    Why Im Leaving Betislands

    pros = they pay, same day, Jon was OK

    Cons=Casino like most casinos total ripoff.

    Customer service, sit in the box and dont talk for a half hour before they talk next.

    Cant talk to Jon when hes not there, which is all the time. How do u have a sportsbook where u cant talk to somebody on key days like saturday and sunday. Most folks work during the day too and then play at night and weekends, why does management go home at the same time?

    Decided to change monthly rebate so no daily, no weekly or no monthly rebate?

    What are the perks again?

    dimes gives a daily rebate, gtbets gives a weekly plus deposit cash.

    I think Jon is an ok guy but his employees are not allowed to do anything, and I think he enjoys this forum more than his own site too.

    Time to move on need someplace better for football?

    Any ideas?

    Bud, you are most likely to lose your money anywhere you go, especially in the casino.

    Bud, I've been in the same boat as you at times. A few times I've tried to contact Jon and couldn't get a timely response. My definition of timely was unrealistic. I realized how crazy I was. He will get back to you.

    He wont, cause ive moved on. He should be more available for his own success there.

    With the rebate gone there are too many books out there that are as good or better. I dont even care if he reponds at this point

    Just stay away from their casino and enjoy the no frills service.

    I was happy with their payout, I got too over enthusiatic, though.

    After they changed the rebate, and have nobody of any use working there when Jon is not there. Thats as much his fault as theirs, but that was a good selling point, the rebate.

    Any dink sportsbook will give 10% bonus and no rebate. What makes them special?

    But the real problem is the uselessness of customer service, what are they there for if they cant do anything?

    Theres at least 20 books who pay, that's not a deal breaker.

    I noticed no half time lines for olympcs when others were offering qtrs.

    Free money? I gave them aot of money to be considered free.

    But at this point, I dont want anything,

    I just dont want to see all the hoopla about it. I trusted the bozos on this site for their opinions.

    Hi Lines,

    I hope all is well , I would like to clarify a few things.

    The reason why you are referred to me in your dealings with our customer service reps is because you ask for deals or exceptions to be made on your account that only I can authorize.

    Now I understand your tone in trying to create a thread that shows that Betislands is not special , but can you name 20 other sportsbooks that can send you a check in 3 to 4 working days and that offer cash bonuses and a free half point for football?

    Our perks : same day payouts , checks in 3 to 4 working days , great bonuses and a free half point in football.

    And I beg to differ getting paid fast indeed is a big fact now a days.

    The door to Betislands will always be open to you.

    Cheers,

    Jon

    The rebate was not changed the rebate is still being offered but we are simply giving our clients a chance to choose from the 20% monthly rebate with the lower bonuses or the seasonal rebate with a much higher bonus upfront.

    10% is a great bonus?

    I didnt say all books can cut a check in three or 4 days. But most will pay ** or ** within 24 hours.

    The hard part is keeping the money in the account, if its being sent back I dont mind waiting 2 days instead of one.

    Thanks for the offer, but tommorows deposit will go somewhere else. A change of scenery is probably needed.

    Good luck to you on getting your A rating.

    Jon reached out to you with a bonus after you lost and before the end of the month rebate. It was money you were not entitled to at the time, but Jon gave you an advance anyway--- so yes UNGRATEFUL is the word that comes to mind.


    BTW, this act of alternating between liking BI and disliking them is getting old. Stick with your current view and move onto another Book--you're too high maintenance. Go to 5-Dimes next and try this pandering routine. Make sure to post your chat with Tony when you beg for a bonus after going bust again.

    I didn't know anything changed on the 20% also, the website is still showing it's availabel, not sure where you got that form. Jon is available more then any other sportsbook owner and does what he can to help special requests. I can't see how anyone can complain about betislands, i'm saying that having lost a ton in both the casion and sportsbook - still love this place.

    Actually, Jon offered me a free play now, I declined.

    So stick it up your ass. Stop telling me who to try this and that with. How would you know if you hadnt tried it yourself.

    BI made no effort to get me in touch with Jon, a trend i dont see changing. So why aggravate myself.

    Ill go somewhere else. But I dont want to see u blowing the bugle for them again.

    Your coming to the recuse is getting old, and others have pmed me about you.

    Go away u smell

    No shop gives a sh*t about any one of us. They are trying to beat you out of your money, and we are trying to beat the book! When it becomes a minus even proposition for the book they will either cut limits or send you on your way. All you can ask for is a book that gives you a fair shake and pays which I believe Betislands does better than most.

    I wouldnt have thought u cared either, but u seem to.

    On the flip side, U DO seem to think people care where u play, or your strong feelings for Jon and BI.

    Who is this WE you speak of--and since when do you decide where I can post? I got some more helpful advice for you---STOP BETTING ONLINE CASINOS, moron. Your money will last a lot longer if you stick to sports, so maybe you won't have to beg for free plays every other day.

    Betislands is a great book , a top book it seems that you just wanted something out of the ordinary. its pretty obvious the GM and one of the owners of the site will not be there for your every demand...

    GO BI !!!

    Ok

    Fastest payouts in the industry .. how that is not important in your book is beyond me

    Free half points for football

    They are offering the large bonuses again for football PLUS the freakin seasonal rebate

    Free monthly payout

    In your whole thread you have yet to mention a valid complaint other than you lost in the casino , Jon was took the weekend off ..

    You have an obvious agenda its all pretty clear for us to see..

So if I understand you correctly, you know online casinos are rigged yet you still play them. Sounds like you hate your money. Get help for your addiction--more free advice (you're welcome).

    Yes, I didnt like the brush off treatment by customer service. I want others to know what they are getting.

    And if u treat me like that, Ill say it.

    Fastest payout, most people dont get pay outs. Thats why the book is there.

    Well I wont say i KNOW they are rigged. I was willing to give it fair trials. It took me 6 weeks to have a winning night last time, and havent won since, if football season were here id probably not play at all. But forget trying to build a balance, it wont let you.

    Hi Lines,

    I apologize if you were not satisfied by our service , like I mentioned before no book is perfect I do not know of many other GMs or owners that are as readily available as I have been for everyone in the last few years. In regards to our CS well it is slow season and it is common practice that we give vacations to our staff since when regular season kicks off days off do not come around as much this is done by 99% of sportsbooks so alot of these guys sometimes are multi tasking.

    Hey , Betislands is not for everyone that does not mean you need to find ways to insult us. There are things that do not change like our payout record , our bonuses and what we have done and do for clients you yourself just posted that I offered you a bonus , which is true I wanted to offer you compensation for any situation but it seems to me that it is in your plans to insult Betislands rather than resolve any issue.

    Cheers,

    Jon
