I bet sports online with BetUs and I also play alot of online poker. BetUs also offers poker and an online casino. The site was formerly licensed by the KGC, who has revoked their license.

This is an excerpt from a page at SportsBookReview. SBR is similiar to P5s or 2+2 for sports bettors.

5/7/2008 02:12 PM BetUs (SBR rating D+) informs player of $18,300 confiscation

The bettor made his first deposit of $1,000 in April which he lost. BetUs contacted him to give him a $100 bonus which he also lost. The player made a second deposit of $1,000 on April 18th. He then made winning parlay wagers that brought his account to $18,300. He was told by management that the BetUs credit card processor has informed them of a chargeback dispute with poker site, Ultimatebet, that it also services. The player claims BetUs told him in order to get a payout he would have to settle the dispute with Ultimatebet. The player sent Ultimatebet $2,000 which cleared the credit card dispute and reopened the account in good standing. After resolving the issue with Ultimatebet, BetUs told the player they are keeping his winnings.

Player: On 4/10 i made a deposit of 1000, on 4/18 i made a deposit of 1000. I made a 5 team parlay on 4/18 - mets,nationals,brewers, cardinals -1 1/2, and indians that paid off around 13k...on the same day i made a 2 team parlay, indians -1 1/2 and whitesox -1 1/2 that paid off around 3k...(a few smaller bets also but not significant) the next day i went to withdraw and they froze my account...when they unfroze it for an hour a week later when i cleared up everything i made a few bets and won another 1600 mostly on the laker-nuggets game 3...On April 29th I spoke to Dan and he told me he is "confiscating my account", "we dont want your business" and he will reverse the 2 charges that i made BetUs

AVOID BetUs at all costs, and I will spare you the $300 story of how they are presently denying me a withdrawal as we speak. The site has many many sister sites that are also 'sham scam sites', with a history of questionable business practices.

God only knows what the poker at BetUs is like.

Heres a link that timelines a history of BetUs provided by SBR (very unflatttering and a scary good read)

A similar thing happened to me a few years back with sportsbook.com and sportsbetting.com (when they were partners or under the same processor similar to the BETUS and UltimateBet situation you explain). My brother had chargebacks worth $40 on one of the sites so they locked my accounts on both sites and confiscated the monies. My brother claims he didnt owe them anything but I still offered the sites the $40 out of either of my accounts. They declined my offer and said they were confiscating my roughly $700 (i know, a very small amount but still BS). This was roughly 2 years ago and just a month or so ago I contacted sportsbetting.com and got my money back from there as they are now separate from sportsbook.

given that nobody has posted about this site in years I assume everyone know it's terrible but just thought I'd share my experience with this dumb site

so, I deposited $300 on this site ten years ago, just for kicks. make 10-20 small bets every year, have been running pretty hot actually, now sit around $800

figure I might as well cash most of this out before I blow it

turns out they don't let me because I don't have photos of the debit card I deposited with 10 years ago (!!!). when I asked what I can do if I don't have the card they suggested going to the bank and getting a transaction history. I don't use that bank anymore. have no clue what my account number was. I dunno how I'm gonna do this.

not only that but they've informed me I can only cash out $125 because I accepted a $25 free bet on some Browns/Bengals game (who will make the first field goal!! exciting!!). I do not get this at all, I can kinda understand a $125 rollover requirement but saying you can only withdraw 5x the free bet is so ****ing backwards and weird that it's giving me a stroke just thinking about it. Oh by the way I didn't even win the bet. I'm so ****ing confused.

to make it worse every time I call them I have to give my password over the phone. what the ****?

anyway. never use this site. it sucks. **** you Warren Sapp.

I think it's important for people to know that even though they dropped the poker, they should still be avoided
