I had assumed that TheSportsbook.com was affiliated with BetEd as the software and lines are the same. But they're still up as of now....

austin · 05-23-11, 06:59 PM

do you think beted knew it was coming and deliberately offered the 100% reload just days before this happened? kind of get as much funds as possible before being shut down?

Nikfrio · 05-23-11, 07:44 PM

They will be back with a new domain....

Legions36 · 05-23-11, 07:53 PM

So now what

relamancer2 · 05-23-11, 08:24 PM

Without a doubt that thought crossed my mind. I guess im not the brightest star in the sky. Im kicking myself for depositing with that sardine can of a book

I hope you guys get paid but at BetEd I'd personally be a little worried. Bookmaker or any other A rated site I would be confident you'd get paid.

I totally agree. Even though this crap is happening at bookmaker, i wouldnt be worried at all. But at beted, I'd be open to buyouts at this point. Very little confidence.

Just read this and reminded me of your post:

Curiously, this alternative domain bmaker.ag was registered on 18 May 2011, a mere 5 days before the indictments and the seizures:

Domain Name:BMAKER.AG
Created On:18-May-2011 18:50:53 UTC

Did Bookmaker.com see this coming?

http://www.subjectpoker.com/2011/05/more-gambling-domains-seized/

could just be a coincidence but if bookmaker really did know something was coming maybe BetEd did too..

Don't feel bad, I never felt safe with BetEd but I still chased their sign up bonus, just lucky it was awhile ago and with an old email address or I might have fallen for this offer too.

I don't have enough confidence to buy any BetEd funds but I feel your pain..you can have my 24 points

I think covers still advertises for beted, if those banners stay up then beted has the money to pay you guys.

And beted does not seem to have any alt site...Nor are they answering any phones ar returning any emails...Hmm

I would have been better off wiping my ass with that $250...

Good point...I will definately keep my eye on covers in next few days

stats13 · 05-23-11, 09:57 PM

I got a decent amount on BETED and think they will come thru, somehow.

Yes they knew, especially if they did that earlier and obviosly if Beted did that bonus and got me this time but i only had not even $300 left. Hopefully they just change there address and get back soon.

MrZ · 05-24-11, 12:37 AM

Hope everything works out for you guys. You would think our government has more important things to focus on, ******* ridiculous

djefferis · 05-24-11, 05:37 AM

damn, glad i saw this before sending my $250

princecharles · 05-24-11, 06:35 AM

i be hing we all dont need to be runnin for the hills!!!!

bulldogfan26 · 05-24-11, 08:09 AM

so is betED completely gone?

Tried to see if the homeland security message was still there this morning and the site doesn't even exist anymore. I guess i'll never see that $350 I had sitting there.

It looks like it. At least bookmaker had the decency to give a statement as to their intentions. BetEd has no backup site and has not answered a single call. Wouldnt surprise me if they just pack up and run with everyones money.

mighty maron · 05-24-11, 08:31 AM

1.877.772.3833 answers..gives options of press 1..press 2....etc They all time out and it says to leave a message

thetrinity · 05-24-11, 08:39 AM

I'm thinkin they picked up n ran as well. Had a very small balance in there compared to usual since I only bet soccer on that site and the main leagues r done.

lukahh · 05-24-11, 08:57 AM

how about that guy who allegedly won 150k parlay? he's been allegedly receiving 5k monthly payouts or so.

Ballpark · 05-24-11, 09:04 AM

I had just over $2k in BetED.
I would have got out long ago, but I'm a european player
and they limited me to $50 a bet and they refused to pay me
until I had fulfilled a $7k rollover.

I feel a bit sick at the moment, and just hope that BetED come back in some form.
If anyone from SBR can help then please do so. Thanks.

stats13 · 05-24-11, 09:24 AM

anyone got any contact info for beted?

I hear ya dude. I got suckered into making a $250 deposit on Sunday for the $250 bonus and i knew this place was shady to begin with. I turned the $500 into just under $1600. Still have to roll about $2800 but that shouldnt be too difficult. Now this crap happens. If there is anyone who has confidence in beted, i willing to take a very reasonable % for my acct.

thetrinity · 05-24-11, 10:12 AM

aint lookin good for the place to be honest, they were caught with their pants down to say the least or maybe they knew what was coming and said **** the customers.

i still think its time to stay calm and not panic. supposedly they have a statement coming later today.

stats13 · 05-24-11, 10:14 AM

I don't see how they can run with the money. I get them closing shop and paying out, but you'd think the US govt would nail them harder if they actually stole funds.

thetrinity · 05-24-11, 10:16 AM

too early to panic IMO, but not a good start for them.

I hope you are right but if they did decide to close up shop, why would they pay their players instead of just pocketing the money themselves? They've been a shady outfit for a long time.

because that would be outright stealing and i'm sure if enough was taken from US taxpayers, the government would go after them hard.
