I've been playing with BetUS.com now for at least 5 years. I've made quite a few deposits and quite a few payout requests.

Last November I had a payout check bounce in my checking account. When I contact BetUS at that time they told me that their was something wrong with the processor and they reissued me funds after fighting with them for 2 weeks. I gave them the benefit of the doubt because they've been good up till that point.

Fast forward to September 15, 2011... I request a payout and recieved a courier check in less then a week. I deposit the check, only to have it bounce on 09/20. I called BetUS up. I was polite and professional when I talked to them. I was instructed that I needed to send a bank print out of my checking account showing the check being deposited and then the check bouncing which I did right away. I was told to call back in an hour and it should be resolved. I called back in 2 hours, spoke to someone else and was then told that I had to send a copy of the actual check that bounced. (which I wasn't told upfront that I needed)

I ran to the bank, got a copy of the check and faxed & emailed it to them. At that point when I called back in I got someone completely different. This joker told me that I needed to wait till they could retrieve their money before I'd hear anything back! CAN YOU SAY PONZI SCHEME!

The don't have the money to cover the bets that are made??? Why would I have to continue to wait if they had the money to pay me out???

Word of advice for anyone looking at getting into a sportsbook... STAY FAR AWAY FROM BETUS.COM

The only thing they are good for is the free calendar every year...

BetUS has a new payout policy where they send you a gift card that arrives in 2 weeks then you request payout and the creditcard is credited that amount in 72 hours. I Just found this out yesterday, has anyone done it? I requested my card yesterday.

I actually am the person who started this thread and was having multiple problems with bounced checks. I have received their new credit "gift" card and had already requested a fairly large payout. The payout cost $10 and it was on the card within 72 hours! It works great.

The lines at BetUS are way off on the bigger games... I've had luck also with oddsmaker.com and 5dimes.com

You are a moron for still playing there....

davejr, VD is not being rude either... there is no reason to continue to play there... Your only asking for trouble..

The fact you've been there that long and that's your only complaint is stunning... I was a fool because I fell for them too... Had to be 6+ years ago now... I was a winning player there, but were talking small payouts (I am a small player) yet I still I had to fight for every payout... I thought it was norm at the time before I found a forum...

I am glad they are finding new ways to pay... and the fact that they are paying at all.. but they have cheated a ton of people out of money... they don't deserve your business.

Check out our sponsors at top... my favorite is EZ Street Sports who is also offering HUGE bonuses right now.. 285% if I remember correctly.... link at the top of the Forum

I know there has been problems with betus in the past, but ove rthe past month I've requested several payouts using their "gift card." I've had no problems at all, usually having the $$$ within days after asking for a payout.

Ditto, Plus before I received the G.C. I received a 4 figure person to person. Less than 48 hours.

I've been with BetUS for about 5 years now. I've never had payout problems with them at any point up until the last 3 months. I hit a couple big college football and pro football teasers and took my account from hundreds into thousands. I requested a payout and filled out all the required paperwork (credit card authorization form, pics of front and back of CC and driver's license). I then uploaded all these documents and called BetUS to confirm they received. They acknowledged receiving. I then asked for a payout and was told they only do by the gift card now. I said that's fine, send me that. I requested on 11/25/11. It is now 1/10/12 and I've yet to receive anything.

I've called twice since my original request to ask where my gift card was. I've been told both times that my request has been processed and the gift card is on its way. Both times the person I've spoken with has been rude about it and acts put off by my call asking where my gift card is.

This place has turned into a piece of shit book. I'm done doing business with them. I'm now trying to "transfer" my balance from BetUS to 5Dimes by wagering on opposite sides and just taking the juice as a transfer fee. It's bullshit to work hard all season trying to grind it out and make money, and then this shithole book keeps you waiting way longer than they should to get what's yours.

This exact thing just happened to me with SportBet, which is promoted on this site. Never had a problem with courier checks before but received notice that the bank account that the check was cut from has been frozen and my check bounced. Frozen bank accounts mean only one thing...

Davejr I am also with Betus and have a couple of questions about the gift card they now use. When I talked to them about having one sent they said something about having to send a text message to my cell phone to activate it... this is a problem since I don't have a cell phone....... how much does your bank charge you to make a withdrawal from it at their ATMs?
