    What’s weird is these guys treat you better as a person then most books.

    I wish somebody with D pockets wanted to own a book would step in to help.

    These guys could be special with the right financial backing. They really don’t want to stiff anybody.


    Just an observation.


    Glad everybody getting paid. Sucks the wait however.

    Glad you got paid. It’s been exactly 3 months since my first payout request and I’ve got 1 payout for 1K. Still another 26 in there.

    I have 32k stuck here and have been waiting over a month for my first payout.

    This week on Monday I was told that I would be contacted this week. On Thursday I followed up and they said "We will complete soon". I asked when and received no response. Contacted them in the chat today and was told "They will contact you when they are ready to make the transfer" with no timeline on when that would be.

    Who do I need to speak with to get paid here?!
    My balance is now $35,722.88.
    I've been waiting over 2 months for my payout. Still haven't received a single one, with no timeline on when it's coming besides "soon", and soon never seems to come.

    I was told in late February that someone would contact me, nobody has. I now have to send multiple emails in order to get a response.

    Don't understand why everyone seems to be getting paid except me.

    I got a call earlier thinking it was another book. It was these guys . Trying to get me to deposit with all the MM specials. So i said i am watching SBR and it shows you owe a lot of players a lot of money.

    His response was Yes but they are being paid. And we are making sure we pay everyone until everything is done. So i said that is great when i see you paid everyone in there then i may deposit. He then said there are guys in here exaggerating not being paid. I had him at a loss of words at first when i said about SBR. Funny thing is it was SBR that made me want to try them in the first place and SBR that makes me not want to try them now. Why should i play somewhere that if i hit for say $5000 + it will take me a damn year to get my money.

    So i hopefully helped you guys in here bringing up SBR to him thats why i did not deposit and he knows it.

    That's what I said when they called me. "Why should I deposit with you guys when it'll take months to get paid 10k? BOL will pay me 10k in 5 minutes."

    But yea that is pretty much what i said to them once i see the guys in SBR are paid i will think about depositing. With the aggressive way i bet and try for a run i can get at times between $5000-$10000 so why have to wait forever to get $1000 every couple months. And who knows how long that will even keep up . If they finally get a good amount in and make a decent profit of say $100000 do you think they will waste 3/4 of it paying everyone off or just run with it .You just don't know.

    Yea I should have been more vocal. I wanted to give them some leeway since they called me and seemed genuine in getting everyone paid eventually. Then called again 5 minutes after hanging up assuring me my money is safe.

    Still waiting for my first payout, nearly 3 months since requesting it.

    No response to my emails on March 16th and 24th. No response to the text I sent them today.

    Extremely frustrating and disappointing.

    That sucks bro, my guess would be because your balance is so high, lower balances being paid in hopes of deposits? How in the hell did everyone here run up such large balances at this book? 100% Cash bonuses, low roll with free half points? Is BetIsland Jon running this place?

    250% FP and soft lines. That's a recipe for getting beat. Also, when you are a new operation and you are offering big bonuses you are attracting a bunch of sharps, not mushes.

    Simple formula: If you can make a greater number of people—who also happen to be recreational—happy while also cumulatively paying out less money, that’s who they pay first. Winning players with large balances are not a priority because there are fewer of them and they’re not going to give it back.

    When I played there I informed them several times of off numbers. I even TOLD THEM I SHOULD BE LIMITED (“there’s no way I should still be getting $300 on alt lines when I’m bashing your brains in AND you’re having trouble paying people”). I thought it might buy me some good will— doesn’t look like it. What’s worse is that I ran cold at the beginning and have only received 25% of even my total deposits— Nevermind the additional 20k in profit which I’m owed.

    Yeah, I told these dumb shits they had a bad line (off by 10.5 points), and the guy blew me off, and then left it up for two days. Didn't pay me for my bet on it of course, not even a thank you for letting them know.

    I'm having a panic attack. My account is over $53k at YB. I deposited $5k (after they continued to boost bonuses to get me to deposit more and more). I used their FP bonuses on big underdogs, one being St Peters vs Kentucky. Anyway, I wake up this morning, log on and find my account frozen. Chat won't elaborate as to why I'm under review. Only stating "this is rare and something is wrong with your system". I have no system whatsoever...just used the FP's as lotto tickets on big underdogs. I had a rollover of $118k which I'm almost done with...$15k left. And now I'm frozen.

    Anyone else go through this kind of thing? I'm freaking out. I have that money earmarked to pay bills.

    FWIW, I've informed betus and bookmaker multiple times about bad lines. I've never gotten more than a thank you. And sometimes I don't even get that. You think they'd at east kick down a little FP or something.

    I’m still not understanding how people are running up these high amounts at smaller books. It’s baffling to me. Max and I mean max at these smaller books I’d get up to is $10,000.

    That and poor player management is how these books get into hot water.

    Regardless of what happens with your frozen account situation, I wouldn't count on being paid anytime soon.

    This book is flat broke and is only paying out when deposits come in.

    Your 5k is long gone, probably paid out in 1k increments to 5 accounts with lower balances.

    Those accounts are obviously getting pushed ahead and super-slowly being paid with larger balance accounts getting nothing.

    You better find another way to pay those bills.

    Sorry man.

    I hear you but I would guess these balances are ballooning while trying to meet the rollover, not at a time when they have an option to withdraw.

    I think he might be alluding to the idea that you should never be wagering money that you can't afford to lose. If the money is earmarked for bills, then you've gone too far.

    Putting that aside, I truly feel for you and hope this works out, but it's pretty obvious that this book is in financial trouble.

    True, and this is why I'm selective about where I choose to accept bonuses with high rollovers. Some books are riskier with high balances and sometimes play games with rollovers and wagering limits.

    this is exactly the case. just ballooned after the big Kentucky upset and since then was just trying to rollover $118k which I almost did. I'd never run up an account that high.

    Not tmi, just genuinely feel bad for you. 50k is a lot of doe. Most players here seem to be getting paid 1k a month or not at all.

    Maybe it’s this listed in their T&C’s? I dont know your specifics but did you have mgt approval for those lottery tickets?
    The odds on free play wagers are not to be less than -250 nor greater than +250. Unless authorized by management, any wagers placed outside of these wager types or odds will be canceled and any winnings will be forfeited, and the roll over will still be required to be fulfilled to qualify for a withdrawal.

    Agreed. The lack of building in a FP wager limit while at the same time being capable of building in a cash balance wager limit doesn't add up.
