Is BetPhoenix still recommended by SBR?

[BigDaddy]

i noticed they still have the

SBR Recommended

logo still on their site



i thought they were no longer recommended by SBR?

[JASON GALLOWAY]

good question....

[bookie]

Good catch Big Daddy. Although, books are incredibly casual about those kind of things since it's not to their advantage to treat such badges as if they mean anything.

[secretstash]

good question....

coming from a former employee this is LOL

But now it worked out for the better and your at a much more solid book now.. glad u and "dallas" got away while u could before they stiffed on payroll checks bro

maybe SBR will request they remove the logo?

[tommygun]

sbr should act on this, hopefully...

[cloudagh]

Sorry to hear all this bad news about BP, they took good care of me. I won't need to worry about them for football though.

SBR currently has them rated a C.

[acarmelo1]

illegal? lol like false advertisement exists on the internet in costa rica.

BetUS still advertises they one of the best and top rated sportsbooks in the world.. no one has ever questioned their website.

BetUs can get away with it because 'best' doesn't mean anything, and they technically are top-rated by sites like covers and therx.

Anyone can say they're the best and you can't force them to take it down.

However, saying you're SBR-recommended or approved when you're not is quite different.

[Bill Dozer]

They are no more recommended by SBR than they are paying by Moneybookers and Neteller.

Bill, would this also include Bet Mania and/or their other sister books Wager Chief & Skybook?

[Bill Dozer]

Yes, they are all the same now. But, I'd guess most of the Wagerchief guys left with Jon.

[yisman]

Bill, are you going to try and stop them from displaying that?

[secretstash]

technically they still arent breaking any rules by displaying this

think bout how many companies u walk into and they have BBB (Better Business Bureau) plaque from 2001/2002/2003 and then its 2011 and yet they arent falsely advertising.. or like a AAA (Triple A ) Recommended sign or some other insurance or group who recommends them in a previous year.. Or like a Doctor or Lawyer has A BAR award or a 1999 Academy of Medicine and Science Award. They dont have to take down the plaque because its not 1999 anymore.. SBR recommended them at one point.. so they can keep the sign up. really thats as far as it goes imo.

and i am in no way defending betphx... i just think sbr has nothing they can do nor would waste time on because technically what betphx is doing isnt wrong.

[Random aside - Yisman is there anything you don't know about sports? Your quiz badges are most impressive. Makes me realise why I don't make much money at this game.]

[Doug]

Pretty Shitty tactics by Betphoenix, IMO !

[Monte]

There was rarely a more obvious fail in the works than BP, the touting here was laughable.
Dudes like Moonbeam (piece of work, but who cares) been laughed at when they pointed out everything that was wrong at this book, oh well.
Shows that a B+ here obviously is worth not much.

[NotSoBad]

SBR should ask them to remove the logo.

I disagree. If they said "SBR-recommended 2009-2010", that would be accurate. You can't claim to be endorsed when you're simply not.

Places that have plaques like that have a date, so anyone can see.

This is false advertising.

You think you need more knowledge?

Many people here, including myself, have been posting that BetPhoenix is not good for quite a while now.

[THEGREAT30]

Poor SBR being taking advantage of by one of there former ugly girlfriends

[WVU]

SBR probably likes the exposure of the banner anyway
