    Betislands Is Officially Done

    Called about my payout request from yesterday. After they hung up on me twice, they finally admitted that no money is going out today. Or probably ever. Dont be dumb like me and deposit there ever again. RIP BETISLANDS.

    I requested a payout at 5dimes on Monday...Took the typical 10 minutes to do (annoying), But I know it'll be in my account on Friday.

    Someone should email them to see if they are still taking deposits.
    However, them saying no money is going out today doesn't indicate that they are not going to payout ever again. Definitely a bad sign, though.

    Although I seriously question the long term viability of BetIslands, I doubt they would actually tell someone they are never going to pay.

    They didn't directly say they were done paying. They just told me no money was going out today. This is already the 2nd day. Then she had no answer for when, if ever, I was getting paid. "Processor issues". We all know very well what that means. Had houston won last night I would have probably gotten paid today.

    Quite different than your original post, but thanks for putting the board into a panic over a book that seems to be on the edge of a cliff.

    The over is what got them, too. That and the Pack the night before. Now they have to wait for another public burial before money is available again.

    Yep, this book is solid as a rock.

    He did the board a favor. Anyone who trusts this book needs to reevaluate.

    Hello and welcome to December 3rd.

    they have been having processor issues for over a week

    No checks are going out...so everyone is probably using P2P. I'm sure they are reaching their max limit almost daily with people withdrawing.

    No argument there. But, just to be fair, have they ever completely failed to pay anyone?

    They have been having processor problems for a lot longer than a week. The real question in this situation is whether it's really a processor problem. And it's hard to get a grasp on what the real truth is on a board with a bunch of gamblers who freak out at the drop of a hat. Probably does not help anything when threads like this start a run on funds with everyone wanting to withdraw at the same time.

    That being said, it's hard to believe the homepage still says "same day payouts". Getting rid of promises you can't keep would eliminate most of the negative threads about BI.

    ETA: I am guilty as anyone of freaking out and running here to post when they don't pay on time. But, I'm not sure anyone really needs to freak out until there is a documented instance of them not paying, as opposed to not paying on time.

    Your probably right. But after getting hung up on, twice, I pretty much knew what it is.

    hopefully it is only processor issues ( i am praying). But there customer service has been so poor recently. processor issues/poor communication is bad. proccesor issues/ good communication can be bearable.

    I'm not insulting you, I've been there, done that. Just trying to figure out where the reality really lies here. I mean, are all the people badmouthing this place just doing it because of late payments, where "late"=days as opposed to months. I am asking this as a serious question.

    You can rest assured I'll be splitting BI's domes at the 2013 Bash if this info proves to be true.

    (Unless there's a scheduling conflict. In which case I'll be splitting domes at the 2014 bash.)

    You can bet your ass on that!

    I can see being late. But when I ask "when am I getting my money, or if at all?", then the phone goes silent........its a problem.
