    yep there's two reason why this staff got fired. either BI isn't doing too well, so BI have to lay off some people (which marco is hinting at) or the staff that got fired sucked at their job and jon had to fire for poor performance (which footballtime is hinting at). we probably won't find out the truth cuz it's a matter of he said, she said situation.

    on one side, i personally can't trust jon since he blatantly lied in this thread. and on the other side, i can't really trust a BITTER staff member that was just fired.

    and in the middle, you have dipshits like mike5 who is clueless as usual

    Marco, they didnt claim they were not doing a good job. But obviosly there is some reason they were let go and personally i dont care why they were let go. I have always been paid by Betislands, and Jon has always treated me well. But once again that is my personal experience with Jon and betislands. You do what you feel comfortable doing with betislands, but personally it would take alot more then some one with a sign up date and 1st post to scare me away from a place i have alway been treated well and paid in a timely fashion. Best of luck to you Marco, FBT

    For what it's worth I requested a payout yesterday around 11AM and the money was waiting for me a little after noon.

    Pew Pew you're a dirtball, seriously. If extortion is your thing at least use PM's so the rest of us don't have to read it and Jon can tell you to penetrate off. Extortion isn't funny or entertaining

    Hi Pew,

    We pay our clients , this is not something new.

    If you could find me one single client that has never been paid from Betislands , you will get the benefit of the doubt.

    We do more for our clients than most shops , rebates , bonuses , etc etc.

    It is quite obvious there is an agenda here , but most importantly is there any evidence to show that we are not a good book?

    Yes we had some tech issues for 36 hours due to the upgrade but clients sometimes fail to see the big picture, and I understand that which is why I always do my best to keep everyone happy.

    We have expanded our betting cart , upgraded our software , and many more changes in the next week coming up.

    Our payouts have always gone out like clockwork , and our clients for the most part are always satisfied.

    Cheers

I have so much faith in them i would move from small Mississippi to costa rica and work for these guys! They told me today they are making changes for the good and i agreed with them about that they now have a sales staff and customer service and also a wagering staff all now taking calls, and you can understand the people over the phone as well unlike most books ex: youwager so trust me betislands isn't going anywhere they are only getting stronger!! Ryan and John i know you see this and your welcome

This is the reason that they have been having contact problems and it's not due to upgrades as stated by Jon.
    Good luck if you stay, I have no reason to believe that they will be able to honer their debts anymore. I am going back to 5 Dimes. By the way, Taxer is Jon.

    A top book doesn't have to promote themselves here all the time like Jon does, really how obvious can it get we all had that before here with books like BP and many others.
    Wish I would have known about all of this before I made my last deposits.

    Stay tuned for our new site , and added betting options very soon!

    The info was always there but PT Barnum always had enough circus clowns at the entrance to the tent deflecting.We'll never know how many of these clowns were Jon himself but my guess would be many.

    Now Jon tells us the owner had "legal issues". So we know that the owner really was arrested in October, as stated in the original post of this thread. Gee, could this have had anything to do with the Cantor Gaming/Pinnacle fiasco?

    So SBR knew the owner was arrested in October 2012. Remember, they had "confirmed" the ownership group was solid. So they knew his name. And there's no way they didn't see the Cantor Gaming/Pinnacle story.

    So is it safe to say that John has stated the main reason BI got a B rating was because they had deep pocketed backers? And John also knew these same backers were arrested months ago, hence leaving BI without much financial backing and they maintained their B rating?

    All the same people that lost their money were saying what a great book it is. Rather ironic. Now the blame game starts....

    Reminds me of guys who get married, keep talking how great their wife is, 2 years later she took all their money and getting divorced...

    When you buy a car, do you find "Car and Driver" "reviews" liable when your car takes a shit?

    Specualtion could be made of every single sportsbook in the gambling business. But we have always proven to be one of the fastest and most reliable payout books. Every book has issues but ask yourself when have we skipped a beat on payouts? Have we stopped offering good deals?

    A top book does not need to promote itself? So what is a top book supposed to do ? Turn its back on the players? Not the way Betislands operates.

    If I let go of 2 sales clerks , that means NOTHING to business as a whole. Sales clerks do not affect the financial backing of Betislands or any book.

    Now I read about people doubting us because I am trying to expand the business? Come on guys.. doubt me and Betislands when you see a payout complaint not because we are expanding and had some tech issues in the process.

    yeah this thread is amazing and quite old too. a lot of damage could have been prevented if his warning would have been taken serious

    I liked how jon from bi knew the ip of the OP. Just shows how good friends with sbr he is especially now that they are protecting him by deleting pics and videos with him.
