Do not use betislands

[cfballmonster]

I currently am using BetIslands for one of my sportsbooks. I have been waiting over a month for withdraws of thousands of dollars. Their customer support is brutal for this issue. I have been told on 4 different occasions that a person to person transfer would be sent to me and nothing has occurred. Everything revolves around Jon and Ryan and neither one is responsive at all. The original excuse for the delays was because of the hurricane. This of course was many weeks ago. There has been nothing done to resolve this issue - they don't communicate at all. I still have no idea when I will receive a payout. I have been using sportsbooks for many years and I have never experienced this. I have a lot of experience with sportsbooks and betislands right is the worst I have used. I am not a small better and this is a legitimate post. This sportsbook is rated as an elite book with the OSGA but I can tell you with my experience this book isn't even close to this. They might have been in the past - I don't know - I only know that right now they are no good. I would like to encourage others who are experiencing payout issues to submit a complaint to the OSGA in order to bring awareness to this issue and hopefully prevent others from using this book and experiencing the same issue. My purpose for posting this is to hopefully prevent people from making deposits and going through the same issues. I highly encourage anyone who is reading this to not make any deposits with this book until these payout issues are resolved unless you feel like making a donation. I fully believe there are many others who are going through this and any responses that defend this book right now are from people who are small bettors or people who aren't winning and making withdraws.

Hi cfballmonster,

Welcome to SBR Forum. Can you submit a sportsbook complaint form so someone can help look into this for you?

[CollegePro]

see.. another person complaining about communication issue as well as payout...

op, i am sure betislands will pay you.. i THINK their payout issue is more than just hurricane. just keep call them and keep email them until you speak to Jon.

[CollegePro]

i called earlier today to talk to jon and rep said he was not in the office at the time even though i think he was in the office. cuz when i called, he put me on hold and when he came back he asked me for my acct number. he put me on hold again and said that jon is not in the office. i let them know the reason for my call and he said he will make sure to have jon call me back today as soon as he comes back in.. however, i doubt he will call me back today.

[cfballmonster]

I have spoken Jon and emailed him. I am labeled as a sharp player so when I call they tell me that I have to talk to Jon or Ryan. I have spoke to both and emailed both. Both of them in the past couple of weeks have told me that a payout via ** or ********** would be sent to me while they resolve the *********** issue. I still have received nothing. I don't necessarily doubt they will pay me but something is seriously wrong. I know that I personally would not make a deposit to a book if they are having payout issues so hopefully my post will create awareness.

[CollegePro]

well, there have been numerous thread discussing betislands' late payment.. but it looks like they all received p2p in the matter of 2days.. there might be something serious wrong with ur acct maybe?? gl and i hope you get paid soon!

you are a penetrating jackoff out looking to score free plays, nobody buys any of your bullshit....anyone can tell what you're up to by looking at your last 50 plus posts, fuk off....why are you tying up the fukking phone lines for absolutely no reason.....there's no way you're more than 18 years old.

[JasonDC]

I just want to let everyone know that i received a payout about an hour ago from betislands for $975 via W U...if they were going under i dont think they would be sending me any payment..i still have more money thats supposed to be on the way but this obvioiusly makes me feel better, and hopefully gives the rest of you some reason to be optimistic because some payments are being made.

def same person 1st and 3rd

even if there were money issues and delays

i don't think jon is gonna up and vanish with everyones money

may just be a bit slow on paying some people

and him a bit slow will probably be faster than most normal books

Same person or not (i dont think it is) the complaint by the OP seems on par with what many other bet-islands customers are going through. that is the most important part.

In fact, there are still hurricanes. You can see it here: http://www.sailwx.info/hurricanes/hurricanes.phtml

Given that you have over 5000 posts in ten months, seems like you'd be in a good position to tell. Do you ever leave the basement?

so in a way

you and everyone else kind of pay me to post

huh??? are you fukcing moron???

how deep you wanna get buried?

College , I apologize but most of your emails are for non deposit freeplays , everyone has always gotten paid and always will YES there are a few delays the last few days but these are things every single book has to overcome at certain times we are not going broke we are not going anywere we are just having a small hi cup.

Cheers

I made the original post to inform people of these issues. I very rarely do chat rooms or posts and I joined this site and others just to make a post about betislands to inform people. If some of you think I am the same person as another user you are far from the truth. I don't even know how that was brought up. I have a lot of experience with sportsbooks and something is wrong with betislands right now. I used them for the first time last year and did get paid but haven't received any payouts this season. These books have no problem taking deposits but must be held accountable for not paying as promised. Delayed payouts happen and I have no problem accepting that but when you have a site that on numerous occasions tells you a person to person is on the way and it isnt then that is not right and is a serious issue. They also have given me no indication on when I can expect to receive my *********** payouts either. I think this book has an issue with people like myself who bet the max limits. Everything runs through 2 people there and is another reason for concern.

Now I've accused you of living in a basement glued to the internet, what you should do now is come up with some bs story about working in a great job and posting from work to try and impr..........forget it, you're way to smart to do something as predictable and 2007 as that, way too smart.

[LordVodka]

So many of these betislands thread and I guarantee that 99% of them are fakes trying to give them a bad reputation.

Have you attempted to withdraw a decent sum of money from there lately?

[LordVodka]

I bet there once only and didn't like their lines and limits so I never went back.

But that's not the point. This forum goes through fads where it's popular to bash the shit out of certain books. Before it was Tony and 5dimes, now it's betislands.

[evo34]

Yeah, 'cause that never happens with chatty book owners who hang around the forums.

so there are 2 possibilities. 1-there is a competitor of betislands who is looking to bash them and launching a smear campaign (or just some random people with nothing better to do) 2- betislands is having some issues at the moment.

as I play there, i know the answer first hand. Since you dont play there, you have no way of knowing which it is.

I do not post in these threads looking to bash betislands. I post in these threads helping to solve some problems that I feel exist at the moment. Just wanted that on the record.

The irony is that the spam that has hit this thread is far more credible than the slander against Betislands.
