It seems that Heroes is no more, can SBR please clearly state on this forum what we need to do to get our money? I chose to go with Heroes as the SBR website was advertising them as a reliable bookmaker. I assume there are a clear set steps as to how we get our money now?Comment -

SBR cannot help us they seem to have no influence on Heroes. This all started with this thread on SBR and everyone started withdrawing which made it worse for heroes but no action or no update were given by anyone on SBR
Justin is someone who I have been interacting with but I havent heard anything except stating it doesnt look good..
As for getting the money back well we are ****ed only hope is if Sean Dillon or James Ford decide to pay up out of their pocketComment -
Site was up for me early this morning. Been down the whole day since then.Comment -
When you say early this morning which time are you referring to mate ? I mean I checked it last night around the same time it was off and then it hasnt come back since barring a few minutes about 9 hrs ago, is that what you are referring to ?
If that is the case did you notice any changes in terms of casino introduction or anything along those lines?Comment -
A little before 9am PST
Went to log in 20 minutes later and site was offline and its been offline since.
Only I saw the site loaded when I opened my browser but never logged in.Comment -
I have not been here in a while but when I noticed Heroes was down, I came here looking for some info. You can add another $2800 owed to the list. I've been waiting since the end of June. Should I bother registering a complaint Justin or Bill?Comment -
Count Me In
Add $4,987 Euros to the list. I was in communication with Sean this week and he said he honestly though the worst was behind them and things would be back to normal soon. Maybe even he was not aware what was to come.

I must have missed the memo. Where did SBR say this book was reliable?
The books I recommend for most players belong to a VERY short list. If you do this for fun, don't bother with anyone below A. If you're a pro, I take risks on lower books, but only when you know there's risk.Comment -
Sorry Justin, but I took C rather than F as fairly reliable/limited risk.... What concerns me more is the process of getting our money, does the bookmaker have to be registered with an organization to operate in the UK? Surely it is not as clear cut as Sean Dilon just turning off his computer and deciding to go on holiday with our funds.... Is there no protection for us? Is Sean based in the UK and is this not just a clear case of fraud and theft, therefore can't the police become involved?Comment -
I thought they were based in the Dutch Antilles?
Anyway, no sign of fraud afaik, they've just run out of cash.Comment -
I wouldnt class this as fraud either but I would like to think that there is some accountability again as pointed out lower rated books and hence the inherent risk, but since on one of the threads of SBR had a post from SBR_John about the stability of the owner of this most people will take that as a good enough word ( considering the power of SBR is based on their reputation and hence credibility of their owner's is not questionable).
"Oasis had its ups and downs but was a decent place. This guy behind Hero's is a long time resident in Curacao and stable. I recall seeing them often there. They did not party with the main sportsbook crowd and were well respected. One never knows the real structure of who is really behind these new books, see BetPanAm, so we should not accept as fact that this gentleman is a fall on his sword owner/backer. If in fact time proves he is I would think this book should be rated higher."
Now if go down the route of arguing then it can be said that the risk was pointed out.So Dave is not entirely incorrect when he says that, though choice of words endorsed is questionable.
However this doesnt solve the fact their site is down for almost 2 days now and not a single communication has come from any SBR rep for past couple of weeks as to a effort has been made to contact them at all. Again it is not required but some investigation and some more information is appreciated if at all possible at this stage...
I would hope that someone from SBR has some links in Curacao as John's post did say that the owner is respectable and stable citizen there and gain more information than it is possible for usComment -
Heard from Heroescasino apparently it is a temporary outage and they are working to fix the problem. No other reason or why is it taking so long givenComment -
So taking deposits and offering odds you can't pay out on isn't fraudulent ?
temporary outage

Good luck to everyoneComment -
Strange they would pull the plug just before the NFL season starts
Comment -
It has been reported by Eloit Jacobson that Heroes Casino had their license revoked by their licensing authority.
Comment -
So what will hapen next, do we get to see our funds back?
Comment -
As I recall the ezone license and gaming license are two different animals. You dont need to be in the ezone to run a gaming operation in Curacao. Neither VIP or Pinnacle are there. Maybe someone in SBR can confirm that their gaming license is currently valid.Heroes Casino update
Greetings,
I have just been informed that CyberLuck pulled the plug on Heroes' Casino servers and revoked their eZone license.

John, i think you are spot on with your assesment. These lot are in trouble because of the bad publicity. Gale wind didnt pay the player due to their generosity, no one is that generous not multi million dollars operating cash company to give some $34,000 unless they have got a vested interest so anyone who believes that is a ****ing moron..
Secondly I can get my friend to write a review for me who runs a joint to validate my claim, anyone who has been in this business or has got any boardroom dealings experience knows how easy it is to reveal partial information to one's advantage...
Why is this guy from Jacobson gaming joinging various forums and posting all of these updates? Surely he is not doing social work if he hasnt got anything stuck is he???No ofcourse not..
Saying that this doesnt excuse Heroes from what they are doing or not doing... 3 months is a long time for people to wait....Someone remembers BODOG ??? Does that ring any bell ... before some smart ass goes all data on me. I know they paid and they are a massive organisation and their license didnt get revoked... But books struggle these guys struggle has been magnified because they aren't big. If BODOG has struggled its hardly surprising with all this negative
publicity heroes is struggling..
Before some cunt jumps on me and starts accusing me and suggest I work for heroes NO, i don't work for Heroes you ****ing retard but it is blatantly obvious what is happening.. This is all due to some cunts who hit the book posted here to show that they are expecting to be paid pretending they are innocent, knowing deep down that there is a potential for trouble why not use SBR as a pre-emptive strike and when the trouble actually props up , hey I knew these guys will **** me over because I won......
Well good for you, you got paid and brought the downfall of a book and with them causing grief to so many people including myself.
MODS- feel free to ban me,but I am sick of this site of being used by posters a tool against the books, instead of being used as a neutral mediator. About 2 years ago when I had some trouble SBR stepped in and helped.. People provided constructive suggestions, showed genuine interest in the issue, this heroes bashing has turned into a bloody farce.
If I lose this money I will consider this as one of my losing trades and move on but boy some folks are really foolish..
I have spoken to the person who manages Cyberluck's operation in the island and it is suspended pending investigation but he also mentioned that issue is likley to be resolved by the end of this week. For everyone's sake I hope that is trueComment -
I also have some doubts about this whole story, especially I wonder why have you suggested Heroes 50% settlement if you won your money fair and square? That time we are talking about Heroes was decent book that paid promptly so I think it was just matter of time when you would be paid (if you were honest with them of course), so I just don't know how could you gave up 17k$ at first.Comment -
Heroes management was only offering me 10% settlement originally after I asked for 80%. I had some pressing debts and taxes to pay, and by January I was tired of waiting for my money. I offered bottom line 50% which they said they'll talk with the owner about my offer within the following week. This was conducted over the phone which my brother was helping me out since I have a hearing impairment. In hindsight, after the phone call, I realized that I was succumbing to their high-pressure, fast-talking spiel. Afterwards, when they still did not get back with me on the 50%, I decided all or nothing. There were other pressures already mentioned that was pressing me to ask for that half settlement. But when they still were stalling, I just said damn-it-to-hell because I knew I won that money fair and square. I was pissed and I wasn't backing down. As it turns out, certification and testing of the casino software and of my play log revealed that Heroes were the retards in this situation.Comment -
Any news??????????
Comment -
The site is now up showing a temp page.
Also if you click on the picture for the licencing thingy the licence will come up as invalid. May be just temporary. Anyway it is kind of a good sign that the site is back up! Maybe they really do want to fix the situation.Originally posted by HeroesComment -
Just got this response as to whether they were out of business.Originally posted by HeroesComment -
Seems they're still trying, at least.
Shame tbh, they were a decent book. -104 mlb, -105 everything else, 1k GBP limits on most stuff. Shameless pinny followers of course, but usually worth looking at as they often had 2c more on one side.Comment -
I agree, I switched from Pinnacle because their lines were always 1 or 2 points better. I was looking forward to playing at Heroes during the upcoming NFL season
Comment -
I've heard on another forum that a person got paid yesterday by Heroes after roughly a 4-month wait. I guess Heroes is working off the debts in order to get their license re-instated.Comment -
Heroes should change their name to Villains.Comment -
Looks like they're back:

Website Back Up
Heroes website is back up and I was able to log in and my balance was still there. The sportsbook has always responded to my emails in a timely manner and have respectfully said the right things. Even though the website was down for a week I was confident they would be back.
Welcome back Heroes
