So been waiting since 9-15 for payout from BetUS of a measly $125 - nothing and when I go to chat am told need to check back later in the day - no one’s available.

So first off - why a payout request for $125 ? Well - as many did - I received a $25 free play to kick off college FB - managed to run that up to around $300. Checked with chat to find out what the roll/max cash out was (wrongly assumed it would be something semi practical like $500 or 1k max so as to both keep the funds at risk and not represent a huge risk to the book from some player going on a massive casino run or parlay hit) - found out it’s a max of $125 (so that’s on me - any balance above is forfeited at cash out).

Asked if I could convert to cash in account and avoid the needless payout ($125 isn’t worth it to them likely and I’d rather be able to continue to bet vs withdrawal and re-depositing) and was told no. Fair enough - requested payout and have been paid in past by BetUS (just not this season). 2 days later get request for KYC - annoying but again last payout was like 8 months ago so understandable. Sent and approved.

Re-requested on the 15th - reviewed and sent to manager to approve - no movement since. 2 times I go to chat and ask to get reviewed and get told no one’s in the office. I get not processing weekends and Monday is busy - but kind of worrisome behavior at this point in the season. It’s early - shouldn’t be issues with processing payouts and it’s not like a major amount.

Seems odd they wouldn’t just agree to convert to start with - but now we are passed that. Between the very low cash out limit and the service - not sure I’d use these guys again. And for reference - Heritage limited me on their “free play” from the scratch card at 1k (a much more reasonable limit to me) - that request for my $985 went in today - lets see how fast it gets processed. My suspicion is I’ll have it by 2p - but let’s see.

I was told no limit when I asked ln live chat at Heritage.🤔
One reason I don't take their free coins at Betus is games they play. People forget Betus was considered one of the worst 20 years ago. They have cleaned up their act apparently but I still think this dog has some fleas left.

I believe it was Gabe who told me this at Heritage - so take it for what it’s worth. Sounded more like he was quoting the standard bonus cap (1k at 20% on 5k deposit) than the promo. Regardless not questioning it - take my free payout, redeposit and avoid any issues.

BetUS is a very rec book. I get that and thats fine…but yea the games they are playing are just annoying. Why destroy a million dollar marketing campaign over a few players who won on a promo and cashed ?

They requested from me too to upload an ID to allow me for a payout.
After I did that, they requested a selfie holding the ID.
They didn't reply for a day, I contacted them and verified the document the same time.
Payout after KYC was fast, 1.5 hour.

Is this KYC a new policy from them? I thought they didn't mind that much for verifications.

Think they mostly crack down when you win free money off their free money.

BetUS just offered me a free $20 for learning about crypto deposits.

I checked on my account because I’ve seen some chatter here about them lately .

I knew I hadn’t played there in awhile. Turns out it’s been since 2009, about 4500 days 😂😂😂

Easy solution to that - stop giving out money, especially to people who are lifetime winners with you.

Books try to sucker you back in - and then complain when you WIN. You either are prepared to pay the minority (winners) and make your money off the majority (net losers) or you need to stop taking bets.

Likewise - when offered the chance to convert into a paying account (adding bonus on top of cash deposit and waiving the max win limit) - DO IT. I understand no one wants to process tiny withdrawals- I don’t want to bother with them either if I can - but $125 is still worth collecting. It’s why I don’t even respond to the free $5-10 “risk free” bets anymore - $25 is my minimum. Anything less is just a pain to collect on.

As predicted - 1:48 funds received from Heritage

And as predicted - more excuses from BetUS.

So arguing my balance exceeds $125 - even though I only asked for $125 - reply is I must deposit and then roll deposit amount and the cash balance 20x - only then am I eligible to withdraw and then only 10x the initial free play amount of $25 ($250) - regardless of deposit amount.

So in plain English - deposit and make 5k in wagers and then I can “win” $250 - even if I deposited $5 and was able to meet this ludicrous roll requirement - it’s a shitty deal.

No argument here, i never take the free bait and save myself the inevitable headache.

Finally paid - they paid, but felt like alot of effort for a small payout.

Books becoming sketchier and sketchier on payouts these days - despite having a few good weeks. Got another who suddenly changed their longstanding payouts Tuesday - Friday only to Monday - Thursday only on me when I requested first payout of the season yesterday.

Clearly just trying to keep me in action/risking it this weekend. Oh well - didn’t work. Banged them for another dime yesterday and likely will just take a weekend off with no action there.

They're really a rotten book. The promo traps, rollover tricks, and also they freeroll you on stale lines.

If you bet +105 when it's actually +110 because you haven't refreshed the page, they let you bet at the worse odds. If you bet +105 when it's now -105, of course they don't allow your bet to go through.

Yes, the stale line free roll is definitely happening. It’s a purposely programmed that way to screw bettors.

BOL had this issue for about a year but to their credit they fixed it. And now with their horrendous software where their odds may as well be from last Tuesday, it's a necessity. I've frequently bet +130 knowing it's actually +150 and have yet to get screwed by them.

Betus knows they are screwing bettors with this. They've had it set up that way forever. It'd be funny to see the actual computer code

"If posted line worse than actual line, accept bet"
"If posted line better than actual line, reject bet and display actual line"

I am sure BMR will advocate for us on this issue.

My BOL account which is low 5 digits still has classic, but my SBAG which was created before BOL bought them (and doesn't even have an acct#) is unfortunately on the new software.

Maybe BOL grandfathered in the older accounts?
