    How these guys even have any business is beyond me. I have been receiving emails from them for the past year now from when i opened an account years back. Never really pushed it was involved in a accident forgot about even have any money in the account. So i log on to check and have money not even 4 digit sum but less then 500. So i knowing they are crooked try for the hell of it to pull money out. Verification time good times, i send in all the forms, copies of this and that, tell me to call back in 2 hrs, i do and also send them a email, told 2 more hrs, yet the message in account says 3 hrs, call back and write back, the message on the account says 24-48 hrs with the exact same wording as the others except it says 24 hrs. The lady on the phone tells me i have to wait 2 more hrs and call back, and i should speak to my account rep, i chuckle cause that is who i thought i dialed when pushing 3 with the 4 digits. So now its been 5 days of wait 24 more hrs, or please send in this form, or that form, or we couldnt read the last form can you send it in again, all this for 213$ in the account. Good luck to anyone who thinks they can even deal with these crooks. I consider it gone money as i didnt even know i had any money in the account.

    I used them a couple years ago. Never really had too much trouble for payouts. I also had to go through the whole verification process BS. For some weird reason, any payout over $1000 had to be done over the phone. Either way, it took about 2 weeks to complete transaction. When I read about all the bad reviews, and complaints about them, decided to switch to 5Dimes, and boy did they not like that. I didn't tell BetUs why I wanted my account closed, yet they kept pestering me, and pestering telling me to stay. Threatening me that they won't close my account unless I give them a good enough reason. Finally I just made something up about a medical scare, and they finally stopped bugging me.

    Can understand that, this is for a little over 200 and they are dragging their feet and wanting blood samples, only response to any question on email or phone is wait longer, lol, figured we would doc the process here for anyone interested in doing biz iwth them

    looks to be that way here but not for that much, every time i call its wait longer, then when i wait its i couldnt read the doc, or our upload script messed up, or your missing this form, or you please call back while i look up the problem and call ext which you never get the same person twice, call center people all over the globe, not good

    That book should be on the avoid list sbr please put them were they belong. I found sbr after going though this with them. Never got my 3k and lost so much money cause they always took to long to get a payout and always spent it.

    Need input - payout info required

    Forgive me... I am a total Newbie at On-Line gaming... I just completed my first football season with BetUS, and want to get my payout. (Yes, Shockingly, I came out ahead!) BetUS claims that I need to provide copies of both the CC I used to fund the account, as well as my drivers license in order for them to process my pay-out. I don't feel particularly good about giving this information to a company in Costa Rica (or anywhere for that matter). I expressed this to BetUS, and they told me that this was an industry standard. My questions are thus:
    1. Is this in fact an industry standard?
    2. Can BetUS be trusted with the information?
    3. Is there anything else I should know?

    Thank you in advance!

    Ya I just had to jump through all the hoops and it took almost a month but I eventually did get the stupid little gift card and was able to pull out $1k. They just stall hoping you blow your bankroll which Im sure happens more often then not.

    3. Is there anything else I should know? most likely you will get your money but expect to jump through hoops and start looking for another book

    Thank you in advance!
