For the record, I too am one of the unlucky one's who hasnt gotten paid. Spent the night doing research...amazing how hard it is to find info on a private company! I simply want to find out "who" the management team (or person) is...cant find anything on the net!
Anyways...my request for a measly $400 was sent March 19th. I have a few friends that are trying to get money as well, ranging from 1,000 to $20K. Received email that the money was sent on March 22nd. Of course, I still havent received anything. I have called about once a week since the beginning of April, sometimes twice a week. Same stupid answers all of you guys are getting. I even asked for the name/number of the processor...the person didnt know. answer: "that comes out of Europe".
I am encouraged that some people are actually posting/getting paid. However, my biggest fear is that the company will just shut the doors.
Here is what I see:
Jazette buys the sportsbook.com name/book or business for $1.00. Company also assumes 13 million in debt as part of said purchase. Company agrees to only take bets from US customers, and customers in South/Latin America (they are not allowed to take bets from Canada and European bettors as part of the sales agreement).
George W signs bill, and many American bettors get scared and stop depositing money. Monthly payment on said 13 million comes around, and around, and around. Sportsbook.Com starts to realize...."oh crap, we dont have enough deposits and/or action to pay off the monthly note!
Cash flow problem here we come....
With a initial investment of only $1.00, what is the incentive to Jazette to continue to try to fund Sportsbook.com? The 13 million debt? Doubtful.
Really, their customers are a dying breed as long as the US govt. continues to have a stronghold on money transfers. Without the ability to take bets from anybody else outside of the US...they are screwed! (
I dont count on bettors from Mexico or Nicaragua to be a consistent source of income, do you?)
