    NOT TO ALL I HAD SOMETHING ELSE HAPPEN JUST LIKE THIS. I HAD A 10K BALANCE THEY PAID ME 5K AND WHEN I WENT TO TAKE OUT THE NEXT 5K THEY TOLD ME (IN-GAME BETTING) DIDN'T COUNT.

    THIS WAS AFTER I HAD ALREADY BEEN TOLD I HAD MET THE ROLLOVER AND HAD BEEN PAID HALF MY BALANCE. I DID THEN MEET THE ROLLOVER (IT WAS STRANGE TO SAY THE LEAST)

    I have gone back and feel that if you don't take rollover nothing happens. If you do play there NEVER EVER EVER take there rollover.

        BetUS

        Once a thief, always a thief. BetUS are run by criminals. Stay away from them or you may be next to get your winnings stolen.

          With that being said, a former employee of BetUS detailed to me one night how they have a detailed plan on how to make it next to impossible for anyone to ever cash out after claiming a bonus.

          I'll still with BetJam and a few others offshore that leave me alone and pay me when I win.

                Great video Justin, and as someone else said it's great to get this info out there before football season.

                  Crap like this is why I wish there was a way to sue BETUS. In this unregulated industry, they must feel as if they can steal from players and know that there is nothing anyone can do about it. I guess they could also care less about bad reviews and ratings.

                  I hope one day they steal from the wrong person- and that person makes a personal visit to their office.

                      I had this same problem with Betus several years ago about the time that Cascade was going down as well. I spent about 3 months scalping my money out with small bets vs. Pinny. Lost some vig but better than not getting paid.

                        betus has given me trouble one time cashing out, other than that they have paid me on time. However, they are snakes. Not only do they give me worse lines than regulars, my limits are reduced. A regular can bet 2.5k per parlay, I can only do 500. But, im not really surprised by this and expected it.

                          I have never considered or ever will depositing a dime in the sportsbook. My bro almost did but I insisted he read my google search and still almost did it. Their calenders are very convincing lol.

                            I've seen many others play here and withdraw without problems (though many have found the rollover rules to be somewhat fluent), but somehow I knew that eventually it would kick off here and it looks like it's on the way.

                            Interesting comment. If that were the case SBR clearly don't want to support them now do they? If I were the owner of media which rated books and accepted a bribe to up somebody's rating, I would at least hope that the said book would use the increased rating "wisely". I am certainly not saying that is the case here - i'm not saying it's not either.....I just don't know. However one thing I do know is that when speaking to sh*t books and asking them about a lower SBR rating - their reply is often "well we don't pay SBR for ratings like the others do".

                            We,l they would say that woudln't they?

                              Great video Justin and thanks for exposing these thieving shit books for what they are, fuk'in crooks! You made an excellent point, for every complaint you investigate, there's probably ten more that never get reported and players just end up getting ripped off. I vote for an immediate downgrade to F in their rating, F as in you will get " Fuk'ed" if you deposit with betus!

                                  A fool and his money are soon parted.....

                                  When will you guys learn? As a rule of thumb (with bookmaker the exception), the more Adobe flash on a sports book's site, the higher the chance of getting stiffed. Also relentless mailers, outrageous bonuses (60% bonus + Yacht but must be rolled over 400 x.), are dead give-aways to poor business models. I'll take my no-bonus, and -110 vig and play at the Greek. Have a Nice Day

                                    betus is and always has been a crook book. i have $50 limits there and I'm not even sure i'm up more than a grand on that site...its a joke. if you're trying to roll over for a bonus, forget about it. they'll disqualify it seven ways to sunday.

                                    thanks for posting this and you should tack it to the top

                                    but you want to know whats really funny....betus has a C rating on SBR, matchbook is right next to it with a B-. matchbook has never had a single player problem that wasn't resolved satisfactorily EVER (E-V-E-R)...just goes to show that you need to keep paying SBR in order for your rating to be high.

                                      I hope you go on a killer run and make as much as you can from these crooks, but I'd be concerned even more so with a 5 figure balance there. I'd keep getting payouts, and keep the balance as low as possible if you must continue to play there. I'd hate for you to be another one of their victims.

                                            thx for the video Justin. Once i have deposited there, they gave me the freeplay, but after all information that i have read here, i have tryed to cancel free play. I was told it's impossible, bla bla bla... but after asking few times supervisors (Brad), they finally canceled free play.. uff..

                                                              The funny thing is some of these books that use the above term have $5,000 and higher limits on NFL games.

                                                              What recreational player bets $5K and up on individual games?

                                                              I think there are a surprising number - at least in the UK, the larger books have specialist divisions that cater to specific demographics: typically younger guys with lots of spare cash (sports stars, celebs, stockbrokers etc), and guys in their 50s who've done well over a career.


                                                              Anyway, betus = dodgy as ****. Avoid.

I supplied all the required documents and still gave me a hard time. Never again! Who wants to pay that Crazy Juice anyway! Thanks Justin7
