Heres the press release:
Former Executives of Nine.com, BetOnSports and Evolution Software to Manage New Online Gaming Site LazerWager.com
San Jose, Costa Rica, September 15, 2007 --(PR.com)-- 5 former executives of well known gaming brands Nine.com, BetOnSports, Evolution Software and others have been brought in by UK ownership group to manage new gaming brand LazerWager.com.
“We are pleased to welcome some key executives to our team and our management staff such as Robert Evans, Eve Mindel, Fred St. John and handicapping expert Carlo Campanella providing exclusive content, as well as other key people with 50 years combined online gaming experience to the team. This amount of experience is almost unheard of in this tumultuous, but still growing industry” says Nina Pendleton- a LazerWager spokesperson. “especially for a start-up.”
“In spite of the UIGEA (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act) being passed in the US and months of debate, our board decided to press on, expecting promising developments related to the recent WTO rulings against the US online gambling and an ever growing desire by its citizens and some politicians such as Congressman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) to repeal the UIGEA, thereby positioning ourselves as prime player in the space once the dust has settled” Pendleton says further.
LazerWager is proud to offer betting on all major sporting events, horse races, entertainment, current events, politics etc., in a very player-friendly website, but is more excited about its LiveDealer Casino application which allows players to play various casino games with actual live dealers over the internet, just as if you were in a Las Vegas casino.
“This is a revolutionary product that will change the face of online casinos” Pendleton further says. “There is nothing like being able to interact with a live dealer over the internet where you can see and hear every hand being dealt or spin of the wheel, all in real time as it is happening which minimizes any chance of player distrust as many have with poorly configured RNG (random number generator) digital casino software which can be manipulated to increase the house edge. “ “At LazerWager we can promise great lines, great service and great fun.” Pendleton concludes.

Lazer Wager = Crooks
I tried them and I got beat out of my $300 deposit and the $507 I won sport betting. Stay a way use an established company.
They do have very good liars though. If you like to hear loads of lies then they're the company to use.Comment -
BIGGamer
I deposited $300 with them and the casino didn't work but the sportsbook did. I had requested a refund of my $300 and originally they stated they would. When I never saw the refund I called back and was transfered to a female Named EVE. She was rude and basically called me a crook because she thought I already disputed the purchase with my credit card but that was untrue. The only thing she went by was i emailed my pay call and asked them for a refund but the email and the refubd never came. I was told by Eve she didn't want people like me with AOL software that couldn't navigate through their site. I filed a dispute with the Bank of America my credit card company and lost. I was told that they don't refund from gaming sites,however after I threatened to close my credit card acct the Bank Of America credited me $300. This was on their own and they never received a dime from MY PAY CALL OR LAZER WAGER. I thought about what had occurred and decided that Lazer Wager had no right to keep that $300. I went back to the sports book and bet a few games and got my total up to $807. When I went to cash out the woman reviewed my acct and told me that I had played enough to take everything out and sent me a credit card purchase authorization and requested that,my license and the credit card be faxed to them and I would get my money. I called a few minutes later to see if they received the fax and I was put on with EVE again who stated they would pay me nothing. I was then put on with Joe bartoli who tried to work things out promising me a refund by NOV 6th. I did not believe him and as it turned out he was lying also. In between all this I was contacted by Jay trying to get me to deposit more into my acct. I told him never and the story about Eve and he told me Eve was fired. (just another liar working there). I told the Bank of America I was going to use the site after they credited my acct and they told me not to deposit anymore in there but they didn't care what I did with that acct and if a refund was issued they would love to get their money back.
Bottom line Lazer Wager kept my deposit and my winnings. If they did refund my acct then they would of closed my acct, and I wouldn't of been able to bet 5 extra games .They did not and said that was a mistake. How could a gaming site refund someones deposit and allow that player to keep playing? They were hoping I lost so that would of justified them for not issuing a refund.Comment -
Thats why you only play with books your familiar with, a lesson I learned a year ago from that betus runaround ordeal.Comment -
Lazer Wager is a scam
Again I was given the money from the Bank OF America who only did this because I stated I would close the acct which I use for $40,000 a year. Lazer Wager denied my refund and in essence kept my deposit which the bank took out of its own funds. Lazer Wager gave back NOTHING. Infact I could leave the part of the Bank giving me back my $300 out because it had nothing to do with Lazer Wager. I'm just being truthful.
It's like me saying the same story and that my dad gave me the money back. Lazer Wager has NO record of retuning my charge and therefore my acct was open and my winnings should of been paid. What company gives a refund and keeps the acct open so the refunded player can gamble 5 more bets over the next 2 weeks? They only discover this after you beat them and want to cash out. Then they state the refund was given and the acct was MISTAKENLY left open. What a joke.Comment -
If you would of lost that money they would of gladly accepted it.
So you are saying that B of A gave you $300 just to keep you as a customer and they never tried to get it from Lazerwager?Comment -
We play at top books onlyComment -
If anyone cares here's what the book had to say. Gary, banks don't give you $300 out of their own pockets. You have 10 posts here contributing nothing but saying they are a scam. You have 7 posts on Part time poker saying they are a scam, you have posted on Yahoo they are a scam. Did you ever take this up with SBR and file a complaint? Probably not.
From what I can see you charged back your card and took a shot at them. You will never get paid any winnings when you charge back your deposit.
I am not really a fan of lazer, their lines are suck, limits are low and rumors of who is behind it rampant. When someone who actually contributes here tells me they are a scam I'll take that warning far more seriously.Comment -
If anyone cares here's what the book had to say. Gary, banks don't give you $300 out of their own pockets.
Wrong because mine did. I guess they made the choice not to lose $40,000 a yr in charges for the next @ 15 yrs.
This is a betting site and if you bet me on that you'd lose.
I have played with Nine.com and BoDog and have been a very good customer reuping more than I ever withdrew.
Do you think that this is a major scam I devised to deposit $300 and ask for a refund?
This is all about principle,It could of been $100 for all I care. They took my money ,the casino didn't work I was promised a refund and then Eve decided she would pocket my money.
If you don't believe me then be my guest and sign up with Jay 1866-375-7056. Im new here because this never happened to me in my life. I guess Ive been lucky that this is the worst that happened since the Bank Of America refounded my original $300. I just felt there was no reason to not issue the refund the day I told them that the site didn't work and they agreed that AOL doesn't work well with their software. When I called to find out about the refund Eve told me to shove it. Do what you want. Its your money.
By the way I like Denver-3 and over 44 and I'm playing it on BoDog.Comment -

By saying they have documentation doesn't prove squat because I can show that they never issued a refund and if there was anyway to prove it over the net I would. What have they showed that can convince you they credited my credit card? I'd love to see it and so would my bank.
What could I possibly gain by bashing Lazer wager?(nothing) and what can Lazer Wager gain by denying my Claim? (everything as they have lots to lose by failing to refund a players money or not honoring winning bets).
I admitt I offered them a quick settlement to end this dispute. Settlements are made everyday. I don't see why you have such a hard time understanding that. I also question why you back them without any proof when their motive for lying is much stronger than mine. Infact I would not be posting here at all except I hate to be taken advantage of. I wonder if you yourself are not an employee of Lazer wager or being offered a free bet or two to bash my version. Again please tell me what purpose it would serve me to bash this company if they gave me a refund I requested. Why would I not take my refund and go on? When you come up with a reason please let me know. The truth is Lazer Wager is a SCAM. I also feel you should sign up with them and transfer your money to this D rated company.
This will be my last bash of this company I believe I have gotten my point across to enough people that I at the very least have evened things out. Believe what you want I can't change the way you think,but I wish some guy posted about them the way I did before I signed up with them. Thank the Lord I only deposited $300 and not more like I do with BoDog, a great company I may add.Comment -
They say they offered you a refund but you refused it since you had already initiated a **********. Honestly, their story appears to be significantly more credible than yours.
You have nothing to gain since you got the ********** credited back to your account and there seems no way that you'll get the fraudulent balance back from LazerWager - all you're doing is going through your threat of bashing LazerWager on the forums but it's not quite having the desired effect. Similarly LazerWager have got nothing to lose - they've shut the account of someone who thinks that a ********** is a good way to deal with a situation. No book wants clients like that.
You've offered no proof. In your initial thread, I actually advised you to contact SBR directly to help you in this matter since they have a very good record of getting monies from books who are trying it on with their customers.
Anyone who had a case and wasn't an out-and-out scammer would have contacted SBR. Did you?
Just because I think you're fraud automatically makes me a worker for LazerWager?
That's a relief.
And bear in mind the fact that you've shown LazerWager to be an efficient company in terms of exposing scammers. To this end, the episode has probably helped them enormously.Originally posted by pags11Originally posted by BuddyBearOriginally posted by curiousComment -

tomorrow I will contact the Bank Of America and I will ask them to email me . I will ask them if they ever received or initiated a refund with Lazer Wager or MY pay Call. I will then copy and paste their reply. I will even ask them to state if they reimbursed my $300 on their own. When I post this, will that convince you?
Post your response before I waste my time. If its just going to be for nothing I won't waste my time.
If they do provide all the info related to this dispute will that shut you up? Just curious.
I disagree with many things you post. Having Scam come up when company name is googled is terrible for business.
I know I have talked many out of signing up with this company. All ex Betcom players.
Lazer Wager will be out of business by the end of 2008 at the latest.Comment -

LOL YEAH THAT MAKES ALOT OF SENSE. I REFUSED THEIR REFUND. WHY? YOU can't posibly be that stupid. Maybe you can. I never met you . So let me get this straight I wanted a refund and they said Ok and then I refused it,only so I could get my bank to give me their money so I could post on this MB how Lazer Wager doesn't give refunds. Yes Thats it, why take the refund from the company i requested it from and simlify things.
Also genius your telling me that they issued a refund and I refused it stating I already did a charge back and they left my acct open. Are you really that gullible? Do really believe they could be that sloppy. Thats unbelieveable they keep refunded accts open and when I called for a cashout the woman who reviewed my acct stated that I could withdraw the monies and never stated the acct was closed. Only Eve caught this and told me the acct was open in error.
PS A guy named Joe actually tried to allow me to keep the acct active and stated he would mail my bank the refund by NOV 6th which means no refund was ever issued when I made my bets. Why would he make me that offer if he thought I was scamming them? I admitted to be willing to agree to a settlement as I wanted nothing to do with them. see if Joe admitts to offering me to credit my deposit and keep my acct active.Comment -
I don't see what that will do. LazerWager said that you initiated a ********** and they have got documentation to prove it. Read the thread you started here.
And I'll ask this again:
In your initial thread, I actually advised you to contact SBR directly to help you in this matter since they have a very good record of getting monies from books who are trying it on with their customers.

I guess there's a first time for everything. Finally a copy/paste job by taco proves that this guy's a scammer.
Good work taco. Just don't save this to the clipboard so you don't use it 10 times before the end of Oct.Comment -
Lazer Wager Is a Scam
Ok then no need to furnish proof you guys have your minds made up and so I will now go on bashing Lazer Wager.
I guess as Lazer dan was able to post he was also able to have two of his clowns also post and try to back his side and that shows how low class they really are.
Maybe tomorrow my family,coworkers and friends will open accts here and tell you how stupid you guys really come off.
However I won't as my truth speaks for itself.
Since you thought my bashing has helped Lazer wagers business then they will be real happy when they see how I get to take this up a notch. Nov will be a great month for Lazer Wager and Eve and company.
Now its all for fun on my part. Lets see how much fun I can have with them real soon. Take care losers I'm out of here I made my point LAZER WAGER IS A SCAM. LOL
Posters promising jobs with Lazer Wagers number will be posted all through out the Day Laborers neighborhoods. The time to call will be Sunday between the 1:00 and 4:00 football games. Thats just the beginning but it only gets better from here. This is going to be fun. I wish I could say more but I can't give any details to the big suprise. lolComment -
Sorry, but it doesn't. The only person here who believes your story is you.
But still, I'll ask again:
In your initial thread, I actually advised you to contact SBR directly to help you in this matter since they have a very good record of getting monies from books who are trying it on with their customers.

After reading everything available in this thread and beyond, it looks pretty clear cut to me Taco. This guy doesn't have a case at all.
BTW Raiders, Since when did hell freeze over anyways. I never thought I'd live to see the day when you gave props to Taco
Comment -
LOL BBD, I post a little info (I just googled gary's name) and taco runs with it while I"m watching MNF. I would say he never did contact SBR to get things resolved if he really did get scammed. I too am not one to side with the books but in this case it seems pretty clear.Comment -
20four7 and taco straight put it down in this thread good job.
I had my doubts as well, gary sounds a little fishy and I don't really blame LazerWager for anything they did.Comment -
As Director of Operations, I wanted to explain what this complaint is about and restore the good name of LazerWager.com
NOTE: Bottom line is that this guy “Gary,” real name xxxx. from New York, is a SCAMMER and I am posting his real name here so others in our industry can blacklist him and not get taken by the same scam!!!
This player called us complaining about losses and told us to close his account as he already told his credit card company to give him a charge back. (we had offered him a full refund in order to bypass the CC **********, but he told us no, that the ********** has already been requested.) At this point in time, the only thing we could do was wait to hear from the CC company about this **********.
After making this call to us, he DID NOT use his account for over 21 days...obviously waiting for the ********** and acknowledging that his account was longer valid for his use.
We eventually received notice from the CC processor that he DID request ********** and that we would NOT be receiving any money from this players account. (If an independent source wants a copy of this information we would be happy to provide it!!!)
At this point, we went in to officially close his account, but saw that he had been using the account for the last few days (following that 23 day absense) and had profited several hundred dollars. He requested a payout of these funds and told him that we will NEVER receive his initial deposit due to his **********, and since we're not a credit shop, the account is considered to be invalid, and NEVER opened since funds were not (and will not ever) be received from him.
It should also be said that this player tried to call us and "make a deal" by giving us 1 hour to pay him $250 of his winnings or he would "blast us on all of the forums." If the winnings were truly his, why would he accept 1/3 of the payment???
We will NOT be paying this player at all, and have blacklisted him from our site. We suggest that all other books do the same as he has no issue charging back on his accounts. I am available for any future questions and would love to show the documentation on this players account to an unbiased 3rd party.

Scam And Spam What Low Lifes
New Internet Gambling Site Must Stop the Madness
A ridiculous new sportsbook by the name of Lazer Wager has been spamming everybody and their mother. This is certainly nothing new for the industry. But it is the items they are spamming that has Gambling911.com and others in online gambling livid.
"Lazer Wager is attempting to capitalize off the misery of others through senseless marketing promotions," explains Payton O'Brien, Gambling911 Senior Editor.
Case in point, on Monday, the startup website sent out a press release offering a $10,000 reward for anyone who could identify an arsonist in last week's devastating Southern California fires.
"These people are trying to feed off the news. They must not realize that thousands of people in and around San Diego lost their homes. This is truly a pathetic attempt to try and get their company name listed among news related t the fires in hopes of having people deposit money. It's really sickening."
The company, started by former Nine.com management, has acted irresponsibly and in no way, shape or form represents the Internet gambling industry.
"Additionally LazerWager is giving each displaced resident $15 to play in our casino," the company stated in a press release.
"These are people that lost everything they had," says O'Brien. "You really think they give two ****s about a $15 free play in some fly by night online casino. Gimme a break!"
O'Brien has every right to take this personally.
"I lost a loved one in this tragedy. These idiots at Lazer Wager need to get their heads out of their asses!"

Thanks Chris Costigan Great Job
I couldn't agree more with the article written by Christopher Costigan, Gambling911.com Publisher.
Lazer Wager has no morals or ethics and to try and take advantage of the victims in Calf is as low as as they can sink. I also have heard stories of them not paying out on winning bets and Scamming. This gives the whole industry a bad name. Thanks please keep up the good workComment -
You might have missed my earlier question, Gary11746.
Did you contact SBR with details of your complaint?Originally posted by pags11Originally posted by BuddyBearOriginally posted by curiousComment -
Certainly that kind of marketing is more than inappropriate. Sportsbooks sending out unsolitcited e mails is one thing which they all do. I have gotten e mails, and personal mailings from books I"ve had nothing to do with.
The california fire "marketing" is just classless and tasteless. They deserve their customers leaving on mass over this. The genius that thought this up deserves his ass served up on a platter.Comment -
Hello.. I am Matt Johnson, a marketing director here at Lazerwager, I have never posted in any forum before but I just wanted to advise that I offer my personal apologies if our donation to the person whose information leads to finding the culprit in the CA. fires somehow offended anybody. Putting Gary11746´s ridiculous claims aside for now and simply responding to the donation issue, Lazerwager, while not an advertiser here or on the gambling911.com site which shockingly had turned our good deed into a negative somehow, I can attest that our intentions were completely ingenuous.
I know this because I was part of the team lead by Robert Evans former exucutive of Nine.com and now with Lazerwager which brought 2 semi-truckloads of food and supplies to those people who suffered from Hurricane Katrina, so I know for sure his intentions here are also legitimate. As far as the $15 for the affected victims, we now see how that could have been misinterpreted by some people, but we spoke to a few of our friends who were forced from their homes and they thought it was a nice gesture to offer..not great.... but nice, maybe not for everybody... especially those who lost their homes, friends or worse, family members. Our hearts go out to those people. But as a marketer both in gaming and the corporate world, I know that like many marketing initiatives or good deeds, some will appreciate it.. some wont-it .And just as the press release said it was nothing more than offer to help them have some free gaming entertainment.."We hope that once they get back into their homes, resettled and getting on with their lives, they can enjoy an hour or 2 of some home based gaming entertainment to take their minds off of the situation for a little while and possibly win a few bucks too" ... At least we tried to do something. What did you do?Comment -
