    i never had a betislands account, but i called the number twice and they told me they are not betisland however they are accepting wagers from betisland customers. they both sounded like youwager customer reps so i called the number a third time. the rep said "account number", i said "ya, youwager", rep said "account # please", i said "this is youwager", rep said "yes, what is your account #".

    Ez ownership genuinely believes there was an advantage with their casino but they can't have it both ways and make money from it at the same time. Hopefully some day they will revisit.

    No they know SBR has heavy traffic and lots of new accounts created via SBR banners, they are happy to pay percentages of lifetime losses. My question is how the books with banners feal now after the betislands scam. My guess is they probably don't give a damn but i am sure their marketing deptments are looking to expand but never drop SBR becuase they do not give a damn, they just want more players.

    I just changed my phone number and only gave my new # to one book I am currently playing with 7redsports, today I got a call from betislands asking if i wanted to reup, that means betislands has access to the 7red data base.
    How can be someone so stupid ???

    It wouldnt matter in getting anyone their money back.

    But its obvious neither Jon nor Bill wanted either of those guys posting here, which makes what they have to say all the more valuable.

    Ironically, the"watch dogs" ended up silencing whistle blowers.

    Just can't make this shit up
    Agree on the bailout however I'm not sure many here will take it.

    This is actually a positive step for us with an attempt to expand , our payouts have continued to go out on time like they always have , we have expanded our facilites and a new website + new betting engine is coming out in the next few days.

    These forums are here to inform players , and this is what I have always tried to do although it seems that some people get alarmed about certain situations when there is no real reason to be alarmed about.

    I have always stated be alarmed when clients are not getting paid ( we have never had a single complaint out there ), not because we are trying to expand or we had a few technical hi cups on the way there.

    Cheers
    I AM ALARMED

    rotten new year to you

    thanks for that bump of jons words. sickens me. with the banner flying above, I do not put resposibility on SBR to make sure every last word posted by that books rep is accurate. But the rep's general message should be with a banner up there. this was just 1 lie after another for months. unreal.

    While here at BI we wish the best of luck to our competition , in the end that is what they are competition my job is to make Betislands a top USA out not to partner up with more books.

    Over the years my track record has spoken for itself if I post twice regarding this issue is because we have worked hard to brand our name.

    Cheers,

    I think that 7red and BI are connected and that EZStreet is separate ownership.

    It's pretty clear that there was a deal between BI and EZ for BI to stiff the players and for EZ to come along and cherry-pick the profitable accounts under the guise of a "bail out".

    But that wasn't the plan from day 1. BI shopped around and the best that they could be done is to move targeted players to EZStreet. It's the same as any other bailout.

    Now it's risk/reward as to whether you want to accept the bailout or pass. Bigactionsports was a mob credit place that was hosted by EZStreet. They were busted and some got jail time. EZStreet was post up owned by another party. Some say that Jon is now involved in EZstreet and others say he isn't. They say he's just involved in 7red.

    Easy Street Sports linked to Lucchese wire room in Costa Rica

    In April 2010, a month before Operation Heat in New Jersey revealed the links between bigactionsports.com and the Lucchese crime family, Easy Street Sports said they were hosting bigactionsports.com.The Costa Rica bookmaker that has recently been the subject of player complaints on US betting forums, appears to be connected with bigactionsports.com, the online bookmaker named in Operation Heat, which in May 2010 brought to the arrest in New Jersey of over 30 people linked to the Lucchese crime family.
    In April 2010, more than a month before Operation Heat, a representative of Easy Street Sports answering a question from a player on the SBR forum stated "We host bigactionsports.com so if there are any issues please do not hesitate to send me a message and I will contact the appropriate people."
    In another post, the same representative also claimed that Easy Street Sports was run by the same management team that sold BetOnline to BestLineSports, both allegedly founded by a member of the Gambino crime family.
    That's when we went back to re-read court papers from last year's Operation Heat and immediately noticed something that last year we had missed.
    According to the Director of the Division of Criminal Justice who arrested Brian Ronald Cohen of Buffalo, N.Y., for running the Lucchese’s offshore gambling operation, Cohen run bigactionsports.com and the wire room.
    Last year we understood that bigactionsports.com was also being used as a wire room for agents and players back in the United States, but now that with the "confession" from the online bookmaker representative, Easy Street Sports appears to be connected to the Lucchese wire room in Costa Rica, we knew there had to be other web sites involved.
    So we cross checked information and found that a Costa Rica company called Cosei SRL, operating out of Oficentro La Sabana in San Jose, run by someone named either as Fabricio Ruiz or Fabian Blanco, owns or has owned at different times all the following online sportsbook sites:
    bigactionsports.com
    betparlor.com
    betwebsports.com
    bestbetsport.com
    crsportsbetting.com
    mywagerlive.com
    wager4you.com and many more.
    While many players on US forums seem to believe that in the current climate, Mafia-backed bookmakers may be the most honorable ones, honorability is not the problem here.
    If a US-facing online bookmaker gets indicted, a scenario we have described in The Emperor Has No Clothes, there may be reasons to suggest that players will not get paid, possibly as a consequence of online bookmakers not having any incentive in finding new ways to process payments to US players.






    Easy Street Sports (NR) enters the Orange list. Bookmakers Review recommends players to avoid all the online bookmakers listed above.

    I don't understand why you're unable to write in complete sentences. The post of yours I responded to was like listening to a crackhead attempting to explain particle physics.

    You jumped from bailout to credit at BigActionSports to post-up at EZ to speculation about whether or not Jon is still involved with EZ. Worst of all, none of it was logically accessible to people who didn't already know the material in far greater depth than you chose to present it.

    In other words, it was one of the most useless posts in your 15 year forumville history of useless posts. Kindly take your addiction to inserting yourself into any interesting thread for no good reason back to Peep's.

    P.S. You look like someone with absolutely no life when you tell someone to Google something then post the top result off a Google search seven minutes later.

    I'd say this was planned for some time, given that BI was apparently spamming telephone numbers of the other book's players
