    BetPhoenix/BetMania Question

    I've heard about all the problems regarding BP lately and their delays in paying out, have the same things been happening at BetMania? Have they been good on their payouts recently?

    I've played at both. If you are a small player then go for betmania, you will get reduced juice (10 cent lines in MLB to -150) and 25% cash. They will limit you if you go on a streak but you will always get paid. Betphoenix on the other hand will let you play big and offer either -105 juice or up to 50% free play (but not both) and will also pay you since it is the same payout dept.

    Just got an email from Bet Mania wanting me to try them. They were offering a $50 Freeplay. They shot it down when they realized I had used some Bet Phoenix promotion before. Told them if I had known they were connected with Phoenix in the first place I would not have bothered.

    I've gotten timely payouts from both BetPhoenix and BetMania in the last two months.

    Ownership at BP is willing to be reasonable and work with players. Ownership at BM isn't.

    Never had a problem with either, and both are pretty much the same if you ask me.

    if you play at and like BP, is there any reason to also use betmania? ( I play at 105 at bp ) .

    I like the SBR stance of "We're waiting for them to start processing in a reasonable time frame." Which is apparently >1 year.

    Its extremely expensive to pay currency exchange fees and a huge waste of time. I'd waste a several hours of my life in addition to paying an absurd sum to do that.

    NT/MB is advertised. It should be serviced.

    They should have money avaliable at all times to pay by whichever means people want.

    was a long time customer (loser) with betmania 3 years had one winning day on the ponies. won 5k. accused by management of being professional lowered limits to $20. only allow to w/d 2k max per month. one free payout a month. took over 35 days to get paid. requested assistance SBR help. without SBR probably never would have gotten paid.
