Today has been a very long and excruciating day, after a late Sunday evening. They say when it rains it pours and today just goes to show that those are wise words. We have been slammed in here and at other major forums, and I empathize with everyone not getting paid immediately. Hell I am getting the calls and I understand clearly. It is the correct way that a player gets paid for winning his bets and I have been here all day, and know Mike has as well on his end, in order to resolve an enormous run to our Neteller to fulfill this basic component of our industry. Take a bet, pay a bet.

As you already know someone cried WOLF, with all due understanding, but he provoked havoc and disarray with a great portion of our player base. Not only do we have to deal with paying people we also must deal with retaining their business through damage control. We understand this can be extremely stressing and obviously people will wish their funds out of an account immediately if possible. All payments pending are requests made today and we are tackling them one by one. For this reason, to many customers hours feel like days but we understand your consideration and haste and request you remain calm and objective.

I would have gladly responded on the forums all day, but my priority will always be the phone, then your emails, then the threads. Today it was impossible. This was like a brushfire and took our service by storm. From where I stand and what I know, GamblersAvenue.com is going no where. This business has thrived enough to be recognized as a good option with great service and I intend to continue and enforce this standard.

We understand this challenge will be faced and the waters should soon be back to normal. All payments pending should soon be taken care of and within the 24 hour period stated on our site. No one currently pending is beyond today’s requests. We will appreciate your further patience and understanding. We wish to express our desire to make it very clear that we intended to resolve this matter and remain an option for the public. This operation like many businesses before it has challenges to confront. Those will be met and resolved, always considering customer satisfaction. Once this issue is put to rest we will only prove that the positive opinion offered by many is real. We appreciate the concern of many in the forum and believe it to be just but please permit us to calm the waters and take care of the matter.
Good evening

If you pay within 24 hours I don't think anybody will fault you. It is true that you can get a Pinnacle in 20 min, but anything 24 hours or less is awsome.

Hey Fredd,

Thanks for coming out and laying everything on the table. Nothing has changed in my mind about Gamblers Avenue since the day I signed up. You and your staff have shown today what is key to offshore wagering, Customer Service. I for one thank you for taking the time and putting this issue to rest.

Thanks Again

fred, dont accept his apology, why should you. he comes on the forum, bashing you site, claiming slow pay, and doesnt even call you before hand.

ijust wish if anything these posters would CALL THE BOOK ""BEFORE""gripping on the forums. like fred said in a nice way, thanks, now he has to work on keeping his customers and regaining thier faith.

Hey Bigbet1234,

WTF ??? Where did I bash Gamblers Avenue ??

If you go back and read everyone of my messages, I beleive I said in everyone of them that Gamblers Avenue was a "top shelf book" and that Freddy and Mike have done nothing but look out for the players.

The only reason I came on here and posted what I did was because ...

1. Bucsfan67 asked if anyone was waiting for a payout
2. I COULD NOT (AND STILL CAN'T LOG INTO THE SITE) Keep getting "Cannot Find Server or DNS Error"
3. Messages were comming out that other players were awaiting a payout.
4. None of my e-mails were returned


So ... The BS you wrote, keep it to yourself. All of my messages were just relaying info to you guys as to what was going on.

And the part where you said "[Fred has to work on] keeping his customers and regaining their faith" ... he can take me off that list cuz he has my faith and I'm sure most of the others too.

sorry i got under your skin. it just gets old seeing people jump on the boards without trying to call the book.

hell, if someone can't log in for 2 mins, their posting here that something is wrong....CALL THE BOOK. damn, is it that hard.

god forbid someone has to wait 10 hours for a payout. back in the days you could wait up to a week for a check. players are becoming spoiled with the 2 min payout. if you want the 2 min payout go to the bigger books, but then you lack service.

go with a book like gamblers avenue, bcbets, blue marline....much smaller books and you get great service and prompt payment.

nothing against you rude, but everyone is so quick to jump and post with out all the facts.

good day, and good luck to you

Looks like you guys have not been forthcoming and honest...

I will have much more to say about this later, but there appears to be a silver lining about to happen...

There is no question that this book is in trouble. They are working very dilligently on a buyout. Hopefully more will be known this afternoon. I am in contact with the other book and we are all keeping our fingers crossed.

Site is working for me lakerfan.

Good luck GA. The good thing is the rumors are coming from unreliable sources. But lets make sure we keep the rumors gathered.

Rio/Skybook/Sportbet/Gamblers Avenue

And since truthteller told us Bluegrass was in financial trouble, we know he can be wrong.

General:

Don't know about the other stuff, but I think there might be some truth to the GA "looking for a buyer" rumours.

They would be fools not to look at all offers, but they will pay everyone. If people want to buy your assets then it is always wise to look at what they are offering.

General, you honestly believe they are selling just because someone brought them this out of the world offer? You must be one real stupid person to really believe that.

BTW, as for the Bluegrass post, when I made it that was the truth. They have now recovered.

"This book was it hard by wise guys and is not the most stable financially. Just be careful and keep a small amount in this book.

No one has been slow or no paid but just be cautious."
