Question about BetUS.com and payouts

ProfitsofDoom · Dec 10, 2007

So I haven't gambled in a very long time (pretty much a year before Pinnacle quit taking US customers), and now that I finally decided to get back into the game I ended up giving BetUS.com a try.

I made a couple of small deposits and busted out, and on my third try I made an OK score and decided to quit while I was ahead and cash out.

The first thing I noticed is that their payout fees are ridiculously steep for a Moneygram, but I decided to go that route anyways as that was how I deposited. The second thing I noticed is they state it can take 7-10 days to receive a payout.

I know things are tough with the crackdown on offshore sportsbooks, but is 7-10 days now an acceptable time to receive a payout? I remember getting paid by Pinny, 5Dimes, Olympic, and even Bodog the same day. Also, has anyone ever had a problem getting paid from them? Just the manner in which they stalled me on the phone when requesting a payout made me a bit nervous. Anyways, any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Just do a search on Betus here-it isn't a pretty story. 7-10 days is not that bad in today's environment. If you get it 7-10, you should be thrilled.

Damn, I am honestly starting to feel sick to my stomach already. It is only a $1000 payout, and the threads I just read seem to state for the most part they only hassle large players. I used to play large in the past but not now, so I'm hoping I don't have an issue.

I used to mainly post at MW and saw them listed on top, so I figured they were OK. I hope this is the case...

Don't lose any sleep over it. At least it's only 1k(under their "sharp" radar). That's much better than hearing that it's 10.

ProfitsofDoom · Dec 10, 2007

Is that the main issue with them, paying out sharp players? I wasn't a sharp player even when I was betting large. I'm just not very keen on losing any money at the moment. I remember your name from my days posting at MW, and I always thought MW was picky about posting scam books on top of their forum.

TTinCO · Dec 10, 2007

Problems there seem to come up with larger payouts. I wouldn't worry about 1k.

Between us & the MW guys, I'd pretty much guarantee that you'll get paid. I can't imagine that they want a big stink over what is considered small money-as long as you weren't playing games with bonuses\multiple accounts\etc.

FWIW, I wouldn't play there. There are just too many other books with a lot fewer black eyes.

ProfitsofDoom · Dec 10, 2007

Thanks man, I appreciate the help. No, I played straight up with them, and even turned down the bonus because I didn't want to wait 30 days for a payout. They covered my Moneygram fees and that was it. I've been out of the game for a while and haven't kept up with who is legitimate and who is not.

I think I'll go back to 5Dimes after this. I noticed they still take US players and I never had a problem with them.

Just out of curiosity, who would you recommend as a good book that takes US customers and pays on time?

TTinCO · Dec 10, 2007

It really depends on what you're looking for. 5D is a great choice-they throw the book at you as far as options. Betonline is a reduced juice joint that I like, but they are kinda thin if you're into props or soccer. BetJ is also a good one to have.

I guess the story is to not put all your eggs in one basket-that -105 or extra 1/2 point that you'll find will pay off if you spread it around.

Matchbook is another good out, but it has a little learning curve if your not used to the exchange thing.

betjamaica is my number 1 choice

. This new xxxx-xxxx allows you to easily request a withdrawal from you account to the Transfer Card. With your BetJamaica Transfer Card you to withdraw up to $2,500 per day from your local ATM machine or debit card merchant for a low fee of $3.00 per transaction.

that is good enough for me

They will probably pay. You'll just get dicked around first.

I am new here and have won on betus need help

Hi I have deposited just over 3,000 on betus and have a balance of over 6300. I have read many posts on this site about betus and am now in fear I will not get paid.

Do I have any chance at all getting my money back...any ideas? I see that they have paid some people on here so how do they choose to pay...is 6 grand a lot of money to them or not?

Should I withdrawl in smaller amounts?

Any help is appreciated thank you.

I have stopped using them because their withdraw fees are bullshit. It took about 4 weeks to get my money. They should be sending checks out overnight for the price that they charge.
