    They have a nice selection of tracks now but the next step is adding more exotic bets and raising the brutal wps caps. I believe they're 15-1 win, 6-1 place 3-1 show.

        Oh really, no hassle with them trying to get you to deposit? First impressions mean nothing these days... it's last impressions that actually matter. Also:

          They were very cordial to me when I was enquiring about their shop. The Rollover on a 35% cash bonus was too high for me though.

          One thing I have learned.......

          Being nice doesnt mean one has money. Time will tell. I hope they succeed.

They are trying hard-but make sure you know exactly every detail of every action you take-trying hard to put things together still.gl all


            Hi Blackbox,

            Like I have explained before we outsource our wagering clerks so they would not be able to help you in your cashout process and would have to transfer you over to CS in order to complete your request. I will review the chats myself from last night and I will contact you today and I am sure if you have any issues they will be resolved.

            @OSU

            Thanks for your feedback , over the years I have not missed a beat on a payout or let any players down , I do not intend in starting now.Regarding our financial situation I think SBRs insight on their newswire on how Betislands is run and backed by established bookmakers should also put you at ease.

            The doors will always be open to you and looking forward in seeing you around for football.



            Never hesitate to contact me guys I am here for you and to help you have a smooth ride.

            Cheers!

            Jon

                      Wish to say Jon did just call me back- he stands behind what his people tell you over phone or chat- he made a right call on the situation,and did an honorable act. Thanks Bet-Islands for putting forth good will. Guys wish I could go into more detail- but my typing would take me all day long.

                          Means, if you make the 8x rollover requirement you can only cash out $100. That's better than nothing to try out a new service!

                              well I cashed out 211 dollars on a 500 deposit had a few problems dont wanna badmouth the book I think there trying hard. Customer service was great Had 5 or 6 misgrades all winners to losers.

Misgrades happen but would expect to see both ways lol. They did pay very quick 30 minutes Just not sure ill use them again felt like i was always complaining.

                                      Jon did me right- feel bad to have to have things not work perfectly-however I have made so many mistakes I broken 2 calculators keeping track. Jon thanks sincerely.

                                            I was holding off posting about Jon and betislands till now.
                                            I spoke with Jon on the phone last week (I think it was a fluke he picked up) as I was generally inquiring about their operation, management, and what we can expect from them moving ahead.
                                            I would put Jon right up there with Scotty from BetJm.
                                            Those who recognize my handle and know my posts will appreciate this report.
                                            I know Jon wants to break away from 'the pack' and in my eyes he's doing all the right things.
                                            I would stop posting and quit this site if I ever needed to be a shill for anyone --- That includes both good or bad Un-warranted reporting.

                                            Jon don't make me look bad:-)

                                              FWIW, I probably made a couple hundred bets at betislands and I only had one wager graded incorrectly (tennis) and it happened to be in my favor..I'd assume they were just using an unreliable source for their Japanese baseball results, I'm sure your experience wasn't intentional..

                                                      I have also had a pretty good experience there. I like their MLB lines a lot.

                                                          My biggest complaint is no live betting. But they are new so I will be patient.

                                                                      You are right . Canadians who use MB will never go back to W/U even with the bonus perks it's not worth it .
                                                                      It's like asking someone "you wanna walk 100 miles or drive " . I can get same bonus with other books without leaving my home , same with a payouts .

                                                                      With MB I would definitely give them a try .
