    I currently am using Betislands for one of my sportsbooks. I have been waiting over a month for withdraws of thousands of dollars. Their customer support is brutal for this issue. I have been told on 4 different occasions that a person to person transfer would be sent to me and nothing has occurred. Everything revolves around Jon and Ryan and neither one is responsive at all. The original excuse for the delays was because of the hurricane. This of course was many weeks ago. There has been nothing done to resolve this issue - they don't communicate at all. I still have no idea when I will receive a payout. I have been using sportsbooks for many years and I have never experienced this. I have a lot of experience with sportsbooks and betislands right is the worst I have used. I am not a small better and this is a legitimate post. This sportsbook is rated as an elite book with the OSGA but I can tell you with my experience this book isn't even close to this. They might have been in the past - I don't know - I only know that right now they are no good. I would like to encourage others who are experiencing payout issues to submit a complaint to the OSGA in order to bring awareness to this issue and hopefully prevent others from using this book and experiencing the same issue. My purpose for posting this is to hopefully prevent people from making deposits and going through the same issues. I highly encourage anyone who is reading this to not make any deposits with this book until these payout issues are resolved unless you feel like making a donation. I fully believe there are many others who are going through this and any responses that defend this book right now are from people who are small bettors or people who aren't winning and making withdraws.

    I hadn't but I reviewed them now - thanks.  First I have heard of a account review - that is load of crap.  I used these guys for the first time last year and won about close to 15 grand and they cut my limits.  Jon basically told me as I result of how I bet they can't afford to let me continue to bet those amounts.  I did receive my money and wasn't going to use them anymore till I received a call this year and was offered a bonus and my limits back in place.  Again - won a good amount and now they have taken my half pt away and cut my limits along with not paying me.  The funny thing is one of the reasons I put back in with them was because of their payouts in that they send them by money order and you get 1 free payout a month.  Other books are going to these debit cards which I hate.

    Jason, they will pay. I am not too worried about that i guess. Its just that i was told that it will take a while. Something that betislands just doesnt do. I have a feeling that because of my recent success on that website, i wouldnt be there much longer either. I only put in 100-200 per deposit, and within the last weeks i turned a 100 deposit into 7,000 which i know they wernt happy about lol. Also, they gave out a free play of 100 for the late payouts this week, and ive turned that free 100 into 1900 and i got that free play just on monday. I have never experienced a problem like this betting ever before, but i think it will be fine. They told me 1-2 weeks so i will give it a week and check back then. As long as i get paid, i guess i am happy.

    cuwgolfer, that is pretty funny about the free play.  They offered by the same $100 and I said are you freaking kidding me?  I told them I could care less about a $100 free play - considering I usually bet 1500-2000 a game ( their limits) and told them I just want my money - I didn't even take the free play.  I don't doubt that I will get my money, I am more concerned with how long it will take - especially considering I have a good amount in there.
