    Is BetPhoenix still recommended by SBR?

    SBR Recommended

    logo still on their site



    i thought they were no longer recommended by SBR?

    Good catch Big Daddy. Although, books are incredibly casual about those kind of things since it's not to their advantage to treat such badges as if they mean anything.

    Sorry to hear all this bad news about BP, they took good care of me. I won't need to worry about them for football though.

    illegal? lol like false advertisement exists on the internet in costa rica.

    BetUS still advertises they one of the best and top rated sportsbooks in the world.. no one has ever questioned their website.

    BetUs can get away with it because 'best' doesn't mean anything, and they technically are top-rated by sites like covers and therx.

    Anyone can say they're the best and you can't force them to take it down.

    However, saying you're SBR-recommended or approved when you're not is quite different.

    They are no more recommended by SBR than they are paying by Moneybookers and Neteller.

    Yes, they are all the same now. But, I'd guess most of the Wagerchief guys left with Jon.

    technically they still arent breaking any rules by displaying this

    think bout how many companies u walk into and they have BBB (Better Business Bureau) plaque from 2001/2002/2003 and then its 2011 and yet they arent falsely advertising.. or like a AAA (Triple A ) Recommended sign or some other insurance or group who recommends them in a previous year.. Or like a Doctor or Lawyer has A BAR award or a 1999 Academy of Medicine and Science Award. They dont have to take down the plaque because its not 1999 anymore.. SBR recommended them at one point.. so they can keep the sign up. really thats as far as it goes imo.

    and i am in no way defending betphx... i just think sbr has nothing they can do nor would waste time on because technically what betphx is doing isnt wrong.

    There was rarely a more obvious fail in the works than BP, the touting here was laughable.
    Dudes like Moonbeam (piece of work, but who cares) been laughed at when they pointed out everything that was wrong at this book, oh well.
    Shows that a B+ here obviously is worth not much.

    I disagree. If they said "SBR-recommended 2009-2010", that would be accurate. You can't claim to be endorsed when you're simply not.

    Places that have plaques like that have a date, so anyone can see.

    This is false advertising.

    You think you need more knowledge?

    Many people here, including myself, have been posting that BetPhoenix is not good for quite a while now.
