back to 2002. Wagerweb believes these accounts were "related".

                      would you please email me at justin@sportsbookreview.com with all information you have on this dispute?

                        Slear - Despite all the posts, Wagerweb has not had many complaints against them. In the last week, 2 "series" of complaints have emerged against them.

                        Your problem doesn't sound sound complicated - if there is nothing else to this, I would expect you to get your money fairly soon. If you like, I can contact Wagerweb for you. Feel free to write me with your details. You can also write assistance@sportsbookreview.com (which sends the complaint to Bill, and he assigns it to someone).
