Any info on ABC Islands?

Don't deposit there! If you win big at ABC (a Jazz brand book) it will take you forever to get paid and it will cost you dearly in fees since p2p is their only method of paying. I had a 5-figure balance at ABC last year and they only allowed me to withdraw $500 per week (fees ranging from $50-$70 with no freebees ever). This outfit is very weak financially and could very well go under IMO.

This was from last August and I'm sure they haven't got any better since.

JazzSports says no payouts till football season?

By: SBR | Thursday, August 4, 2011

A JazzSports (SBR rating D+) user owed $10,000 reports being told that no payouts will be made until September. September marks the launch of the 2011 football season. Five JazzSports players are collectively owed more than $206,255. | JazzSports chat transcript

SBRforum user, 'HWG6676' shared the following chat transcript at SBR's Industry section:

You are now speaking with Nick of Customer Support.
You: hi
You: my acc is xxx
You: I had requested ** yesterday, is it ready now?
Nick: Hello Mr. xxx ... at this moment we can not process pay-out through our vendors Mgram or ** sincewe are having problem with out vendors.
You: then..
Nick: We may be able to to continue to pay you your balance at the begining of september...once footblall season starts...now we understand your position as player
Nick: We are trying to do Sportsbooks transfer...but not at this moment
You: wire possible?
Nick: Nothing until semtember Sir
Nick: we are sorry
Nick: september i meant
You: this whole month nothing can be out?
Nick: You can alwasy email the manaager at harvey@jazzsports.com and see what can our manager solution can be give to you...but from now on..there is no more pay-out until once football season gets here
Nick: Thats correct! pay-outs are in hold at this moment.

Several users have sounded off with feedback against the Jazz Sportsbook Group:

SBRforum user, M@ximo: Jazz has been shaky for a long time...But that like many things here gets swept under the rug because of their long standing SBR ties. I was lucky to get my $ out of them before the ship split in two....and just like the movie the weight of their past debt and bad management Jazz will soon be at the bottom of the ocean. The only difference with this movie is that the owner wont go down with the ship... he will be in a life raft with all the players money probably never to be heard from again!

SBRforum user, 'NCM8776': I still waiting my ** withdrawal since they deduct my balance on June, I think that they had face a big financing problem, no any payout or sportbook transfer.

Another SBRforum user, 'HedgeHog', reports receiving a $500 payout Monday of this week. Jazz appears to be selectively enforcing which of their users to make payments to based on the amount owed.

In light of Jazz Sports inability to process large payments, its rating has been adjusted from C- to D+.

They've had serious financial trouble in the past, some guys making steam plays didn't get paid, the last couple of months haven't heard anything bad hope things turned around for them for players sake

I would post up there if I knew I could $500 per week out even with the fees.

Agree with HedgeHog completely.....Avoid this outfit like the plague.....

**Frogger** · 08-07-12, 10:35 PM

Think for the last 5 years they've said "no payouts until football". Do they actually pay when Sept comes?

**touchback** · 08-08-12, 02:17 PM

True... they did it last season as well... no withdrawals until NFL, that means October. They usually come out with this nonesense around August. But from what I understand they do pay when football season comes around so if you can wait it out might be allright, if you are a hit and run kind of player you will end up a little frustrated I would guess. They are a very old school shop, Jazz been around forever if that is any help so you will get paid.

I played there years ago. I never had an issue with a payout.
