    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:-)
    Jon's a good kid, but he's not in the same league as Scotty yet. I have to commend BetIslands for the quick payouts during the off season and I wish them well. God knows the industry has taken a beating so its good to know options are still out there. Lets hope they continue to prove themselves and not let others make stupid lines mistakes that jeopardize their hard work.

          Like I have mentioned before I do not send anyone to shill for betislands nor ask any posters to mention us on this board, SBR is more than welcome to ask players for proof of payments or screenshots of their accounts.

          I always say solid CS and fast payments gets you a long way in this business and that is what I try to focus on the most.

          I let the ay the shop is run speak for itself , and as always payouts speak louder than words.

          Cheers!

          Jon
          Yes! Absolutely no shills and sycophants vying for favors on SBR! Now, may I please have 5k limits at -105? Oops.. did I happen to mention that betislands is the greatest sportsbook ever?

              that means no matter how much you win, you will only be able to cash out max 100 bux. gl

                Who has been paid a a large sum from betislands?

                I am looking to possibly give this shop a look with their 100% freeplay offers but their financial stability worries me.

                1. Where did this book come from?

                2. Should I not be worried that they are just paying shills to post good things about them on the forum for $25 freeplays?

                Please give me your input on this book. Seems like this is a bad time to play at new/non a+ books that are offering such a good bonus. (Usually means they are hurting for business no?)

                Give me your thoughts here thank you.

                  Being nice doesnt mean one has money. Time will tell. I hope they succeed.
                  Not trying to be a hater of betislands here but this hits the nail on the head for me. Some people say they won't play at 5dimes because tony is an asshole... But the bottom line is getting paid. I don't care if he gives me a hard time about something as long as he is going to pay me if i win.

                  I guess when you're losing you don't care if you get paid as long as the owner treats you like a buddy. (Not what I'm here for)

                    I was paid a decent amount. Love the book. THinking of reupping come foots.

                    I wouldn't be worried, they always did me right and paid promptly.

                    Only downside they started with a progressive DimeLine in bases. use to be up to 190

                    Good luck

                      I'm still a firm believer you are better off in a small, reliable, non advertising sportsbook. They are less likely to have the feds pounce in and set an example. Customer service at Betislands is next to none

                        BetIslands sportsbook feedback

                        BetIslands sportsbook (SBR rating C+) players have submitted positive feedback in forum topic, 'BetIslands Sportsbook'. Players have commented that the Costa-Rica based sportsbook has extended good customer service and prompt payouts since coming under new ownership, and being assessed with a sportsbook rating earlier this year.

                        BetIslands is run by Jon Kreta— the former manager of WagerChief (SBR rating B-)—and is stationed in the Jazz Sports Group facility. Jazz provides BetIslands with hosting, wagering and IT support. BetIslands processing is run independentantly -- SBR has confirmed that BetIslands is backed by established bookmakers. BetIslands rating has been increased to C+.

                                    Haven't been paid a huge amount but I feel pretty safe with them. Hopefully they have an awesome football season.

                                            They are a great book u cant ask for anything more plus they offer a 100% bonus with dimeline. I can confirm being paid within 30mins. I can also confirm from reading threads about them people have been paid when they request all fast no issues, actually i dont remember reading a negative post about them only suggestions since they are fairly new and trying to make a good name for them. To me it seems they have all the components and i dont think its long before they just keep getting higher ratings, i rate them an A from my experience.

                                              Hi Apricot ,

                                              Thanks for inquiring about us.

                                              After leaving Wagerchief I saw an opportunity to take over Betislands.com and create a player friendly sportsbook with solid payouts , I have explained in the past how I have never or will I ever ask a poster to speak on behalf of Betislands the business and the service speak for itself all of the feedback posted on the site can be asked to be verified by SBR.

                                              Like I have always stated payouts speak louder than words and I do not plan on missing a beat.

                                              Cheers!

                                              Jon

                                                Jon at Bet-Islands keeps his word A+ to that. My reason for asking about the affiliation to 5 dimes is because at the bottom of 5 dimes web site they say that Bet Islands is one. Just curious. thanks Jon and SBR.

                                                  Blackbox... I think you are confusing Betislands with Island Casino which I think is affiliated with 5 Dimes.

                                                    Mr. Richard you are correct- I just rechecked. Thank you. Jon is a truthful person-so Bet Islands is a not affiliated whatsoever. So many names are similar to each other. gl to you.

                                                      Is the 100% bonus a 1 time thing, and if it is what are the reload bonus?

                                                        They are NOT related.

                                                        PS Oops--I see someone else posted this already.

                                                                  If we were to sign up now for the 100% FP, would that disqualify us for one of your football season promos that you will be rolling out, such as reduced juice? Would you suggest holding off on signing up until those promotions are officially announced?

                                                                  Thanks!
