I wouldn't say he's lucky until he actually got the checks. These guys are bozos and will say anything to get you off the line. I had one guy email me on June 9th and say I would receive my checks in 4 or 5 weeks. On chat the other day I was told September. These guys are full of shit.

no sbr again?

Received a check payout after 3 weeks from the new site, but still waiting for one that was requested from the old site.

don't think the wire works for last 6 months, they knew it all the time and just use it as an excuse to let you waiting an extra 8 weeks. I still can't figure out the reason they hold the fund from pre-merge withdrawals if they will eventually pay us. It is possible they end up - well planned - crediting back (using the old processor issue excuse) all those fund back to our accounts when football season starts.
Lou/SBR, I filed complain last week as many people on this board do, and have not got any response from you. BOL needs a downgrade. If SBR can't solve the issue, SBR can at least not mislead our players.

I do not think anyone here will ever get their money back from Sportsbetting.ag. I got the information from a reliable source things are very bad there. The new owner is regretting buying the sportsbook. It might take up a year for you to get your money if you are lucky. I hope everyone that is not being paid yet learned a big lesson including me. Offshore betting is dangarous because you do not know if they are Financialy stable. They can not mint money to pay everyone they owe. I think we have lost big time. Endure it, it is life. Start building your bank from scratch again.

I'd like to hear SBR's take on this. I doubt we hear anything, they are avoiding this situation like the plague.

**rocky16** · 08-02-12, 02:12 PM

Got an email from two people at sportsbetting.ag stating my check is coming within the last two weeks of August. Obviously I won't believe it until I have a check in hand and it clears.

**Hap** · 08-02-12, 03:19 PM

wrongturn got a check, so that is good news and gives some hope.

He got one post-merger. Us pre-merger guys are still getting the run around.

**durito** · 08-02-12, 03:45 PM

I will buy balances for. 5

**DeLuca Sharks** · 08-02-12, 04:22 PM

What is happening at sportsbetting is that since they negotiated with bet on line for the company the slow paying started happening as lots of customers here say that they had been with Sportsbetting for years and never had a problem till the takeover , they decided to buy the book probably by looking at previous profitable numbers from the past years but what they didn't realize is that after they got rid of their cash bonuses, rebates, free pay outs and good customers service ( which were unique perks for all customers with the old management) players realized that its not worth putting any more money into the site. SBR Cant really give the players any information since Bet online obviously gives them their share monthly or annually no matter what a player puts on here the book still seems to be rated top notch (betonline) Its cool for you guys to be able to talk to each other on here but Don't expect the SBR guys to get you the money any faster since they dont have power over it and its not their fault they do a good job by at least maintaining a site where players can speak to each other about their experiences, never the less Bet online is going to pay the players they made a big mistake by taking such a long time to pay most of sports betting valuable customers , if they have half of the players that they use to have I would consider them lucky, I am sure the new owner is very upset for taking over now he has to pay customers that are not going to come back to play with them, if none of this customers are paid by Bet online then their reputation will really go down to the Gutters, it was negotiated with the old management at sportsbetting that all of the players had to get paid just as the Employees, which we all got our money.

Good luck to all of the players, I am sure that everyone will get the money Iv'e had converstations whit a lot of my players that use to play at sportsbetting, some players were given the time frame of august and September other players that had been waiting for longer received their money already, so people are getting money slowly but surely, for future pay outs you can expect delays with this guys because even after the official takeover they are still slow paying.

Mark Deluca,

Thanks for this insight. I did like SB's 5cent lines on Fridays, great cash bonuses, and free payouts. In addition, I liked that SB often "took positions" on FB games, as implied by lines that differed from the rest. All gone now. I still cannot get over how BoL thought it could capture any franchise value by eliminating all of those good things and then generating all the bad will on payouts. I am gone, and praying I get my money sooner or later.

Thanks Mark, I was expecting some explanation like this from Lou/SBR. When you said "slowly but surely", do you know any of us get paid through the new betonline management; they clearly hold our money (in accounting book during the takeover), and just wait something (not processor issue this time) to decide if and when they are going to pay us.

**PLA** · 08-07-12, 04:36 PM

Anyone get paid yet?

**Hap** · 08-07-12, 05:49 PM

Not good news from me. I requested a "good old fashioned check" by courier; 7 days, $50. The payout was approved on July 21. Today, after I got a promo email, which suggested that if I have questions, use live chat. The live chat guy contacted the payout department, which said, after a long wait, the payout would not be on time. I responded that since it was supposed to be 1 week and that 2 weeks had already passed, how much longer? Again, he contacted the payout department, and after a very long wait, passed along to me that I would be contacted. This evening, I did get an email, which told me that the payout will be delayed and they will process as soon as they can. IF I ever get it, I will post the news here.

Nope. Today is calendar day 80 and business day 58 for me. I was originally told 10-60 business days. Of course it will be longer than that, if I even get paid.

I'm not sure how anyone can play with this book.

**trea40** · 08-08-12, 04:12 PM

Worst sportsbook ever is Sportsbetting.ag

I have been waiting since may 15th for payout from this book. They lie and lie. A couple weeks ago they claimed they have no record of my payout request. To bad for them, I saved the e-mail from the previous regimes people that confirmed my request. So, now they are telling me that my account is under investigation. I would NEVER bet with place ever again no way no how. I just want my money and I do not see any way it actually comes. Put this place on blast.

Did you request a check?

**rocky16** · 08-08-12, 05:17 PM

I chatted them again and was told my check would arrive by the 18th of this month. So same response Iceman got.

**DeLuca Sharks** · 08-08-12, 08:18 PM

Hello

I have heard some of my clients were receiving there funds , small ones first and then the large ones , I had a guy receive a couple thousand by check so lets hope everything gets resolved this month and next month so people can go back to betting in peace , IT would be ridiculous to put a cent into sportsbetting as it would be impossible to take it out, customers need to keep waiting patiently and I have heard of stories that customers are told that they don't have any track of their money , well they had access to the whole database if they are doing that they just don't want that particular customer back ever.

**dolson** · 08-08-12, 09:35 PM

Just got another email from sportsbetting.ag with a great reload offer, I replied and asked why so many Sbr players are being slow paid, getting not response , i thinks i'll pass.

**PLA** · 08-10-12, 04:36 PM

Just got an email from them offering a huge freeplay bonus. 10% on top of the 25%

**rocky16** · 08-10-12, 05:57 PM

They should offer a free 10k with a $100 deposit. They don't payout so it doesn't matter. 82 calendar days, 60 business days. No check.

**dolson** · 08-10-12, 06:10 PM

I said I would be happy to play there if they could explain these payout complaints. No response so far

**witswits** · 08-10-12, 06:24 PM

AVOID Sportsbetting.ag. I deposited the same way I always did and they charged me 30.00 + 18.00 in fees. I never had them charge me in the past. They are stealing in the front end and not paying in the back. This book needs to go.

BO took over and they're a B+ book. They're wicked awesome.

**BigPapi** · 08-12-12, 03:36 AM

Im waiting for 2 payouts and their "customer service" has been abysmal

**trea40** · 08-13-12, 04:55 PM

I'm on calendar day 86 now and business day 62. I guess 10-60 business days wasn't enough time for them, so now its Aug 18th they're telling me. Thats 4 days away. I'll post when I don't get the check.

**highroller79** · 08-14-12, 06:57 PM

Please use another site like 5dimes. Sportsbetting.ag is just horrible, horrible and horrible. It took forever to even verify my CC authorization form.

**rocky16** · 08-14-12, 07:54 PM

Just got an email from their backlog audit department on my pending funds request. I have to call between 9 AM and 5 PM, so I'll call in the AM and post here what its about.
