I joined this yesterday after getting a free $$ promo in the mail. I'm in the USA.

I was expecting a DOA site, but there are 700+ players on. Does anyone know what network it is on? Also, does anyone have any experience with cashouts? Is this a reliable site?

Have they come back under a different network? This article says oddsmaker failed under future bet before July, 2006.

As of 4 days ago they were still a part of Futurebet according to SBR. Their IP is also shared by all the other Futurebets as seen here:

The network they are on is DGN. SBR gives them a D-.

The top news article on Pokerroomreview states:

FutureBet Payout Problems Worsen 08/16/2007 12:11 PM
Complaints about backlogged cash-outs are coming in from players regarding multiple poker sites that rely on FutureBet for their payment processing. Reports are also coming in from FutureBet licensees, stating that not only is FutureBet not paying players, the operators themselves have not been paid what they are owed since the beginning of 2007. Add to that the estimated 1.1 Million USD still owed by FutureBet to former PokesPoker players, and it paints a very bleak picture of FutureBet’s operation.

OK, thanks pokeraddict!

NP, anything to keep people from getting money stuck on Futurebet sites. They have stolen way too much already.

Just dump your money from the futurebet skin to your Mother's or friends Pokerworld account.

Pokerworld is owned by Thegreek a A+ rated sportsbook, so no cash problems there, and so far I know they own DGN.
You beat the Furturebet folks with their own weapons.

Poker World does not own DGN.

I just joined today after receiving what must have been the same promo in the mail. Did not realize they had such a bad reputation.

After reading a bit about FutureBet, it looks like the main issue people had is waiting a long time for cashouts to process. Didn't see anyone who got completely screwed on their money. Is this accurate?
