Default Shrink, as long as it is take out the trash week, look at this stiff job at SBG

Shrink,

Are you aware of the stiff job that is presently going on at SBG. They are stiffing multiple players out of tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars.

As long as you are throwing out the trash this week, how about tossing out SBG and Oddsmaker? (The Oddsmaker issue is covered in another thread for those of you new here.)

I believe what SBG is doing (and has always done in the past) meets the standard of removal here, "Blatant Theft."

Looking forward to seeing them off of EOG.

Thanks,

JC

Hello,
A brief history. I opened an account at Bet Royal based on the recommendation of someone I trust. I knew they had payout problems at the time but I was dealing directly with the VP of marketing, so I thought it would be okay for small wagers. About a week after I opened the account, SBG bought Bet Royal's sportsbook and my account was transferred there. All of this was the first week of July.

I was not happy with SBG buying out Bet Royal due to SBG's D- rating, but someone else I trust said "they pay out same day". So, I thought they had cleaned up their act. I have received 5 payouts since July and all were paid out promptly.

In the meantime my account has grown to 15 times its original size through winnings. I have not made any more deposits.

Saturday night after I had a big winning day (> $5000) my account was deactivated. Now, SBG has my home phone number, my cellphone number, and my email address. They did not tell me ahead of time they were doing this, they just did it.

At first I thought it was just a web site glitch. I called Sunday morning and I was told that my account was frozen for 45 days for fraud, because they think I belong to a syndicate. LOL This is preposterous. Don't you have to have friends to be in a syndicate?

My account isn't that big, less than $30,000.

The real issue, of course is that they don't want to pay out my winnings.

The reason I am writing this post is to apologize to anyone who listened to me and continued to do business with Bet Royal and/or SBG based on my saying "but they pay same day now and they have cleaned up their act". They have cleaned up their act if you bet small, but they still rip off big winners.

If you have money on account with them continue to bet small bets only and start withdrawing your money gradually. If you don't have an account with them STAY AWAY.

I think that SBR should change their rating to F and move them to the "don't even think about it" list. Not that this will help me, but maybe the next dang fool.

I really do feel like a jackass.
