    instead of think or reading my posts you have decided because there is losing players they profit from they do not steal.

    great job, great critical thinking skills.
    rest assured I have read all your posts sir. you haven't provided any proof to your accusations. but since you insisted I googled it and found that video in which justin7 says that usually bwin have been very good at cooperating regarding disputes. the isolated incident which was classified as theft was actually resolved.

    where are those numerous disputes that bwin do not discuss? any links please? or are you just writing for the sake of it?

    I can't just trust what you are saying just because of your attitude of superiority (even though you might be superior sir). you have to come with some facts, not just words. where is your proof that they steal money and they refuse mediation on any cases like you say?

    How can there be thread about disputes when they refuse to anwser anything. Friend had a dispute SBRlou said sorry they don't deal w us and ignored the rest of my friends emails.

    Not wasting my time explaining more to someone who works hard to obtain and bet points.

    Justin7,

    How can Bwin remain B- when they refuse to discuss disputes with anyone, including SBR.

    They don't get a whole lot of complaints. It's actually kind of weird. I used to handle 10 complaints a month, at least. When they stopped answering, the number of complaints dropped to about 1 or less. I think there were forums somewhere telling players to contact us, because many complaints were emailed to me directly.

    When I was working with Bwin, there were never any real issues. I can't remember ever disagreeing with the final resolution (maybe there were some small issues, but nothing I recall).

    They are certainly solvent financially. I think B- is fair, and perhaps higher. There's a big difference between Bwin not answering a complaint that looks like a fraud issue versus Betfair refusing to answer issues that look slam-dunk in favor of the player. But then, I think Betfair should be about a C+ book for pro-players.

    If a book refuses to deal with SBR, there are often other avenues. Which book were you referring to?

    In one year you can convert points in goods and cash to the total value of about 200 euros. In my country that's one month's salary.

    So I should make complaints over and over at SBR so you can record complaints?

    I can't figure out why people would stop asking SBR for help, when they refuse to talk to SBR or anyone else for that matter.

    B-= doesn't talk to SBR

    Justin7,

    Does it not seem unreasonable to file complaints over and over again for Bwin after being informed they won't deal with SBR.

    My buddie might be willing to post here. I told him to get sbr's help and Lou ended up ignoring him after informing him that Bwin doesn't talk to SBR.

    Again ill ask: How can a book be B- if they don't discuss disputes and are stealing EV repeatedly from players with no repercussions.

    Wow, I am spoiled. I cash out at Pinnacle 5g+ that takes less than 30 minutes using MB, less than 4 hour at 5Dimes, and back in my poker day... Stars and Party takes is less than 24hr. Party is around 4hr last time I recall.

    Now I am waiting for a 2g cashout from B+ site over 3 days now and I am a bit worry (worry they looking a excuse to close my account and confiscate my balance). They doing security check and ask me to sent in the docu. I sent it in over 24hr ago and no reply so far. How many day should I give them before I file a complain?

    If you requested the payout via check or wire, you have pretty much zero chance of receiving it.

    over 3 weeks and still have not received my payout

    11/13 DC(floor manager) left a massage for me, he wants to send me the funds by **

    11/14 I called him and left a massage

    11/15 I called again, DC says he was told the check was sent on 11/12 but DC says he cant give me the tracking number, he says he doesn't have it

    As of today I still have not received my payout, when I login to my account it still says "Approved" not paid for my payout, no tracking number, the status of my payout has not changed, I have not received the check but DC tells me it was sent on 11/12

    Did it not occur to you when BOL puts out shitty numbers with a tiny limit that they are trying to get people to deposit and maybe their just not that financially secure.

    You keep a big balance at any book that accepts US players your just asking for trouble.

    Oh and the SBR book ratings are complete garbage. When we have a book like Heritage straight up rip off a player, deal dual lines, move numbers on air, adjust teaser odds to their favor, limit anyone's account to 100 max bet that is up money, etc. Then you bring up these concerns to SBR they tell you to fuk off and it's just risk management that maybe the rating system is not on the up and up.
    I disagree. I've been paid over $20 K on numerous occasions by Bookmaker. I'm not bragging, still down a fortune. Just sharing my personal experience. BM pays every time

    Play as Bookmaker. Sure, the payout fees could be expensive and they limit you to 1 payout per week. It's all worth it because they are proffesional and more importantly- YOU WILL GET PAID!!!! Heritage is good too, but BM is the best IMO.

    Good idea. All I need to do is get my BOL funds into Bookmaker. Why didn't I think of that?

    Requested another $8k Skrill payout last week.

    They e-mailed that they wouldn't be able to process it and asked for instructions to bankline me the funds.

    They are now officially down to only Eastern Union, Cash Gram, and Bankline payouts

    They also have drastically cut my limits so my cash in there is completely idle.

    Unfortunately/fortunately I have been winning there and balance is over 3x what it was a few weeks ago.

    Why does SBR remain silent on the issue of one of its B+ books only being able to process a few of their several posted payout methods?

    Now I will likely be waiting months to receive an 8k wire. The last time I tried this (with Lowvig), it turned into an 8 month debacle.

    I would be very interested in a substantial b2b out of BOL and into a reputable book, even at a loss.

    Yes, but we are all accountable to the choices we make. While BOL was getting tons of complaints, Mathy was one of their biggest supporters. He stayed with them because of the +ev opps there, which I can understand. Slow-pay is the cost for playing with D Books. Glad he's getting paid, but it shouldn't be that big a shock to him.

    BOL and all related Books suck.Their B+ rating is bought and paid for on this forum.

    Unfortunatly i bring bad news for you boyz. Probably you all read my thread and my issues with BOL regarding document harasment, deleting wagers and cutting down my limits to 100 usd on all soccer and all tenis wagers. In thier gold age when everyone here praised them i had several large Moneybookers withdrawal with no problem.

    Yesterday they sent me an e-mail offering 900 usd freeplay for 2000 usd deposit. ??!!
    I asked this guy that sent me an e-mail to raise my limits to 500 usd first and than we will talk. I was sure there is no way they will do that, and i tried to bluff them. But suprise, suprise. He replyed in few minutes saying he will see what can he do about it and just few hours later i got mail from him that he managed to raise my limits to 250.

    So, all is clear now. They are in major financial problems, they dont have money to pay balances of existing accounts and lurking for new victoms to deposit. I am not crazy to deposit 2000 usd to a bancrupt book no matter what bonus i get, as it is all only play money not real.

    If Lou, Bill and someone else from SBR (i need 3 at least) are willing to guarantee for my money is safe at Betonline and vouch for it with their personal money if i dont get paid there i will consider depositing 2k.

    That will probaby help someone here to get paid.

    So, any vouchers SBR?
