RichCoastsports...they say they are upgrading servers but.....

<TABLE height="100%" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD class=msgThread2 vAlign=top height="100%">SBR Bill Dozer reports: BookTheBet(SBR rating D-) owner, Tony Block, tells SBR he is "bailing out" RichCoastSports(SBR rating D+). Mr. Block states that RichCoast is currently migrating to his office in Escazu and players will be informed of new wagering requirements on their balances today via email.

Don't have a huge balance there but still sucks...yes I know not to play at these books, but I had to bonus whore.

I think ussportsbook is owned by them as well.

Same software, same policies.

Be careful.

posted by Rpm at another site....

here is the info i have so far. The majority owner of richcoast sports had a heart attack and regretably has to end his involvement with the sportsbook. new owners have stepped in and taken equity positions from Mercedes.

At this time, it appears that richcoast has moved locations and will be sharing some office space with bookthebet. the ip changeovers are the reason that some people are seeing bookthebet info on the richcoast website.

at this time, there is no definite deal that tony from bookthebet will have any ownership of richcoast. However, it is a possibility, but it will be as a minority owner if it does happen.

I should have more information within the hour so stay tuned...

here is something sbr posted a few days back about the book doing the "bail out"...Gets better and better!!!

BookTheBet (SBR rating D-) asking 2wagerSports and UWagerSports victims to throw good money after bad? BookTheBet’s owner is calling customer lists from these scam sportsbooks, offering huge "bailout" bonuses. One player reports being offered $8,900 if he is willing to deposit $2,000 and wager the total amount ten times. Players should avoid all sportsbooks offering too-good-to-be-true bonuses as well as sportsbooks who are giving out U.S. phone numbers.

Unfortunate ! Looks like the bailouts are there, so get ready to roll your own money 15-20 X, or whatever.I dodged this bullet, but feel for those affected !

From what I'm hearing now, they will share space with bookthebet but not be bailed out by them....they are being taken over by Mercedes (software) as majority owner...and will still be richcoastsports. who knows? if I ever see my cash I will be happy.

ussportsbook and richcoast sports are not related in any way.

I got on at Richcoast on Dec 8 with the bonus,rollover and 30 day wait.I have had my best 3 weeks ever betting games and have my balance up the most ever at a book, and now this shit any clue what will happen went to RC last night it took me to book-the-bet site with my funds there
have another 9 days until the 30 day wait is over for the bonus offer any info would help...This like is like losing a bet by a hailmary and coming home finding your girl with the milk man.

TigerPaw--we are being given the run-around right now by roberto and rpm, but apparently something has been worked out. They keep saying they are going to tell us the finalized details...in a hour, tomorrow, a little while longer, but it never comes. Check over at Theoffshorewire, that is the place you will get the info on this....when it finally comes. Don't hold your breath.

TOW is reporting that the the documents to transfer the assets of RCS to its new owners are taking place. The incoming owners will be making the official announcement on Saturday. TOW is also reporting that the players will be extreemly satisfied with this transaction. Hopefully that means no roll over requirements. This should finally be settled tomorrow.

Finally....I counted my money as lost, not that I had a lot in there (400). Any money is free at this point but this dragged on and on. Nice to have a Roberto on your side though, i might add.

Anyone with a RCS acct will be foolish to leave any cash there, if (big ass if) you can get your balance out in full this weekend or by Monday at the latest, DO IT! Dont be the last person getting on the train

All indications are that this will be resolved within the next 12-36 hours and that there will be no rollover.
