    "1. All bonuses are in the form of a free play with a 10x rollover."

    I'll asume we all understand how the free play works vs. a cash bonus, and the fact BetSportsWeb does not have a 20x rollover that simply, does not exist. However, its good to hear PEEP is otherwise happy with the book!

    Peep is on top of things, good work PEEP!

    HUH???

    I deposited $500.

    I played $5900 worth of rollover eligible bets.

    Too me it looks like I met my 10X rollover.

    I donno if "I know how things work", but I do have a question for you.

    Do you work there?

    Peep, sorry. I play straight without a bonus because I hate rollovers.

    I personally don't work there, but I play there and enjoy them. Like i have said a million times, you hate to see a solid operation that pays get blasted, and more importantly one that pays me and my friends.

    Also, when I first started posting at SBR (I also bet most major sports) one couldn't help, but see them get knocked. I was trying to bring some balance in a somewhat negative enviornment. In the end it dosen't really matter except to say its important that the playing ground is even and fair as much as possible. I of course want them to make it and everyone here wants to make sure you get paid and the book treats you fairly.
    Myself included.

    You can't help guys like Mudcat from over stating the obvious, that most new books run into trouble. I have stated over and over again that this sportsbook seems different and is my diamond in the rough. Most importantly, SBR wants people to understand the risk involved in newer operations so I am not shilling or telling anyone to bet there. I was hoping to add counter balance. I really wanted to see how your experience was to mine.

    Like I said before Peep, keep up the good work!

    Yeah, I don't mind the book at all.

    I wasn't even going to withdraw except I did tell the guys here that I would try a withdrawal to see how they paid.

    I can wait, just got to do another 5K rollover, their lines are OK, should be able to do it in a weekend or three.

    I still think people should proceed with caution and not let the flashy site put aside the fact that they are rated D and they owe a player $120,000

    I know St Aquinas is gonna come in and say how he doesnt know about this he has only gotten great service but all the bullshit aside everyone knows you work for them hell I know . Its pretty obvious your biased pots and bumping threads on them.

    Since day 1 you have only started threads on this book.

    Well why dont you answer to the betsuperior thread that owes a player $120.000

    Numbers speak louder than your 100 posts about this place and bottom line is the moderators of this very website say proceed with caution. And your rating kinda speaks for itself Karma does go around very fast .


    Some things you dont forget ST Aquinas specially when someone got fuct in the process
    LOL-sslp you are entertaining!

    Not that I have anything to prove here, but check my post and you will see that your statement is incorrect.

    CERTAINLY, This is becoming a bore.

    At first I couldn't figure your hard on with this place. I mean you have been in every thread about them since day 1. If St. Aquinas is considered a SHILL then you would be the ANTI-SHILL. I realize that I don't have that many post on this site but all you have to do is go to MW to see that I have been in this industry for quite some time.

    Poster SSLP (Sodomizing Suckass Loser Poster) is always calling out all shills with reference to this book. Everyone always has an agenda if they have less than 100 posts and they praise the book. Most of the time he may be right but what about the poster with 1800 posts and the hidden agenda.

    Since I don't know your name SSLP I will just call you "John". So tell me "John" my little tattood Croatian friend. Why would you care so much about this start up book? There are so many other books starting out but I rarely see you polluting their threads. Then I found out today when I was talking to a couple of associates. Your the piece of shit sales guy that got fired for colluding with the player in the 120k casino dispute. You got caught and got fired and now you figure you will get revenge by polluting the threads. I saw in some of your past threads that you speak of karma. I only hope you get yours one day.

    P.S. How is your latest scam adventure going with BFC? This book should be avoided at all costs if you have your hand in it.

    BTW I was not the sales guy just so you know.

    And I am not involved with any new books in fact a pretty nice A rated one .

    Until they we hear that they dont pay people I guess I might be barking and Betsportsweb isnt so bad after all

    Yeah, getting to be a real page turner.

    I can believe the 120K was a scam, not all that many $500 a hand/play three hands at once internet blackjack players that come out with two nickels to rub together.

    The player and book agreed on the 120k figure, and that it was $500/hand Blackjack. That's not in dispute.

    There were factual issues: did an employee give the player too much in bonuses? The player got a lot of bonuses, but he was a casino fiend - I could easily justify giving a player $20k in bonuses when he's putting in $1m per day in volume on an internet casino.

    The other factual issue: the book alleged that the employee rigged the game. While the employee raised the limits to $500/hand, there was no evidence of tampering with the game to give the player an advantage. I offered to review a 10,000 hand history to see if the player had an unfair advantage. This was declined. The book produced NO evidence that the player cheated or had an unfair advantage. Everything is consistent with catering to a big player who WILL lose in the casino, given enough time.

    I spent a lot of time on this investigation, and hope it gets reported officially soon. But let me be clear - the conclusion was a player was stiffed out of $120k, and the book grasped at straws to defend itself. Its defenses were ultimately based on facts it could not prove.

    The fact that the book wouldn't give you the 10,000 hand history speaks volumes IMO.

    Right now the book has gone complaint free for NFL which is when a book gets more deposits so that should show you something.

    Thats what I say I still am skeptical but hey like I said I might be wrong about them , so lets see what happens

    Hi Justin7,

    Is there an official update on the outcome of this situation? I noted your postings:

    5/6/2009 05:41 PM
    betsportsweb upgraded from D+ to C-

    11/6/2008 08:52 PM
    SBR Justin reports: BetSuperior (SBR rating D+) player balance confiscation
    On April 10th, an employee of BetSuperior enticed a large bettor he knew from working at a previous sportsbook, with a credit line of $5000. The player lost this in the casino, and paid off his debt to the house. Over the following two weeks, the player made additional deposits totaling $8500. He made some sports wagers but most of his action was in the BetSuperior casino. During that time, the player and the BetSuperior account representative corresponded numerous times about the casino. The player's limits were raised to $500 per hand, and the rules were adjusted to reduce the house edge to be more comparable to that of blackjack on the Las Vegas Strip. The player gave Superior high volume play, some nights putting over $1 million in action. During that period, the sportsbook gave him multiple bonuses totaling approximately $18,000. One of these bonuses was a $5,000 credit that was applied with no deposit requirements. At the end of the week two the player went on a significant winning streak bringing his balance up to $120,000. The sportsbook then confiscated the balance. BetSuperior management claimed that the sportsbook employee, who was managing the account and authorized to give bonuses, should not have applied these bonuses and that the player's balance would be reduced to zero as a result. BetSuperior also claimed that the player and employee were in cahoots, and cheated at Blackjack by modifying the software. No proof of this claim was offered, despite SBR's offer to analyze the player hand history. BetSuperior has since been rebranded as betsportsweb (SBR rating D+)

    Many thanks.

    You'd have to ask Bill. I would speculate that two things contributed to it - 1. No further complaints, and 2. The "greyness" of the one dispute. While I concluded that the player didn't cheat, I understood the book's arguments, and other people might have come to a different conclusion. It wasn't a "slam dunk 100% book must be wrong" case - I thought more likely than not, but certainly not 100%.

    Be careful if you make horse racing wagers here.Out of a dozen bets,they made three mistakes when grading wagers(including a winning horse that they graded as a loser) I have not made a withdrawal request yet.

    Good luck with that - prepare yourself for some guff along the lines of your max weekly withdrawal being equivalent to your initial deposit. Then you'll have to chase for them to actually do that (oh and there may or may not be fees for theweekly withdrawals you'll need to take if your balance has risen much).

    1. It's a newer book
    2. There are occasional slow-pay complaints
    3. The book (in its old name) stiffed a casino winner out of $120k. They had a defense, but I didn't find it convincing.

    • Approved payouts are usually received within 72hrs or less depending on method available.
    • The minimum payout per day is $100 with a maximum payout of $900 per day and $4500 per week.

    $1000 or less per week is worthless and obviously a lie (see above).
