    Basically the clause says if you win, we consider you a pro--kiss your money goodbye. Surprised people send $$$ there after reading it.

    Player's PyramidCasino (SBR rating D-) $9,500 balance disappears
    The sportsbook was part of the BetOnUSA Group (Empire Entertainment Ltd) before BetOnUSA moved its network of sportsbook websites under the Sportsbook.com Group (Jazette Enterprises Ltd) in December of 2006. When BetOnUSA chose to cut ties with Jazette and move its websites to the SportsbookUSA Group (Futurebet) last month they redirected PyramidCasino.com to land at BetOnUSA.com. Most PyramidCasino account holders can log in at BetOnUSA (SBR rating D). This player has been told by BetOnUSA that they have not received the funds from the Sportsbook.com operation and are not responsible for the balance despite owning the site, which now points to BetOnUSA. Sportsbook.com management claims the player debt belongs to BetOnUSA despite that funds were won when the site was managed by the Sportsbook.com Group and the player currently being able to log in to his zeroed out account using the Jazette-operated Sportsbetting.com (SBR rating D+). This is the second player to report that the two companies are playing hot potato with his balance. A player who won over $100,000 from BetOnUSA's casino has not been able to access the $85,000 that was remaining in his BetOnUSA account. Both companies claim the debt belongs to the other. BetOnUSA is owned by the same group that owns ODDSMAKER (SBR rating D-). These issues serve as a reminder of the added risk that comes with playing at turnkey sportsbooks.
    8/15/2007 11:02 PM
    ODDSMAKER (SBR rating D-) slow-paying clients including its non-US players. The sportsbook has been relisted in the SBR rating guide as a member of the Futurebet Group of sportsbooks and should be avoided. ODDSMAKER is now relying on Futurebet's cashier and PlayerSupport services as well as its software. The group's payout complaints are on the rise as they are each year before the start of the betting season.

    Player: i am ******* from morocco i send you this email to do a complaint i am a player in ODDSMAKER.com( Account # ***** ) it is now 3 mounth i did the request for my third withdrawal request for an amount of 4000 euros and my request has not yet released please contact the bookmaker and ask it to send me my winnings , i am very tired to contact it without answer.
    2/27/2007 10:35 AM
    ODDSMAKER (SBR rating D-) new sportsbook from former ownership of BetOnUSA (SBR rating D-). BetOnUSA sold it’s family of sites to Jazette Enterprises Limited (Sportsbook.com Group) in December of 2006. BetOnUSA is most known for giving players a free $50 account and then denying payouts to the few who are lucky enough to build their balance up to the $1,000 minimum required to withdraw.

    Out of all the books I definitely get the most promotional mailings from oddmakers even though I never signed up for anything there... I guess it is fairly easy to recoup this money if you aren't paying winners...

    Got the March Madness mailer today. Can you believe that Yahoo! Sports features them as their first listed odds? And they cannot legally receive any benefit from this (ask Sporting News)? The Yahoo! love for them is featured prominently in the mailer, too.

    I sent an email to Yahoo! Sports questioning this, will report back if it is interesting enough. Linked this post in the inquiry.

    Good job SBR.

    I got a mailer also. Free $100, no deposit required.

    Well I opened an account. Don't have anything in there except the free $100.

    At least I can't lose anything except their house money.
