    An apology to all Betislands players
    This is not an easy post to make but I feel it is the least I can do for players and to the forum community.

    It has been weeks since I left my position as the GM for Betislands and after reading what the situation is right now I would like to provide clarification , since I was the one who talked up Betislands and believed in it more than anyone else did .During my time at Betislands I can sincerly say I always did my best for every single client always trying to get players paid and most of the time siding with the players. And for almost 2 years those things were accomplished.

    The financial backing pulled out unexpectedly this is a verifiable fact from SBR and anyone in the sportsbook industry in Costa Rica. I am not the banker nor the money behind Betislands I was the General Manager in several aspects of the company including Public Relations but I was not the founding $$ nor the bank ( another fact that is easily verified )and for the most part we came through with our promises solid payouts , good CS and good bonuses. When everyone was getting the good stuff we were a top book of course.

    After expressing my desire to leave for several months I left the company and retired from the post up scenario.

    I am sure this post will not change the frustration and anger that some of you feel , and of course you associate your feelings towards the forum face of the sportsbook but I felt this post on my behalf was necessary.

    I wish the best for the players and I am hoping some of the larger shops that have the financial prowlness will come in and help players out for the good of the industry in general.

    Jon-

    Do you think there will be any financial backing from anyone in the near or distant future or does this look bleak for all customers?

      Freudian slip? I think one shop prowling on us is enough.

        Thanks for the post. Can you elaborate on why you left?

        Why does the financial backing leave a sportsbook after two years unless it is losing money?

                                          You were here a week ago, trying to placate players and belittling others.

                                          You are a scumbag piece of shit, stealing players hardworking money.

                                              You were here a week ago, trying to placate players and belittling others.

                                              You are a scumbag piece of shit, stealing players hardworking money.

                                                Aw that's ok Jon......wait a second it's not ok. It's not ok that you called my home at told me I couldn't get paid was because of "Sandy" and all the guys that process the cheques for you are "living in hotels trying to get their lives together". It's not ok that you came into this forum and mocked guys like me for not "understanding" that it was hard to process payments. It's not ok that you came in here days before you left and said live betting would be starting shortly a couple of weeks ago which was clearly just an attempt to keep people from withdrawing and/or enticing people to deposit and its not ok that you STILL are saying what a great job you did.

                                                Enjoy the karma

                                                      I left for personal reasons weeks ago . The backing pulled out due to legal issues.

                                                      Some of you can call me a thief a fraud I was the GM for the company not the banker nor the financial decision maker. If the book at a time was performing correctly how can you blame the PR guy to speak good of the company? Which now I truly apologize for the situation that this has become.

                                                      Like I said I am hoping this situation will raise awareness in some of the larger books and will come in to help the players out , I knew this post would bring me nothing but hostility but like I said after my posting on the forum It was the least I could do.

                                                      As one of the managers of the company I felt you guys deserved that much.

                                                                If the guy comes in here volunteering information, you probably won't get more of it by attacking him. We are all pissed but I do want to figure out what actually happened. Some of us have a bullshit sensor that works pretty well, most of you just think you do. So let's hear the guy out if he has anything to say please.
