Yes, if 2 users say an outfit is 'legit' because they received a couple thousand dollars worth in payouts, then everyone should move all of their funds to this book.Comment -
They keep spam texting me. Not depositing there.Comment -
Pretty much every scam book there is has paid out for a little while. And then after a few months they stop. There is 0 reason to play here when there are at least 20 legit books that have been around for decades.Comment -
1 post = worthless. I don't care how long you've been here. Make some significant contributions to this forum.Comment -

I disagree with this assessment, the 1 post concern aside, I signed up with bigbetbiz.ag and went on the chat feature to inquire about bonus offerings and initial deposit options, I received no response, also no answer to phone calls to the customer service # listed on the websiteComment -
These factors are giving me a bad taste, and this is before a deposit has even been madeComment -
I signed up with bigbetbiz.ag and placed 2 bets. Won about 600 usd. Asked for payout and they closed my account.Comment -

BigBetBiz are scammers who do not payout.
I deposited $350, and had my balance at $1153.
Then I requested a payout and the scammers came to life.
First they said that I didn't meet the rollover requirement, but I showed them that I had.
Then this email:

cs@bigbetbiz.comto me
Hi J,
Since your so interested in getting your money. We are going to refund your deposit. Your account is permanently closed and please understand that your Name will be blacklisted from any future sports book deposit. Your welcome to check our terms and conditions if you have any concerns.
Thank you so much for your attention, BigBetBiz
----
Kind of hard to check terms and conditions when your account has been closed, and I hadn't memorized them, but it's hard to imagine a term or condition that says "You can't get your winnings" or "We can cancel winning wagers", which would have to be what they said.
My deposit was via PayPal, so they started saying that I hadn't let PayPal release the money. I've used Paypal, I'd guess 20 years and had never had to do anything other than send money, so the release part was new. So I contacted Paypal to inquire if the money had been received, and then this.

Your account is close, your requested a refund from paypal. You will be blacklisted in all sportsbook.
---------
As other's stated, they claimed ties to Heritage Sportsbook, which somehow made me think they were legit, but I should have known better.
I hope others see this before they make a deposit so they won't just be throwing their money away.
But stay away from these guys, BIGBETBIZ are a bunch of scammers.

After they pay u.. put a claim in with paypal.. fk that.Comment -
Play where you like, but given that I planned to leave my balance in there till after the Super Bowl and then you come with this, I went ahead and called over there. Charles told me he was familiar with your issue. Then I read your post again ( I've used Paypal, I'd guess 20 years and had never had to do anything other than send money, so the release part was new) and see that it confirms what he said about you having "not even released" the funds from your deposit. So yeah, if I sent and put a paypal block on releasing the funds, then call in for a payout... I'd expect the book to tell me to go kick rocks too.
Then you even tell us that "So I contacted Paypal to inquire if the money had been received, and then this." But you direct us (the readers of your post) to a rebuttal e-mail from the sportsbook, (who was obviously already pissed that you had been playing and requesting a payout without having even released them their funds), rather than tell us whether or not the "sportsbook" got the money from Paypal or not!
So based on your post which confirms that you had a hold/block on the funds being released, and the fact that you admit to contacting Paypal to see if the book ever got the funds, but then don't tell us whether they did or didn't. And based on the fact that dude over there told me the exact same thing, along with the fact that they cashed me out 2k bit in less than 5 hours 2 weeks ago... I gotta call BS on this. I'll let my balance ride till next Monday.
Calling them scammers that don't pay out, but failing to admit that you never released the funds before requesting a payout, I'd say you look like the bigger scammer.
Of course, given that you've used Paypal for over 20 years and had never noticed a hold policy or option, then it could also be a case of misunderstanding on both of your parts. You hadn't released the funds to them, confirmed by you. You requested a payout before having ever released the funds/officially depositing, also confirmed by you. But if this was just a misunderstanding on your part, which I believe it was or else you wouldn't waste your time posting about being victimized, you should probably have explained it to them rather than press for a payout. Dudes are so lax over there that chain was backed up on a nickle I deposited, game was going off the board and still not a single confrim. I called them, they told me to screenshot the transaction and they'd fund 50% of it (with zero confirms) so I could get off on the game. I love betonline.ag, but 3 years ago there was a bottleneck in the chain that lasted like 16 hours and they wouldn't do a thing for me, which given the amount of charge back addicts in the game, I didn't blame them.
BigBet been solid AF with me and 2 of my boys so far. But then again, I've dealt with many books over the years that were solid there first year or 2 only to get stung, so that said, I'm not going to co-sign for any of them.
But when someone comes with victim mentality not even realizing that on paper they appear as the victimizer, I've gotta chime in.
In conclusion: You never deposited, but feel your bonus, winnings, and the initial deposit you never released, where all owed to you. #millennials

Guys,
I'm happy to eat some crow and retract Post #63 in which I made negative comments about BigBetBiz.com.
I was contacted Monday by one of their customer services reps, William, who had looked at my situation with them and my history, and actually put some thought into it.
The rep or whomever I spoke to before thought that because a hold was put on my PayPal payment that I was trying not to pay them. But I didn't put a hold on the payment, and was not aware that it was there. PayPay initially told me they would receive their money the day after I sent it, and said nothing to me about a hold. I've used PayPal over 20 years and never had a hold placed on a payment, but those transactions were within the US. I speculate that when something over a $100 or so goes to Costa Rica a hold is placed automatically. I can place a little blame on PayPal for not telling me.
The initial rep "over-reacted" when he saw a hold and became accusatory towards me. After he made me aware of the hold I released it, but the next email I got was that they were going to keep my winnings (over 3 times my deposit) and return the deposit.
At this point, I became accusatory towards them. My thought was if they were going to keep the my winnings, what would stop them from keeping the deposit too.
Then it just became an email pissing contest.
William took the time to evaluate the situation and realized that no-one in their right mind would try to hold the deposit when he'd won more than twice as much and reached out to me. It took a few emails to get the facts straight. But his level headed approach helped me get my head level towards them, and after showing them some documentation, I was paid today. He also gave me a $100 free play for the misunderstanding, which I didn't ask for and he didn't have to do.
So again, I retract the statement where I called them scammers. Scammers don't pay and they did.
I made a deposit with BigBetBiz.com and was paid $1163, which minus my deposit, was $813 profit. Makes them seem legit to me.Comment -
Lol, wish I was a millennial.
And honestly don't give a flying f what you think or call. I believe if anyone had seen the entire email chain they would have reacted like I did.
I wasn't aware of the hold by Paypal. If I could add attachments, I'd show you what I saw from their site to make me think the funds had been transferred. But I did show those printouts to BetBigBiz, and we worked through the facts and they paid me today. I just posted a retraction to my above post.
Good luck to you in your future wagering.Comment -
Ace7550 & Ksherm,
Please read my retraction.. Someone there looked closely at my transactions and realized that there was a miscommunication and reached out to me. We exchanged messages until we both understood what the other one thought.
Bottom line, they paid me today.Comment -
Glad to hear you got paid and thanks for coming back to update the thread OzzyOzman
