    Justin's top 4 Sportsbook theft cases
    1. SBG Global - $500k
    Bought out Royal, and zeroed out balances of a group of players.
    2. Sportsbook.com - over $200k (perhaps as high as $500k)
    Stole balances from all players that won correlated parlays; did not refund to losers as promised.
    3. Bet1128 - $100k Euros, or about $125k.
    Arbitrarily confiscated winnings and balances from players claiming the players were an "organized group" that was screwing up their advertising statistics
    4. BetSuperior - $120k
    Confiscated balance of winning casino player, claiming that it gave too many bonuses to the player, and that the player might have cheated.

    All of these sportsbooks are still operating (although BetSuperior is now BetSportsweb).

    How about Cascade? They have to be in the Top 5 (or worse 5 as the case may be).

        I thought about cascade, but I didn't handle any of those disputes. I think cacade is an F, and all these are non-"F" books (at least for now).

          VERY GOOD LIST.

          Wish someone would pin it.....

            I have a hard time understand how sportbook.com ONLY took 200K from players. If they did as indicated it would have to be much much more.

              Where would you rank BetChance, Justin? I know they pretty much screwed players over many different ways, including their bogus $.30 on the dollar bailout offer.

                Justin,

                Its absurd to suggest that Cascade was an F book. They were an "A- Book". Judging by this site, they should be far and away the biggest theft in both size and audacity.

                  Thremp,

                  This is my list of disputes I have personally investigated. Cascade went down before I came on board.

                      This is fair. Though a little more of a disclaimer might be in order

                        That's a good list of stiffs who all happen to still be in business. BetonUSA is a good one for that category as well any book in the EZ Sports Group.

                        As much as those were all uphill battles, Justin has hundreds of emails and calls invested. There have actually been some preliminary discussions on clearing the board with some of these but so far they all came down to wanting to essentially buy a higher rating.

                          These are the types of things that keep me from depositing a nice chunk of money into a overseas online book....
                          But I know at some point I will take the plunge with one of SBRs top rated sites. Just with the state of our economy and what we all have witnessed on Wall Street, anything is possible.

                            I think that's what the title "Justin's ..." was supposed to be

                                Great as a sportsbook.com player, I am relieved to hear that I have been waiting a month to get paid by some known crooks. I really hope that my money will get here at some point. For some reason im not so convinced though, I know many of you have been waiting longer than I but either way, I need my $2500 a.s.a.p. If you guys can help me please reply. Or if any1 has gotten paid recently using a check let me know. Or is it worth it to cancel and open a my wallet account?
