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)
