    Major issue betus
    Im having a big problem with these.

    I originally deposited $2700 of which i got a $1250 bonus. (They are saying that I was explained to that I would have to clear 6x rollover BEFORE cashout) I never heard anything about this until I made a $5000 deposit this morning (taking my account to $6755 - but spent bonus) and went on live chat to get bonus (oblivious to cashout bs rule)
    So I was like what??? So I didnt take a bonus on the $5000 and they are saying that before I can withdraw ANYTHING I must bet a further $6000( completed so far $13625.16 out of the $19575 that you needed to complete) WHICH IS JUST MIND BOGGLING!!
    After researching im so sad that Iv actually been had from what I can see. I chatted with support for ages.

    Is there anyway I can get my deposit back?? I even said keep the other 1250(bonus/freeplay) and reverse rollover req's but they not helping atall saying all money is theirs until rollover cleared. THIS IS ABSURD!!
    Any help much appreciated I need the money asap my family will be ruined

    I also asked about closing my account but they said cant do that althought I did find this clause - does it help me??

    5.10 Subject to clause 5.4 when you close your Account you will be entitled to the returnable funds in it subject to any bank charges applicable should you request expedited payment

    I made both deposits with Neteller - one on March 2nd at 3am($5K) and another at the middle of January ($2700) Is there anything they can do?? Surely this is fraud??

    I have read most of the posts on Betus and see alot of people succeeded in getting money back. Did these people have problems with rollover clearance?

    Any help is much appreciated as I have a fiance and 3yr old little girl to support. This isnt small money to me!! Yes I know ive been very stupid, I acknowlege that, but right now what I need is as much help as possible.

    Many thanks

    Nothing wrong here, you just forgot to read the rules (?).
    If you take the bonus you are bound to the rollover..what i don´t understand:
    Why do you have a problem with wagering 6k if you deposit an additional 5k?

      haha ok so I exxaggerated a little.
      Im a pro poker player but I moved some of poker roll because I had what I thought was a lock on a game tonight and was going to bet 3/4k and then withdraw backout to neteller this week.
      Its only because it will take a long while to get at the $5k that is a problem. Im not used to this dealing with online poker. The money is not a major issue if I get it back but didnt expect to wait months - which i am reading is norm with these!!

      Am I really screwed unless I bet the other $6k??

      less sarcasm appreciated!!

          Adam, I don't have a great deal of experience with BetUs, but from what I know of them I would think it is all but certain that they will now hold those funds until you've achieved the rollover. Perhaps other books would relent and send the deposit back (minus the bonus), but I'm also fairly certain that BetUs is not one of those books. Though some people swear by them, look around this site a little and you'll see that they have a shady past to say the least.

          And sorry, but I completely agree with Casi's response. You might consider it sarcasm, but based on what you initially wrote I would say Casi's G.A. comment is the most sound advice you could possibly recieve here.

          Anyway, good luck and hope it works out.

            You are a professional poker player and you bet sports and you didn't know there would be a rollover involved with a deposit and a bonus?

            You are a professional poker player and a 6k rollover will affect your ability to provide for your family?

            I'd suggest finding a new profession.

              Sounds normal to me.
              Sorry dude rollovers suck ,ecpessially when you deposit large amounts.
              But if your willing to lose the bonus you can still make a withdraw.
              Do yourself a favor,You have a nice bankroll dont put pressure on yourself and make bad bets to try to make your rollover thats what the books want.
              Me personally I usally bet the bonus first parlays risky shit to see if I can double or triple early.
              Then If I lose the free money its back to bussiness as usual.
              I would really like for you to take this advice,And treat the bonus for what it is a bonus.
              Take the principal and make good solid wagers and take your time and things will work out.

                Im amazed. And I only play Pokerstars and Full Tilt never had proiblems or seen anything like this.

                I would understand not being able to withdraw bonus - that is perfectly normal - but MY OWN MONEY?? WOW totally ABSURD!!

                So what are peoples thoughts once I clear the 6k? Are they likely to take ages on Neteller cashout??

                  So you are saying that if I give back the 1250 bonus I can withdraw??

                    What, I think you have every right to withdraw your own money,if you forgo your bonus.
                    Sorry I diden't realize that was the issue at hand.
                    I'm staying out of this one Because I have no idea the rules of this particular book.
                    But I stand at you should be entitled your own money damit

                      That depends a lot on the book..and sorry but Betus is a very bad one. The first thing you should do when you got your money out: Forget they exist.

                          My deposits - $7700 ($2700 + $5000)
                          Bonus - $1250
                          Current Balance - $6800

                          All I want to do is take out $5000 deposit I made with MY MONEY and took NO BONUS/ROLLOEVER on. They can keep the rest for bonus!

                          I mean live chat said the most absurd thing - "if i had waited until balance $0 or < $5 I wouldnt have had any rollover to clear"

                            I wish I could give you the right answer bud.
                            But I simply have never had this problem and I don't know the correct answer.
                            Don't worry though there's guys here that live for this shit and now the ins and outs better then me.

                                Adam I do use Betus and yes had the same problem I was lucky enough to win a couple more time while only losing I think two bets. Them putting me in the rollover actually ended up helping me and I was able to add to my account. The reason I do stay with them is cause when it came time for a payout it has taken about ten buisness days and the girl I deal with (Andrea) is very helpful and is great at answering anything I have to ask. By the way my deposit was 2000 so my rollover was not as big as yours but still I know the feeling of being pissed about it.

                                    I would like to think anyone can cash out their deposit foregoing the bonus money. I am going to email CS and management to ask about the current procedures handling this for my own information.

                                      I am also in dispute with BETUS.
                                      I bought into the SPORTS BETTING CHAMP SCAM and was told to open a sportsbook with BETUS. The details of how I was to do this and who I was to deal with were very specific. The quoted 95% wins was a total lie and after the first 6 picks I was down after losing 3 and having to buy points on every game means the odds you get when you win are low. Now the sting is simple, even when you manage to claim your purchase price back from CLICKBANK it still leaves your money tied up in BETUS who will not release your money until you have wagered 6 times the amount of your original deposit. Which by the way they ensure is maximum by offering a 33% freeplay bonus on signup. BETUS pay this thief a large bonus for every mug who signs up using his personal code. No matter what you do to get your money back this 'roll over' rule is used to shut you up. So I have over $1000 in my BETUS account and they wont give it back to me. I WISH SOMEONE HERE COULD HELP

                                            From Betus, FWIW:

                                            We do not offer to rescind that bonus, should the client not use it and request a payout.

                                              Did you even bet the 5k at all? I think the vast majority of shops, if not all, require you to bet through once before moving money.

                                                I bought into the SPORTS BETTING CHAMP SCAM and was told to open a sportsbook with BETUS. The details of how I was to do this and who I was to deal with were very specific. The quoted 95% wins was a total lie and after the first 6 picks I was down after losing 3 and having to buy points on every game means the odds you get when you win are low. Now the sting is simple, even when you manage to claim your purchase price back from CLICKBANK it still leaves your money tied up in BETUS who will not release your money until you have wagered 6 times the amount of your original deposit. Which by the way they ensure is maximum by offering a 33% freeplay bonus on signup. BETUS pay this thief a large bonus for every mug who signs up using his personal code. No matter what you do to get your money back this 'roll over' rule is used to shut you up. So I have over $1000 in my BETUS account and they wont give it back to me. I WISH SOMEONE HERE COULD HELP
                                                Assuming this is Morrison's nonsense, since it sounds familiar. I've heard that BetUS shades the lines bigtime against people who sign up with his referral code. Next game you're supposed to play, see what BetUS offers and then see what pinnacle offers.

                                                  No I didnt I wasnt aware of this tbh. I have got to stage they are refunding $5k to neteller(so they say) but I have to bet with remainder to clear rollover. Not really happy but guess this is better than maybe losing whole lot (or having to chase fast)

                                                  I actually emailed neteller and they spoke with Betus and then all of sudden payout req went from "waiting for supervisor auth" to "ready to pay" so not sure if they pulled any strings.

                                                  I will update if and when I recieve monies

                                                    I would be more than happy for them to take the bonus freeplay amount of $350 back and return the remaining $680. I am not trying to get something for nothing. I am trying to recover the funds that I was scammed out of in the first place. AS I have previously said, BETUS is well aware of the situation with the SPORTS BETTING CHAMP SCAM and is actively supporting it by continuing in this way. It's time the sportbooks like BETUS either cleaned up their act or closed down. I still want mymoney returned to me.

                                                      Can you let me have the information of how you managed to get BETUS to concede to your request, this sets a precedence and gives me some hope that I will see my money again. I am ignorant of neteller and what involvement they had in your case. Can you explain it to me please.
                                                      I am still not getting through to BETUS who only answer with the same information on ROLL-OVER and refuse to release my money

                                                        This whole story sounds like bullshit to me sorry, why on earth would someone want to deposit 5k and worry about a remaining 6k wager.

                                                        And it is hard to believe that this guy is a newbie who worries about feeding his family, those types don´t deposit 5k when there is still money left in an account. Has bullshit written all over it..

On February 7th 2009 at 12:44 pm et you called in and spoke to Ren at ext 2387. Minute 1 and 52 seconds into the phone call the terms and conditions were explained to you. At 2 minutes with 2 seconds you asked if the terms and conditions applied before any money could be taken out of the account, to which Ren answered yes. Minute 2 and 49 seconds you ask what would happen if you take the bonus, don’t complete the rollover and then want to take money out of the account; to this, Ren clearly tells you that once you agree to the bonus you are telling us that you are going to stay and play. Minute 5 and 7 seconds into the call you agree to the 35% bonus with the terms and conditions. If you have any questions or you would like the tape to be played to you please give us a call at your earliest convenience at 1-800-620-1905 Please ask to speak with a supervisor or a floor manager. Your account has been documented with the recording. Thanks

                                                          And you think that the recording absolves you of all fault do you. I have expalined the relationship between SPORTS BETTING CHAMP and your company. I have also explained the specific details that I had to follow to make sure I dealt with his contacts at BETUS. This clearly shows your implication in his SCAM. The details he reports to his victims are false and REN told me that with him I had no problem of recovering the amount I needed to ensure I reached the payout figure. So listen for that in your recordings. Funny that you feel it safer to record the conversations, but then as you have dozens of customers in the same situation due to the same reasons you would would'nt you. BETUS is well aware of the scam which is being run, and the involvement
                                                          of it's staff in this matter. I am also recording all messages and emails and will make them public. You have my money, I am prepared to refund you in full the $350 freeplay you extended me. The rest of the money belongs to me and i want it returned. I will take whatever steps I have to, to get it back

                                                            Calm down...i cannot see what Betus is doing wrong here (and they ARE a shitty book..).
                                                            Take a bonus >>> fullfill the wagering requirements. Easy rule.

                                                            And as someone else pointed out, if you deposit 5k you have to roll that amount over at least once. Books do not want to pay for deposit fees and get no action in return.

                                                            I would not let this guy withdrawal before he wagered 6k, period.

                                                              Do U guys do not Understand? You see, the most disputes you read on this forum are about BETUS. Do you know anyone having disputes with pinnacle, Bookmaker and any other serious bookmaker. Only BETUS. The problem is that these scams do not like winning people. They will do anything against You if U are a winner. I have more than 6 thousand USD winnings there and they suspend my account. They claim that the reason is for "security check" but they changed 2 or 3 times their version and now thre days later, I can't ENTER in MY ACCOUNT. I have not words to explain. THEY ARE JUST THIEVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES. I hope everyone read this post and take notes before depositing with them

It shows books are not the only ones that can be stupid/crooks

                                                                    I am not a gambler normally, but deposit about $1000 into BetUs as I signed up. I bet during the world cup and my final amount right now is about $1200. So I asked them to let me withdraw it. They said I have to wager $6500 or so because of rollover bonus rules.

                                                                    My response was, that one, I never agreed to any rollover bonus, nor do I know what that is. I have NOT TOUCHED the rollover bonus, and as such I should not be held to whatever rules they do not disclose.

                                                                    I am new at betting on line (my first time)....could someone explain to me what my rights are. They also want me to provide them with a faxed photocopy of my driver's liscense and credit card...this opens me up for identity theft. Why can't they mail the check to my address they have on file, or credit the credit card back?

                                                                    any advice would be highly appreciated.

If I did use the bonus money then I could understand that I should be held with whatever rule is attached to it. Frankly, I just wanted to bet my money on the World Cup and ignored everything that was bonus.
