they don't claim this, I asked specifically.
Technically - you are correct. But read between the lines and they sure dont “hide” the fact well. Whatever you do though - you shouldn’t ask them to reveal their “secret” lineage.
Per their website - about us

About Us
We are not your average bookmakers; we are the real-deal line makers who were taken off the market back in 2020 (if you know, you know, but don’t ask).
Three years later, we saw a gap in the market that was never filled and decided to put the team back together and create a legit book, for the hardcore bettors who felt a bit neglected ever since.”
Again - I’m seeing positive signs from them - enough that I’d feel comfortable depositing and playing there. Would I put them in the same class of shop as BetOnline/Bookmaker or even Heritage - no.
BetOnline has proven they can and will pay and accept large action.
Bookmaker has done the same - except they don’t like me and cut off bonuses a long time ago so I don’t use them.
Heritage treats me well - gives plenty of reasons to play with them - but has low payout limits on weekends and can be a little fussy at times - bit otherwise an A level book with a long operating track record.
Bettors Den has great offerings - reduced juice on major sports up to $500 (or more if you forgo bonuses and take reduced juice) and have been responsive and helpful. BUT a couple of fast 10k payouts to any poster doesn’t make them an A level book.
As I said - Wager6 paid me something like 14k (2k at a time) last season - if you think I’d go anywhere near them this season your nuts.
TopWager365 has been exceptionally accommodating to me and has paid on time - every time and offers a great bonus. But you don’t hear me touting them in the same breath as BetOnline or even Heritage. You can be a reputable shop - but not be the best place for those betting more than $500 a game.
Right now - to me BettorsDen slots in nicely along with TopWager365 and BetWWS - newer books/good for recreational players up to $500 a game and those hunting bonuses. They pay - but are still new relatively and don’t have a track record.
The fact they are “industry veterans” means little to me. Just like posters - these shops change names all the time - no one is “new” to this industry nor have they been for a few decades. In the poster poll of favorite books - I listed my favorite 3 - and those 3 are the only 3 that come to mind as being successful and having closed shop without stiffing players.
Bottom line - I’ll play there and I’ll proactively manage my balances. If they burn me - shame on them but I kept reasonable precautions in place - just like a good book does with players to keep from getting burned.
