Default BETWWTS is run by a bunch of morons.

Please wait while we find an agent to assist you...
You have been connected to Tyrone Mclean.

Mark Mohr: Yes, when can I have my money?
Tyrone Mclean: You will have your money as soon as we are instructed further by our atterney.
Mark Mohr: I don't give a [censored] about your attorney. That's my money and I want it.
Mark Mohr: Don't you have something to say?
Tyrone Mclean: Sir, your money is in your account.
Mark Mohr: ok, so send it to me.
Mark Mohr: there's nothing in this bill that says you can't send me MY money.
Tyrone Mclean: How will you request your withdrawal?

Mark Mohr: Check
Mark Mohr: Firepay.
Mark Mohr: I don't give a [censored]
Tyrone Mclean: Sir, all the mehtod are suspended from doing transaction with gaming site.
Mark Mohr: not true
Tyrone Mclean: You just have to wait untill further instructed.
Mark Mohr: Have you guys read the bill?
Mark Mohr: Why are all these other sites still sending me money, but not you guys?
Tyrone Mclean: Yes, we have and we are acting under the guidance of our attorney.
Mark Mohr: Party Poker just processed my cashout. I understand if you guys want to be a bunch of chickenshits and follow this ridiculous law, but that doesn't mean you get to hold my money hostage.
Tyrone Mclean: Sir, if you would like me to continue to assist you you will have to stop being insultive.
Mark Mohr: You have to understand that your company has already insulted me by not giving me any fwarning that I would not be able to cashout. You said it was business as usual.
Mark Mohr: Which was a damn lie.
Tyrone Mclean: Sir, it is post on our site in bold letters.
Mark Mohr: when?
Tyrone Mclean: Since 10am this morning.
Mark Mohr: holy [censored]
Mark Mohr: so how long did I have between when you posted it and when I could get my money out?
Mark Mohr: You guys knew this bill was passing and knew Bush was signing it so you knew you were going to block me from getting my money and you never told me. You should have told me a week ago.
Mark Mohr: This is complete [censored].
Tyrone Mclean: At 10.00am this morning, US Eastern time, President George Bush signed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006, bringing that Act into force.

As a result, and in accordance with the advice of its lawyers, Betcorp Limited has suspended all US-facing operations, pending further analysis of the Act’s final text and receipt of further legal advice.

This means that, until further notice, it will not be possible for US residents to place wagers or make deposits on, or make withdrawals from, any website owned or operated by any company in the Betcorp group. This account freeze will remain in place until such time as Betcorp has fully assessed its legal position.
Mark Mohr: I understand. I am telling you that you should have let me know this was going to happen ahead of time. This bill was no secret.
Tyrone Mclean: Sir, it was posted on the site.
Mark Mohr: Instead, you guys acted like it was business as usual. Completely insulting. I want an apology.
Mark Mohr: When was it posted???? TODAY???? What gooddid that do me???? NONE, it was too [censored] late.
Mark Mohr: I logged in to your poker site every day this week and there was never any message that my funds were going to be blocked starting today.
Tyrone Mclean: We did not know that the president would going to sign the bill
Mark Mohr: JESUS CHRIST, are you [censored] serious?
Mark Mohr: Do you think Congress just passes bills for the hell of it?

I agree with the OP, this is stupid. They knew this bill was going to be signed into law, hell if I knew it then how couldn't they? Random ppl who read 2+2 know more than executives of multimillion dollar companies? LOL

Well if I was him , I would be acting like complete ahole too. The site came out and said it was business as usual and would keep accepting US customers as usualual, and then they pull this crap??? They should have forwarned customers they would not ber able to access their $$$ for a while.

They probably didn't want all the US players to withdraw. So they didn't give them any warning thinking it is in their best interest.

Quit treating their live chat like pieces of shiat. OP are you gonna claim ignorance for leaving money in BetWWTS? You knew this was gonna be signed but didn't run panicking like everyone else. I have a lot of money in WWTS too but going crazy on their live chat is gonna achieve what? Hows about you read some of the other threads and then you will know what is going on. BetCorp fcuked up. They should have already split the US customers off to a private company like SportingBet PLC did, but they waited until it was to late on Friday to achieve this. Come Monday it will be business as usual and cashouts will be processed as normal. They will sell the US portion for some small amount, which really seems like the shady part but hey we will still be able to gamble it up.

I hope come Monday they simply cancel all pending bets and cash you out if you treat their CS like the OP did. Not cool.

This site just ran a promo where they offered a free Monday night football bet of $100. In my case they did not honor the bet. Then when I tried to cash out they wanted me to jump through hoops to complete the cashout. They probably are sitting on a large number of small balances due to U.S. customers. They are CROOKS.
