Let me guess, the guys who still have some cash left after 10x roll and request a payout will be labeled pro, syndicate.

There is absolutely no excuse for a post up book to go bust. Legends was well aware of the risk involved with their business, and the post up was in Panama. There is no excuse not to have funds available to cover post up deposits. You can't use the feds as an excuse to steal player funds, that's bullshit.

BetEd used the same excuse to steal player balances and SBR called them on it..and Beted was a sleazy book. Now A rated books are going to use the same excuse to steal player funds???

Why even bother playing offshore if "reputable" A rated books are going to steal your money as soon as the feds give them an excuse..fuuk that shit

Is it official? Wagerweb?

For all those players of Legendz, should send a letter to the Gaming Control Board asking your money. According with gaming internet law you should send it no later than 10 days... i think you have until this wednesday (10 days end after revoke of license), better as soon as possible. They hold a bond for guarantee money of players if any issue occurs, after expired those 10 days they unhold the bond.

Chonger gets it

**davidchong** · 04-20-13, 08:04 PM

Only apply for post up accounts.

Let's get an address in here. Some of us may be able to express mail or FedEx something in time to save our funds. They are lost if wagerweb gets them an a 10X rollover anyway.

**Hankwins** · 04-20-13, 08:34 PM

just for the hell of it i went to legends a few days ago and inquired about signing up and they were still taking new clients and deposits. I then informed them i was aware of them getting shutdown and the live chat guy informed me no worries they are still business as usual.

Love that the only response from SBR since the reveal is Shari basically saying "Are you sure?"

I ripped Venditto for his thread on how the forum is at the lowest quality it's ever been but in reference to how this place is being run he's absolutely right. The brass is going through so much crap that John has disappeared, Lou is hiding behind the "SBR Forum" handle and everyone on the payroll is acting like Legends and BI never existed (when they do show up at all). It was a solid run but ill be hanging up my Pro membership when it's done this year and I can't imagine I'll be in the minority.

Nah there's an annoucement from SBR. I'm on my phone so not going to try to link it as I'll just mess it up I'm sure but you should see it in the right sidebar and it's on the news page.

So then I want to actually to bet steam right? Because if I do that right away, they'll take away my EARNINGS (winnings) and refund me by cashiers check my initial amount transferred over from Legends, right?

WagerWeb is intended for the “Recreational Player Only”, any player that is found “abusing any rule or regulation”, “Professional Bettors”, “Syndicates”, or any Person betting “Steam Plays” or “Moves” will be subject to have their account suspended, earnings removed, and a Cashiers Check will be sent to the Name and Address on File.

I doubt it. More likely that you'll lose your whole balance.

We've also had some comment from SBR along the lines of "it might be WagerWeb trying to acquire new customers by sending out emails phishing for new accounts". And then, of course, the standard zero further comment.

All of which probably that means SBR has no idea what is going on here, but some comment would be helpful, even if it was saying it is completely in the dark. Otherwise it looks like SBR doesn't care or - worse - is complicit in whatever scheme Legendz/WW comes up with next to make sure nobody sees any cash.

Let's assume that it definitely is going to be as per the email most people got and that WW is taking on the accounts and applying the 10 x rollover. A lot of people will bust out and many of these people don't deserve to, given that they had no rollover or had much less of one prior to the transfer. However, it's better than the alternative of Legendz going belly up and everyone whistling for their cash...

Has anyone got any recent payout history from WW to encourage those of us with a worthwhile balance to get cracking on turning the cash over?

What are the limits like there?

As with books like Legendz, if they're reliable payers you can forgive most other things.

TIA.

SBR did comment. It's in the right sidebar, on the newspage and a few posts above yours.

**ChewFu** · 04-21-13, 02:50 AM

Thank you, you're correct. So the email is confirmed as being legit. Good luck, folks.

TIA to anyone with information on payouts and/or betting limits.

**MBENZ** · 04-21-13, 08:13 AM

No bases lines yet.Are these guys like JustBet and hang the 1oclock games at12:45?

**PhillyUnionCC** · 04-21-13, 09:20 AM

When is the transfer supposed to happen?

**KGambler** · 04-21-13, 09:35 AM

Did anyone else still not receive any emails about this?

**PhillyUnionCC** · 04-21-13, 09:36 AM

Just contacted them,They claim all the transfering will be done by this afternoon.I asked them my balance and he said $0,and it should be $50.Considering i deposited the day before shut down day. Made no plays,If this is how this is gonna work with balances getting messed up they are going to have A LOT of issues with players.

**MBENZ** · 04-21-13, 09:41 AM

I logged in early this morning using my Legends info and my balance was there.I'd do that before calling these guys.

**PhillyUnionCC** · 04-21-13, 09:42 AM

I tried that,no go. Its got me nervous now. Ill see what happens,not gonna stress

Does this not work for anyone else? I have tried logging in my with Legends login info and I just get a "forget password? click here" message. The Login/password I put in was correct.

**adamg30** · 04-21-13, 10:38 AM

Can login fine here. Interestingly my balance at Legends was in £GBP but now is showing in dollars. Looks like they have transferred it across as dollars. Anyone else in the same position? I suppose it doesnt matter when its all just virtual money now anyway...

Cheers Legends/SBR

Ha, I guess writing up what happened is better than nothing at all, but there's nothing in there posters don't already know. I get that you work for SBR and you have to back them up but the bottom line is that posters are getting screwed for the second time this year by a sportsbook heavily promoted by SBR and the response is effectively "sucks to be you"

that what? what is the email address for this Board? who are they?

**Spedizzo** · 04-21-13, 11:24 AM

Are all those SBR videos they used to have with Legendz sportsbooks regarding how they did for the week, what the public is on, etc taken down? How's that guy doing? What his name "Doc" or some shit?

**Microphone** · 04-21-13, 11:36 AM

Really?

I can't log in.

I had close to $2000 at Legends. So I got to bet $20,000 and if I were to be successful, they're probably going to label me trouble???? This is crazy.
