    Betonline payout (scam artists) you'll never get paid

    Edit by SBR: BetOnline management addressed the issue - there was a hiccup due to the OP originally cancelling a payout. The player's withdrawal fee was subsequently waived in light of the error and his new payment is on the way.

    Nightmare process, horrible customer service -- guess they are back to their old tactics. 15 days for a courier check.. 15 business days has passed and now they are saying its just an average could take longer.. Customer service is cocky.. They say you'll get it when you get it.. I will never in my life use this book ever again. Only reason i used it is because sbr rated them a+ how in the world is that possible.

    Hi brooklynguy,

    It is true that when couriers are involved time-frames are averaged, it's like ordering something from Amazon. Sometimes you get it in three days earlier than the delivery estimate, sometimes it's a little late. We can tell you though there are no other complaints on file from this sportsbook.

    If you're unsatisfied with the answer BetOnline customer service has provided you concerning your payout, please write to help@sportsbookreview.com with your player ID and we'll ask a senior manager to review the situation.

    This book has been trash since day 1 and all these sites still promote them. I used to use them when they were Best Line Sports before the new owners took over. All their fancy advertisements and internet promotion cant hide the fact that they are scumbags who use slow pay tactics and have even voided winning bets in the past. I dont remember the name or the scam book he came from but their owner or president or whatever was linked to definite known scam books in the past and when his name came out linked to betonline they came out with complete denial. This book sucks and there is honest to god only a couple books even worth using online anymore

    Betjamaica, Legends, man I miss those sites. Those are 2 of the best offshore books of all time

    I dont know if people even use BetPhoenix or any of the JustBet linked sites but those are garbage scammers too.

    I have now been using intertops for probably 5 years exclusively and it is absolutely laughable to me that these rating sites and forums do not have them as an A+++ book. They have never screwed me on a payout and it always comes in the same amount of time. Within 5 days the checks at my house, and within 7 more it clears at my banks. The only downside to intertops IMO is that you cant buy points, but honestly, buying points is for idiots anyway.

    Hi Hatch,

    We're glad you're content with your current sportsbook, but your post is full of inaccurate information. There are no such complaints on file against BetOnline and if you have such a dispute, please file a complaint. Additionally, JustBet is part of the Bookmaker family.

    Sbr Forum.. Why can I not receive tracking information on my check? It is not like Amazon because I don't even have any proof that something has been shipped or when it may come. I get different stories every time I call player services, all have been constant lies. What am I paying a fee for if they just send whenever they want, with a 35$ fee they should send that check express once it's processed which was 3-4 weeks ago.

    You guys sound like new players? One even sounds like an intertops rep. Sbr is here to help us out. However, they're nice enough to reply to simply a non issue. Checks take 2 weeks most of the time but they can unfortunately drag out to 30 days. Betonline pays man. End of story. Been there since 2007 when I first started in this business. Received countless checks. Literally I can't even count them. Calm down. From the words of Aaron Rodgers "RELAX"....

    Brooklynguy is completely accurate at least for the past month with Betonline's payouts. Im not sure if they are having issues with their processors, but they extended the payout time frame for every payout method. ** and ** used to take less than 36 hours now its 5 days. Which is ridiculous especially for all the fees they charge for payouts.
    I requested a payout through ** that supposed to take 36 hours or less, after 5 days they cancelled it and requested a new payout via a deposited to a debit card that i didnt authorize. When I called them they said that it now takes 5 business days, which made absolutely no fuckin sense since it has already been 5 business days. But they still cancelled it and required me to submit another payout request that was to take another 5 business days to process.
    And they have the shittiest customer service. Not only does it take forever to talk to someone either on the phone or live chat, you get a different response every time. And if you begin to get frustrated they get an attitude and end the conversation.

    BetOnline pays fast, both on the player side and the affiliate side. The problem isn't BetOnline, the problem is the US government. I don't live in the States, so I deposit/withdraw via Skrill, and BetOnline is pretty dang fast paying out by Skrill, usually within a few hours.

    In the end, don't bitch about BetOnline. Bitch about the guys that you voted into office that won't let you bet on sports. They're the problem, not sportsbooks.

    My last 6 -7 payouts from Youwager(in Costa Rica) have never taken longer than 5 days, but average 4. Figure on this- 5 days after ship it, it will arrive.

    While I agree with your argument, you fail to explain why other A and A+ books have navigated around government issues and can process payments quickly, while Betonline takes FOREVER, and charge you for the privilege of waiting. If your "government is to blame" argument is 100% true, wouldn't all offshore books be experiencing delays?

    Betonline always pays, but very slowly most of the time.

    Fact #1: I have been paid by Betonline
    Fact #2: Due to Fact #1, the title of this thread is inaccurate.
    Fact #3: Due to Fact #2, the credibility of OP is rubbish.

    Thread over.

    devious thirsty books slow pay..preying on your impatience to blow it before a payout...frustrating..pure garbage tactics imo.....no class and respect for players these days, since they know real A+ books aren't readily available to US players....sad.

    The player had his payout fee waived in light of the delay. There was some confusion caused by his first payout request being cancelled. A manager contacted the player to explain what went wrong and re-send payment.

    I think they're slightly over rated as well.

    That said glad this one is well on it's way to being resolved.

    So if it's not an issue with 3rd party processors who are setup to circumvent US law, then why does BetOnline pay me via Skrill within hours of me requesting it? Wouldn't that show the problem is the processors and not the sportsbook?

    Listen to this guy haha. Are you an affiliate? There's plenty of books that are paying faster then 15 days. We're not going to change elected officials all of sudden so why not be helpful with your comment rather than being a douche.

    Why does Heritage, 5Dimes, Bookmaker, DSI, YouWager rarely ever have issues getting payments out with their processors? I understand your point about Skrill, but other books have figured it out - why hasn't BetOnline?

    Not true, i can assure you those in the Costa Rican Government who regulate these type outfits DO NOT WANT TO BE THE NEXT NIGERIA, they realize a lot of these outfits are run by people not from CR and could screw over people and leave CR and CR will have to eat a bad reputation. Just sayin'

    I want to address my OP and state that Betonline has made things right for my payout. There was a mix up on their end they claim and whether that is true or not, it is what it is. Long story short, BO ended up paying me within the following week of making this post and not only that I made a second payout request via ** and that was paid out in 2 days. Thanks to SBR for their help and thanks to Betonline for making things right. It was rough at first but they came through and they do pay out. The process will require patience.

    Every so often glitches occur at any book

    Betonline is very underrated
