BetIslands

[Betislands]

Definitely looking forward to football and -107. I had always sort of planned that as the 'real' start of the new BetIslands, with this period as a warmup.

As to futbol futures, that money is in the bank until next May when the European seasons end. Futures are fun when you can mess around with them a little. As you probably know, the Dutch soccer season has been decided on the final day of play for several years in a row now. So that could set up some interesting scenarios. But setting a 100 dollar limit makes these futures pointless to anyone who would find an edge. It may be better not to offer them at all, instead of communicating to the player that his money is welcome as long as he doesn't know what he's doing.

Hi Dark,

We do welcome people who know what they are doing , we are just not a big soccer prop book I will probably raise the limits on those a little bit soon.


@Rob .. working on it will def keep you guys posted.

The season is upon us guys!


Cheers!

Jon

what book is a big soccer prop book? i would have to imagine Euro books?

[sharpcat]

Hi Sharpcat,

I will keep it nice and short.

Can you find when a player when I owned Wagerchief that did not get paid?

Can you find any genuine negative feedback on Betislands?

My books are open to SBR at all times and all the players that claim to be paid with evidence of play.

The fact that I actually care about my clients and treat them all the way they deserve and pay them out in time does not make me a shill if they want to post about it.

There have been posters that have won large amounts I just do not ask them to post , now if you have a problem with player feedback I suggest you take it up with SBR.

Until someone can prove me that I do not pay clients I will continue to wear this smile on my face and be proud of who I am and what I have done and what I will do in this industry.

I did not get 3 upgrades in 4 months because I run a Mickey Mouse shop or because my bankroll is a loan on my house , ownership has been in this business over 2 decades and are established bookmakers.

SBR can feel free to ask proof of payments to all players before posting , but if people are going to question my reputation I suggest come with ANY real complaints not assumptions.

Have a good one,

Jon

this is the only book worth using these days imo

This is the sh!t I am talking about Jon.

saints, betislands is the only book you need, tell em' I sent ya. 100% fp bonus free payouts, payouts within hours, best lines and c s too

Betislands has been good to me so far and I am happy with the customer service but still have yet to receive a payout or hear about any big winners here being paid out. I have high hopes that Betislands will be a top notch book but as of right now only time will tell.

Stop handing out freeplays to these idiots with no money they are never going to deposit if they are begging for freeplays. Every book I have ever seen hand out freeplays to shills has failed so I think I have a right to be concerned when I see this.

[Betislands]

Hi Sharpcat,

Like I have said before we have players of all sizes and ranges , I do not need to hand out freeplays so people talk good about my shop.
Trust me if there was ever a delay with me or one of my shops you would have heard it by now and I am sure you would have brought it up a long time ago in this thread.

Point is I pay people on time and I have not for 6 months , not for a year for more than that .

These are not shills you can feel free to ask SBR about us , so now you are implying that every single post about us is shill?

I invite anyone to find any negative press about ME not my shops ME.. if I have ever in the past not paid a player or was fair to them.

Trust me when I say this we are going to the top and if someone can find me ONE case that I have not treated players correctly then I will keep quiet.

I highly doubt that you play with us as well , I understand some people may have agendas I am used to it in this business but like I said .. payouts speak louder than words and until someone can come forward proving I have been delayed paying as little as $100 I will continue to dare this industry and do my best to take it to the next levels for US players.

Thanks!

Jon

Betislands is a top notch book, i have gotten multiple payouts all on time actually faster than any other book i have used.

[ArunSh]

Their lines are pretty great, I like how far the dimeline goes - much further than other books!

[pimike]

Want that cash bonus!

[SamChu]

Tons of betting options. Only thing they need is some live betting

[gilbert91016]

Nice book. But I would like to see reduce juice on MLB totals

[Mikail]

well im gonna post up with them and give them a go. I have a feeling they are gonna get better and better. Not to mention their off to a great start.

I recently attained my RO and was given several payouts options--up to 5k. In the end I just took the free 1k p2p (received in a few hours). Solid Book IMO.

[King_Suckerman]

Theres some good feedback on here. I haven't read every page but on the first page it says that Europeans aren't accpeted - is this still the case? Thanks

[wtt0315]

what i like about the book is it feels small when you call and you feel like you get personal service. When you are dealing with some books you always get someone different if you have a problem you have to explain it to 30 people. Here you usually get nick or ryan and its great service. i havent cashed out yet, thank you cardinals for hitting into 19 double plays there for me yesterday for that but this book is pretty damn good.

[PharaohUB]

I just wanted to report another positive experience to add to the many. I requested a payout this morning and received it today, for free. Ryan on chat was a pleasure to talk to and responded very quickly, clearly, and concisely to me. It is nice not feeling like you are talking to a robot. It is great to talk to someone who has a grasp on the english language, and is in touch with their business/company. Ryan - you deserve a raise! I know I am not the only one who will continue to play there because of the great cs you give.

I like that they are not jumping on every request (i.e. parley of tennis bets - high limits on non-american sports). Myself, I am a recreational gambler who likes to play American sports, and a tennis match here and there. I am betting there are many more like me in the U.S. I am happy with their current operation, and I don't want to see them expose themselves to too much risk. High juice on tennis matches, soccer, and stuff tell me they are exposed to less risk and my money is safer and I'm willing to pay for peace of mind for some daytime action.

My take is that companies who run into trouble tend to be taken down on the more exotic bets, international soccer/tennis stuff, gambling syndicates, and the like. I say continue to run the operation the way you are! I feel safer with my money here then I do at Heritage now that Heritage have taken on so many more clients, and are talking about expanding their choice of lines to match TheGreek. I also got the sense I was talking to someone in the mafia on Heritage chat sometimes, am I the only one? The attitude of making you feel special cause they let you send them money, etc. put me off a little. Don't get me wrong Heritage has the best perks in the business and I will continue to do some business with them .

My opinion on two safest books for recreational gamblers like myself in current state in the U.S. is BetIslands and Legends. Bodog seems safe, but I haven't played with them in awhile, and they are too high profile for me. Bookmaker operated books were up there too, but when DSI site got taken down I got a little concerned they are being targeted. Keep it up BetIslands. I hope you hang around for awhile.

PS. I am not a shill or whatever you call it. Check my post history, this is my first post regarding them I believe.

JMHO.

Jon,

These are the types of posts that matter and make Betislands look good

Not sure why your so defensive I myself have stated several times that I am happy with what I have seen and experienced at Betislands. I indeed do play here and I have probably lost more money to your book than anybody in this thread in the last 3 months.

My only point was that some posters around here appear to be acting as shills which is something that I don't feel is beneficial for a sportsbook to waste money on especially one who is doing well and getting positive reviews from guys who are not being rewarded for doing so.

I apologize if these clowns posting absurd 1 liners and referrals are not shills. I just want to hear honest educated posts about players experience with Betislands and not some B.S. 1 liner claiming that Betislands is the best book ever.

Deposit methods: Am I reading correctly only the three deposit method are accepted? Will there be other options added in the near future like moneybookers?

Thanks

[jesuseatsnubs]

Have u decided on if ur gonna offer parlays for MMA or not .. thank u so much and I look forward to depositing as soon as it's offered

[CorkyThatcher]

The casino is TERRIBLE and there was delay in the processing of my payout. Granted, I ended losing all my money (just under 1K playing Blackjack,) but there was a longer than usual lag time between putting in a withdraw request and having the money taken out. Don't like that tactic. Beware of that.

do you ever stop crying?

[CorkyThatcher]

do you ever stop crying?

Can someone say, "S-H-I-L-L..."

[CorkyThatcher]

do you ever stop crying?

Furthermore, why I are you so against me sharing an experience. Oh wait, I get it...

[jrdiesel]

I just opened A Betislands Account good cs haven't tried to withdraw yet still working on my rollover bookmaker did the same thing keep it in your account until they processed it why did you did even play the casino? lol

I don't believe so, if I remember correctly Jon posted early in this thread that he is staying away from plastic; which is a great move IMO.



This is my favorite book but one thing I wish BI would add is tennis handicaps and totals.

[kmarinouofm]

Because I'm an idiot. -corky

which is it?? you are an idiot... or is it a shady tactic? Also did you make your request on a Sunday night or something? I bet they didn't process it until Monday morning..

are you bank accounts overdrawn too ? just wondering.. when i write a check.. i know in my heart.. that the money is gone.. even though i can physically see it in my account still

just my two cents

[kmarinouofm]

Yes i agree 100% as long as we are making list

1. parlays for all fights (mma, boxing, etc)
2. parlays for tennis
3. totals and spreads for tennis
4. more baseball options... i want to be able to buy down totals or play -1 or -2.5 run lines like in 5dimes.. as well as parlay them..

5. Multiple lines for football, both sides and totals.. if not.. at least let up to 5-7 points buying on any side or total as well as team total



this is my list of things i would like to see.. but most of it.. is not even normal for even the Biggest of books...

all and all i am happy either way....

[me-first]

yep, this would be nice..or at least, allow tennis parlays. Much of the tennis stuff is unbettable otherwise..

Anyone know the answer?
Thanks

[Betislands]

Hi guys,

We are currently not accepting clients outside US and Canada this should change soon as we are working in banking logistics in order to pay clients from other regions same day as we do with our North American clientele.

New website coming soon.

I can say this we will be offering -107 .

Thanks!

Jon

[King_Suckerman]

Thanks Jon.
Sounds good. Best of luck in the meantime.

[Cuse4tw]

agree more tennis options and parlays for both tennis/mma

cant wait for new site

[jpix]

Jon, Do you offer haltime lines on football and basketball? Minimum amount withdraw?

[kaliboyz]

Can you stop whining?

[himeshforex]

the book is okay , looking fwd to the new layout

[pdiddy33]

BetIslands and Jon are first class. Just got off the phone with Jon. I had a dispute with a payout, come to find out that I was late in getting my payout request in. The website clearly states the time in which checks need to be requested. Jon, was courteous and resolved my issue in a matter of minutes.

I've been a loyal BetJamaica customer. I'm relieved to know there is another book I can feel confident in. The payouts are lightning fast and customer service is great. U.S. Players should embrace a book like this, given the conditions we are playing under.

Thanks BetIslands and Jon!
