The "backers" are exactly the ones STOPPING them paying people. Do not kid yourself. Every book who relies on funding to stay afloat has an overlord telling them what to do. And it's always aimed at making sure the backer does not lose at the players expense.
Just manage your book properly, pay your withdrawals when asked for them, and no need to talk rubbish about backers. No need for a backer to pay your bills when running an unregulated sportsbook if you operate it professionally.
