If you need some assistance with problem, SBR Moderator JoshW was working with there management team to straighten out these problem. You can always email him with all your details at: josh@sportsbookreview.com if need be.

**cinpls081** · 09-20-08, 07:08 PM

First off Sportsbetting.com has had NO issues in months paying me. Until this month...One of my checks bounced and I have 2 pending checks.

The truth is forget about the pending checks they will not show up. in about a month they will issue a credit back into the account and hopfully by that time payments will be flowing but who knows.

They will pay they aren't a scam trust me on this one. Now my guess is it will be Christmas time until all the finds are cashed...But hells its better then having your money in the market...

**fiveteamer** · 09-20-08, 07:40 PM

Rather have my money in AIG than this dump.

**iggles** · 09-21-08, 06:37 AM

sportsbeeting.com is supposedly going to start sending withdrawals through a ban wire. just was told on live chat that this was an option

**jacksnappy** · 09-21-08, 01:46 PM

I STRONGLY suggest that all betters stay COMPLETELY AWAY from sportsbetting.com. They are VERY slow on paying you when you win, also just this morning when I called for the 4th time about my withdraw the guy told me the had a problem, and some of their checks BOUNCED!!! I WILL NEVER PUT MONEY ON THAT SITE AGAIN!!!

**stoneswimmer** · 09-22-08, 10:12 AM

Funds seized

Heard from a buddy that he read somewhere that the feds seized funds from an ACH that Sportsbetting.com was using to process payments. Anybody confirm this?

**kary23** · 09-22-08, 12:30 PM

how do these guys maintain a c- grade, they have to be F- nobody gets paid and they just screw with you! I have 0 confidence that I will ever get paid.

You don't want to know what the "F"'s do.......

**cinpls081** · 09-22-08, 01:27 PM

This company does pay. Totally inaccurate saying nobody gets paid. NOT TRUE AT ALL. Clearly you are upset about not getting your money trust me I've been where you are right now but in the end you will GET YOUR MONEY. I'll bet on it. Now my guess is we are eating thanksgiving dinner before this happens but think about the possitive the 2500 plus could be in the stock market and by thanksgive 2500 could be worth NOTHING

Kary,

Sportsbetting.com players have been hit hard by their processing issues. A lack of communication and CS has made it much worse. They left Sportsbook.com's processing in favor of their own banking late last year and never really got on their feet. We can tell you that no one has been stiffed and payouts have been coming down the pipe. Feel free to shoot an email to Help@sportsbookreview.com, or CC SBR on your request, so we can track this with you. Sportsbetting.com sent us this note on bouncing checks earlier this month...

We had some bounced checks due to some changes recently in the industry.

We have a solution for this and we have contacted the customers directly and have already deposited the funds back to their accounts and giving them the option of wire payments on Monday. Please let your posters know they can
contact support@sportsbetting.com for assistance.

**TotalScam** · 09-26-08, 03:57 PM

Sportsbetting.com is a fraud

This betting site is a total scam. They sent me a check for $2500 which bounced. Then they promised me that they'd wire the money to my account in 3-5 business days or less. I got all the information they requested from my bank and sent it to them right away. It's been well over 5 days and I still haven't received a dime from them. Every time that I call India, they tell me that my request has just been processed. I even did the Live Chat and had to crack up because they displayed the representative with a very generic American name. I knew the whole time that I was talking to cheap labor from India. My guess is that the Indian Customer Rep gives the same song and dance to anyone who calls. From communicating with Customer Service a number of times, it appears that they all read off the same script based on the situation that you present to them. The entire goal of the Rep is to push you off until the next day.

The people at www.sportsbetting.com are liars and thiefs.

**harsh506** · 09-26-08, 04:15 PM

i love how every1 bashing them has < 5 posts aka 1 person

sportsbetting has paid me a few times and havnt had any problems other than maby 3 weeks for a check. never had one bounce

**TotalScam** · 09-26-08, 04:25 PM

Are you kidding me?

So we have to post 500 times to have our opinion count? That makes a lot of sense. The bottom line is that checks are bouncing from Sportsbetting.com. When you call their customer support in India, they do whatever they can to get you off the phone and push you off to the next day. The only reason why I'm posting is because of their wrong doing. If they paid me fairly, then I wouldn't have to waste my time alerting the fraud.

I'm kinda suprised that you would jump to www.sportsbetting.coms defense so quickly. You defend them as if you were a stakeholder in the company

**cinpls081** · 09-26-08, 06:11 PM

they aren't a fraud what don't you get about the fact that what you are doing is not Legal in the US? The republican's have created this monster and my guess is you will be voting for McCain.

**cinpls081** · 09-26-08, 06:16 PM

honeslty you will get paid but don't waste your time calling or emailing or anything. Your money will be in your account log onto live chat and they will still be saying 20 biz days. They don't have a clue but they aren't a scam shop trust me I've gotten 2 checks this week...waiting for a wire myself....I guess its not coming you should have done it only for a small amount ot see if it comes ez or not...YOU WILL GET PAID don't worry its not worth it....

**t-bone** · 09-26-08, 06:58 PM

I have been using Sportsbetting for years and have always got paid......most payouts i've requested are around $500-600a clip.

I just received a payment yesterday from a bank in Canada...they must be making adjustments but they are reliable.

Don't ever use BETUS, they are terrible

Good luck guys

**gambleballs** · 09-27-08, 05:19 AM

I have a 5 figure balance with them and its among the least of my worries right now. They will get it together and everyone will get paid. They always have. The rest of the Jazette books however...... thats another story.

**TotalScam** · 09-27-08, 12:46 PM

I'd be more than happy to provide positive feedback once I see any sign of life that www.sportsbetting.com pays me even my initial deposit back. Withdrawing small amounts to see if they'll pay out doesn't help my cause though. If I'm depositing thousand dollar bets and winning then withdrawing lesser amounts still puts me in the red with them. $2500 isn't a lot of money given that the site advertises guys winning $160K+ on the home page of the site. Thanks for the advice and good luck! I'll let you guys know what happens as time progresses.

**modaddy666** · 11-18-08, 07:00 PM

sportsbetting.com (bomb this site)

200 emails informing me that checks over 1 years time.
lies, lies and more lies. one week the check is on the way, next week there is a delay. more emails, more bullshit. screwed for $10,000 . after you have written and called to threaten to sue them or napalm then, they redeposit some of the funds until you bet an loose all of it. there are no payments ever. the scam is to continue for you to make deposits thinking the money you have won is on the way but no money is ever paid.
the only way to get these lowlife scum of the earth is to burn them down. can you imagine 4 to 5 emails a day with bullshit after bullshit for the whole year, down $15,000 but when you win, no money is ever sent to you...
if anybody has an ideas in regards to destroying these motherless ****heads bastards, let me know. I am in!!!!
wrote several messages with email attachments to bill dozer and others but clearly they are on the payrolls of these sites so expect no help from them.
get the street address and go after them, shut down the site if you can!!!

**bigboydan** · 11-18-08, 07:09 PM

First off, Welcome to the SBR forum

sportsbetting has been going through some very massive processing issues for quite sometime now. As you can clearly see many of other posters are in the same situation you are at this time, unfortunately. Hopefully they can rectify this matter ASAP, however until then it's a waiting game for everyone.

I wonder Dan if you are too nice of a guy, welcoming modaddy666 with a first post like that that is complete lies referencing bombing, destroying, shutting down a book and that you guys are on their payroll and won't get anything done.Sportsbetting.com is an underated book that is clearly not going thru massive processsing issues and there is no waiting game. When I request a check on Sunday/Monday, very often it's at my doorstep by Friday. Sounds like they took some chances, breaking away from sportsbook.com group in some areas but they are better for it because they come thru in the most important area- paying the customer in a timely fashion as opposed to say Linesmaker where I requested a check mid October and it's still pending. Sportsbetting had a very short term glitch , a few check problems that they even warned me about for about 2 weeks tops, but found another reliable processor quickly and tried to add bank wire as an option, which isn't necesarry because the checks are flying right now. If you weren't a long time customer of the other sportsbook group sites and couldn't get the *** option which ultimately costs 40 bucks per withdrawal including bank wire fee, your screwed 6 to 8 weeks waiting for a check. I like the one week much better at sportsbetting.

**yisman** · 11-18-08, 10:31 PM

at someone bumping kary's first thread.

Is kary ghosting?

**bigboydan** · 11-18-08, 10:32 PM

No sir I am not on there payroll at all. Modaddy666 is more than welcome to fill out a complaint form and submit his dispute, however considering the current processing issues they are encountering. I'm really not sure how much we can do for him.

Dan, I think you missed my point. I didn't say you were on anyone's payroll, this modaddy fella did in his very first post...which I thought was a bit harsh with a personal vendetta perhaps because sportsbetting has been coming through quite nice for myself and a few others I know.

Can someone please help me or assist me in getting my money from these people, thank you!

Kary23? I thought you bet 75k on Half time lines pal?

kary..I'll help you get paid...under one condition....pay us the $50 each you owe all of us first from one of your lame ass locks....

**the_orangekat** · 11-19-08, 08:51 PM

I was paid promptly by Sportsbetting.com via bank wire. $1000 showed up in my account 6 days after I requested it. Their customer service has been great, too.

I think it's unfair to title a thread "Sportsbetting is a scam" because if they were a scam, then they aren't very good at being crooks considering I got paid.

**9XL** · 11-19-08, 10:29 PM

I have also been paid promptly by sportsbetting.com. I received a couple of bankwires 6-7 days after request. I no longer play there because they cut my limits to $5 after I went on a hot streak, essentially kicking me out.

Their customer service is not great, it is awful, but they have paid. That is the most important thing.

sportsbetting.com a FRAUD?

I recently ran into payment issues with sportsbetting.com and they requested photo copied ID CREDIT CARD AND BANK ACCOUNT NUMBERS WHAT IS THAT ABOUT? AM I SCREWED OR HAS ANYONE ELSE GONE THROUGH THAT

Yes, they have been asking for these docs now , like many others already have. They likely have gotten new processor(s) that is requring these docs, so should work out okay.

**lincoln1035** · 04-18-09, 06:08 PM

very slow cutomer service-are they scamming now

It took me about 5 weeks to finally get a wire for $5,000 from them back in Jan 2009, I started the process around thanksgiving or so. Now I want to withdraw more money and they want verification -scanned copies of credit cards, license, etc. You may want to use another site, I think I'm done with them, will let you know if my new request for $3,000 ever comes thru.

**Andy77** · 04-20-09, 04:09 AM

Please keep us updated. By the way, did they still offer check withdrawals?
