BetMania move to BetPhoenix platform complete

[Mudcat]

My experience was there was an initial period of awkwardness right at the time of the switchover a few weeks back. Then they seemed to get things on track and everything was great right up until this weekend when there was a ddos attack which naturally screwed everything up.



Still waiting for any kind of progress report on the deal/re-assessment if anyone from SBR is listening.

i spoke to richie last night at betmania.. he told me the deal is official and just waiting to be finalized any day now.. it's now between lawyers to get the signature on the dotted line to finalize it..

it was great news.. looks like it's a done deal.. now we just have to wait..

[bigboydan]

Your are correct Mr.Nicky.

I spoke with Mr.Dozer about this subject earlier and he mentioned its a done deal assuming the CR lawyers (which are relatively slow) don't see anything they question. I'm sure Bill will announce it once both parties officially complete the deal.

[Mudcat]

So . . . . .

There were still some big "ifs" hanging out there at last notice. I see Betmania is still not re-assessed.

Any update on this?

Now I also need to know for my 128-man tournament entry.

Yea I've been interested in getting back into Mania but I have been waiting to see if their rating is raised and if Phoenix is backing them 100% financially.

Is Mania going to be reviewed or just sit at the previous D rating?

[bigboydan]

Still have not heard anything new on this subject gentlemen. I'm guessing those slow Costa Rica lawyers are still reviewing all the paperwork.

[Mudcat]

Perhaps they have Donald Fehr and Bowie Kuhn negotiating the thing.

BET Phoenix worth the risk or not yet?

[Mudcat]

Nothing has really changed with Bet Phoenix, I don't think. They are as worth the risk as ever. They're a "B" type book. I have heard pretty good things about them (other than some recent website issues due to software changes and DDOS attack).

The only question was really about Bet Mania. We're still waiting for final word on them.

[Mudcat]

I just got word that the deal is signed and MANIA is now part of the Bet Phoenix family.

OK before SBR blindly re rates these guys I will try a withdrawal.
I got nothing from Betmania for 9 months. Lets see if Phoenix can get a check to me within a week

Keep us posted on your withdraw process sir.

[bigloser]

1 week later the money is still available in my account, no contact or anything.
This WD was requested after the move so no excuses about lost paperwork etc.


To be fair I was PMd by Betphoenix, through this thread, offering to help with my withdrawal. I didnt reply as I wanted to see how "normal" (without help) payouts would be processed.

Lets see how long it continues

Bigloser,

I am trying to assist you to get paid. If you provide me with your details, I can accommodate that immediately.

Regards,

Richard

For Richard and Dan's sake, I must point out:

Sometimes bigloser just plain lies. I wouldn't worry about tracking his little drama here.

This is the guy who confirmed that Matchbook had "Platinum accounts" and that they would be leaving the US market over a year ago.

It doesn't make sense that he would have been unsuccessful for 9 months getting funds out of BetMania when dozens of people could. Probably just lying. The fact he avoids working with Richard directly only makes me believe it more.

The obvious question would be why lie like this. I have no idea but I also don't know the point of the lies about Matchbook. Attention??? He thinks it's funny??? Dunno.


bigloser engaging in pointless lies.

[betphoenix]

All of the payments have to run through Phoenix...so if he was not on the list of due payments provided to Phoenix accounting, then it is near impossible to assist him. This is why I need him to help me help him.

[bigboydan]

I'm bumping this in case anyone still needs assistance with acquiring their payment from BetMania.
