So been waiting since 9-15 for payout from BetUS of a measly $125 - nothing and when I go to chat am told need to check back later in the day - no one’s available.

So first off - why a payout request for $125 ? Well - as many did - I received a $25 free play to kick off college FB - managed to run that up to around $300. Checked with chat to find out what the roll/max cash out was (wrongly assumed it would be something semi practical like $500 or 1k max so as to both keep the funds at risk and not represent a huge risk to the book from some player going on a massive casino run or parlay hit) - found out it’s a max of $125 (so that’s on me - any balance above is forfeited at cash out).

Asked if I could convert to cash in account and avoid the needless payout ($125 isn’t worth it to them likely and I’d rather be able to continue to bet vs withdrawal and re-depositing) and was told no. Fair enough - requested payout and have been paid in past by BetUS (just not this season). 2 days later get request for KYC - annoying but again last payout was like 8 months ago so understandable. Sent and approved.

Re-requested on the 15th - reviewed and sent to manager to approve - no movement since. 2 times I go to chat and ask to get reviewed and get told no one’s in the office. I get not processing weekends and Monday is busy - but kind of worrisome behavior at this point in the season. It’s early - shouldn’t be issues with processing payouts and it’s not like a major amount.

Seems odd they wouldn’t just agree to convert to start with - but now we are passed that. Between the very low cash out limit and the service - not sure I’d use these guys again. And for reference - Heritage limited me on their “free play” from the scratch card at 1k (a much more reasonable limit to me) - that request for my $985 went in today - lets see how fast it gets processed. My suspicion is I’ll have it by 2p - but let’s see.

I believe it was Gabe who told me this at Heritage - so take it for what it’s worth. Sounded more like he was quoting the standard bonus cap (1k at 20% on 5k deposit) than the promo. Regardless not questioning it - take my free payout, redeposit and avoid any issues.

BetUS is a very rec book. I get that and thats fine…but yea the games they are playing are just annoying. Why destroy a million dollar marketing campaign over a few players who won on a promo and cashed ?

They requested from me too to upload an ID to allow me for a payout.
After I did that, they requested a selfie holding the ID.
They didn't reply for a day, I contacted them and verified the document the same time.
Payout after KYC was fast, 1.5 hour.

Is this KYC a new policy from them? I thought they didn't mind that much for verifications.

Think they mostly crack down when you win free money off their free money.

Easy solution to that - stop giving out money, especially to people who are lifetime winners with you.

Books try to sucker you back in - and then complain when you WIN. You either are prepared to pay the minority (winners) and make your money off the majority (net losers) or you need to stop taking bets.

Likewise - when offered the chance to convert into a paying account (adding bonus on top of cash deposit and waiving the max win limit) - DO IT. I understand no one wants to process tiny withdrawals- I don’t want to bother with them either if I can - but $125 is still worth collecting. It’s why I don’t even respond to the free $5-10 “risk free” bets anymore - $25 is my minimum. Anything less is just a pain to collect on.

As predicted - 1:48 funds received from Heritage

And as predicted - more excuses from BetUS.

So arguing my balance exceeds $125 - even though I only asked for $125 - reply is I must deposit and then roll deposit amount and the cash balance 20x - only then am I eligible to withdraw and then only 10x the initial free play amount of $25 ($250) - regardless of deposit amount.

So in plain English - deposit and make 5k in wagers and then I can “win” $250 - even if I deposited $5 and was able to meet this ludicrous roll requirement - it’s a shitty deal.

No argument here, i never take the free bait and save myself the inevitable headache.
