BetUs

My brother opened an account around turkey day.... There was an issue regarding his card.... A rep called back, he gave all his personal info over the phone.... Deposit still pending at this point.... His bank called numerous times over the weekend about multiple fraudulent charges/overdrafts.... I questioned him about the use of his card to this point... Claims it's a brand new account and card.... He is going into the bank today to see what happened.... I'll return with all the facts when I see him..... 

They are very professional with credit card deposits in my experiences with them.

They accept credit cards for deposits from US members?

I lost $900 a few months back in fraudulent charges after making a small deposit on fulltilt poker.... All the money was returned to my account after a 2-3 week investigation..... I hope they do the same for him.... He isn't in a position financially to recover from this.... He shouldn't have been putting his money in action to begin with.... All this was obviously done behind my back.... He didn't come to me til after his bank called.... Kid is only 22, lives with me, and I've pretty much been his father figure growing up.....

He may have been shopping other online books and making attempts at depositing left right and center. If BetUS had anything at all to do with it I'd like to know.

I seriously doubt it though. Their lines are high and the reps are not always on the level, but they don't mess with fraud.

The problem is that the Bank is not letting the offshore deposit go through because most U.S. banks have blocked many of the deposit methods that sportsbooks/online pokersites use. So the Bank is calling to let the depositor know that there is an issue with a deposit being made that may be fraudulant because it is being made from outside the country.

I use betus and the only issues that I have had with them(Other than shitty lines) was problems making deposits. My Bank would lock up my card after an attempt  would be made for a deposit.

The Banks have lists of the various deposit methods and if one of those shows up, they will deny it.

If you use an international Visa Gift Card(which can be purchased at CVS pharmacy) you will not have these problems anymore.

The Banks have really started putting a clamp down on offshore deposits over the past 16 months.

^ yes, what Crowkillers is saying is exactly right

Hey onarush,

I am glad to here BetUS wasnt a fault here. They have been really good as far as being able to take deposits and CC companies are really on the look out these days for people trying to use stolen crdit cards.

 

Hey crowkillers and search warrant. Thanks for jumping inn here and providing some good insight.

Lou. 

 

I use a WU Visa prepaid card that you reload for $5 at any WU all the books take it

eyeball, I have been using betus for over 6 years now, and I have never had any issues with making withdrawals. When I request a payout, it is usually processed within 24 hours and I have a check delivered from UPS in 2 days.($3,000 max at one time)

I am not 100% sure, but I think most people that claim that they have withdrawal issues are one that are accepting freeplays and then not meeting the rollover requirements, thus it is holding up their payouts.

I know withdrawals used to be a $40 charge, but last year, my wife and I both started getting free withdrawals, so they may have changed that.

I agree with Lou and the others about Betus being really good about accepting CC deposits as well as the security of the transactions. Withdrawals, however, may be a whole other issue. I too have been with Betus for many years, at least 5 and never have any problem putting money in, but I think I am on the forefront of a withdrawal hassle. All of my documentation is in. I have never had any freeplay/ rollover issues. I have successfully deposited and lost 10's of thousands over the years. I was told there will be no more checks via Fed Ex and have been waiting on what they call a "direct credit" for about a week now. I was curious Crowkillers, when was the last time you requested a withdrawal? I am a little frustrated that I was told there are no other withdrawal options.

Some good stuff in this thread.  The deposits are nice and easy.  The withdrawls or payouts can only be done by direct credit at this time.  I have used BETUS for years, and they are aces in my mind.  You give them certain info, and they direct deposit into your account.

is this a direct deposit to your bank acct, or back to ur credit card?

They are doing bank accounts now...

BetUS new payout method they are offering is "Direct Debits" into banks, which is fantastic. I set up a specific free banking account just for them and as soon as I get it, I move the money. In your bank account within 2-3 days. And if you have any fees, they will put that money back in your account with proof of fees. They really expedite it if you have your own acct. manager , which I do. The account managers get paid on the transactions (similar to a broker) for both deposits and withdrawals from the way she explained it.  I have been with mine for about 2.5 years now and love her.

In terms of workaround for credit cards, I have found a way that has worked for years. I called my credit company many years ago and told them in advance that they would start seeing more INTL purchase attempts on my card. I told them that I run an eBay shipping business where I buy wholesale items internationally and sell them via eBay. BetUS typically came up as shoe purchases in Dubai, so it worked without any hesitations and my credit card fraud group doesn't bother me at all. I am not guaranteeing it will work for every card, however it has worked for 2 different cards that I own.

Bottom line, I think BETUs is great and very happy I signed with them years ago.

I WOULDN'T PUT ANYTHING PAST THAT BETUS BUNCH

Ethan from Betus called me yesterday and they asked me what annual Jersey I would like. I got an Aarom Rogers one on the way.
