It is a hell of a business plan. Give everyone 50% cash sign-up bonuses and have software that won't take bets for football.

That's what I was thinking. Went to make a bet after I got the line loaded and then it crapped out going to the confirmation screen, in the end I didn't get it up before game time. While I've almost rolled over 3x once I hit there I can get my winnings out anyways.

at 1:15 everything loads quickly and perfectly.

It is very obvious that Justbet are scared of real action, with the lame $500 limits, full juice and bonuses that have several months hold on your deposit.

What good is a bonus if you find nothing good to bet on, and it is also annoying that you have to keep cash there for months..

What good is any bonus? I hate bonuses! I prefer to move my money in and out at will and not have to read the fine print! Good luck all!

Yeah justbet has been slow for me as well.

They need to buy more servers or whatever your suppose to do to get the site running faster.

It makes me scratch my head sometimes. As frustrating as it is, I'm sure it's not a business decision to have software that won't take football bets at crunch time. It's got to be just as frustrating for them. They want those football bets.

Sometimes I wonder what research these sportsbooks do on their software before they decide to go with it. Even at the best of times, the JustBet software is clunky. I could tell that the first day I used it.

There are so many sportsbooks that have software that works. You would think a new sportsbook would just basically copy something that works.

this was posted at another site:

Regarding the problems connecting to JustBet.com...this was certainly a problem today for our customers. There was a substantial boost in bandwidth that was added Friday evening from our provider. This obviously did not alleviate the problem and our customers again had a very difficult time navigating through JustBet.com and placing wagers today. Very disappointing!

When it became evident the problem was not completely related to increased traffic earlier today, 2 outside specialists were brought in to help our technicians solve this. We also brought in a head technician from another top sportsbook in the industry that runs the same software systems we do and had similar challenges last football season.

Our troubleshooting team are implementing all of the changes thought to be necessary now and will continue to work through the night until everything is in place for our customers to wager smoothly Sunday.

I would urge customers to execute online wagers tomorrow and let me know if they experience problems. Any feedback will help.

I can understand and appreciate your readership being disappointed with our service today. We will do our level best here at JustBet.com to continually improve our services.

As for the poster that expressed frustration regarding a payout, please have this customer contact me. I would like to follow up on this myself and make sure this customer is treated fairly.

Thanks again.

Best Regards,

Gary Thomson
